strikingdecent
Commits to Harris but immediately adds that he does not feel good about the pick -- a direct hedge on the win itself.
An athletic heavyweight with decent striking built on power and movement who can land big shots coming forward, but the analyst is blunt that he is not very durable at this stage of his career and struggles if the fight goes to the mat on his back. Picked, but with heavy reservations tied to a long layoff and shaky recent form.
StrengthDecent power striking, athletic movement for a heavyweight
StrengthCan land big shots coming forward
WeaknessNot very durable at this stage of his career
