Rematches Rule the Day with Zepeda/Farmer & Mayer/Ryan on ESPN and DAZN

This coming weekend, a pair of rematches headline playing cards on ESPN and DAZN. William Zepeda goals to make an enchancment on his efficiency in opposition to a wily previous vet in Tevin Farmer. That very same night time, Mikaela Mayer goes to battle within the 2nd act of a enjoyable combat, taking over Sandy Ryan. Heading into the William Zepeda vs. Tevin Farmer combat a lot of the consideration centered on what was presupposed to be subsequent.

A combat with Shakur Stevenson had been pushed again and finally by no means occurred after Farmer rose to the event. Previous to her combat with Sandy Ryan, Mikaela Mayer had come up on the quick finish of the scorecards in opposition to Alycia Baumgardner and Natasha Jonas. In her scrap with Ryan, it was Mayer getting the nod in a aggressive affair. 

Let’s start with Mayer vs Ryan half 2. Mayer gained a majority choice with two of the judges’ playing cards studying 96-94 and 97-93. Mayer received off to a a lot quicker begin than she did in these two current losses. To no shock, Mayer was the extra energetic boxer, touchdown to the physique at a better clip. Sandy was extra correct along with her jabs and total punches. Mayer might want to set up a jab that lands at an improved share this time round. Ryan might stand to land extra significant energy pictures. 

The primary time was an amazing back-and-forth combat that would’ve been a draw. This boxing podcaster believes Mikaela Mayer has the benefit in work fee and the flexibility to bang on the within and field on the skin. The betting odds are as shut because it will get: –112, -110, -115, and just one that I noticed had Mayer as a +100. Though we must always count on one other tight contest, search for Mayer to land the cleaner and extra telling punches sufficient to drag off this victory. 

My Official Prediction is Mikaela Mayer by Cut up-Resolution.

The second spherical between Tevin Farmer and William Zepeda is essential for each boxers. From the Farmer perspective, a win on Saturday would safe his short-term future, assuming he could be a strong opponent for a fighter of their prime or a real check for a prime prospect/contender. A reputation like Keyshawn Davis could come to gentle as an amazing payday for Farmer at this stage of his profession. 

A loss for William Zepeda could be devasting to an extent in any case. Having already been knocked down of their first assembly, if Zepeda got here up quick, William and his staff must return to the drafting board, taking a serious step again. Clearly, that might kill a doable matchup with Shakur Stevenson. The truth that Zepeda received dropped within the fourth spherical and the strain for him to obviously win the rematch, tells me we are going to see a totally centered boxer on combat night time. 

Farmer must combat the way in which he did in a number of of the early rounds together with the final two rounds. In these rounds, Farmer matched not solely exercise {which he possible won’t ever for a full combat} but additionally clear punches for the world to see. Search for Zepeda to rinse in repeat most of what he did the primary time. Clearly, he can’t afford to get dropped once more. The betting odds favor Zepeda by a landslide which this boxing junkie assumed it wouldn’t be that huge. Because it stands on Thursday, Tevin Farmer is slated wherever from +450 as much as +550. Though Zepeda needs to be the favourite placing just a little one thing on the underdog is an efficient wager. Pairing it with Zepeda by choice for +124 and/or -119 Zepeda by KO is an attention-grabbing angle as effectively. 

My Official Prediction is William Zepeda by Unanimous Resolution. 

Facet Be aware: On the undercards, Valle vs Esparza on DAZN needs to be a two-way combat. Bruce Carrington vs. Enrique Vivas and Brian Norman Jr. vs. Derrieck Cuevas on ESPN.
