William Zepeda is eyeing a potential fight against the WBC lightweight champion, Shakur Stevenson, in February if he successfully defeats Joe Cordina. Zepeda, with an impressive record of 31-0 and 27 KOs, poses as the toughest test yet for Stevenson in his boxing career. This fight will serve as a preparation for a potential mega-fight against WBA champion Gervonta Davis in the summer of 2025.
For scouting purposes, Zepeda is considering traveling to Saudi Arabia to watch Stevenson’s fight against Cordina firsthand at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. However, it is suggested that Zepeda may gain more insight by watching Stevenson’s previous fight against Edwin De Los Santos on YouTube. It is believed that Stevenson may not showcase his full potential against Cordina, who is perceived as a lesser threat due to his recent knockout loss and lack of offensive ability.
Zepeda’s strategy against a mover like Stevenson was evident in his fight against Giovanni Cabrera. Despite Cabrera’s initial success in landing punches and moving around the ring, Zepeda was able to cut off the ring, land body shots, and ultimately overwhelm his opponent. This adaptability and ability to break down opponents could pose a significant challenge for Stevenson in their potential future showdown.
With Zepeda’s impressive track record and fighting style, a matchup against Stevenson promises to be an exciting and competitive encounter. Zepeda’s willingness to travel and scout his potential opponent demonstrates his dedication and strategic approach to the sport. As the boxing world eagerly anticipates this potential clash, both fighters will need to be at the top of their game to secure victory and move closer to their ultimate goals in the sport.
