He’s more disciplined, he’s following the strategy much more. That’s something very important that he’s adapted to his game, and you’re seeing the result,” he said. Caio Borralho.

“The second thing is that he does very well against southpaws, he has a very well-developed game against southpaws, and that's something he does very well. And that was a very good game for him against Murzakanov, a very short guy who only has boxing and his left hand to catch him, while Borrachinha has a lot of those kicks. So, when you fight a boxer, the best thing is to kick his arms and legs until his hand gets tired. He deserves praise,” concluded Nerd.
