William Zepeda suffered a right-hand harm final weekend in his ten-round cut up choice victory over Tevin Farmer at The Venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Golden Boy president Eric Gomez revealed that Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) had suffered a hand harm and would want to postpone his title shot towards Shakur Stevenson to a later date. These two had been going to battle on February twenty second in Riyadh.
Nobody is aware of if this can be a legit harm for Zepeda, as he didn’t sound desirous to take the battle with Shakur after his 10-round cut up choice victory over Farmer final Saturday evening. Within the post-fight interview, Zepeda mentioned that his title is being “talked about by the opposite champions,” and he wasn’t positive who he’d battle for a world title. Though he did say he would “most likely” find yourself combating Shakur, he didn’t look excited when he mentioned that. It was nearly as if, Zepeda noticed that because the final selection.
Social media followers suspect Zepeda, 28, is ducking Shakur and simply stalling for time, ready for the result of the March 1st battle between WBA light-weight champion Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach. If that’s the case, it’s comprehensible why he would need to try this; it’s a better-paying match for Zepeda.
The one draw back for Zepeda in ready till Tank’s battle with Roach is over is that he’ll miss out on the payday towards Shakur on February twenty second. Nonetheless, that’s a battle the place Zepeda can be the underdog, and he may find yourself getting outboxed by the fleet-footed Shakur.
If Zepeda loses to Shakur, he gained’t get into the battle towards Tank Davis. He can be eradicated. That’s why it’s higher for Zepeda to not battle Shakur and anticipate the Tank battle if there’s a chance of getting that match.
“No, so Zepeda suffered an harm. He harm his hand. We want to see when to reschedule that as a result of that’s the battle Zepeda desires,” mentioned Eric Gomez to ESNEWS concerning the right-hand harm William Zepeda suffered towards Tevin Farmer final Saturday evening and that he would want to reschedule the battle towards Shakur Stevenson.
