It\u2019s a huge step up in class for the 22-year-old Schofield, who has fought no one near the level of Farmer.<\/p>\n<p>Farmer-Schofield will be fighting on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"DAZN\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/go\/dazn-3\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">DAZN PPV<\/a> this Saturday on the Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. event. It begins at 8:00 PM ET \/ 5:00 PM PT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Farmer Predicts Schofield Loss: Outclassed in Ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s young and up and coming. So, I expect him to come out and try to hurt me and do what Zepeda couldn\u2019t do,\u201d said Farmer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WruAjkLijyY&amp;t=1233s&amp;ab_channel=GoldenBoyBoxing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Showdown at Golden Boy Boxing<\/a>, talking about his fight against Schofield.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield is a power puncher. So, he\u2019s definitely going to be looking for a knockout early against Farmer, because that\u2019s his best path to victory. Boxing won\u2019t work. Farmer has too much talent in that area for Schofield to win a decision, and it could be one-sided if he tries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to lose and definitely get outclassed. I think people underestimate my strength. I know they know what they\u2019re up against.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Golden Boy Promotions are throwing the 22-year-old Schofield into the deep end by matching him against Farmer. They saw how Tevin came close to beating their fighter, William Zepeda, in their two fights. On the bright side. Schofield will get some good experience from this fight. So, even if he loses by a wide decision to Farmer, he\u2019ll gain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tevin\u2019s Dominance: Zepeda Fight Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to bring his A-game because I just fought 22 rounds with a guy [William Zepeda] that throws over 100 punches [per round]. In the later rounds, I was the dominant one. So, you know I\u2019m going to be in tip-top. This is what I bring. My IQ is at the highest level. I\u2019m strong,\u201d said Farmer.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield isn\u2019t going to be able to average 100+ punches thrown per round like Zepeda was doing against Farmer. But he does have excellent power, and might be able to hurt him at some point if he goes after him early when he\u2019s at his best.<\/p>\n<p>Schofield is at his best early, and he tends to lose power on his shots in the second half. If Floyd can\u2019t knock out Farmer or build a wide lead in the first five rounds, he\u2019ll wind up losing because Tevin will come on strong during the last half.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1751016729_903_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb Farmer Declares Schofield \u2018Outclassed\u2019 Before They Even Touch Gloves<\/p>\n<p>Last Updated on 06\/27\/2025 \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tevin Farmer says the inexperienced Floyd Schofield is going to be outclassed on Saturday when he faces the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-218258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114754639925722430","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
