Francisco Prado

Picked against, with the analyst summarizing his career as consistently just a shade off from being a finished product.

Fairly capable striker packing decent pop, throwing kicks to every level with a strong head kick and a brutal leg kick, though body kicks show up less often. His glaring vulnerability is head movement -- he essentially has none, leaving his defense wide open. He's rugged and can absorb punishment, willing to trade blow-for-blow in an entertaining, high-volume brawl, but soaking up that much damage can cost him rounds on the scorecards even during exchanges he's winning on output. His Thai clinch work is strong, with solid control from that position. He runs a bit small for this weight class, genuinely straddling two divisions. Grappling-wise he's serviceable -- capable of big slams and lifting opponents off their feet to plant them down -- but he can't keep anyone pinned once the fight lands there.
