    This coming Saturday August 1st for the vacant WBC Lightweight Title. It will be covered by DAZN.

    It's a good, competitive matchup.

    What is your prediction?

    It'll be an interesting clash of styles. I think Zepeda's aggression and workrate will be outmatched by Roach's elusiveness and accuracy. I'm predicting a points victory for Roach.

    I think Zepeda ends up edging it due to workrate but Roach will make it tough. Question is if Roach ends up getting beat convincingly this time or if he does more than enough to finally get a fair shake on the scorecards.

    Zepeda decision

    You put Zepeda by KO twice in the poll


    Not sure if that was intentional

    I think if Pitbull gave Roach as much trouble as he did, then someone just as aggressive and probably more skilled in Zepeda is a bad style matchup for Roach. I have Zepeda by decision.

    Unintentional. I can't remove it, but I've edited it to add Zepeda by decision.

    Maybe it was subconscious "Freudian slip" since there is little chance a foreign-born boxer can receive a decision win over an American in the USA (Holyfield-Lewis I, Mayweather-Castillo I, many many others).

    Zepeda by decision. I thought Roach won his last two, but Zepeda did surprisingly good against Shakur and Roach isn't Shakur.
