William Zepeda will face a challenge against "matser boxer" Shakur Stevenson, believes Sergio Mora, who suggests that nobody "looks good" against the American.
The Mexican scored a second victory over Tevin Farmer in Cancun on Saturday night, improving on the result of his original encounter with a win by majority decision.

The result saw Zepeda retain his WBC interim lightweight crown and keeps him on track to challenge full belt holder Stevenson at some point down the line this year.
Speaking on DAZN 's broadcast however, Mora suggested that Zepeda would need to be at the peak of his powers if he is to convince in the ring against the champion.
"I don't think anyone looks good against Shakur Stevenson," he said when asked "That's how brilliant he is. He's a master boxer, another southpaw, quick on his feet.
"He has that Olympic pedigree, he's a two-division champion. He has everything you don't want to face in a fighter. It could be a headache, but Zepeda wants that smoke."
Farmer impressed again in another defeat, with the former IBF super featherweight champion proving to be a resilient opponent even as he fell short of victory once again.
Mora believes he could be an attractive option to several contenders looking to cement their status, adding: "Any of [the division's] other fighters need a champion on their resume.
"I wouldn't mind Tevin Farmer fighting in another category but he deserves another opportunity and another primetime slot on television."
