Zepeda defeated Roach by unanimous decision earlier this month to capture the vacant WBC lightweight title. Bernie expected that pace to present problems. He felt Roach needed to counter between combinations and use his jab to slow down the Mexican pressure fighter. Roach never found a consistent answer. Davis gave Zepeda…
