Undefeated knockout machine William “El Camarón” Zepeda (29-0, 25 KOs) and his opponent, former IBO beltholder Maxi “Maximus” Hughes (26-6-2, 5 KOs) hosted a press conference today in Las Vegas. They collide on Saturday in a 12-round IBF and WBA lightweight eliminator at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and broadcast around the world on DAZN.
William Zepeda: “When I was younger, kids around me would ask when will you fight in Vegas to make fun of me. Well, now I can answer them. I’m fighting in Vegas this Saturday. I know Maxi Hughes is a great opponent, and that’s why we’re fighting him. And I’m just thankful with my teammates, Carlos Duarte, my team, my father, all my people from Jiquipilco where I trained every single day for this fight. I want to thank Golden Boy, I want to thank Eric and thank everybody for being here. I am ready for everyone in the lightweight division!
Maxi Hughes: “So very happy to be here. I’m here because of merit. The IBF have ordered me and William to fight, so you know, both of us are here on merit. Because we are the best next people in mind going forward. You know, William, we’ve watched him, we know what he’s about. And we’ve shown him that respect in our preparation. My team down here have put the working day in, day out, and on Saturday night, we’ll get that win and be a step closer to a world title.”
Vamps zepeda you the future champppp!!!
Let’s shrimp!!!!!
Camaron is forced to win by ko
Winning by decision won’t help to what we expect from him
With lot of discipline in the training camp always going for an extra mile , camaron should be ready to ko inside 8 rounds
If so Oscar de la Hoya might get him a fight for a world title being Shakur stevenson his probably opponent in his next fight
If shrimp wins by decision i will be disappointed and his fight against Shakur or any other fight for a world title will have to wait longer
So let’s gooooooo shrimppppp let’s ko Hughes in 8 rounds
Yessssssss babyyyyyyyyy
I have been watching on YouTube some zepeda training clips and he has lots of stamina that combined with his very deep training plus his high volume punches it should be a bomb for this fight
All the punches in the whole fight of Shakur VS de los Santos are equal to the punches that zepeda throws in just one round not to mention his aim and accuracy while attacking
Zepeda it’s not a hard hitter his 25 ko out of 29 fights, coming from his relentless attack he just worn out his opponents slowly
Last thing:
Zepeda it’s not the boxer who makes too much drama in the press conference to sell the fight
He is humble and respectful and he sells his fights based on his quality on the ring not on his mouth
Carlos, you have all six comments as of right now. Slow down, dude.
I will I will killa
I was just so excited after watch the fight is this Saturday
To much coffee an monster juice Carlos. Your on a role! I agree that Camarón is more of an accumulation puncher than a one punch K.O fighter. He reminds me a young pre-Poison Jones Barrera from a different stance.
I’m going to the fight. I wonder if Carlos will be there?
No… unfortunetly no
But I might go to the fight if he fights shakur
But I don’t know …. I enjoy more watching the fights on tv than watching the fights in live
In live you just see the people stand up and because one boxer was knock out and did not even the see how or what happened
On tv you see the replay 4 times and you eat and drink what you want
In live you don’t want to go for another beer or to the bathroom because there lot of people in your way there
By the time you go for another beer the fight is done
But if shakur and Zepeda heats up yea most likely I will be there
If Zepeda loses, this Carlos and all Mexico would come with a truck load of excuses, that is one thing Mexicans and The British have in common, their ability to find excuses.
I don’t see any excuses because you know the excuses before the fights and I don’t see nothing here so it’s just matter of time and see if camaron capitalizes this opportunity with a ko
And he has to ko in order to impressed
I can’t believe that people get worked up at Shakur vs anybody.
I wish the dude meant it when he said he’s retired.
Wonder what would happen if Kambosos were fighting Zepeda?
The great judges of his fight vs Hughes had him winning.
If Kambosos is the big winner, he should be fighting Zepeda.
Hughes at least gets an eliminator fight vs a top lightweight.
I rate Zepeda highly and think he goes through Hughes without too much fuss.
Hughes is being rewarded for the bad decision against K-7 (can’t spell his name) How else would he be in a elimination fight coming off of a loss?
Because Hughes was robbed against kambosos and kambosos goes vs lomachenko
