Zepeda Redeems Himself as New Lightweight Champ | Boxing News
Description
William Zepeda shocks the boxing world by capturing the vacant WBC lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Lamont Roach, proving redemption is possible after last year’s crushing loss to Shakur Stevenson. The Mexican southpaw dominated every round with relentless pressure, high-volume punching, and smart footwork, building a commanding lead that judges reflected with scores of 117-111 and 118-110. Roach, a resilient fighter who had drawn with Gervonta Davis, admitted Zepeda was “one step ahead,” as Zepeda’s tactical precision and adaptability wore down his opponent. This victory isn’t just a title win—it’s a statement: Zepeda has evolved into a complete champion ready to rule the division.
