Jamal James, Thomas Dulorme make weight for fight on Saturday
Jamal James and Thomas Dulorme made the 147-pound limit Friday for their 12-round welterweight bout Saturday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Fox.
James weighed 145.8 pounds, Dulorme 146.2. The fight is for an “interim” title.
James (26-1, 12 KOs) has won six consecutive fights since he lost a close decision to Yordenis Ugas in 2016. He’s coming off one of his biggest victories, a unanimous decision over veteran Antonio DeMarco in July of last year.
Dulorme (25-3-1, 16 KOs) is only 1-1-1 in his last three fights but was competitive in a loss to Ugas, drew with Jessie Vargas and outpointed previously unbeaten Terrel Williams in September.
