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 5350158 (KO/TKO R1) · L 4694832 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5078230 (KO/TKO R3) · W Galanti (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 5296769 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 3 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
