Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda prediction
Although many within the boxing trade expect a tough night for Stevenson, Zepeda's relentless style could play into his hands.
Two less than impressive outings against Farmer have hurt Zepeda's stock heading into this fight, and Stevenson may expose more weaknesses.
If safe, Stevenson can see this out on the scorecards, but if he can make Zepeda exert himself early then he can force a late stoppage against a tired opponent.

Stevenson vs Zepeda - What's been said?
Shakur Stevenson
" I’m coming in to beat his —. He’s gonna come be tough and strong. But I’m coming to whoop his a—. I stand by that. I’m f—ing him up.”
"When you have a fighter that has mastered their own style, they are always the most dangerous fighter. Zepeda has mastered his style, he understands his style and what he is coming to do.
"But come this fight, they don't know what I'm coming to do. I've got different things to my game, I've got 100 different things I can do to him. He won't know what is going to be happening to him.
"People that think I just run, that is the wrong logic of me. I'm a fighter and I will fight."
William Zepeda
"I'm hungry, I'm ready and I will win. So many people just see what happens on fight night, they do not see the sacrifice I put in in training, the heart I have, the will I have.
"It all drives me. I have the skills, we have the plan to win."
Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda form and history
Both men enter this contest with unbeaten records to their name, but arguably Stevenson has more to prove at this point as the incumbent champion.
The star faced late call-up Josh Padley in February with a ninth-round TKO, but the Briton's heart made it tough going still for an earlier finish by the American.
Zepeda conversely is looking to pick up the pace after two points wins over Farmer, having won both in tight contests by split decision and majority decision.
