The Current champion is a volume-punching, sharp and speedy, counter-punching out-fighter with all the confidence of a dominant, long-reigning world champion. 

His jab is lightning-fast and his backhand is a dangerous weapon but it’s those hooks he throws in combinations that are the most damaging.

His forthcoming foe is young, confident, and powerful, but he does show signs of inexperience during fights.
