strikinggood

He only leans toward one side, immediately conditions it on how that man chooses to fight, and closes by advising people to avoid the matchup entirely.

A boxing-based pressure striker with sharp combinations and excellent clinch work, whose grappling is essentially an unknown because the analyst has too little footage to judge it.

Strengthboxing-style striking built on forward pressure and combination punching
Strengthexcellent dirty boxing when he pins opponents on the fence, mixing in knees
Strengthgood power behind his punches
Strengthstarts fast and imposes himself early
Weaknesshis combination-heavy boxing invites an opponent who fires back mid-combo rather than waiting
Weaknessgrappling is an open question with almost no tape to assess
