I like Zepeda in this one. Neither fighter has fought top-tier opposition yet, but I would say Zepeda's record is slightly more distinguished. He has good power in both hands and is a good boxer, I don't see Flanagan being able to take the abuse for the entire fight.
Flanagan has tendency to stay in the ropes and against a puncher like Zepeda it could cost him ,dont know how good Flanagan's chin is but is going to get checked in this fight, if he can take Zep's bombs he might go on to win a decision(probably controversial) specially when hes fighting at home but if i were to pick i would go with Zepeda by KO. BTW Jim where's Randy?
Also Zepeda is dropping down two weight classes we dont know what effect that will have come fight night, if it goes to the later rounds that could come into play.
True, but if he can carry his power down he could be even more dangerous. Did anyone see how he looked in the weigh in? Btw: Randy's high in the street shooting off fireworks and eating chicken fingers.
Hard one to predict, if Flanagan can survive into the middle rnds, he may well cruise through to controversial decision.
