Rounds 5 to 8 mark the tactical core of this 12-round battle. After feeling each other out in the early frames, both fighters begin to show their true strategy: sharper body shots, tighter defense, smarter footwork. Fatigue starts to creep in, and every exchange becomes heavier.

Momentum shifts here. One fighter tries to dominate the center of the ring while the other looks for timing windows and counter-opportunities. This is where the chess match becomes a war of attrition.
