Kar zadeva njegov vzdevek, Prograis said, “My manager and my dad were just trying to come up with nicknames. V bistvu, everybody was just shooting out names and they shot out that one – ‘Rougarou’. Najprej, I didn’t like it, but it stuck with me. A rougarou is like a Louisiana-type swamp monster or werewolf.”
Herrera, 27, of Valladolid, Mexico, zmagovalec 16 in a row at the outset of a pro career that began in August 2008, has fought some noteworthy opposition. This will be his second fight in U.S. tal. In his stateside debut, Herrera dropped a 10-round decision to undefeated prospect Pedro Campa Zadnja December. 12.
Besides experience, Herrera has solid skills, movement and hails from a strong family boxing background (his father and grandfather boxed). He’s at his best when he keeps his foes off-balance and can surely outbox them. This will be the 17th consecutive time he’ll be matched against a boxer with a winning record.
“I’m very excited at the opportunity to showcase my talent on theShoBox series,’’ Herrera said. “I’ve watched a few fights of Regis on YouTube. On je dober borec, but I am a better one. I feel fighting in Mexico has given me the upper hand. Mexican fighters are tough. I have fought better opposition and I’m the more experienced fighter.
“I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this. I need a good breakout fight for the fans to see me in action. I am a proud Mexican fighter and on March 25 the fans will see how real Mexicans fight like, and Prograis will know who Aaron Herrera is. Viva Mexico!»

I am that guy, I am that fighter. The cliché is true: to be the best you’ve got to fight and beat the best. We are both undefeated and this is the kind of a fight that separates the good fighters from the great ones.’’
