William Zepeda remained in place to get a featherlight WBC title against Shakur Stevenson, victory in the majority of Tevin Farmer on Saturday at Cancun, Mexico.
One judge won the 135-Funt competition 114-114, but the other two had it 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Zepa.
This is Zepeda’s second victory over the farmer, who won the knocking during the November meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which is scheduled for 10 rounds. However, the rematch was staged in the native country of Zepeda within 12 rounds.
“I didn’t take this fight because I beat him [the first time]I took this fight because it was a test – said 28 -year -old Zepeda through the translator. “I knew he was hard for the first time and this time he was even more hard. And thank you for giving me the opportunity and I am very grateful that we had 22 rounds.”
Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) dominated the first five rounds behind his Southpaw stab, relentless pressure and body attack. He was on the verge of a farmer, a former 130-pound champion, in round 5, when he landed unanswered.
The judge intended to stop the fight when the farmer (33-8-1, 8 KO) conjured up the upper several to end the round. Despite the apparent left hand injury in round 1, Farmer, Southpaw, he still landed with this leftist Uppercut in round 6, his best fight.
The farmer’s success lasted on the section, but it was not enough to sway the judges. He lost the third in a row (the second loss was against the featherlight pretender Raymond Muratalla in July), although the farmer significantly improved his reserves with two bold performances against Zepeda.
“Nothing against Zepeda, he is a warrior. … He doesn’t create results cards … Probably one of the most hard fighters in the division because of his production,” said Farmer, 34-year-old from Philadelphia. “If you can’t keep up with his results and you can’t hurt him, he exerts pressure on you.
“I have respect for a warrior, I have no respect for boxing. … I dominated all the last rounds. … The first seven was a bit rocky. … I can’t go to the camp, not to make decisions and not be robbed. The last fight was closer to this fight.”
Zepeda is a featherlight No. 2 ESPN after Stevenson. Along with Zepeda’s victory, he will keep his mandatory position in WBC and can win his first title this summer, trying with one of the best fighters of this sport.
