Promoter Oscar de la Hoya says he believes “The score is not here” The loss of his fighter William Zepeda’s 12-round unanimous decision-making last Saturday night was WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson (24-0, 11 KOS), which took place last Saturday night in Queens, New York. Delahoya still believes that Shakur fights well enough to deserve victory.
Why do scores feel like they fail?
Oscar noted that Zepeda (33-1, 27 KO) had better action in the first half of the battle, but Shakur then played in the second half. De la Hoya has no idea about how he fights.
Many fans think Zepeda did enough to win all the first six rounds. The judges fought the way they focused on headshots, ignoring Zepeda’s body and volume punch. This is the way judges train. Many of them listen completely to their bodies and only pay attention to their avatars.
“It’s a good fight. The score difference, but Shakur did his thing. The first half was Zepeda. The second half was Shakur. You have to give up on him.” Eddie Hearn said Battle CenterHe reacted to his warrior William Zepeda, losing to Shakur Stevenson last Saturday night.
“Back and back. It’s a great show. It’s back on the drawing board, but one loss has nothing. A really good fighter like Shakur doesn’t mean anything.
De La Hoya did not mention that Zepeda showed a flaw against Shakur similar to the one he showed in two razor battles with Tevin Farmer. Zepeda’s headshot suffered a lot of blowouts that cleaned and impressed the judge.
What are Zepeda’s combat flaws?
- Easy to hit avatar
- Focus too much on body punch: Judges won’t punch holes in their bodies like headshots. Unless the fighter is obviously injured, they tend to ignore the body punch.
- There isn’t enough power to shoot from the field: Zepeda’s powerful attacks aren’t enough to outperform the pleasing avatars of judges from fighters like Shakur and Farmer.
“He (Zepeda) threw more punches, but one thing about Shakur is his fists, they are very effective. So, it’s very useful for scoring. I think overall, it’s a good fight. It’s another great experience for Zepeda. It’s for you to grow and learn. That’s it.” That’s it. ”
Zepeda’s failure was close enough to Stevenson to reach his head with his punch. Many of the “El Camaron” Zepeda’s shots are short, as Shakur leans back most of the time. William could have solved this by approaching the problem before aiming at his head.
Another problem Zepeda faces is Shakur’s Holding. He didn’t struggle like other fighters, who were trained to deal with the people he held. Zepeda gently allows Stevenson to tie him up instead of fighting freely or hitting him when he is bound. He could have done both. This is a training problem for Zepeda.
