The Read
Style, strengths, and defining traits.
Basharat is a composed bantamweight built more on control than chaos. The unbeaten record is not padded with wild finishing variance; it is mostly decisions and back takes, which fits a fighter who manages range well, keeps opponents off rhythm and forces them to work through his pace.
Basharat built his lead with low kicks, takedowns and top control, while Garza defended several later takedowns and found success in the final round. The judges scored it 30–27, 30–27 and 29–28 for Basharat.
