farmers defense didnt look that hot to me, massively outlanded, especially with the body shots. at times farmer ripped with 4, 5, of them a row

although if you count clinches as punches too then maybe it was closer

Looked close to me and plenty other folk by all accounts, I couldn't make a case for Farmer winning, reckon 116-112 Zepeda is ok, as for punch stats, just a fella pushing buttons, I take no notice of them unless I can use them to bolster my own argument, Zepeda did have some good moments I'm no disputing that but I you score round by round

i didnt even see the compubox numbers during the fight, though looking at them now they seem about right. farmer just had spots of offense between zepeda mauling him as he stumbled around and tried to hold. take away zepada's body shots and maybe then it's close

tbh i think even 5 rounds for farmer is quite generous, but we all see things different ways of course
