"It was harder than I thought. It was a very close fight and very tough fight," said Dulorme. "He has a lot of experience and is a durable guy but I stuck to my game plan and did what I had to do to get the win. Now, I'm looking forward to a world title fight opportunity."

"I overcame a knockdown and made it an ugly fight because I knew I had to," said Lundy. "I thought I took the later rounds but had I stuck to my game plan in the early rounds I know I could have gotten him out of there."
