🏆 WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
🇺🇸 #1 Regis Prograis (28-1) 🏆 @regisprograis
🇵🇷 #25 Danielito Zorrilla (17-1) @elzorrodanielitozorrilla
Prograis started the bout on the front foot, using head feints and looked to find the precise moment to land the left overhand. However, Zorrilla managed the aggression well and was effective with right-handed jabs, one in particular sent Regis down but the referee waved it as a push.
Both men boxed patiently and cautiously but Regis pulls out a sniper-like left hand which sent him down onto the canvas in Round 3, quickly changing the course of momentum.
Nevertheless, Zorrilla responded well, managing a sizeable distance and demonstrated pin point accuracy on the back foot in the following round. Prograis’s ring generalship was strong but he was nowhere near active enough. Granted he looked sharp and showed his technical skill set at points, but he hardly landed anything in the first half other than the KD.
The fans became restless but from Zorrillas point of view, this is the exact strategy he wanted to execute. The rounds were minimal, difficult to score and Prograis definitely missed opportunities, landing just a singular body shot in the 7th.
Zorro upped the intensity in the 8th, taking more risks and Prograis struggled to break the distance. The champ managed to connect with a couple of efforts in the 9th as Danielito went toe-to-toe for a brief moment, but there was a distinct lack of urgency from both sides.
It was far from pretty to watch, but Zorrilla’s game plan on four weeks' notice was virtous. He kept things difficult on the outside, finding precise counters when required and kept the distance at large, prioritising not getting hit.
Zorrilla finished strongly but in the end Prograis stumbled over the line to retain his title. He has the judges to thank on this one, my cards were dead even but he could have easily been on the end of a shock upset.
An underwhelming performance from him and Zorrilla should be proud of his efforts on such short notice, very unlucky to not be going home champion in my opinion.
Fight - 3
Prograis - 5
Zorrilla - 6.5
