On The Watch “It’s All About Lamont Roach Jr. vs William Zepeda”

Vacant WBC Lightweight Championship

Last night’s Golden Boy/DAZN Main Event at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, between Lamont Roach (25-2-3, 10 Kos) and William Zepeda (34-1, 27 Kos) was a very interesting bout where Zepeda, who hadn’t graced the squared circle since accepting a conclusive loss to Shakur Stevenson in July 2025, showed up this time around with an adjusted “game plan” that showed much improvement.

As for Roach, fresh off two controversial draws against two heavy-fisted punchers in Gervonta Davis and Isaac Cruz, approached this bout with the wrong “game plan” and paid a hefty price for it.

Everyone who’s been inside that squared circle with Zepeda knows exactly what he brings on fight night. Nonstop calculated pressure at a smothering pace with punches coming from all angles but this time, with the added footwork and an elevated boxing IQ that was just enough to disrupt Roach from ever settling in and using his counter punching styles that he was well known for.

As the rounds progressed, Roach found himself on the receiving end and getting broken down beaten to the punch from every corner with absolutely nothing to deter Zepeda from outworking him.

It was a beautiful display of boxing by Zepeda who kept his foot on Roach’s neck by never letting him breathe long enough at any point throughout the bout.

That being said, after 12 full one-sided rounds of action, the Judges at hand scored it 118-110, 117-111 and 117-111 unanimously for William Zepeda.

With this very convincing win now under his belt, Zepeda picked up the vacant WBC Lightweight Title crowning him the New WBC Lightweight Champion of the world.

Well done, Champ, you’ve earned this one the right way!

On The Watch “It’s All About Edgar Berlanga vs Steven Butler”

Super Middleweight Showdown

last night’s Zuffa Boxing Main Event at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City, was an intriguing one where New York’s very own Edgar Berlanga (24-2, 19 Kos) had to step his game up in a serious manner when he took on our own Canadian Steven Butler (38-6-1, 32 Kos) inside that squared circle.

Edgar walked inside that squared circle thinking Steven was easy work but quickly found out after feeling Steven’s power and getting dropped in round two, that he needed to assert himself and not let Steven build some confidence after forcing him to the canvas.

That being said, Edgar strayed away from the original “game plan” and proceeded to “Bang” with the “Banger” and throw all caution out the ring as both combatants went at it throwing heavy leather at each other looking for that edge as the rounds progressed.

The action these two warriors fought with definitely brought the fans in attendance to their feet. This risk-taking style of fighting worked best for Edgar who rocked Steven so hard with a heavy left hook that had him moonwalking around the ring on weak legs, but the Kid showed heart by refusing to go down.

Steven surprisingly fought back and had some moments inside that squared circle but eventually succumbed to Edgar who let off a barrage of damaging left hooks that had Steven out on his feet in the seventh round which prompted the referee to aggressively jump in and stop the bout.

This was a much-needed victory for Berlanga. In order to show his value in the Super Middleweight Division, he needed to remind his peers and last night he did just that.

Well done!

On The Watch “It’s All About Errol Spence Jr. vs Tim Tszyu”

Middleweight Showdown

In last night’s TGB Promotions/No Limit Boxing Main Event we witnessed the return of former welterweight Champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (28-2, 22 Kos) grace the inside of that squared circle after a three-year layoff to challenge Tim “Phoenix” Tszyu (29-3, 18 Kos) at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia.

Errol came out the gate aggressive trying to impose himself on Tim but quickly found out within the first 4 rounds that the Middleweight Division and Tim aren’t as sweet as he thought.  Tim stayed patient in the opening rounds standing his ground while applying pressure that Errol surprisingly couldn’t negate.

As the rounds progressed, it became clear that Errol’s balance and power were a non-factor and he looked out of place trying to fight on his back foot attempting to deter Tim from having his way with him.

Tim was outworking Errol while walking him down round by round. Tim stayed consistent with his pressure and put a good beating on Errol who simply looked defeated and on survival mode throughout the remainder of the bout.

Tim’s size and power were key factors last night and after 12 rounds of one-sided action, the Judges at hand scored it 118-110, 117-111 and 117-111, unanimously for Tim Tszyu.

This was a great win for Tim but a very tough loss for Errol who eventually announced his retirement from boxing after the decision was announced.
