[Southpawology]

Xander can get a stoppage if he opens up a bit more

Shut out for Zayas halfway thru

Perhaps someone like Vladimir Hernandez or Damian Sosa would had been a better choice than this version of Patrick Texeira.

I mean thsn don't the same achievements so they wouldn't catapult Zayas, but at least it be more of entertaining.

Xayas is only 21 and is already a big draw in NYC - they're going to move him slow.

Those beatings Teixeira took from Castano and Kurbanov really took it out of him. He's only 33, way too young to look this shot.

True, though I think he be a contender pretty soon. Facing a gatekeeper is a most but considering his young age it isn't necessary to rush at this point.

Yup , I agree and his power seems to have disappeared also
Maybe time to call it a career

[paul77]

Bradleys comment about the weight affecting Teixeira makes sense. He seems to have no power or pop whatsoever.

[ShoulderRoll]

Zayas doesn’t look to have Cotto’s killer instinct.

[BigZ44]

Teixeira did not enjoy the 8th rd

Zayas finally stepping on the gas...
