William Zepeda Segura vs. Tevin Farmer II & Yokasta G. Valle Álvarez vs. Marlen Esparza Puentes RBR

You know boxing scoring is subjective right? In a fight there's often a choice between ineffective pressure and clean hurtful punches. Farmer hurt him multiple times and landed the better punches. The people scoring the fight in here seemed to have some personal grudge against Farmer because in no world was it that wide under any criteria.

 

It was a weird fight. Zepeda marching forward throwing and missing punches constantly, completely one dimensional and ineffective. Farmer just stopped and looked like he wanted to quit in some rounds, did absolutely nothing. If Zepeda had some accuracy and power Farmer wouldn't have survived those rounds. Farmer looked like McCall against Lennox 2, he's lucky the ref didn't wave it in those rounds. Then in other rounds Farmer decided to fight and would toy with him, landing at will and hurting Zepeda with everything.

 

punches scored should be the primary criteria in any subjective, or objective scorecard. its how you keep score. everything else is secondary. zepeda scored many more punches through majority of the fight. it was a game effort by farmer, and he had his moments even at the end, but he was outscored and took some serious punishment.
to me it looked like farmer didnt have a gameplan. at least not one that he stuck to for long. he didnt maintain the distance to stay winning from the outside, he was getting as good as he was giving at midrange, and his organs were getting rearranged on the inside. he never really got zepeda to switch from his own gameplan.

 

I was having a similar thought watching this last night. Against someone like Stevenson he's gonna have a lot of success potentially, against Tank Davis hes potentially going to sleep.

 

I didn't see Zepeda landing too much. He certainly wasn't doing any damage with his punches. He was able to tee off on Farmer at the times when Farmer seemingly gave up. Zepeda had relatively dominant rounds when Farmer did nothing, but in the other rounds Farmer clearly had his way. It's one of the fights where punch stats mean nothing, because every round was completely different.

 

I disagree, punches need to be impactful. Zepeda' 'power' punches looked less than jabs, he was just walking forwards and poking with seemingly no impact on Farmer when he did land. Zepeda worked hard and stuck to his extremely one-dimensional gameplan consistently so I think he deserved to win, but by no means was it one-sided. If these were two unknown young prospects I'd be more interested to see what Farmer does in the future, he looked far more skilled and dominant whenever he threw. Zepeda seemingly gets buzzed by every shot that lands, and as far as I know Farmer isn't a big puncher. Two punches that stun Zepeda in a round are worth more than 10 pokes landing on Farmer by my scoring criteria, so that's why I would have had it closer.

Mystery solved.

 

Fair enough. I probably have a bias against that volume style, it's ugly and unexciting to me.

 

That does explain it very well,
Thanks for posting.
