Cellan's strengths stood out right away. His boxing was crisp, powerful, and fast.
Damon could tell that Gustalam's left hand was particularly lethal, a weapon he used with pinpoint precision.
He didn't just throw punches; he threw them with an intent to finish.
This skill, paired with his speed and agility, made him a menace at close range, and he could close the distance on taller opponents with impressive footwork, something that Damon would have to be cautious of.
Then there was Gustalam's wrestling background.
The guy knew how to mix up his game, shooting for takedowns when his opponents least expected it, using his wrestling both offensively and defensively.
He could keep an opponent guessing, constantly shifting between strikes and takedowns.
Damon respected that versatility, knowing it could disrupt his own rhythm if he didn't stay sharp.
