May be his hope here, Heita, make it physical make it ugly if you have too. His jab has been all but nullified though. Actually going Heita in 7th. Nothing great very close but did more work. 5-2 Carrington

Slow and peaceful 8th here, see this as a much tighter round. They're saying Shu Shu is pulling a shut out but he's also leaving a lot of empty air and doing some watching. Heita busier but Shu Shu with cleaner sharper shots. 6-2 Shu Shu
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Fights gone a little bit ehhh if we're honest. Shu Shu winning 8-2 but not pressing advantages and looking like he's content to paint by numbers.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
9-2 Shu Shu. Very quiet 11th and into the final round where crowd is pretty mellow. I wanted Shu Shu to press these advantages. He looks way to content imo but yes winning clearly. Heita is a tricky tough nut but has only been that since maybe the 5th. 12th to Shu Shu
Have 118-110 at the end.

Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Main event intros I swear this new form and look Zayas just stepped out of Stand and Deliver ;D. Be in and out on this end I hear echos.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Early action Zayas 1st round and Garcia lands in 2nd. Zayas moving smart and shot a couple of lasered right hands leaving Garcia in a lurch in that 2nd. This will heat up nicely.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Zayas 3-0 into 4th. Faster cleaner moving smarter. Garcia legit a step behind in every category so far. He feints on right and back with left to body and shoots right clean. He's picking spots here in 4th. Right hand clips Garcia end of round. It's all Zayas.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Zayas buzzes him in 5th and also uses shoulder bumps to position him and reset. Takes a shot. Zayas having it all his way and Garcia looks like a spectator.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Zayas clipped with a couple of silly wide shots in 6th but responds right off with big right hand. 6-0 Zayas needs to stay sloppy punch aware late though.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Can't see anything but Zayas 8-0 into 9th. Zayas getting Peter pan feet on occasion but he's working everything. Nice crooked right upper from outside gets Zayas clean but Zayas staying mobile and keeping his head. 8-1 Zayas.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
9-2 into the 12th. Zayas unraveled a little bit still has some holes but staying the course. Garcia robotically behind most of the fight but got in some clumps. Minor feel of keep-away by Zayas last rounds. Oddly ends at the same score as co main and same feeling...118-110 Zayas.
Re: Xander Zayas v Jorge Garcia Perez ESPN Sat. 26th - The last show
Scores in 116-112 118-110 and 119-109 Unanimous dec Xander Zayas. Tons of emotion in that corner for him. Glad he got it looked improved. But work to be done it doesn't end, for any fighter, and 154 is a shark tank. Let's make these unifications
