By Joe Hicketts: William Zepeda (32-0, 27 kos) faces Tevin Farmer (33-7-1, 8 kos) in Cancun this Saturday, March 29, in a rehabilitation of his November 2024, Zepeda won by a unanimous decision. The struggle will be for the title of Lightweight World World from Zepeda and will be broadcast and air Live in Dazn.
The best stories of sports often involve shock styles. I am thinking of people like Federer Nadal, Senna Prost and, of course, Ali Frazier. I guess I have always had a gentle place for two people approaching the same problem in completely different ways and the shock of culture it can entail.
That is why this weekend, although it really is a worldwide struggle quite curiously, which captures my imagination a little in a way that two more similar style fighters may not.
William Zepeda will return to Tevin Farmer again this Saturday in a resale of his first struggle in November and can be considered a bit of a Berlina struggle for the farmer who, although a little unfortunate in his career not to get the big fights between boys like the Davis tank, is on the back of the two back losses and is in that field of fighters of ” South, which will only make you look bad. “
A farmer in the first part of his career really looked at the mold of a Whitaker hange, the boxing of Southpaw Slick Backfoot, a great movement of the head with the occasional striking single, the greatest difference, but between the two it would be the fist power that the farmer does not have a little a bit and this is where his opponent William Zepeda capitalized in his fight last year.
If Farmer is your typical American Southpaw Cruidaner American style, Zepeda is your typical Mexican style fighter who is also only a SouthPaw. Nothing really attracts you on a Zepeda clock apart from your exit. It is much more vertical and of textbook in its style than the farmer, and struggles with this solid Mexican aspect of Jab Jab, enter inside, then three strokes to the body and end at the top.
None of them is especially spectacular, but what makes Zepeda special is that the departure is quite ridiculous. I am not really one for the fist statistics, but in the previous farmer’s struggle, Zepeda threw 131 punches in the round only, and while none of the punches has a real concussive power, it is the volume that finally drowns the opponent.
The best comparison would be strangely someone like Oleksandr Usyk, although they both have completely different styles are based on a solid stroke -stroke current instead of a wilder style manufacturer to do the damage, Zepeda is not a point of view of punch, despite what his KO relationship says, although he has a very solid variety in his fist pines and down, which means that the volume never converts.
I would say that although Zepeda is one of these guys who only know how to fight in one way, like Oleksandr Usyk, again, is something that knows what someone will do; It is another thing to go out and stop it. Zepeda will come out like a train and will be fine on the face by throwing hard features and drowning and trying to drown -with the activity, since I said that I do not think that nothing does it is really so special, but it must be slowed down in some way or, ideally or ideally through a little power in your own traits.
Do you see where I go here?
In the previous struggle, Farmer on my card lost the first three rounds, not because it was not successful, but because theirs were not enough to drown the combinations of five and six times that Zepeda launched. In short, Farmer could not make her slower struggle. Farmer ended up leaving Zepeda with a slip of textbooks and left the counter in the fourth, but in fact, Zepeda won quite comfortably the fight, moving over, overwhelming in the North -American and collected the rounds of the activity.
I do not think Zepeda is the world mixer Golden Boy believes that he, I have not seen much variety of how he can fight, I do not think he will use much in the movement of the head and, if he rests, I do not think it would be so effective. The question is, however, that the type of farmer does it?
If I were a farmer, I would be looking at many struggles by Bernard Hopkins to inspire, he must stop Zepeda in some way, to do it -ugly and then try to push Zepeda in the second half of the struggle he managed to do in places in the first, slower pace, better for the farmer. The difficulty is, however, that I do not think that Farmer really has the gas tank and the fist power to obtain the respect of Zepeda, and at the age of 34, will it really be better than him in his previous struggle?
I really like Farmer as a fighter, I think he is much more exciting than many casual and, despite having a reputation as a boxer that the boy can keep his feet and trade inside, the topic is that this opportunity can come for 5 years too late.
A younger farmer could have given Zepeda the adjustments, I only have the feeling that if it were the time of Farmer again it would have been in the first struggle.
I see that the struggle is indeed a repetition of the first with Farmer who overflowed a little from the opening bell. You may see a farmer who seeks to have his feet a little more and try to get the respect of the Mexican, and if this happens, it may be a little more an exciting struggle, I only see the more likely scenario that Zepeda sends a little punishment as the farmer’s lands, but the farmer does not have the murderer instinct to turn the screw, Zepeda and then re -collected himself. The farmer will have his moments, but as in the first, I do not see that a left hand is enough against four strokes inside. I think the unanimous decision of Zepeda is a very safe bet, but I would love to be mistaken.
