Xander Zayas Triumphs Over Slawa Spomer with 9th Round Stoppage

In a spectacular display of skill and power, Xander Zayas solidified his position as a top contender in the super-welterweight division with a commanding victory over Slawa Spomer. The fight, which took place at the iconic Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, saw Zayas successfully defend his NABF and WBO NABO titles.

From the opening bell, Zayas demonstrated his superior boxing abilities, consistently outmaneuvering and outpunching his opponent. The Puerto Rican prospect’s strategy focused heavily on attacking Spomer’s body, a tactic that proved highly effective throughout the bout.

Despite Spomer’s unwavering determination and occasional moments of success, he struggled to match Zayas’ speed and precision. The German-based fighter, making his US debut, showed remarkable resilience but found himself overwhelmed by Zayas’ relentless assault.

As the fight progressed, Zayas’ dominance became increasingly apparent. The referee, Charlie Fitch, closely monitored the action, particularly as Zayas occasionally strayed low with his body shots. However, the young fighter managed to avoid point deductions and maintained his focus on breaking down his opponent.

The end came in the ninth round when Zayas unleashed a barrage of punches that left Spomer unable to defend himself effectively. Referee Fitch intervened at the 2:01 mark, bringing the contest to a close and awarding Zayas the TKO victory.

With this win, Xander Zayas improves his undefeated record to 21-0 (13 KOs), while Slawa Spomer suffers his first professional loss, falling to 20-1 (11 KOs). The performance further cements Zayas’ status as a rising star in the 154-pound division and a potential future world champion.
