“Don’t get that one performance f***ed up. I’m going to bust you a**. It ain’t going to be like that with you. I hope we see each other next, though.” Regis added.
What “Dream” replied to Regis wasn’t heard but as the undisputed lightweight world champion, he’s looking forward to book his next fight. The 24-year-old boxer, who presently has a perfect 30-0-0 record, extended his winning streak on May 20 with yet another contentious victory.
In a highly anticipated lightweight boxing battle against Vasiliy Lomachenko at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Devin won by unanimous decision with scores of 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113.

“I kept pressing the action, but he ran around the whole time. He ran and he tried to survived. He was stronger than I thought and he caught me with some punches, but he just ran around. It was kind of hard to get to him.” Regis said.
However, his promoter, Eddie wasn’t quite satisfied with the fight as he expected more from Zorilla. According to the British boxing analyst, it could’ve been an even better fight if ‘El Zorro’ put up some more fight.
