Last time Maxi Hughes fought in America, he was disappointed with the judges’ decision. However, he is back this Saturday to face the undefeated William Zepeda.
Hughes believes he has unfinished business and missed out on opportunities that went to George Kambosos instead. Despite waiting for a rematch, Kambosos is now preparing for a fight in Australia against Vasiliy Lomachenko.
This fight against Zepeda in Las Vegas is another underdog challenge for Hughes. Despite the tough road ahead, Hughes remains determined and driven.
Zepeda, with a record of 29-0 and 25 knockouts, presents a formidable challenge for Hughes. The southpaw stance and power of Zepeda make him a dangerous opponent.
At 34, Hughes has faced a variety of opponents and styles, showing impressive defensive skills. His lack of knockout power is offset by his refined boxing skills and confidence in the ring.
This fight serves as an eliminator for the WBA and IBF lightweight titles, showcasing a contrast in power between the two boxers. While Zepeda may have the edge in power, Hughes’ recent form suggests he is capable of handling strong opponents.
Despite the odds, Hughes remains focused on securing a victory and finally getting the recognition he deserves. However, in the unpredictable sport of boxing, the outcome is uncertain, with Zepeda likely to win by decision.
