I'm not even gonna call Williams a paid a prospect anymore is on the cusp of 30 wins And he continues to beat quality opposition this time it was mercito Hesta who lasted all of five-plus rounds before Zepeda eventually stopped him He stopped him the same way that he stopped Hector Tanahara that he overwhelmed guys like Renee Alvarado and Joe Joe Diaz just an unbelievable Volume of punches is one of them the most prolific punchers in Boxing today against Hesta who like has to come up short in his most recent world title challenges But he was coming off a legitimate win over Joe Joe Diaz He had quality trainers in his corner led by Marvin Simodio and uh, he was just taken out, you know, five-plus rounds That was it for Mercito Hesta, so let's start there Your overall thoughts on Williams a paid his performance last Saturday I mean, he is just such an overwhelming volume puncher I think that he's taking volume punching almost to another level, you know I don't want to say that he's The busiest fighter that I've ever seen but he's right up there with the types of guys who have broken CompuBox numbers in the past, you know, super super volume punchers guys like Zach Padilla and you know Ray Olivera guys like that who throw like a hundred and twenty per round Manuel Medina He's taking it to another level and he's doing it on a high level, too You know, he's not just kind of like a Jesus Soto Karas type who is an extreme volume puncher But seems to have a ceiling we don't really know what Cepeda ceiling is right now But I think you were right in saying that he's no longer a prospect anymore This is a legitimate lightweight contender And in fact when you look at what Cepeda has accomplished right now the types of guys that he's beaten He doesn't have the resume of the big names that he's chasing right now He doesn't have the resume of you know, obviously a Tank Davis or a Devin Haney Guys like that, but the guys that he's in and around when you look at the the ring ratings, you know Say, you know an Isaac Cruz or a Frank Martin His resume is right there with him and the way that he's doing it is even more Definitive than the way that those types of guys have beaten their opposition on the way up So I mean stylistically he's gonna be a nightmare for absolutely anybody It's not gonna be an easy night for anyone even if you think that the bigger names wind up beating him and you know That that may very well be it's not gonna be easy He's going to demand something of you physically that no one in that division is going to ask of you And that's gonna make for compelling television.
