Tonight's Friday Night Fights has some good action potential, as it's night number one of the "Boricua Invasion" at New York's Roseland Ballroom, and a couple of serious puncher prospects are on display tonight against solid opponents.
The show starts live at 9 p.m. EDT on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com.
In the main event, Kenny Galarza (14-1, 14 KO) meets Irving Garcia (17-6-3, 8 KO) in a 10-round welterweight showcase. Galarza, 25, is still raw and has some question marks after being thoroughly dominated over 10 rounds last June by fellow 147-pound prospect Brad Solomon. His best wins are a pair of TKOs over veteran Ilido Julio. Garcia, 32, has lost three straight and is 1-3-2 in his last six, but that all started with a very competitive technical draw against Yuriy Nuzhnenko in 2008. Stateside, he's probably best known for a cracking fight against Luis Carlos Abregu in May 2009, which was all action for the four rounds it lasted.
The co-feature has another welterweight prospect, Thomas Dulorme (11-0, 10 KO), taking on faded veteran DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (37-17-1, 22 KO). Corley can still be a bit tricky as a crafty southpaw, but his ability to take punches has dropped considerably over the years, and Dulorme can really bang. He turned some heads in April on the Berto vs Ortiz card when he viciously knocked out Harrison Cuello.

I wouldn't be shocked if Chop Chop is a step up too quick too soon
Maidana couldn’t knock him out, and it wouldn’t be the first time Corley has beaten (or should have beaten) a touted prospect. While the Cuello KO was great, I still have no clue whether Dulorme can box. Looking only at what I know, he could be no better than Breidis Prescott.

Not gonna score anything tonight. or rather not gonna do RBR. Might score. Would rather drink and watch and discuss and be a doofus.

FWIW
I’ve never liked watching Corley fight, but he’s one of my favorite people in the sport. A little quirky, never backs down from anyone, and a legitimately good guy. Raising like 9 kids, and IIRC four of them were a friends who he took in after his friend died.

Facially, Dulorme looks oddly similar to Quinton Jackson. If he’s half as good or charismatic he’ll be a heck of a find.

Haven't seen chop chop in awhile.
I hope he’s got something left in the tank.

Neither man with anything too impressive.

Dulorme's jab finding a home.
Corley is a step slow so far.
I went 10-9 dulorme on activity

Highlight it, hit Control + C, then paste it in every time he comes up.
That’s what I do with hard to spell names in these threads anyway

Dulorme looks like he’s getting a little sloppy.
R4 Dulorme 10-9
40-35 Dulorme (correcting earlier error in scoring)
he threw a ton of punches at the end of the 3rd round.
It may have been only a 10 second flurry, but he was really throwing, he might have overdid it a bit.

What happened to this guy Omar Henry who was supposed to be the next Miguel Cotto? I haven’t heard anything else about him.
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
Wikipedia says he’s now in MMA. And also going to college as well.
Oh, okay. I guess boxing wasn’t much of a priority.

Corley really dropping out fast here.
His corner might want to think about throwing in the towel. Yes I know they won’t.
This isn’t much different than he’s looked in a lot of fights lately. He’s very up and down. And that’s not a getting knocked down pun. OK it can be.

I know, but given who his father is, etc, this one still seems bizarre.

I especially enjoy it when he willingly mispronounces the names, meaning, when Joe or another commentator will respectfully correct him an he continues his ways

Is Cotto really ranked # 1 at Jr. Middleweight?

by Ring, yes
And I guess I can see it. It’s a division short on resumes. I still have Dzinziruk at #1 and I don’t remember if they even rank him.

Maybe Dulorme was just pacing himself, he’d never been past 4 rounds

Does anyone find it weird that they lean on Ring rankings and not ESPN.com rankings? Is one really any more credible than the other anymore?

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Especially considering ESPN's known love...
…for self/cross-promotion
The Ring is far more credible in the eyes of old schoolers, even post-buy out, I would think...

I’ll say this-not that the Boxing Hall of Fame (or any HOF) for that matter is something I care about, but I like that Mike seems to have turned his life into something else, after being so bad for so long. He’ll always be a “what might have been”, though.
I think we got the absolute most of his career could have ever happened. If he’d been relaxed back when he’d have never been the marquee star.

I’m from a Puerto Rican backround and my favorite ‘brothers’ are Cintron and Cotto. I rather not see them fight each other. Dulorme looks good. I go for Garcia for an upset.
I like Galarza early in this one. And nasty.
One time I bought a Puerto Rico shirt just because I was drunk and had been talking about Miguel Cotto.

R1 to Galarza. Was more active, I guess. Both sides seems to be feeling each other out.
10-9 Galarza.
Yeah I think he might have some troubles early with ring rust, but I believe he’ll eventually outclass Carlos.

Within the last few months, Puerto Rico has lost Calderon, Juanma Lopez and Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. Their only remaining champion is Miguel Cotto, who is rounding the bend and who probably won’t be fighting two years from now. Lopez will surely be back, and Vazquez probably will be as well, but still—it’s been a very bad time for PR boxing, and Teddy and company are clearly scooting around the topic for obvious reasons.

Yeah, Mexico has dominated the rivalry lately. It’ll change eventually. PR has some nice prospects.

I agree with you MATT. Perhaps Dulorme will win a title in a year or so. I see Cintron winning a title at 154 pretty soon though.
Yeah his win over Angulo in 2009 was a nice moment for PR fans

Garcia should let his hands go
I think he has a chance of an upset.
Alright. Galarza isn’t working for me.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Please Garcia, just attack and end this.
Or not, by getting punched in the face on the break
The best I can say for this fight...
…is that it doesn’t suck as much as the main event last week.
69-64 Garcia for me. Galarza is being flat exposed. Solomon was one thing, this is another.

I’ve got it 89-82. This has not been close. Garcia has boxed circles around Galarza.

I gave two early rounds (2 and 4, I forget) to Galarza
but yeah, it’s not been good for Galarza.
That’s one sweaty ref. It’s been hot here in NYC, but I don’t recall Roseland’s AC ever being a problem.
