His power has disappeared as his comp has progressed. He is going to get dropped and stopped against elite fighters. Tszyu would hurt him badly.

I said it before and I'll say again, he reminds me a lot of Verdejo. Mostly a pretty boy that is athletic but with no single standout attribute. Perhaps we'll learn more about his chin one day, but as of right now, I don't see anything too special with him. Hope he can prove me wrong, but I just don't see it yet.

His legs look weak to me, he stumbles instead of dancing.

His showed more skills and stamina but his lack of punch might hold him back. He is still young.

It's about time, that we get to see if Xander can swim with the sharks of the division.
As far as the power outage goes, Sosa's never been ko'd, and Teixeira's only been ko'd once in 39 fight's.
Something tell's me that we're going to get a better idea as to how good Xander is in that next fight if it's against a top 5 contender!

Dude gets massacred when he steps up. No power, easy to hit.

That is a little harsh, the kid is e decent boxer, he'' just need to find some power to step up to the big dogs.
