Ennis Zayas

Zaya is a natural… perfect technique, good reflexes, but he lacks power… he’s young—only 23—an excellent welterweight but better suited for super welterweight…

Ennis is a top fighter; we think that after Bud’s retirement, he’ll be the man to beat in the super welterweight division, assuming Mr. Ortiz hasn’t changed his plans…

That said…

Xande is too young to take on a fighter like Ennis… he has talent, a thirst for victory, and good reflexes… but he lacks power—knockout power—and that will be his limitation… he’s fast! Quick! He throws great combinations and is crafty… but it won’t be enough… he’ll lose on points…

Ennis… is lethal… he packs a punch; his technique and defense border on perfection. At 29, in his prime, he knows how to work both the inside and outside…

Xande will patiently attack him from every angle, but this guy will defend himself and be lethal… his young, powerful physique will allow the Puerto Rican to go the full twelve rounds, but he’ll have to be very careful… he’s taking a risk… I would never have arranged a match like this at such a young age… but as we know, boxing is… business…

Ennis by decision or before the decision…
