Zepeda’s a different kettle of fish, as he has tremendous power and just keeps on throwing non-stop punches. He is also of a younger age advantage in reach and height compared to his opponent, Tevin Farmer. He has also fought more in the past two years and won compared to Tevin. Tevin definitely doesn’t have the power to keep Zepeda off of him, and Zepeda’s relentless punching will be too much for him. Zepeda and Tevin are worthy opponents. Nevertheless, I think that William Zepeda will win by technical knockout.
