Analysis: Maddalena's boxing defense proved inadequate against Prates

A detailed breakdown reveals Джак Делла Маддалена relied heavily on boxing-style blocking during his fight with Карлос Пратес, which proved ineffective against Prates' diverse striking arsenal of kicks, elbows, and knees. Maddalena fought primarily in southpaw stance, despite his left leg having been damaged in his previous fight with Белал Мухаммад. Prates attacked Maddalena's left side with middle kicks, leaving it visibly red by the second round. The analyst suggests Maddalena needed to be more aggressive and work at close range to have a chance, but Prates' confidence, power, and diverse striking angles made him too dangerous. Prates is described as a combination of Алекс Перейра and Андерсон Силва in terms of his striking versatility.
