Calls it "a tough fight to pick," "tricky one," "close fight," then commits to Romero on a stated mechanism (faster start, likely first-round win).

Our paraphrase: good striker with forward pressure and a high guard who works behind a jab into combinations that mix levels (body to head), which the analyst singles out as uncommon. Good cage push and dirty boxing, with knees and elbows in close. Notably hard to hold down off his back.
