Quick Picks

Our pick: Collins to win

Value bet: Collins to win by decision

Long shot: Collins by TKO/KO

Tale of the Tape

Their first clash in October 2025 at Braehead Arena ended in a majority draw (115-113 twice, 114-114), with Collins dominating early via aggression and speed before Lorente rallied with precise adjustments and pressure.

Collins is a slick boxer-puncher with sharp counterpunching, strong straight lefts, and a deep punch selection, thriving on the back foot against aggressive foes. Lorente is the defending champion and relies on forward pressure, solid left hands, and tactical mid-fight adjustments, though he shows limited head movement and vulnerability to counters. Questions have been asked about his ability against quality opponents in the past.

How do the two fighters compare? Collins's figures are first…

• Age: 29 vs 30

• Height: 5'6" (168cm) vs 5'9" (175cm)

• Stance: Southpaw vs Orthodox

• Record: 17-0-1 vs 20-0-3

• KO Record: 8 vs 8

Betting Markets to Watch

Collins is considered the early favourite in the betting for this matchup, perhaps with his performance in the first bout between the pair in mind.

There isn't a great deal of value in his odds because of the favouritism being shown, likely due to home advantage; still, you can find additional value in the method of victory markets if you share the same confidence as the bookies for the Scot to win. If you're new to boxing betting explained, understanding these markets is a great place to start.

The most likely outcome is for Collins to win by decision. Their technical draw (115-113 x2, 114-114) suggests another 12-round chess match, especially with both improving adjustments. By extension, this means there's value in the fight going the distance.

Our prediction is that Collins becomes the EBU European Featherweight champion by winning this fight by unanimous decision.

Collins to win by TKO/KO offers huge value worth exploring as a long shot. He had a strong performance against Lee McGregor to stop him in the 4th round, and he could look to exploit Lorente's static head. For more on the quickest boxing knockouts in history, Collins would need to produce something special early.
