In Chicago, Oscar Duarte defeated Kenneth Sims Jr. by majority decision in an eliminator for the WBA super lightweight title. Duarte demonstrated his strength and constant pressure, outperforming Sims in a very competitive fight.

Regis Prograis vs. Joseph “Jojo” Diaz: A Stellar Fight

The co-main event between Regis Prograis and Joseph “Jojo” Diaz was a spectacle. Prograis won by unanimous decision in a super lightweight fight that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Prograis, based on his jab, managed to score points against Diaz. Despite Diaz’s attempts, who landed significant punches, Prograis demonstrated resilience and control of the fight, winning two scorecards of 96-94 and one of 98-92.

“I felt like I won the fight,” Prograis stated. “My jab worked all night. I was connecting. I think he connected with some hard shots, but at the same time I was never [hurt]. I was probably stunned the first time he connected, but after that, I wasn’t stunned anymore.”

Both Prograis and Diaz, for the moment, remain outside the top 10 of the super lightweight division.
