Fixed one of the weirder scheduling conflicts on the horizon. Golden Boy announced today that the previously revealed matchup between JoJo Diaz and William Zepeda has been moved from November 5 to October 29 at San Diego’s Pechanga Arena.
This leaves him and the other DAZN show on November 5, Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo RamÃrez, alone in their respective spotlights.
The good thing too, because Diaz (32-2-1, 15 KO) vs. Zepeda (26-0, 23 KO) is a quality fight from both a ranking and entertainment point of view.
Diaz could use a solid win after last December’s loss to Devin Haney, while Zepeda has some questions to answer after a tougher-than-expected war with Rene Alvarado in May.
That said, the change throws another wrench into Golden Boy’s plans: Jaime Munguia vs. TBA was supposed to headline this show.
My guess is that the various incompetents running Munguia’s career have yet to find an opponent or put something together for a matchup so disappointing they couldn’t justify making it the main event.
