Prefers to fight at distance, doubling up the jab and following with a right hand

Weakness: Can struggle in close quarters under pressure

Recent wins: Steven Nelson (UD), Maciej Sulecki (KO6), Shawn McCalman (UD)

Trevor McCumby

Aggressive puncher with solid inside game

Weakness: Overcommits offensively, leaving openings for counters

Has fought just four times since 2018, but carries veteran savvy

Key Tactical Notes

Pacheco will aim to keep McCumby at range and control tempo with his jab

McCumby must close distance and make it a phone-booth fight to disrupt Pacheco’s rhythm

Expect McCumby to be dangerous early, especially in rounds 1–4

McCumby will likely press early, hoping to replicate his success against Plant. But Pacheco’s reach, footwork, and composure should allow him to weather the storm and take control by the middle rounds. Expect a competitive start, followed by a tactical shift.
