Golden Boy Boss, Oscar de la Hoya, says that he expects WBC that the ephemeral master of lightweight William Zepeda will be on higher equipment to get a knockout against “porter” Tevin Farmer in a 12-round rematch on March 29 at Cancun, Mexico. The event will be shown live in Dazn.
Farmer’s “tricks”
Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) defeated the farmer (33-7-1, 8 KO) with ten rounds divided on November 16 in Latino Night, Riyjad. The fight was close enough to demand a rematch of fans, but it was one of those matches that would be one -sided if a different set of judges were assigned.
Zepeda dominated his bodies, but the judges were only chosen for head shots. It was there that the farmer had the advantage. The original idea was to operate a farmer to lend a hand Zepeda prepare for the title against the challenging lithe champion of WBC Shakur StevensonBut considering how strictly the competition was obtained, it made the rematch necessary.
If Zepeda is struggling in this fight, he must achieve a different course at the WBA or IBF belt. Following a silky boxer, who is only interested in knocking and running, is not a good style for Zepeda. He likes to throw hefty blows and he can’t do it against warriors who operate the Hit-And-Run style that Shakur uses.
Zepeda will be better prepared for a rematch with a farmer who can handle his silky style, and probably knocking him out. From there, Shakur is a fight. It is a less powerful version of Farmer and Giovanni Cabrera.
“I thought the first fight was great. Delayed nights in Riyadh were amazing, the whole card from top to bottom – said Oscar de la Hoya Golden boy On the first competition between WBC’s ephemeral champion, Zepeda and Tevin Farmer, on November 16 last year.
Zepeda-Farmer was humorous in November last year, especially in the rounds of the championship, when Zepeda really began to put him on a farmer. It was fascinating to watch. If he were a 12-runder, Zepeda would probably throw the farmer because he looked at all shots in the body that hit him with the whole fight.
Progress
“William Zepeda, we prepare him for unification, world titles, and Tevin Farmer is a warrior who is challenging, the goalkeeper who will test you and takes the boundaries,” said De la Hoya. “He did this against Zepeda in Riyadh. So he calls on a rematch.
“I thought that the style of a farmer with Zeda was the perfect fight. It will be a great fight again, but I am looking for William Zepeda to speed up her and probably knock out Tevin Farmer. It’s not basic. The farmer is a mechanic in the ring.
“He is a warrior who knows how to come up with you. He is a warrior who does not give up. So I’m looking for this rematch to be one of these wars, one of these fights of the year, “said De la Hoya.
With only nine days left until Oleksandr Usyk defends his WBC heavyweight world title against Rico Verhoeven, the WBA federation has decided to allow him to defend his belt as well.
Rico Verhoeven, considered a Dutch kickboxing legend, boasts a professional boxing record of just 1-0; that victory came over 12 years ago against Janos Finfera, who was 0-5 at the time.
This has led to speculation that the WBA and IBF may strip Usyk of his titles along with Murat Gassiev [WBA] and the winner of the Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr. fight. [IBF] he will likely benefit from this and either be elevated to champion status or set up for a free title fight in their respective bodies.
However, in an intriguing yet confusing twist, The WBA suddenly announced the terms of the “title fight” after a “special request”. They have now determined that Usyk’s victory will count as a successful title defense, but if Verhoeven were to create such an unusual situation, “the WBA Championship Committee will then review his [Usyk’s] status’.
“If Usyk emerges victorious, the fight will be officially recognized as a successful title defense. If the champion loses, the WBA Championship Committee will review his status and determine the next course of action regarding the heavyweight championship.”
Therefore, while Usyk can officially retain his WBA heavyweight title with a triumph next Saturday, unranked Verhoeven will not be able to claim the belt.
Although the WBA revealed that a victory for Verhoeven would allow him to enter its heavyweight rankings.
Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.
“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.
“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.
“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?
“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.
“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.
“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”
Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.
“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.
Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.
