Junior middleweight Patrick Day pulled off the minor upset Saturday night, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Virgilijus Stapulionis.

With the win, Day improves to 13-2-1 (6 knockouts). Stapulionis, who is originally from Lithuania and now resides in Oxnard, California, drops to 27-4-1 (19 KOs).

The bout headlined a Main Events card that took place inside the Uncas Ballroom at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Day dropped Stapulionis in the third round. Undaunted, Stapulionis battled back in the second half of the fight. There were points in the fight when both traded combinations to the delight of the crowd but Day did enough to win the fight on the judges’ scorecards (99-90, 98-91 and 97-92).

The loss snapped a six-bout unbeaten streak for Stapulionis.
