What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • Striking defense

    Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.

Scouting report

Kevin Borjas “El Gallo Negro” is a 28-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of Peru, camped at Pitbull Martial Arts Center. The tape read: pocket striker — porous pocket. Career mark 11-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (51).

What works. Durability is the standout at 86 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 48% / 6.22 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (12, 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 (6 bouts): W Lima (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 5289578 (KO/TKO R2) · L Sumudaerji (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4685888 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 5074121 (KO/TKO R2). Form index negative over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
