Comments Thread For: Galarza Fizzles, Dulorme Sizzles: Boricuas Invade NYC

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Mike Coppinger - NEW YORK – Kenny Galarza grinded out an unimpressive 10 round decision victory over Irving Garcia in the main event of ESPN 2’s Friday Night Fights from the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, an all-Puerto Rican top-bill bout in celebration of the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

Galarza, of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, looked to jab and land straight rights from the start, happy to box from the outside. Garcia, 32, seemed content to box as well, making for a ho-hum affair. Galarza, 25, continued to push action, landing straights at will, but nothing of consequence seemed to land on the Vega, Puerto Rico native.

Garcia (17-6-3, 8 KOs) came into the bout riding a three-bout losing streak (1-3-2 in his last six, most notably a KO loss to welterweight contender Mike Jones). Galarza’s lone professional loss came at the hands of the undefeated Brad Solomon last June.

Garcia, 146, couldn’t get off first, throwing away any chance he had of winning rounds, as Galarza pushed him around the ring, dictating the action.

In the fourth round, Galarza hurt Garcia following a hard shot to the body, but couldn’t follow up. The middle rounds contained little action, as the bout took on the appearance of a glorified sparring match. [Click Here To Read More]

dulorme looked pretty good, especially against a TRUE crafty veteran in only his what? 12th fight?

anyone see in the second round i think how slick corley was when dulorme had him on the ropes? he was weaving and slipping and sliding 6 punch combo's.

I missed ESPN2, but the way this sounds of the current Corley slipping punches like that, I would say it's more of an accuracy problem in Dulorme's game.

this article is trash. this was one of the worst decisions in the history of boxing no joke. garcia won every round, outboxed galarza's head off and beat him to a pulp. it wasn't close at all. no mention of the robbery anywhere? boxing's reporters are just as bad as it's judges. i'm suprised the article wasn't written like this...

"in new york city 2 puerto rican fighters fought. 1 of the guys named tommy punched this other guy named marcus in the face and won by 25 round decision. this other guy named kenny won i don't remember how because i fell asleep half way through but when i woke up the crowd of millions was praising and chanting his name. stay tuned for my breakdown of the floyd maidweather vs carlos ortiz fight on espn ppv."

nah bro it wasn't a robbery really. . . while i thought garcia fought a good, smart fight behind a nice solid jab, galarza put in work too. he had some nice combo's. but this fight proved galarza really isn't that great. he's good, but not HBO worthy.

Dulorme is a future star and kenny better not be seen on tv till he gets his act together

That and combos.he was sitting and throwing one punch at a time when he had chances to finish corley earlier

thomas has the attributes to be a great fighter but the guy most definitely needs to tighten up his offense.
