Thomas Dulorme vs. Frankie Figueroa: On Saturday night HBO is so packed with fights that they will air one of those fights on HBO Latino. That fight will be a 10 round welterweight battle between Thomas Dulorme (18-1, 13 KO) and Frankie Figueroa (20-5-1, 13 KO). It will be Dulorme's third fight back since being completely destroyed by Luis Carlos Abregu in 2012. Entering that fight Dulorme was one of the hottest prospects in the sport, and after that fight he was viewed as a guy who had a lot to improve on. Specifically what appeared to be a glass jaw. But Dulorme also has a ton of offensive talent to go along with that horrible chin. Dulorme has very fast hands and one punch knockout power which he flashes with authority. Dulorme will need to feature that power against the slick Figueroa. At 35 years of age Figueroa is very experienced and has fought some top level talent. He relies on his quickness and good footwork to be successful and that quickness is accentuated by his lack of height standing at only 5'6''. Figueroa will probably stick and move all night as he tries to frustrate Dulorme. I expect Dulorme to look a little lost in the first round or two but then come on strong on his way to a unanimous decision victory.
