Was it too soon for Dulorme to be facing Abregu?

Image: Was it too soon for Dulorme to be facing Abregu?By Dan Ambrose: #3 WBA welterweight contender Thomas Dulorme (16-1, 12 KO’s) looked lost out there and confused in getting blown out by #10 WBC Luis Carlos Abregu (34-1, 28 KO’s) by a 7th round TKO defeat at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino, in Verona, New York. This was supposed to have been a winnable fight for the highly hyped 22-year-old Dulorme.

After all, Abregu had already been beaten soundly by Tim Bradley two years prior and had struggled to beat 2nd tier fighters like Richard Gutierrez and David Estrada. Abregu had been knocked down in a win over Gutierrez, who was past his best years. Dulorme should have been able to take care of the 28-year-old Abregu if he was really all that some boxing fans had thought he was.

Abregu found a home for his powerful right hands early and was able to knock Dulorme down in the 3rd round. From there the fight, which was being dominated previous to that by Dulorme, was much different with Abregu putting the pressure on the experienced 22-year-old. In the 7th, Abegu hurt Dulorme with a series of punches and then knocked him down with a hard combination. Although Dulorme beat the count corner wisely threw in the towel.

This is a big test for the knockout artist Dulorme because Abregu is a considerable step up from the types of fighters that he’s been facing during his four year pro career. The best that Dulorme has fought thus far are guys like Charlie Jose Navarro, Aris Ambriz and DeMarcus Corley. Dulorme didn’t look all that great against Corley and was hit hard on a number of occasions in winning a lopsided 10 round decision.
