THE GREAT
Orthobox boxer, long and lanky with a long reach jab but likes to fight and mix it up inside more than most light heavyweights fighters. Extremely hard to knockout, rock solid chin tough as nails won't ever give up or quit. Fights like a smaller boxer throwing up to and over 600 to 800+ punches per match. Julio was never KO'd and had only one fight stopped by the ref late in his career.
THE NOT SO GREAT
Not the fastest hands or slickest footwork. Decent splippery defense but like to go inside. Fires off punches toe to toe with keep going forward style that opens him up for a lot of unecessary shots.
