Tale of the tape
- Record: Rodrigo Sezinando 9-2-0 · Theodor Berggren 8-4-0
- Age: Rodrigo Sezinando 28 · Theodor Berggren 26
- Height: Rodrigo Sezinando 5'9" · Theodor Berggren 6'0"
- Reach: Rodrigo Sezinando 71" · Theodor Berggren 75"
- Stance: Rodrigo Sezinando Orthodox · Theodor Berggren Switch
- Listed weight: Rodrigo Sezinando 170 lbs · Theodor Berggren 171 lbs
The 4-inch reach gap in Theodor Berggren's favour (75" to 71") is the tape's headline number; it defines the range each man is working from. A reach edge of that size matters more when the longer fighter also sets the pace, and here Berggren does: 3.49 significant strikes landed per minute against 2.25 for Sezinando. Length with output behind it is how rounds get banked from the outside. Theodor Berggren is listed as a switch-stance fighter, so his lead side can change through the fight and the opponent's setups have to work in both directions.
