Castaneda (17-1, 8 KO), 26, enjoyed a fairly standard prospect rise before working his way to a prospect clash with Yomar Alamo this past February. Castaneda started strong, but ultimately faded down the stretch en route to a majority decision loss. While it’s admirable to see him take such a stiff test after his first career setback, especially without a title on the line, he’s a far cry from Baranchyk in terms of hype.
Especially since cardio issues are the last things you want against Zepeda (31-2, 25 KO), who’s historically at his most vulnerable in the later rounds.
Vences (23-1-1, 12 KO) will look to make it two straight since losing his own “someone’s 0 has got to go” match with Albert Bell. Lopez (20-2, 11 KO) lost to Ruben Villa in May 2019 on ShoBox, but has won three straight, including a stoppage of previously unbeaten Cristian Baez on Dec. 14 in Mexicali.
