Stevenson vs Zepeda Prediction
William Zepeda is often considered the boogeyman of the lightweight division. The close Tevin Farmer fights dropped his stock a bit, but Farmer is a seasoned veteran who came in ready for those clashes.
Zepeda is a pressure fighter who likes to impose his will, something he'd look to do from get go against Shakur Stevenson. Zepeda also possesses brutal body shots and comes inside the range to do so.
Stevenson, though, is defensively responsible. He can maintain his range and it's very hard to cut off the ring on him. Stevenson has also hinted that he might exchange with Zepeda in the pocket if the situation calls for it.
While Zepeda is a gruelling opponent with KO power, Stevenson might be able to keep himself out of the way. The fight might turn violent in some instances, but it's hard to see Stevenson get caught up. He'll also look to land his own shots on Zepeda and make a statement with an impressive display of boxing.
