Tevin Farmer claims a rematch with light-weight phenom William Zepeda is “coming quickly,” and he nonetheless insists he ought to have received their combat final Saturday night time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Farmer could possibly be ready a protracted, 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 received their combat final Saturday for the Latino Night time occasion at The Venue in Riyadh. I believe I converse for everybody after I say there’s no level in operating 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,” mentioned Tevin Farmer on Instagram a couple of second combat with William Zepeda.
Zepeda Is Shifting 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 need to dwell along with his loss. I do know it hurts, however he’s acquired to take the ache, be taught, and return from whence he got here at tremendous featherweight. He’s like on one other planet, preventing at light-weight, and he doesn’t have the life assist system to exist on this international territory.
That’s boring as a result of the end result is already predictable. Zepeda is on one other stage than the 34-year-old Farmer, who had nothing to supply along with his Shakur-esque preventing type, which was shortly solved by the Mexican punching machine.
Zepeda handed that take a look at, exhibiting that his type is an excessive amount of for the outdated, outdated, archaic, dinosaur potshot method that Farmer and Shakur each use. That type 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 except for an occasional potshot. That’s how he acquired the fourth-round flash knockdown of Zepeda. It was a single potshot.
Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya in all probability 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 towards one of many champions at light-weight.
Initially, they had been fascinated with preventing WBC belt-holder Shakur Stevenson, however with Zepeda’s spectacular exhibiting, they need WBA champion Gervonta Davis. That will be a large combat for Zepeda.
Zepeda outworked Farmer within the different 9 rounds and ought to have received by a lopsided 10-round unanimous resolution if the judges had included body-punching in scoring the combat. Nonetheless, the judges had been zoomed in on headshots solely, so that they scored it a slender 10-round cut up resolution.

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.
