    The way he was getting lit up by Karen, I don't think it's safe to say. He's getting wrecked at MW, if he makes it there unscathed.

    Picking Zayas

    This is LMW not WW
    Zayas is confident and going in with a game plan
    He is the unified champion. He didn't have to jump straight in to this fight but he has...

    lol I’m shocked so many people are saying 50/50, Xander is mediocre. Respect for taking this fight but I see nothing special about him at all. He has solid technique and fundamentals but Boots is way faster and hits harder.

    It’s a 50/50 fight IMO. Just read that Boots has to trim or shave his beard?

    Yes, he's not a big puncher but his footwork and angles are excellent. Watch Zayas vs Garcia

    I choose Zayas because most people lick Boots' ass and praise him too much...
