American Clayton Carpenter is taller than most fighters in the flyweight category, but his fighting style is not based on boxing. Instead, he relies on fighting techniques. Carpenter doesn’t often hit from a distance, but it’s always pretty accurate. He does not rely on footwork, as statistics show that he spends a significant amount of time on the court grappling with his opponents.
In contrast, his opponent Lucas Rocha is a skilled striker, equally adept with his hands and feet. Rocha’s main goal is to target his opponent’s head, and he actively avoids takedowns and fighting in the stalls.
Despite Rocha’s impressive 6-win streak, he has not fought in a year. This may give Carpenter an advantage, as his tactics are likely to bring him success in this fight. The long break may also affect Rocha’s performance.
