Tevin Farmer says a rematch with lightweight phenom William Zepeda is in order “coming soon,” and still insists he should have won his fight on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The farmer could wait a long, long time for the rematch with Zepeda to happen because it will never happen in this life. Zepeda easily won his fight last Saturday for the Latino Night event at The Venue in Riyadh. I think I speak for everyone when I say that there is no point in getting back into a rematch.
Farmer needs to line up and go back to 130 because he doesn’t have the pop in his fists to be in the 135 lb division with killer sharks like Zepeda, Abdullah Mason and Gervonta’ Tank Davis.
“REMATCH COMING SOON…BIG DAWG 2,” said Tevin Farmer Instagram about a second fight with William Zepeda.
Zepeda advances
Round one aside, in the fourth, Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) hit the brakes on former IBF 130-lb champion Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs), hitting him with body shots that doubled above No fans want to see Zepeda over Farmer with the volume punching a second time.
The farmer will have to live with his loss. I know it hurts, but he will take the pain, learn and return from where he came in super feather. It is like on another planet, light combat, and does not have the life support system to exist in this foreign territory.
It’s boring because the result is already predictable. Zepeda is on another level from the 34-year-old Farmer, who had nothing to offer with his Shakur-esque fighting style, which was quickly solved by the Mexican punching machine.
Zepeda passed that test, proving that his style is too much for the old, obsolete, archaic, dinosaur Potshot approach that Farmer and Shakur both use. That style is so passé in this era of boxing, and no one wants to see Zepeda rematch Farmer or fight Shakur. Zepeda wants the “Big Tuna”, Gervonta Davis, to fight the king of the lightweight division.
The farmer had nothing to offer Zepeda other than an occasional poke. That’s how he got the fourth round flash knockdown of Zepeda. It was just a potshot.
Golden Boy’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, probably didn’t want to rematch Farmer, because he wants to move Zepeda into a world title shot against one of the lightweight champions.
Initially, they were interested in fighting the WBC belt Shakur Stevenson, but with the impressive performance of Zepeda, they want the WBA champion Gervonta Davis. It would be a massive fight for Zepeda.
Zepeda outlasted Farmer in the other nine rounds and must they won by a 10-round unanimous decision regardless of whether the judges had included a body punch in scoring the fight. However, the judges were only magnified on the head shots, so they scored a narrow 10-round decision.
The Zepeda-Farmer judges’ scores
– 95-94 for Farmer
– 95-94 for Zepeda
– 95-94 for Zepeda
I had it 9-1 in favor of Zepeda over Farmer, and it wasn’t even a competitive fight. Even in Farmer’s best round, the fourth, it was all Zepeda other than the flash knockdown.
