William Zepeda is the top lightweight in boxing, at least in the view of former two-division world champion Tim Bradley. Following Zepeda’s unanimous decision victory over Lamont Roach, Bradley ranked the WBC champion No. 1 at 135 pounds ahead of every other active contender. Gervonta Davis was left out of Bradley’s rankings because of his inactivity, while Shakur Stevenson no longer qualified after moving to 140 pounds. That leaves Zepeda at No. 1, followed by Abdullah Mason, Andy Cruz and Sam Noakes. “I feel like Zepeda is the number one guy right now at 135 pounds. You take Tank off…

Adames and Zachenhuber approached Sheeraz in different ways, yet both achieved success by applying constant pressure. Neither man spent much time backing away. Both absorbed punches to close the distance, forcing exchanges while keeping Sheeraz from settling behind his long jab. Instead of controlling the pace with his size and reach, Sheeraz spent long stretches reacting. That presents a major concern at 168 pounds because the division contains numerous fighters who thrive under those exact conditions. Christian Mbilli relentlessly marches forward. Kevin Lele Sadjo brings constant pressure. Jaime Munguia keeps throwing punches until opponents break. Lester Martinez keeps pressing forward…
