    Xander is big. And Boots has generally benefitted from a huge size advantage (see his fight with Stanionis). So there's at least one wildcard here.

    Jordan is the only athlete in history who has sooooooooo much money coming in that his gambling addiction has no bearing on his wealth. For any other guy, its going to lead to going broke.

    Yeah in a sense because there's always more coming up but he's probably not stupid about it either. A real degenerate gambler can go through any amount almost like they're doing it on purpose.

    Every Zayas interview I watch the dude seems like he's trying to convince himself he can win. Boots just has the mindset of this guy's not on my level and Imma show it.

    I cannot for the life of me envision this being a competitive fight.

    I don't see zayas as quicker than vargas, not handspeed wise, at least. Definitely a level or 2 below vargas talent wise

    I think zayas believes he will come in heavier and be able to take the punishment and he'll also be on his bike constantly. He also must look at the fight like he has nothing to lose, and will move up immediately after with the built in excuse of the weight cut

    Once it begins to get ugly his corner will stop the fight before he takes a career altering beating

    Unless he gets hurt early and ennis follows up to end it brutally before the corner can toss the towel

    Yeah this one is just about levels. Boots is just way better than Xander. If it’s competitive, that only raises Zayas stock. But no, I’m not expecting him to win this fight.

    Ben Whittaker Will Be Making His American Debut On the Xander-Boots Undercard as Well.

    Undercard sucks

    Must not have been much left in the budget after paying zayas a severance package for accepting this execution

    FNF undercard? COME on…he could Main Event a few FnF. He will eventually make it to HBO Boxing After Dark.

    In Xander I see more Kermit Cintron than Felix Trinidad…

    Xander seems to have a solid chin though.

    Ill probably just save my $ for spence vs tszyu since you also get charlo and fulton vs tough aussies on the stacked undercard!!

    Saturdays undercard is trash. Vargas blowing out some upstate NY whitey is co feature

    You and Neil Mentioned DAZN Ultimate a Few Fights Ago and REED Has Unsuccessfully Tried to Upgrade His Subscription.

    The DAZN App Refers REED to Apple Billing For That Purpose, Who Refers REED Back to the DAZN App. Perhaps They Only Allow Upgrades On a Yearly Basis, Not Sure?

    I'd be surprised if they didn't let you update. I'd try emailing them.

    I'm debating on ordering if the UC is shit, because the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Zayas has zero chance on Saturday. Might order, might not. I'll decide on Saturday. Leaning toward just watching the World Cup.

    I would have ordered Spence-Tszyu, but as I said on another thread I'll be away that weekend.
