Kenneth Sims Jr. vs. Oscar Duarte | DAZN - August 2, 2025

[chucktaylor]

Prograis and Diaz- Awesome fan-friendly fight! Both guys really wanted it and the styles gelled.
6-4 either way or a draw would be fair; hard to see 8-2
Diaz was having the greater effect with some of the power punches. I thought the commentators played it up a bit too. Prograis did weather the shots and stayed on his feet. He has quite the offensive arsenal, but he ends up leaving his chin exposed sometimes.

Great judging there...

Close Maj Dec by 2, 1 and 0 rounds - Duarte nicks a close one on power and volume.
You might have preferred Sims' smarter boxing, but most thought Duarte edged it.

I had Duarte winning a wide 117-111 , I knew going by comms I was probably gonna be way off but Sims effort didn't do all that much for me, it was your classic boxer vs fighter and Duarte's aggression and volume won on the day for me, even in the close rounds when Sims might not have been losing, Duarte would find a way to steal it with a big burst, Sims showed skills, moved well at times but then again spent too long on ropes playing counter puncher and wasn't that effective or busy enough, he switched southpaw but was no better or worse, he had to take the fight by the scruff of the neck but he didn't and that's why he lost, not because Duarte was levels above him, it was about hunger and desire and Duarte's willingness to get the job done

[Evander]

Had it for Duarte
Sims spent too much time in the corners and was stationary enough for periods to hit
Sims did a lot of things well, nice flurries decent movement and timing
No one took charge but Duarte was consistently pushing the action and looked to me to beat Sims

8-4 Duarte on my card. I had Prograis 96-94 in a great fight.
