During the press conference, Dulorme was emphatic in his fight dedication to the Latino community by mentioning, "On April 18, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Colombia and all the Latinos around the world will have a new champion", stated a confident Dulorme. In response, Terence Crawford's co-manager and trainer, Brian McIntyre commented, "The Mexicans, the Puerto Ricans, the Colombians, the Dominicans, they can't help you fight, bro. I am not trying to be disrespectful, but this is between you and Terence. Terence is a throwback fighter. He has hands of stone, can fight on the inside and outbox you. He is a winner in everything he does in life. May the best man win." "I consider the comments of this gentleman Brian McIntyre very disrespectful toward the Latinos and to myself. I dedicate this fight to all the Latinos, because I'm Latino, and I'm proud of it. In the ring, it's only Crawford, the referee and I, but the support of the Latinos will be there as well and cannot be ignored", said Thomas Dulorme, who is stationed at an undisclosed location in Puerto Rico for the biggest fight of his career. "Day in and day out I represent Latinos around the world. In the great nation of the United States, you must take advantage of every opportunity. On April 18, I will work hard to become a world champion in Texas, and bring glory to my people", concluded Thomas Dulorme.  |
