William Zepeda wins a slim decision in a rematch with Tevin Farmer

Published

on

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.

Ennis vs. Stanionis: Will the “shoes” prove to be noise or failure and smoke?

Image: Ennis vs. Stanionis: Will 'Boots' Prove the Hype or Crash and Burn?

Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that on April 12, the struggle of unification between Jaron Masters Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will be “the biggest fight in the USA this year”, when the headline at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.

Hearn says that this fight will show whether Ennis (33-0, 29 KO) is “real great” or not. Unfortunately, Ennis looked great in his last defense of the title against Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Some believe that the shoes showed his real colors and that he was never as good as noise.

Stanionis: Test

After Jaron worked for a 12-round decision, boxing fans began to jump over, abandoning the Ennis ship and perceiving him as a lost case.

It was not the first time Ennis looked marginal, because in his first fight he turned in bad performances against David Avanesian, Roiman Villa and Chukhadzhian.

Although Ennis talked about a good game, he did not look like the same warrior who had been organized with a higher class of fighters since he was. His boxing IQ is gone. We saw Karen so loudly and clearly when Karen taught him in November last year. The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, may have remorse the buyer, regretting pouring the signing of Ennis.

If the shoes look bad against Stanionis on April 12, it will be engaging to check whether Hearn will keep him on board or give it up like a bad habit.

“This is the biggest fight in the USA this year. It is supremacja. #1 against No. 2. WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine,” said Eddie Hearn to Stamping At around April 9, the fight between the IBF Errol Spence welterweight master and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.

“This is the best struggle in the welterweight and stylistically division, it is such a brilliant fight. Stanionis is a beast- the whole action, a bunch of action and a really good technique.” Shoes “are really against it. Despite all the noise and everything, this is a fight in which “shoes” show that it is a real great, and I can’t wait. “

Hearn is wearing his promoter’s hat when he claims that Ennis vs. Stanionis is “the biggest fight in the USA this year” because apparently not. There is an excellent card on May 2 at the Times Square, which has several fights that will attract greater interest in fans than this.

“Hall Boardwalk, I think we will have 10,000 there. It will be absolutely amazing,” said Hearn. “This is the biggest fight in the USA this year and the best fight in the USA this year. Yes, April 12 at Hall Boardwalk.”

In Boardwalk Hall there will be a nice crowd for the ennis-Stanionis party. Shoes and Stanonis will have to keep a fun program to make fans elated. Hearn hopes that the shoes are making a number on Eimantas so that he can start setting another unification fight with the WBO WBO BRIAN Norman Jr. Or more likely that WBC Master Mario Barrios.

It seems to me that Hearn will save Norman Jr. Finally, because he is the most tough of the other two masters he would have to defeat. The longer Ennis is waiting, the better for him, because Norman Jr. He can be picked up by someone, which would save him a problem with fighting him.

“It’s a unique collection of two lanes. WBA and a ring magazine,” said Boots to Matchroom boxing about his fight with Stanionis.

“It’s a good fight. Stanionis is one of the best. I think he is one of the best in this weight,” said Derek “Bozi” ENNIS. “This is where you will see shoes at a different level. They have not seen a high level yet. I think that the shoes have fallen into the habit of exclusion.

Joyce vs. Hrgovic, the battle for the meaning: “I will win” – predicts Joyce

Image: Joyce vs. Hrgovic, a Battle for Relevance: 'I'm Going to Win,' Joyce Predicts

Joe Joyce predicts that he will defeat the pretender for heavyweight Filip Hrgovica in a 10-round headliner on Saturday, April 5, live at DAZN at 14:00 et/11: 00 PT with Co-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England.

No warrior can afford another loss if they want to stay in hunting for a shot in the title of world champion. 32 -year -old Hrgovic was knocked out in the eighth round by Daniel Dubois in June last year in Riyjad in a fight in which he was a favorite to win.

Hrgovic was put as a substitute after Dillian Whyte withdrew from the fight with Joyce because of an injury. He is a complex deputy for Joyce and he doesn’t look good.

