Technical Overview
Felix Caraballo fights like a classic Puerto Rican should—such as the greats—Trinidad, Cotto, and Gómez. His jab is short and stiff, not thrown to decorate, but to sting and break rhythm. He’ll jab high to pull your guard up, then dip low and fire a straight shot to your ribs. Every punch has a reason.
His footwork isn’t for photography. It’s front-foot pressure, cutting off angles with slow, sure steps. He keeps his base strong, always ready to punch, always pushing the pace. He moves to trap, not to dance.
His power shows in the way he commits to bodywork. Like the greats—he digs in deep, rips shots under the elbows, and throws long straights to the gut. His combos often start with something high and end with something brutal down low. It’s punishing, built to break opponents over rounds.
Defensively, he keeps things simple. High hands, elbows tucked, chin down. He absorbs, rides punches, and stays in punching range. He doesn’t panic under pressure. Instead, he leans in and answers with his shots.
His whole approach is rooted in pride. Not just personal, but cultural. He fights like someone carrying his island on his back. Quiet, aggressive, no wasted movement. There’s a sharpness to it—a need to prove himself every round. The Puerto Rican style lives in Caraballo. Walk you down. Beat the air out of your lungs. Wear you out with smart, heavy hands—straight shots to the body like a shotgun.
