Summary
William Zepeda just claimed the vacant WBC lightweight title with a masterclass in strategic boxing, outpacing Lamont Roach Jr. with precision, footwork, and counter-punching—proving he’s evolved far beyond his signature pressure style. By exploiting Roach’s right-handedness and southpaw stance, Zepeda controlled the rhythm, landed over 300 more punches, and dictated every round without chasing knockouts. His calculated, intelligent performance not only secured the win but vaulted him to 3 in The Ring’s rankings—a career-defining moment that redefines his legacy as a versatile, cerebral champion.
