First up, let’s talk records. Vergil Ortiz Jr. is a knockout king with a spotless 20-0 record; all wins coming by way of knockout. Now, that’s impressive! On the other side, Thomas Dulorme brings a mix of experience and resilience to the ring, sporting a 26-6-1 record, with 17 of those wins coming via knockout. Clearly, Ortiz’s power is unmatched, but Dulorme’s experience shouldn’t be overlooked either.

Age and conditioning are key factors too. Ortiz, at 26, is in the prime of his athletic career, while Dulorme, at 34, knows the clock ticks louder with each fight. Both stand at 5’10”, but their reach tells a different story. Dulorme’s arms stretch 73 inches, giving him a slight edge over Ortiz’s 70 inches. This could be crucial in keeping the aggressive Ortiz at bay.

Weight adds another layer to this analysis. Ortiz last tipped the scales at 152½ pounds, well-prepared and solid for the super welterweight limit. Dulorme, usually fighting lighter, weighed in at 147¾ pounds in his last bout. The weight difference might translate into extra power for Ortiz.

And let’s not forget the knockout ratio—Ortiz’s 100% KO rate is daunting, indeed. Dulorme’s 65.38% is respectable but pales in comparison. However, Dulorme has faced tough opponents and has shown he can handle the heat. Will Ortiz’s raw power prevail, or will Dulorme’s ring savvy turn the tables?

So, how do these stats stack up in the ring? Vergil Ortiz Jr. last dazzled us in January, dispatching Fredrick Lawson in the very first round at 2:33 with a knockout that left fans buzzing. This guy doesn’t just win; he wins with style and devastating power. His form is unbeatable, and each victory adds more proof that he’s a force to reckon with.

Thomas Dulorme, on the other hand, made his last appearance in the summer of 2022, where he secured a third-round TKO against Abrahan Peralta. That win was crucial, showing he’s still got the skills and punch power after a period away from the spotlight. However, stepping back into the ring after a break can be a double-edged sword.

Taking all this into account, the prediction seems clear. While Dulorme is seasoned and savvy, the sheer intensity and undefeated streak of Ortiz make him the likely victor. Expect this fight to be about Ortiz asserting his dominance early on. With his track record, a knockout seems not just possible but probable. We’re predicting for Ortiz to win by KO.

Will Ortiz’s streak continue, or will Dulorme’s return to the ring be the comeback story of the year? What do you think? Drop your predictions below.
