Farmer makes a medical confession

Former 130-pound champion Tevin Farmer tweeted this on Monday:  "I’ve kept this private for a long time but I see the concern and speculation about my tick. I have Tourette’s Syndrome. I’ve dealt with it all my life. No neurological issues, so no need to worry. I’m still out here putting belt to a**! There you go, the rabbit’s out of the hat." As for Saturday's loss to WBC interim lightweight title holder William Zepeda in Mexico, Farmer said, "hell of a fight Saturday. Zepeda did not beat me. The judges did. It’s crazy to say, but I’m kinda use to it." That was Farmer's second straight highly competitive loss to Zepeda, this one coming via majority decision.
