It was an interesting weigh-in ceremony for Golden Boy Promotions, as they will be hosting a card live on DAZN from Cancun, Mexico, tomorrow night.
The main event was made official when WBC interim lightweight champion William Zepeda (32-0, 27 KOs) and challenger Tevin Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KOs) hit the scales and weighed in under and at the lightweight division limit of 135 pounds. The drama was earlier when Marlen Esparza (15-2, 1 KO) came in overweight (1.4 pounds over) for her fight flyweight fight against Yokasta Valle (32-3, 10 KOs). It’s the third time in a row that Esparza has come overweight, and there has to be a thought that either she has to move up in weight or retire from the sport, which she has mentioned in years past. The fight will move forward as something was negotiated, but how this will affect Esparza tomorrow night will be the question leading up to their fight.
Per DraftKings SportsBook, William Zepeda is the favorite at -900, and Tevin Farmer is the underdog at +550.
William Zepeda: TKO/KO -115; Decision +140
Draw: +1800
Tevin Farmer: TKO/KO +1800; Decision +800
These timings could change due to the length of the undercard fights.
