"Yoryi Estrella is a great strong fighter and I hope we bring a toe-to-toe action packed fight, because the fans are paying for the tickets".  

In his short professional career, Dulorme already has wins over former titlist DeMarcus Corley plus Charlie Navarro, who both fell to the Puerto Rican by unanimous decision.

Estrella went the distance in an exciting fight in his next to last encounter against current IBF 147-pound titlist Randall Bailey, who went on who to defeat Mike Jones by knockout in his last fight.

"This will be a war because I come to fight and win and this victory is for the Dominican Republic" said a confident Yoryi Estrella.

Once he feels my hands, the fight will be over, so I'm eager to fight" said Melendez.  

Local fighter from Cidra, PR, José "Sniper" Pedraza (9-0, 6 KOs) will clash against José Valderrama (4-1, 2 KOs) in the nominal co-feature,  scheduled for eight rounds in the super featherweight division.  "I know that Valderrama is well prepared," said Pedraza.  "This will be an interesting fight because despite of his record, he is a quality fighter."   Valderrama's only loss was a close one against local fighter, Kelvin Galarza last year in Ponce, PR.
