Vlad Panin and Brian Arregui easily made the weight for their ten-round junior middleweight fight on Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Panin, 21-1 (13 KOs), came in at 152lbs, while Arregui, 10-5 (7 KOs), checked in a pound heavier at 154lbs. The fight will headline a six-fight card at The Tropicana Hotel and Casino. The show will be promoted by Boxing Insider Promotions, and will air live on DAZN beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Panin, 29, a Belarus native who now resides in Los Angeles, is seeking his 15th straight victory – and his first in the northeast region after a career that was built primarily on the West Coast.
Arregui, 25, of Villaguay, Argentina is looking to halt a four-fight losing skid, though that stretch includes a competitive loss to former welterweight contender Diego Chaves and a majority decision loss to Wendy Toussaint last November in his U.S. debut.
Also in action is local favorite Justin Figueroa, 11-0 (9 KOs), who weighed in at 156lbs for his six-round co-feature bout. He will take on Mario Rios, 10-3-1 (7 KOs), of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who came in at 153lbs. The 26-year-old Figueroa is the biggest local ticket draw in the Atlantic City area and a mainstay on Boxing Insider shows. Rios, 35, is coming off a first round stoppage loss in his U.S. debut against Alex Bray last December.
