Former IBF super featherweight world champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz, Jr. (32-2-1, 15 KOs) and undefeated, rising lightweight division star William “El Camarón” Zepeda (26-0, 23 KOs) faced off at the final press conference for their DAZN clash on Saturday night at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego.
Jojo Diaz: “Zepeda is a young, hungry, and tough fighter, but I’m hoping that it will bring the best out of me on Saturday. He looks great on paper, but I’ve been there, done that, and my experience speaks for itself…there is an A-side and B-side. I’m the A-side.”
William Zepeda: “There is no A-side or B-side. This is a fight for the fans…these are the types of opponents that bring out the best fights and show that we belong.”
Zepeda has a record built on unknown fighters and fighters with losing records. Other than a shop worn Rene Alvarado with 11 losses, there are no recognizable names. Diaz shouldn’t have too much of a problem winning a decision… looks like a stay- busy fight while he waits for one of the top guys at 135. Assuming he wins, maybe Kambosos? Can’t see Diaz beating any of the other top lightweights.
Easy win for Zepeda. Jo Jo doesn’t really bring anything.
Interesting fight..
