Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis Drops, Decisions Danielito Zorrilla in Hometown Defense

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Regis Prograis returned home to a hero's welcome. He left with his title barely--but still--intact. The two-time and reigning WBC junior welterweight titlist turned away a crafty challenge from late replacement opponent Danielito Zorrilla in his first title defense. Judge Craig Metcalfe (114-113) ruled for the visiting Puerto Rican, overruled by judges Robert Tapper (118-109) and Josef Mason (117-110) as Prograis claimed a split decision win in their DAZN-aired main event Saturday from Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) became the 140-pound world champion by knocking out Jose Zepeda in 11 rounds at Dignity Health in California last November.

Let’s gooo before the bell action kicking off in like 10 minutes

[edpboxing]

3 fights on the BFB portion. Aponte vs Madrid should be pretty good

Criztec Bazaldua Vs Elroy fruto up first

[edpboxing]

Can tell Fruto is tough, but he’s out of his depths here

[edpboxing]

Fruto makes him work, but should be 4-0 UD for Bazaluda. Only 18, and apparently he’s one of Ortiz Jr’s sparring partners.

Definitely has potential. Keep him active

[edpboxing]

Aponte-Madrid walking out now.

[Brother Mouzone]

Just tuned in

[edpboxing]

Aponte hasn’t really improved much from the first time I saw him to now

[edpboxing]

Point deducted from Aponte for low blow. No warnings. Could play a factor in the decision
