Fighter history
Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) captured the WBC junior welterweight title after a dominating performance and eleventh-round TKO of Jose Zepeda last November. He has quietly ascended in the pound-for-pound rankings to number one in the 140-lb. division. His only loss came at the hands of previous undisputed junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor. The southpaw and Louisiana-native now has a hometown title defense on the horizon.
Zorilla (17-1, 13 KOs) is a late replacement for Australian fighter Liam Paro, who withdrew from this bout due to injury. This will be his second fight on American soil and his first true major title bout. Zorrilla spent a good portion of his early career as a professional in Puerto Rico before gaining traction and eventually landing promotion from former boxing standout Miguel Cotto.
Fight odds
Prograis is favored to win with odds of -1600, as Zorrilla sits as a +850 underdog. The favored method of victory is a Prograis knockout win (-500).
