[Boxing- USA] 27.4/ 23:00 V.Ortiz- T.Dulorme

Ortiz came off a near two year layoff in January after suffering health issues from weight cuts. He’s 20-0 with 20 ko’s and he already has some very good wins on his resume. He now fights at little middleweight and looked good on the scales. Ortiz is a seriously ferocious puncher and throws every punch with bad intentions. His work isn’t just hit and hope though, he’s supremely skilful in his use of body to head attacks. It was announced earlier this week he will be fighting Tim Tszyu in August for the interim WBA belt providing he gets through this fight with Dulorme.

Dulorme was once a decent contender however he has took some serious beatings in his time. He’s been ko’d 3 times, has been knocked down 10 times in his career and that’s just going off boxrec so it’s not official and he’s now 34. He’s not fought in almost 2 years and this is his first ever time fighting at light middleweight. All of those signs to me point easy ko cherry pick. Dulorme fights with his heart on his sleeve and doesn’t fight defensively which is perfect for Ortiz’s aggressive style. At this stage of his career there’s no chance Dulorme will be able to take the power of someone like Ortiz and with the way he fights it won’t take long at all until he’s caught. Dulorme’s last fight was against a journeyman who has been ko’d in 17 out of his 17 losses and it took him 3 rounds to even stop him. Previous to that he was stopped in 1 round by Boots Ennis.

I think there’s so many factors here that make it clear what will happen in this fight. Dulorme is old, worn out and super inactive. Ortiz is on the cusp of a massive payday and super fight, one of the most explosive punchers in boxing and is now at what seems his optimum weight. I think this will end before half way of the 5th round. Dulorme can’t fight defensive so will leave himself vulnerable to Ortiz’s attack and we’ll see a finish from Ortiz in under 4.5 rounds.
