The WBC Lightweight Interim Champion William Zepeda defends against Tevin Farmer this Saturday, March 29, in a rematch of 12 rounds, Live in Dazn In Cancun, Mexico. Zepeda (32-0, 27 kos) already defeated Farmer (33-7-1.8 kos) on the Latin night on November 16 in Riad last year, but Golden Boy’s promotions decided to execute it again because the game was close. The event begins at 7:00 pm et in Dazn.
Zepeda beat Farmer for a divided decision of 10 rounds, but was shot down in the fourth round by a left hand of the age of 34 and took many shots in the fight. The Mexican fighter could not keep the farmer in the posterior rounds when he seemed to have him fatigued by the rhythm and his fierce body attack.
12 rounds now
The rematch is for 12 rounds this time, what should play in Zepeda’s style because agricultural depleted in the posterior rounds. There are two more rounds, that will work well for Zepeda if you can push the fight at a fast pace like the last time.
Some fans believe that the real reason why the rematch is happening is that Zepeda managers did not feel he was ready to challenge the light WBC champion Shakur Stevenson for his title yet. Then, they decided to configure a rematch, waiting for Zepeda, 28, to work better.
If Zepeda fights again, Golden Boy may need to forget to match it against Shakur and concentrate on going after the FIB title.
To have an opportunity against the engine, Stevenson, Zepeda would need to change his style because he will never have the opportunity to stay close and throw the body against him. Shakur moves too much for that style to work against him.
That struggle style will never be good for the way Zepeda fights because it is a volume of volume that requires that its opponents be stationary. As for entertainment, Zepeda is much more exciting to see compared to Shakur, but is not built for that amateur style he uses.
