Zepeda vs Prograis Prediction & Betting Outlook
Both of these fighters are world class and overlooked as top guys in the boxing game. Prograis and Zepeda each hold win streaks dating back to 2019 and share similar narratives as veteran fighters finally getting another chance at becoming world champions.
Zepeda is getting his third crack at fighting for a world title, hoping that the third time is the charm. In 2015, Zepeda lost a world title fight to Terry Flannagan in Manchester after he was unable to continue due to injury.
In Zepeda’s most recent title fight, he lost to Jose Ramirez on the judges’ scorecards. Originally, Zepeda was supposed to run it back against Ramirez before Ramirez pulled out of the fight due to scheduling conflicts with his upcoming marriage gave way to Prograis stepping in as the opponent.
Zepeda lacks the finishing power that Prograis possesses, seeing far more of his fights go the distance. Prograis has been on a run of ending his fights early, with back-to-back sixth round knockouts to his name against Tyronne McKenna and Ivan Redkach. in addition to a third round TKO victory over Juan Heraldez on Halloween night in 2020 at the Alamodome.
Prograis has to be considered the likely winner of this fight, given his superior power in his punches as well as the fact Prograis beat Terry Flanagan when the two crossed paths in 2018.
After a long wait for his opportunity, it should be Prograis’ night in late November when the veteran fighter enters the squared circle looking for his second world title.
