Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Marina Rodriguez is a 39-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of Brazil, camped at Thai Brasil. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 17-6-2 — 4 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (28, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence 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 (1 bouts): W Xiaonan (Decision - Split R3). Form index positive over the last 1. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
