Thomas Dulorme vs. Luis Carlos Abregu Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Oh well....... so much for that.

I think they brought Dulorme along a little too quick, to go up against a seasoned pro like Abregu, bad mistake.

It's somewhat amazing to see Rafa fighting at this level, years after his fights with Israel Vazquez.

My WBC link is fucked up. Anybody got another one please?

Fixed it. N.B. Never fuck with unfamiliar media players when stoned.

I think that was a bad stoppage.

That was a complete war, but Marquez looked about shot in there to me. Maybe stopped a bit early, but I didn't like the way Marquez was responding to punches from early on. Mijares isn't by any means heavy handed and he likely would've kept pouring it on and got the stoppage anyways, I think it's just as well the ref stepped in when he did. Marquez should retire, the guy has taken so much punishment for his size and he's to much of a fighter for his own good.

Good night of fights, and good tribute to Steward. At first it seemed they weren't going to give the man his proper due, but I'm glad they followed up with a real piece on him.

Main event was a hell of a fight. Was rooting for Abregu to pull the lil upset and he did.

Vasquez lost that fight against Quintero in the opener. BS decision especially the 118-110. Not highway robbery, but wrong.

Mayfield looked good, just seems to tire down the stretch. Herrera was a beast. Tough SOB.

Vasquez, especially with that mohawk do, reminded me of Bantam Rooster, who's precariously holding on to his position as top cockerel in the barnyard. I thought Quintero won the fight as well, but to be honest it was so boring I wasn't really paying attention.

I agree. Max Kellerman alluded to that also, and I'm in total agreement. I hope he can continue to develop, as I think he's got tremendous talent.

Likewise and not sure how Abregu could really be considered an underdog with a 33/1 record

I agree with this also. Abregu has the tremendous record... his only loss was to Bradley, and supposedly he had a bad hand... and although Dulorme's record was pretty good as well, he didn't have nearly the rounds of experience that Abregu did. I hope Dulorme bounces back from this and learns a lot, 'cause I still think he has a good future in boxing.

Abregu is a tough hombre, with good power in both hands, the final KD was from a left hook right on the button. Dulorme got up from the final KD, but he looked like a beaten fighter, and Abregu was going to pounce and pour it on. The corner did the right thing stopping the fight, live to fight another day.
Dulorme is a young kid, so he should be able to shake off this loss and come back from it.
