00:00the wbc lightweight championship is going to be on the line on saturday night as shakur

00:15stevenson defends his belt against william zepeda let's break it all down we will start

00:21with the wbc lightweight champion shakur stevenson who now enters the ring 28 years

00:27old with a height of five foot eight and a reach of 68 inches the southpaw was born in newark new

00:32jersey and he holds an undefeated record of 23 wins and zero losses 11 of those wins coming by

00:40knockout his last fight was a tko win over josh padley uh in february of 2025 in riyadh saudi

00:47arabia to retain the wbc lightweight championship he is the former wbo featherweight champion wbc

00:53super featherweight champion wbo super featherweight champion um again current wbc lightweight champ and

01:00the ring magazine super featherweight champion he goes up against william zepeda who's 29 years old

01:05five foot nine with a 69 and a half inch reach the southpaw born in san mateo mexico he is also

01:12undefeated going 33 and 0 with 27 wins by knockout his last fight was a majority decision against

01:20uh tevin farmer back in march of this year that allowed him to retain the wbc interim lightweight

01:26championship a lot of talk coming into this and the selling of it not being a one-sided fight

01:33is zepeda is that that record uh the knockout percentage 33 fights he's knocked out 27 opponents

01:41the problem is um those six decisions four of them have come in the last six fights as the competition

01:48has stepped up those knockouts have started to dwindle away so i don't think that this is the

01:54like obviously it's a fist fight so knockouts can happen but i don't think this is the oh my god a big

02:01power guy that people will want to sell you as it that people want to sell you on i just think that

02:08like stevenson obviously defensively he outclasses everybody um and that power from zepeda it will be

02:15there i just don't know if it's going to be there consistently enough against shakur stevenson and the

02:19defense that he has the movement that he has and the offense that he can put on i i feel like the

02:24strength of zepeda in this isn't as strong as people think and isn't going to be nearly as effective

02:30against stevenson i think it's a bad matchup for him in theory it's the type that you want to see

02:35shakur against someone who will put that pressure up add that urgency for stevenson and see if he can

02:43actually drag an interesting uh entertaining fight out of it i don't know if that is going to

02:48be necessarily the case here that's the way zepeda is going to have to fight is you don't want to get

02:53reckless because stevenson is going to be able to pick that apart but you do want to amp that pressure

02:57up and create a little bit of tension create a little bit of awkwardness on the stevenson side

03:02and just hope that you could that that pressure is able to break through with one big shot but

03:06overall i just i just feel like stevenson's too good it's oversimplistic i know but i just feel

03:14like stevenson better at boxing than zepeda is i think the defense is going to limit the knockout

03:19opportunities i think that expertise in the movement is going to be there and stevenson we keep saying it

03:25he has to know that this has to be impressive right and i get the last one needed to be too and we all

03:32should like i am for some reason just going to give him the benefit of the doubt one more time

03:38but with the potential of a fight against davis coming up this has to look good this has to look

03:45spectacular and i have to believe stevenson knows that and i i feel like he is going to be one who

03:51can now put that together and try to come away here with an emphatic victory on saturday night so i am

03:58going to go with stevenson and i'm going to say he finishes this bout on saturday so those are my

04:05picks for the big boxing fights that we are going to see this weekend
