Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (35, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.
Recent tape (2 bouts): L Ferreira (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Dolidze (Decision - Unanimous R5). Form index negative over the last 2. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
