Will be interesting to see how top rank moves zayas. He hasn't fought good competition so a fight with fundora will be a big step up. Will they slow play things or go right after him?

They are playing the long game with him.

Would be neat if Pacheco fought Munguia or Plant then if he won, got a title shot against Canelo.

I think Pacheco's reach and punch selection will cause problems for Canelo whose on the downslide. He also has been his main sparring partner for Callum Smith so both are aware of each other's style.

Though Diego's frame is filling out, think he should hurry before needing to move up. The mandatory will forced in the date of September, 2025.

Lots of rematches coming up.

First Ramirez vs Espinoza was amazing.

We haven't seen Zayas in deep yet but he looks weak in the legs. Like Ortiz, dangerous but frail. That and I remember the Verdejo hype. Everything that glitters is not gold.

Looking at the list of champions with their #1 contenders, many of those are among the better fights to be made in the division, unlike the steaming pile of garbage that is the IBF...

Xander Zayas is in the big leagues now, no more fighting opponents like Damian Sosa who are ranked # 89.
He's going to have to fight opponents who are ranked in the top 10-20, in order to maintain his lofty # 1 ranking in the 154 pound division.
I can't wait to see just who is going to be his next few opponent's on his way to a title shot, he already said that he want's to fight someone in the top 5!
