Lamont Roach is gunning for glory this Saturday as he steps into the ring to challenge William Zepeda for a vacant lightweight title — despite only 10 knockouts in 29 fights, Roach believes his volume and power can overwhelm Zepeda’s chin over 12 rounds. Zepeda, ranked third, is coming off a shaky loss to Shakur Stevenson and is eager to rebound, but Roach sees openings in his wild, predictable style. With two straight 12-round draws under his belt, Roach is determined to avoid another stalemate and prove his power can carry him to victory — whether by decision or knockout. The main event kicks off at 8 PM ET on TNT in the U.S. and DAZN internationally, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown that could reshape the lightweight division.
