William Zepeda lived up to his reputation on the Gilberto Ramirez-Sullivan Barrera card Friday in Los Angeles..

The Mexican volume puncher pounded game, but overmatched Hector Tanajara Jr. relentlessly before finally forcing Tanajara’s corner to stop the one-sided fight after the sixth round.

The lightweight bout was scheduled for 10 rounds.

Tanajara (19-1, 5 KOs) tried to use his boxing ability to keep Zepeda (23-0, 21 KOs) at a safe distance but succeeded only occasionally. The vast majority of the time Zepeda simply didn’t give Tanajara room to breathe, ripping shots to both head and body nonstop.

The loser was remarkably resilient given the number of punches he took but he couldn’t deliver enough of his own to make the fight competitive, which obviously played a role in trainer Robert Garcia’s decision to stop the fight.

The CompuBox stats help tell the story. Zepeda threw 570 punches in six rounds, 95 per round. He connected on 188. Tanajara landed 78 of 263 total punches.