“The Juggernaut” Joyce (16-3, 13 KO) has a 1-3 record in its last four fights and slipped out of the 15 best rankings after his last defeat with Derek Chisor on July 27 last year. Joe’s performance in this fight was one of the worst in his career because he looked slowly at 281 pounds.

It seems that Joyce has not cut the Saturday fight against the replacement opponent of Hrgovic (17-1, 14 KO), which can be a bad news for him. In the last three fights of Joyce he weighed in the years 280. And this is too much weight for him, because he is too free to carry this kind of size. It must be in the 250s, but it doesn’t look like it happened.

“It is quite highly rated and it is a name that will return to the top,” said Joe Joyce Queensberry About his fight with the pretender Filip Hrgovic on Saturday, April 5 in Manchester, England. “Bookmakers are not always right. Let’s see. This is a great fight,” said Juggernaut Joyce, asked why Hrgovic became a favorite, even though Daniel Dubois lost.

Hrgovic occupies #6 IBF, #6 WBA and #6 WBC. After the way he looked with his loss with Dubois, he will probably have to focus on winning the position to fight in the eliminator of the world championship title to become a must. None of the champions will give Hrgovica the title of world champion in voluntary defense because he is too hazardous.

Second round

“This is not the best situation, but there is a great recovery,” Joyce said about his thoughts about Dillian Whyte withdrawing from the fight. “Yes, it’s a pity what happened to his finger, but it can happen in boxing.”

Whyte would still be a really complex fight for this version of Joyce, but more possible to win than towards Hrgovic. This is a bad duel for Joyce, unless he finds a youth fountain.

“I know his posture, his style and who he trains,” said Joyce about Hrgovita. “I have a good idea for what to do and how to beat it. It was a great performance, and I try to do the same,” said Joyce about his five -time win in the decision with Hrgovic at the World Series of Boxing in 2013.

“We had fights, we learned and we intend to have a great fight. There is some history, but I will win.”

Coach Mickey Bey says that Terenka Crawford should not be hefty on his title challenge against Unified Super Middle Wweight Champion Canelo Alvarez in September.

Bey thinks that Bud is smarter, who has inflammation from 165 to 168 at night. He says that Crawford should fight more or less the same weight in which he weighs, because it would allow him to maintain speed against Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO)

Crawford will not give any additional power than what he had at the age of 154 or 147. Adding muscles does not improve power in many cases, especially when a fighter in a hurry during one training camp. The only time to add additional muscles improves the power when the warrior is on PED, as in the case of steroids designed to create strength.

The perfect weight of Crawford

“In my opinion, I would not be hefty. I would come at 165 and on the same weight to fight. 165 or 168,” said coach Mickey Bey to Millcity boxing Asked what weight, Crawford, he should break free to fight with the United Champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

Crawford already looks like he has packaged a lot of pounds and seems much larger than during the last fight. Of course, the training camp did not start. Maybe Crawford will eliminate, but it doesn’t look like it will be. He counts on the possibility of matching Alvarez in the size department.

“He shouldn’t hydrate much. He should just stay where he is. Why would he hydrate a lot when he is growing?” Bey said about Crawford. “I’m talking about the best form. Yes, it can weigh. I say that Crawford should be under 170 in the ring or at the age of 170.”

Crawford will be tardy if it again takes 180 pounds after incision of the fight against Canelo, and this will act against his ability to move around the ring. The best thing for him is his speed and mobility. It will be devoted to this if he spends up to 180 years.

Fight night weight

“Whatever feels good in sparring many times, in this I came to. 168-171, I would remain in this respect. This is the only factor, he was not too free. 165 and fights anywhere on the same weight. He will probably have 165 or 170 when he will fight. He can do 160 very uncomplicated or 154, he can do.

“So he can enter everything like Floyd at the age of 154. With Crawford, when he is in the best shape, it will probably be in the 160s.
