Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Striking defense
Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.
Counter punching
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.35 TD/15 and 0.17 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 53% / 2.06 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 84% TD defense.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (26, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. 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.

Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
