Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Axel Sola is a 28-year-old Southpaw lightweight out of France, camped at Boxing Squad. The tape read: pocket striker — porous pocket, southpaw. Career mark 12-1-1 — 2 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (78).
What works. Durability is the standout at 84 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.89 TD/15 and 0.47 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 53% / 7.33 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 77% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Striking defense is the soft spot (40, D). Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window. Opponents who draw them into the pocket and throw with bad intentions 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 3093513 (Submission R1) · L Jones (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4078243 (KO/TKO R3) · W 5135143 (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W 3734006 (KO/TKO R2). Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
