Watch: Ortiz KOs Dulorme to set up a big fight

Vergil Ortiz Jr. KO1 Thomas Dulorme... Though he moved up a weight class to junior middleweight, Vergil Ortiz Jr. showed he retained his punching power and remains one of the most exciting boxers in the sport. Fighting in Fresno, California, Ortiz delivered a liver shot that knocked out Thomas Dulorme in the first round. The win set up a likely fight between Ortiz and former WBO champion Tim Tszyu. In his post-fight interview, Ortiz called out the Australian: "Hey Tim, I know you’re watching this fight right now. I’m ready for you, man. We’re ready... let’s get ready for World War III. Let’s put on the best show for these folks alright?"
