Comments Thread For: Xander Zayas embraces first step to joining Puerto Rican greats he?s long idolized

[boxingitis]

That said, Xander-Baraou is a fight that is actually happening. Boots-Vergil not there yet and doesn't seem like it will be next or even anytime soon.

Zayas didn't WANT the Vergil Ortiz Smoke either and that's not Happening. You can't force people to get in the Ring. Ennis already rejected to Fight Ortiz when Turki offered it.

Ortiz vs Zayas would have been bigger than Zayas vs Baraou.

This is a good fight. Baraou is no slouch. Seen it with my own eyes.

This is Xander's first realy threat and a fighter who could beat him.

2 out of 4 belts not being defended against top opposition is holding the belts hostage

----------------
Zayas is fighting to unify two belts. How in the heck is that holding a belt hostage? Fundora was set to fight Keef, so how exactly is he holding that belt hostage considering he fought Tszyu in his last fight and was set to fight Keef? Do we know who his next opponent is going to be?
