Undefeated knockout artist William “El Camarón” Zepeda (29-0, 25 KOs) added another stoppage to his record and retained his WBA Continental Americas Lightweight Title in a blowout of Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta (34-4-3, 17 KOs).
From the opening bell, Zepeda launched overwhelming bombs and put incredible pressure against Gesta. Zepeda’s aggressive war tank had him unloading uncountable power combinations until the sixth round when Gesta’s corner told the referee to stop the fight at 1:31. The fight night was hosted at the Commerce Casino & Hotel and live on DAZN.
The co-main event produced fireworks as Vancouver’s Victor “El Tornado” Morales Jr. (19-0-1, 9 KOs) successfully defended his WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Title against Mexico City’s Edwin “Pupo” Palomares (18-5-2, 9 KOs) in a 10-round fight that went the distance.
