Former WBA light welterweight champion Regis Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) completely dominated the #1 ranked WBC contender Jose Zepeda (35-3, 27 KOs) to stop him in the 11th round to capture the vacant WBC 140-lb title on Saturday night at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
After a slow week in boxing, fans of the sweet science will have plenty to sink their teeth into this Saturday.
Regis Prograis (27-1, 23 KOs) weighed in at 139lbs, and Jose Zepeda (35-2, 27 KOs) came in at 139.4 lbs during Friday’s weigh-in for their battle for the recently vacated WBA light welterweight title at the Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, California, U.S.
In stark contrast to last weekend’s boxing schedule, this weekend’s stack of fights is massive. Indeed, even for the most hardened of hard-core fight fans, it will be a tough job absorbing all the action.
