Tevin Farmer claims a rematch with light-weight phenom William Zepeda is “coming quickly,” and he nonetheless insists he ought to have gained their combat final Saturday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Farmer might be ready an extended, very long time for that rematch with Zepeda to occur as a result of it ain’t by no means going to transpire on this lifetime. Zepeda simply gained their combat final Saturday for the Latino Evening occasion at The Venue in Riyadh. I believe I converse for everybody after I say there’s no level in working again in a rematch.
Farmer must get in line and transfer again all the way down to 130 as a result of he doesn’t have the pop in his punches to exist within the 135-lb division with the killer sharks like Zepeda, Abdullah Mason, and Gervonta ‘Tank Davis.
“REMATCH COMING SOON……. BIG DAWG 2,” stated Tevin Farmer on Instagram a couple of second combat with William Zepeda.
Zepeda Is Transferring On
Other than one spherical, the fourth, Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) beat the brakes off of the previous IBF 130-lb champion Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs), hitting him with physique photographs that had him doubling over. No Followers need to see Zepeda overwhelm Farmer with quantity punching a second time.
Farmer is simply going to should dwell along with his loss. I do know it hurts, however he’s received to take the ache, be taught, and return from whence he got here at tremendous featherweight. He’s like on one other planet, combating at light-weight, and he doesn’t have the life assist system to exist on this overseas territory.
That’s boring as a result of the end result is already predictable. Zepeda is on one other degree than the 34-year-old Farmer, who had nothing to supply along with his Shakur-esque combating fashion, which was rapidly solved by the Mexican punching machine.
Zepeda handed that check, exhibiting that his fashion is an excessive amount of for the outdated, outdated, archaic, dinosaur potshot method that Farmer and Shakur each use. That fashion is so passe on this period of boxing, and ain’t nobody desires to see Zepeda run it again with Farmer or combat Shakur. Zepeda desires the ‘Huge Tuna,’ Gervonta Davis, to combat the King of the light-weight division.
Farmer had nothing to supply Zepeda apart from an occasional potshot. That’s how he received the fourth-round flash knockdown of Zepeda. It was a single potshot.
Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya most likely isn’t going to need to run it again with Farmer as a result of he desires to maneuver Zepeda right into a world title shot in opposition to one of many champions at light-weight.
Initially, they have been excited by combating WBC belt-holder Shakur Stevenson, however with Zepeda’s spectacular exhibiting, they need WBA champion Gervonta Davis. That might be a large combat for Zepeda.
Zepeda outworked Farmer within the different 9 rounds and ought to have gained by a lopsided 10-round unanimous choice if the judges had included body-punching in scoring the combat. Nonetheless, the judges have been zoomed in on headshots solely, so that they scored it a slim 10-round break up choice.
Zepeda-Farmer judges’ scores

I had it 9-1 in Zepeda’s favor over Farmer, and it wasn’t even a aggressive combat. Even in Farmer’s greatest spherical, the fourth, it was all Zepeda aside from the flash knockdown.
