Lamont Roach Jr vs William Zepeda Live Results: 'El Camaron' Dominates to Win WBC Title

William Zepeda can finally call himself the WBC lightweight world champion.

One year after his unsuccessful title challenge against Shakur Stevenson, Zepeda returned to compete for the same belt he failed to secure in his first professional loss. The Mexican once again found himself as the underdog to Lamont Roach Jr., but the 30-year-old completed his redemption arc with as resounding a win as possible.

Now back in the win column, Zepeda reaches the top of the hill while improving to 34-1 in his professional career. 'El Camaron' looked refreshed and like a brand new fighter after his year away from the ring.

William Zepeda puts on masterclass against Lamont Roach Jr.

Everybody in the arena new that Zepeda would get off to a strong start against Roach. The Mexican only fights at one speed, and Roach tends to take his time kicking into second gear while he gauges the range and timing of his opponent.

However, many expected Roach to download the data and slowly build his way back into the fight, as he did in his most recent outing against Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz. Instead, 'The Reaper' never got a chance to get a proper read on Zepeda, who remained in his face the entire fight and would not stop throwing punches.

By the end of the fight, Zepeda out-threw Roach 884-591 and outlanded him 218-153, according to Compubox. Roach had his moments, but Zepeda was never deterred and broke Roach down piece by piece.

Zepeda held back tears as he received the belt and took the microphone after his victory. He dedicated the victory to his country as he becomes the next great Mexican fighter in the long lineage of Hispanic boxing.

Roach, who falls to 25-2-3 with the loss, remained classy in defeat, giving all the credit to Zepeda. Roach admitted that Zepeda was "just one step ahead" of him the entire fight and thanked his loyal fan base who packed The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada and voiced their support all night.

Raymond Muratalla shuts out Robson Conceicao

The main event was expected to be close, but everyone expected Raymond Muratalla to dominate in the co-main event. The 29-year-old did exactly that in his second IBF title defense against former super featherweight champion Robson Conceicao.

Muratalla was unable to hurt Conceicao, who has never been stopped in his 27-fight career, but he never lost control for a second.

Muratalla said after the fight that the performance was "not his best" due to a rough weight cut. 'Danger' claimed the fight was his last at lightweight and called out "any of the champions" at 140 pounds.
