    So these guys have maybe 30 hours to add weight before fight, which always is advantage for one or the other! I personally wish they would go back to same day weighin.

      Amen to that. I think we'd see a lot fewer weight bullies and people would be fighting closer to their walking weight, which IMO would be to the benefit of the sport. I wonder what would happen if they had a weigh in before the ring walk, and the fighters got penalized by 1% of their purse for every pound they're over the weight limit. But that's about as likely as judges having to justify their cards in the post fight interviews and otherwise being held accountable.

        Let's face it, and not to hate on Farmer, but if Zapeda doesn't clearly beat him this time, what chances does he have against Shakur?

          Zepeda would give Stevenson all he can handle. And Farmer looks a lot better 135 just like Roach does at 135.

            Theres a reason Zepeda is #1 in every org yet in the midst of a back to back with 2025 TEVIN FARMER. His team knows what he is. His only hope is a Loma retirement and fighting a flawed guy for a vacant belt.

              Being ranked in all orgs and still not many calling him out , so ???
              He showed some flaws in their first fight but I’m thinking he underestimated Farmer

                Why won't Willie Zepeda step up and fight Shakur? He's been Shakur's WBC mandatory for over a year.

                  Zepeda has been Shakur's WBC mandatory for over a year. Why is he fighting Farmer twice and ducking Shakur?

                    Thank you. I thought I was the only one who sees this.
