Morgan Charriere

Even while calling Charriere probably the technically cleaner striker of the two, the analyst still commits firmly to the other guy and closes with an unhedged 'all day' read on how it ends if the fight hits the mat, which reads as a clear lean against him rather than a genuine toss-up.

Charriere sits at 3-2 across his last five, a record the analyst folds in right alongside Lima's despite an early stumble in attributing it. He views Charriere as probably the more technically polished striker of the two, praising crisp, clean pocket boxing, sharp counters, real forward pressure, and pop on his punches, plus a chin that generally holds up over a fight. His clearest knock is inconsistent output -- volume that comes and goes, which the analyst singles out as the one thing he doesn't like about the striking. Grappling is decent but situational, mostly used as a change-of-pace takedown when the standup exchange isn't breaking his way. Despite rating him the cleaner boxer, the analyst still expects Lima's damage and grappling to win out.
