Craig said he won't be fighting the way he did against Oezdemir, but it's kinda similar. Just not as bad as that fight

Looking pretty much like we all expected.  Caio is not gonna play to Craig strenght at all. Would like him to be a little more technical

His reaction time is really bad. It's like he doesn't train on striking defence at all

I guess round one for Caio for some good jabs, but honestly neither guy had much damaging offense yet. Craig got stunned by a couple jabs so Caio takes it.

Easy money for Borralho. Craig really needs to train on his striking defence. My goodness
