Team Puerto Rico: Strength In
Numbers
Galarza and Dulorme Spar Together for Their Respective
Fights
Welterweight super prospect, Thomas Dulorme (11-0, 10 KO's), and hard-hitting 140-pound knockout
artist Kenny "Battlestar" Galarza (14-1, 14 KO's) are
sparring and training together in preparation for their
respective ESPN-televised Boricua Invasion I fights at the
Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Friday, June 10.
Dulorme, Galarza and several other members of Team Puerto
Rico will be appearing in blockbuster back-to-back boxing
events at the Roseland on June 10 and 11, entitled Boricua
Invasion I & II.
Galarza, of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico, will face compatriot,
Irving Garcia (17-6-3, 8 KO's) in the main event, while
Dulorme will face former world champion DeMarcus Corley
(37-17-1, 22 KOs) in one of the televised supporting bouts.
"Kenny is of great help to my training. He is a strong
fighter who can fight left- and right-handed. I am grateful
that he's decided to help me train for my fight," said
Dulorme.
"There is strength in numbers. We are part of Team Puerto
Rico and as part of this team, we should help each other
achieve our goals. Dulorme is a strong fighter and very
quick and he will help me a lot in my preparation for my
fight with Garcia," said Galarza.
Both fighters are represented by Universal Promotions, Gary
Shaw Productions and DiBella Entertainment.
