What is at stake and where the fight happens at:
- Weight class: Lightweight (135-pound limit)
- Title at stake: The vacant world lightweight championship – the lineal title in a sense.
- The belt became available after the previous champion moved up in weight
- The fight matches the top-ranked lightweight against the immediate challenger
- One of boxing’s most competitive and stacked divisions at the moment, lightweight.
- Zepeda is a pressure fighter known for high punch volume and power (33-1-27 KO) – typical Mexican when he gets going.
- Roach is a former world champion who moved up and recently fought Tank Davis to a draw
- Zepeda’s only loss was to Shakur Stevenson, not long ago too, he gave him a solid fight last year in his points loss to the American.
- Roach has not lost since 2019 (to former champion Jamel Herring); draws with Tank Davis and Cruz boosted his reputation
- Lamont Roach is currently 25-1-3-10 KO as a professional.
Do not forget that Lamont Roach is coming into this off the back of two draws as well.
To Isacc Pitbull Cruz and Lamont Roach before that in early 2025. That is rare in boxing.
He will be coming all guns blazing in the fight as a result, rest assured on that.
So will Zepeda though. He will still be looking to move on from that Shakur Stevenson fight.
Bring it on this weekend.
Solid scrap this.
