Actually, I didn't think he go hit with any real bombs. His legs just fold up like a lawn chair every time something touches his chin. It's like the off button for his legs is on his chin and the pressure switch is light.

These two in the main even better not allow the fight to be close, these judges are freaking awful tonight. Somebody's career going to be ruined by these clowns.

Recovers very quickly every time though. A bit like Khan. :maybe:

Sad that it's a Zepeda fight. His fights are always razor close.

Yeah, Zepeda, low key, might be the hardest puncher at 140.

I think his power is his accuracy. Every punch he landed there was 100% on the money. He's got power, no doubt but it's putting that power right on the button that's a killer.

it's a shame zep's shoulder went so fast vs flanagan, never had the chance to show much of his stuff in that one

this is a guy who was up like 5-1 vs ramirez at one point, and has some chilling kos too, he's defo got serious ability but sometimes underperforms or goes through big lulls. tonight wasnt one of those nights!

Yeah, definitely precision, but I don't think anyone hits harder at the moment. Dude stopped a very tough Baranchyk in brutal fashion, so 100% no doubt has power.

For sure, he can't keep taking these fights. Pedrosa gave him a scare. He sometimes fights to the level of his opponent. Dude could've easily gotten the nod against Ramirze.

Knockout of the Year contender. Zepeda makes for really fun fights. I hope he and Taylor get to mix it up soon.

Red should’ve stopped the fight at the eight count. Vargas had no business going out there like that.

what do dudes think of darwin price? can he do anything at 140?

he stopped a 19-0 decent puerto rican tonight and has beat several other decent guys, but unfortunetly when schooling malik hawkins 4-0 he injured his leg and the fight was stopped

Zepeda is a spectacular operator. Provided a brutal beatdown on the Halloween. Match him against Prograis, it gotta be a helluva fight.

Twas a satisfying ko. Vargas begged for it. Felt sorry for his pops though.
