Carolina, Puerto Rico, - In the past week, the NABA champion at 147 pounds, Thomas Dulorme (13-0, 10KO's), and the WBA world champion at 140 pounds, Marcos "El Chino" Maidana (31-2, 28KO's), hung out and trained together at the School of Sports in Carolina, PR. Their sparring session was a boxing match at the highest level and both fighters had their moments, demonstrated their levels of skill and neither took a step back.

"The experience was very good, Maidana and his team treated us very well. The sparring was very good for me, as "El Chino" is an excellent boxer and world champion. Sparring with someone who has so much experience will only help me to improve. He hits very hard," Dulorme said.

Dulorme returns next Friday, February 17 on a card presented by Gary Shaw Productions and televised by Showtime at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, California. Maidana (31-2, 28 KOs), meanwhile, is on the agenda to fight Devon Alexander (22-1, 13 KO) on the 25th February.
