El Gallo Negro
Kevin Borjas
Career overview
Kevin Borjas, fighting out of an orthodox stance at 125 pounds, carries a 10-5-0 professional record marked by inconsistency across his recent six-fight stretch (2W-4L). "El Gallo Negro" is primarily a volume striker who lands 3.96 strikes per minute with 44% accuracy while absorbing 5.64 strikes per minute and defending at just 49%—metrics that underscore a high-output, high-risk approach. He does not rely on takedowns (0% accuracy) or submissions (0.0 average per 15 minutes), instead building fights around striking exchanges, though his modest cardio score of 54.3 raises durability questions over extended rounds.
Recent performances have been turbulent: Borjas defeated Ronaldo Rodriguez via unanimous decision in March 2025 but suffered knockout losses to Alessandro Costa (May 2024, round two) and Imanol Rodriguez (February 2026, round two), sandwiched around decision defeats to Joshua Van and Sumudaerji. His 7.5 knockout score suggests he carries respectable finishing power despite the recent setbacks.
With a 70% takedown defense rate, Borjas has proven capable of staying upright, but his striking defense and tendency to absorb damage remain critical vulnerabilities that opponents continue to exploit effectively.
