Highlighted rows mark a meaningful factual difference, not an advantage. Unpublished values stay unpublished.
Swanson holds a 5-inch reach edge (70" to 65"); Lobov has to cross distance to land, and opposite stances open the lead-side lane.
Favors SwansonSwanson has been finished 3 times in the archive and absorbs 4 strikes per minute; Lobov has never been stopped in the stored record.
Favors LobovSwanson has 2 archived five-round fights to Lobov’s 1; championship rounds are familiar territory for one side.
Favors SwansonWho sets the range in round one: Swanson holds the longer reach, so early success for the shorter fighter usually requires feints and fast entries.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Swanson averages 4.8 landed per minute to Lobov at 3.5, so Lobov needs the counters to land clean (41% accuracy on record).
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
