Explicit hedge on the win itself: "I'm not too sure" (quote, 4 words), plus a general statement that he lacks confidence in many fights on this card.

A well-rounded fighter the analyst calls a 'pretty good all-rounder' with a good low kick, good overall punching and a few long straight punches, helped by a long-limbed frame he is told will serve him well if he keeps his distance. He is also decent at grappling, with good work at the cage/clinch and decent takedowns when needed.
