Zepeda defeats Farmer for the second time

In an explosive rematch, Mexican William Camarón Zepeda retained the WBC interim lightweight world title by defeating American Tevin 2X Farmer by majority decision in a bout held at the Benito Juárez Poliforum in Cancún, Quintana Roo.

In the second clash between the two fighters, the boxer from San Mateo Atenco, State of Mexico, retained his title after the judges’ scores scored 114-114, 116-112, and 115-113.

The Mexican unleashed effective combinations from the early rounds, punishing his opponent and keeping him on the ropes several times.

However, Farmer reacted and also began to damage Zepeda, who even suffered a nosebleed in the sixth round.

Although Camarón’s punches seemed more jolting, the Philadelphia fighter simply refused to buckle and also managed to land hard on the Mexican. In the final rounds, both fighters grimly sought the knockout, but neither was able to secure it, and the winner was decided by the Judges’ decision.
