• Analyzing Defensive Styles in Top Fighters

    Defensive systems in elite combat sports are fascinating to analyze. Some fighters are primarily elusive (Lomachenko's footwork-based avoidance), others are volume-based (just take less damage than you deal), and some use elite blocking and parrying (Floyd's shoulder roll). Each philosophy has trade-offs in terms of energy expenditure, long-term health impact, and effectiveness against different opponent styles.
