Oscar de la Hoya for the loss of Zepeda in front of Stevenson: “The scores were out”

Hoya’s promoter Oscar says he believed “Scores were off” For the unanimous loss of William Zepeda’s unanimous decision of the fighter William Zepeda in front of the Light WBC champion, Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 kos) Saturday night in Queens, New York. De la Hoya still thinks Shakur struggled well enough to deserve the victory.

Why did the scores feel outside?

Oscar said that Zepeda (33-1, 27 kos) won the best of the action in the first half of the fight, but Shakur started in the second half. De la Hoya did not think about how he marked the fight.

Many fans felt that Zepeda had done enough to win all the first six rounds. The way the judges marked the struggle, focused on head blows, and ignored Zepeda’s body and the punch. It’s how judges are trained. Many of them tune in to the body of the body and only watch their heads.

“It was a good fight. The scores were out, but Shakur did his thing. The first half was Zepeda. The second half was Shakur. You have to give it to him,” said Eddie Hearn a Fight Hubreacting to his fighter, William Zepeda, losing to Shakur Stevenson last Saturday night.

“It was again and again. It was a fantastic show. He returns to the drawing box, but a loss is nothing. A loss for a really good fighter as Shakur does not mean anything. Rebathered -that’s what’s boxing,” said Hoya on Zepeda.

De la Hoya does not mention that the defects that Zepeda showed against Shakur were similar to those he had shown in his two closing fights against Tevin Farmer. Zepeda is very struck with the heads of head that the earth is clean and impresses the judges.

What were Zepeda’s fight defects?

1. Easy to hit with heads of head
2. Focusing too much on the punch of the body: the judges do not score punch on the body in the way they do it with the heads. They usually ignore the punch on the body when rounds are scored unless a fighter is visibly injured.
3. There is not enough power in volume: Zepeda’s power is not good enough with his high -start attacks to overcome the pleasant heads of the fighters judge like Shakur and Farmer.

“He (Zepeda) threw much more punch, but Shakur’s only thing is the punches that lands, they are very effective. So they are excellent for the score. I think, in general, it was a good struggle. It was another fantastic experience for Zepeda. You grow and learn. That’s it,” said Hoya.

When Zepeda failed, he remained near Stevenson enough to reach his head with punches. Many of the “El Camaron” Zepeda shots occurred because Shakur leaned back much of the time. William could have solved this problem by approaching -before he directed in his head.

Another problem that Zepeda had was Shakur’s participation. He did not fight among the clins as other fighters do, who are formed to deal with the boys who remain. Zepeda allowed Stevenson to tie it instead of free fighting or hitting him while retaining. Could have done any of these things. This is a training problem for Zepeda.
