Golden Boy’s head, Oscar de la Hoya, says he hopes the WBC light champion William Zepeda “Gatekeeper” Tevin Farmer in his 12 -round revange on March 29 in Cancun, Mexico. The event will be displayed Live in Dazn.
Zepeda (32-0, 27 kos) won Farmer (33-7-1, 8 kos) for a ten-round decision on November 16 on Latin night in Riyadh. The struggle was close enough for fans to make a demand for resuscitation, but it was one of those parties that would have been one side if a different set of judges were assigned.
Zepeda dominated with his body features, but the judges were only marked in head. It’s where Farmer had the advantage. The original idea was to use Farmer to help Zepeda prepare for a title shot against the complicated WBC light champion, Shakur Stevenson, but, considering the contest score, he made a necessary resale.
If Zepeda struggles in this struggle, he must take a different course in the WBA or IBF belt. Going after a boxer who is only interested in touching and running is not a good style for Zepeda. He likes to throw hard punches and cannot do it against the fighters who use the hit style that Shakur uses.
“I thought the first struggle was fantastic. Nights in Riyadh was incredible, the whole card from top to bottom,” said Oscar de la Hoya to Golden boy On the first contest between the light champion of WBC Interim, William Zepeda and Tevin Farmer, on November 16 last year.
Zepeda-Farmer entertained last November, especially in the rounds of the championship when Zepeda started putting it in Farmer. It was interesting to see. If it had been a shoot of 12, Zepeda would probably have demolished the farmer because he seemed exhausted from all the features of the body that struck him with the whole fight.
“William Zepeda, we have to fight the unifications, the world titles, and Tevin Farmer is a complicated fighter, a door goalkeeper, who will test you and take you to the limits,” said Hoya. “This is exactly what he did against Zepeda in Riad. Therefore, he asks for a resale.
“I thought the style of Farmer with Zepeda was a perfect struggle. It will be a great struggle again, but I am looking for William Zepeda to take it off and possibly eliminating Tevin Farmer. It’s not easy. The farmer is a mechanic in the ring.
“He is a fighter who knows how to discover -he is a fighter who does not give up. Therefore, I am looking for this resale to be one of these wars, one of those fights of the year,” said Hoya.
