Zepeda: The Hardest Check But for Stevenson

Zepeda can be by far essentially the most formidable opponent of WBC light-weight champion Shakur’s profession. It’ll put together him for a mega-fight in opposition to WBA champion Gervonta David in the summertime of 2025.

For scouting functions, William Zepeda can be higher off watching Shakur’s combat in opposition to Edwin De Los Santos on YouTube than attending his combat in opposition to Cordina as a result of he’ll seemingly transfer lots much less in opposition to the British fighter than he’ll in opposition to him. Cordina isn’t a giant risk to beating him and is coming off a nasty knockout loss.

Shakur will probably be on the transfer in opposition to Zepeda as a result of he lacks the chin or offensive capability to face and commerce with him.

“[Trainer] Jay Najar tells me that he and ‘Camarón’ Zepeda are contemplating a visit to Saudi Arabia to see the combat between Stevenson and Cordina, in view of the potential of combating Shakur subsequent February,” stated Salvador Rodriguez on X about William Zepeda planning to scout WBC light-weight champion Shakur Stevenson’s subsequent combat in opposition to Joe Cordina on October twelfth in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Zepeda will combat Shakur as a result of he fought the mover Giovanni Cabrera final July. Cabrera was shifting across the ring, attempting to maintain Zepeda on the surface, but it surely didn’t work. Zepeda landed physique pictures to take his motion away and lower the ring off to batter him with pictures.

Cabrera had success early within the first two rounds, touchdown punches, however the combat turned badly for him within the third spherical when Zepeda received in shut and unloaded on him, hurting him to the physique.
