Let’s check the latest Boxing odds, stats, and Boxing lines for Prograis vs Zepeda. We’ve plenty of Boxing betting odds for you to consider.
Prograis Making Progress
Prograis was defeated by Josh Taylor in 2019, but we admire how he bounced back with three straight victories.
Juan Heraldez was beaten in the third round, and Ivan Redkach and Tyrone McKenna were eliminated in the fifth and sixth rounds, respectively.
Because of this, he is the clear sportsbook favorite to win the vacant WBC super lightweight title against Zepeda, who is the +300 underdog.
If he wins on Saturday, he will gain the respect he seeks.
“I’m in boxing not just to make money, but I want to be number one,” Prograis said. “That’s my main thing, to be number one in the world, be a champion, and to say I’m a world champion. They say a champion will always be a champion, but when people introduce me, it’s as a former champion.
“So when I get introduced, I want them to say, he is the champion. That’s one of the biggest things that I miss.”
Zepeda Letting Hands do the Talking
There have been plenty of distractions for Zepeda approaching the fight, including being cited for battery in a car crash.
However, he’s a talented fighter who recently defeated respected up-and-coming boxer, Jose Vargas, by a first-round knockout. Vargas was 19-1.
The threat Prograis faces this weekend stems from the 33-year-old’s ability to land knockout blows. He also defeated Ivan Baranchyk, a 20-1 boxer, in 2020, which is a good form guide and it demands respect from betting online markets.
His most recent loss came in 2019 when losing to 23-0 Jose Carlos Ramirez. He only narrowly lost after one judge ruled a draw and the other judges had it 116-112, 115-113 in favor of Ramirez, so bettors can use that as a good boxing form guide as well.
