And when Farmer tripped over an advertisement on the ring apron in Round 2, Zepeda capitalized with a barrage of body shots mixed in with blows to the head, all of which had Farmer reeling with less than 40 seconds left in the second round. Farmer attempted to hold, yet Zepeda continued the onslaught.
Farmer made it out of the round, but as he returned to his corner he shook his left glove. DAZN’s ringside reporter, Claudia Trejos, would soon report that Farmer had injured his arm and his hand.
There were 10 rounds left. If Farmer was to make it through them, he would have to fight through that injury – and fight through everything Zepeda was doing, a considerable challenge for a healthy boxer, never mind one who wasn’t.
Farmer wasn’t healthy, but he was up for the challenge. He had to make it through some difficult stretches, though.
Through two rounds, CompuBox’s unofficial count had Zepeda landing 56 of 187 while Farmer was just 18 of 102. Farmer wasn’t going to be able to match Zepeda on volume, but he still laced in a good counter left hand at one moment in the third, and a solid right uppercut at another point.
Zepeda kept to the same strategy in the fourth round of overwhelming his now-compromised foe. He didn’t want to give Farmer the room to breathe or the time to rest. He remained dedicated to attacking Farmer’s core, hoping to take away Farmer’s movement and sap the steam on Farmer’s shots. Farmer wasn’t done yet. After landing a right hand below the belt, he further capitalized with an eye-catching combination that included a left uppercut. The two men exchanged punches before the bell.
