Francis Carmont vs Lorenz Larkin

Francis Carmont's 4-fight experience advantage (5 vs 1 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Francis Carmont for the expected result. Had Lorenz Larkin pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.

This was not a title fight, so both fighters received standard ELO adjustments. However, since ELO is a relative system, victories over former champions can have an indirect impact, and Title Fight ELO can differ from Basic ELO.

Francis Carmont earned a clear Decision - Unanimous, receiving full decision bonuses for controlling the fight across all rounds. Of course, a finish would have yielded even greater rewards.

Lorenz Larkin controlled the striking through superior volume (36 vs 13 total strikes), significant strike advantage (32 vs 12), superior accuracy (39.0% vs 16.0%). However, since Lorenz Larkin lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Francis Carmont's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.
