Zepeda epic war with Baranchyk: FOTY, KOOTY, ROTY!!!!!! Instant Classic!

[Thuglife Nelo]

Canelo is unknown outside of Mexico.

Canelo sold out MSG in his first NYC appearance. NY is mostly Ecuadorians, Puerto Rican, Dominican. It’s not a Mexican state

How many tickets did Fury sell with his MSG appearance against Cunningham?

I bet you $100 that Taylor doesn't fight Zepeda next. Deal?

Not next, but if or when they do fight, that UK bum will be battered and exposed. That's my take.

[TheMyspaceDayz]

It had action, but for me it wasnt a legendary type fight (as some of you are acting like) because it wasn't really fought at that high of a level.

Both guys showed average skill, bad defense, and decent chins. It's definitely not FOTY.

Round two might get a nomination for ROTY but aside from the KDs, it was pretty pedestrian, so that's a no from me there too.

Maybe a KOTY candidate- Zepeda absolutely clocked Baranchyk- but to me Povetkin is still the leader in the clubhouse for that.

Props to both men for a helluva show in any case.

Baranchyk felt that Zepeda wouldn’t be able to handle a fast pace so he floored the pedal and never let up. When someone does this then you’re going to see awkwardness and obvious mistakes like you would in a game of speed chess. Sorry if it wasn’t the ballet you would have preferred.

Zepeda dominated after the first. The guy is a great technician. Does anyone know which side Freddie Roach was on? They were both Freddie fighter’s last I checked.

This fight with a crowd would’ve been insane.

Never seen a fight with so many KD’s and neither guy being seriously hurt...until the end anyway.

Baranchyk looked like he had no clue how to fight a southpaw. He was jumping in with his head right in the middle and kept getting into awkward positions. His balance was awful.

Not much craft on display all around actually. A barn burner for sure, but neither guy looked good.

It was like two Marquez’s.

You use the word “dominated” loosely. Just letting ya know.

Nope. I watched it just now. You should maybe rewatch it. A fight is always different live. Zepeda dominated him after 1, outside of the odd punch/kd, Baranchyk was having no success and being picked apart. I was actually surprised when in the final rd Baranchyk managed another kd, because Zepeda was so in control, I thought the excitement in here was due to a comeback win.

[Mammoth]

That was pretty ridiculous. Lol best fight either guy will ever be in.

[JakeTheBoxer]

That guys need each other like Ward and Gatti. They should rest now for about 6 -7 months and make a rematch than.

100% agree with this.
