William Zepeda suffered a right-hand harm final weekend in his ten-round break up resolution 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 wish to postpone his title shot in opposition to 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 wanting to take the battle with Shakur after his 10-round break up resolution victory over Farmer final Saturday night time. 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 alternative.
Social media followers suspect Zepeda, 28, is ducking Shakur and simply stalling for time, ready for the end 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 do 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 in opposition to Shakur on February twenty second. Nonetheless, that’s a battle the place Zepeda can be the underdog, and he might find yourself getting outboxed by the fleet-footed Shakur.
If Zepeda loses to Shakur, he gained’t get into the battle in opposition to Tank Davis. He can be eradicated. That’s why it’s higher for Zepeda to not battle Shakur and look ahead to the Tank battle if there’s a risk of getting that match.
“No, so Zepeda suffered an harm. He harm his hand. We need 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 in opposition to Tevin Farmer final Saturday night time and that he would wish to reschedule the battle in opposition to Shakur Stevenson.
