Xander Zayas will appear for the sixth time in 2021 when he takes on Alessio Mastronunzio in the undercard of Vasyl Lomachenko vs Richard Commey in MSG, New York, on December 11. In two years after turning professional, Zayas has already grabbed attention with his quick turnarounds and flawless run.

The undefeated super welterweight star is currently leaping towards the title race and is taking on all the contenders in his way. While a top-tier opponent still seems far away, the Puerto Rican youngster is rightly bagging evenly matched bouts.

His upcoming fight will see him go against a surging Mexican prospect, who is also trying to make an impact in the 154 lbs division. Standing hours away from the fight, here’s a complete comparison of both men.

Who has a better boxing record? Xander Zayas or Alessio Mastronunzio?

11-0 as a professional, Zayas has 8 KOs under his name so far. Following an 8-1 run as an amateur, Zayas’ pro record already looks better than his amateur record. Meanwhile, Zayas has been very active in his pro-ride. He took two fights in his debut year (2019) and then appeared four times in 2020. This year he has appeared five times and will go for his sixth soon.

On the contrary, Alessio Mastronunzio has a 9-1 record with just 3 KOs in his favor. Akin to his opponent, he turned professional in 2019. However, his career pales in comparison to that of Zayas.

Meanwhile, Zayas can also use Alessio Mastronunzio’s sole defeat as a blueprint to craft his own success. Hence, the Puerto Rican seems to have an edge under this benchmark.
