William Zepeda won a majority decision over Tevin Farmer to retain his WBC Interim Lightweight Belt.
Zepeda was the better fighter, landing the more convincing shots to secure his second win over Farmer. Farmer was in trouble as early as round two after a Zepeda punch appeared to injure him. Farmer showed discomfort in his arm, with suggestions he picked up an elbow injury. Farmer showed huge resolve by landing his counter right in the fourth.
He also survived a possible stoppage in the fifth when the referee could have stopped it when Zepeda had Farmer on the ropes. However, Farmer threw his uppercut to prevent that. The same uppercut resulted in Farmer’s best round in the sixth. Farmer continued to stay with Zepeda, but he was only throwing his right hand, showing the injury hampered him. Zepeda was the better fighter, outlanding Farmer with 344 punches to 152, as shown on CompuBox. Zepeda is now a step closer to facing WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson.
AND STILL! 🇲🇽🏆
