In a lightweight contest that concluded earlier today, WBO number one contender and Mexican power puncher William Zepeda (31-0, 27 KOs) secured a crucial win by knocking out American boxer Gabriel Caballero (22-2, 7 KOs) in the third round.
The fight took place at the Toyota Center in Ontario, USA, serving as the main event of the DAZN-televised card. In the first round, Caballero put up a decent showing, momentarily gaining the upper hand in exchanges. However, Zepeda ramped up his combination punching in the second round, landing more effectively with his heavy shots, forcing Caballero on the retreat. In the third round, with both fighters trading in the center of the ring, Zepeda delivered a devastating body shot that ended the fight. The time of the stoppage was 1 minute and 58 seconds into the round.
With this victory, the 28-year-old William Zepeda’s professional record improves to 31 wins, with 27 of those coming by way of knockout. He is now ranked third by BOXREC in the 135-pound division, trailing only Gervonta Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) and Shakur Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs). Standing at 5’9″ with a reach of 5’9″, as long as Zepeda continues his winning streak, a world title challenge is imminent.
