"Steven Asplund’s extreme output and finishing efficiency provide a clear statistical advantage over Guilherme Pat, whose low volume suggests he will be overwhelmed. Asplund's 6 KO wins in 7 victories demonstrate the fight-ending capability required to overcome the defensive volatility of this heavyweight matchup."

What Everyone Misses

The massive disparity in offensive volume; Asplund averages 10.05 sig-strikes/min compared to Pat's 2.7, which at the heavyweight level is a significant indicator of who will dictate the pace and force the other to fight off the back foot.
