Prograis vs. Zorrilla Betting Analysis
Regis Prograis
Prograis is a world title holder in one of the deepest divisions in boxing. He has a professional record of 28-1 with an impressive 24 KOs under his belt. His only loss has been to Josh Taylor, when he lost his WBA title.
The 34-year-old Southpaw might be running out of time in his world championship-level run because of his age. But power is the last thing to leave a fighter and he still has some great skills from that tricky southpaw stance. Prograis will be the slightly smaller fighter in the ring on Saturday night.
Danielito Zorrilla
Zorrilla is a tough, skilled Cuban fighter that has been training boxing his whole life. His career has led up to this world title shot, and he will give everything he has on Saturday night. Which is honestly his biggest weapon against Prograis. Does Prograis want this belt more than Zorrilla?
With being the B-side of this matchup, Zorrilla will need to put on the performance of a lifetime to get his hand raised this weekend. He comes in at 17-1 with 13 KOs in his professional career. The Cuban will have a 6-inch reach advantage over Prograis and will need to use that to be successful.
Key Injuries
No injuries have been reported to Matchroom Boxing or the WBC.

The multiple-time world title holder is coming in at age 34, but he hasn’t showed too many signs of slowing down yet. Assuming he will be in great shape, which is what Prograis has shown on social media and the leadup content of this weekend’s event, the advantage points in his direction.
Zorrilla is +1200 to finish Prograis, which might be the only way he wins this fight. For him to win a decision, it’s +2000. Along with these underdog odds, you can get Prograis finishing this fight at -380, and +500 to win a decision.
The most intriguing betting line this week has to be the prop bet for this fight going to the scorecards at +420. Those are massive underdog odds just for this fight to last all 12 rounds, which most championship fights do at this weight division.
Prograis vs. Zorrilla Betting Prediction
