Former world title challenger Thomas Dulorme (23-2, 15 KOs) from Carolina, Puerto Rico returned in full force at the Pabellón de la Feria, Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.

Dulorme knocked out Mexico's Jesus "Pantera" Gurrola ( 22-9-3, 10 KO's ) in the third of a scheduled eight round welterweight bout.

"Fighting for the first time in Spain was something big in my career because I felt at home with the love and respect that they gave me," said Dulorme, who made his training camp under the command of Spanish coach Alberto Gonzalez.

"My opponent was strong and tried to connect with good shots. He was aggressive, but my preparation mentally, physically and was strategically was very strong at all times and went according to the plan. I used my speed to my advantage to finish him. I felt very good and strong in my return to 147 pounds and I will go for more.

On his future, Dulorme said, "I'm a free agent and several promoters want to meet with me. I know it will soon come together for me with good fights. I'll be more than ready to take them and come away with the win."

After the fighting ended, Spanish former world champion in two divisions, Javier Castillejo, entered the ring to congratulate Dulorme.

"For me it was a real honor to receive congratulations from Javier Castillejo. That will be a memory for life. I remember several of his fights with Felix Sturm, Fernando Vargas and Oscar de la Hoya," Dulorme said.

Dulorme has notable victories over former world champion DeMarcus Corley, the rising prospect, Karim Mayfield, who marched unbeaten in 19 starts and world contender Hank Lundy and Charlie Navarro.

In his last presentation, which was affected by a sudden divorce during his training and differences with his team, Dulorme lost a competitive match against one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, Terence Crawford in bout fought for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) world title at the 140-pound division.
