Jose Delgado vs Nathaniel Wood

Nathaniel Wood's 10-fight experience advantage (13 vs 3 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Nathaniel Wood for the expected result. Had Jose Delgado 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.

Nathaniel Wood 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.

Jose Delgado controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (141 vs 101 total strikes), significant strike advantage (134 vs 99), 1 knockdown. However, since Jose Delgado lost the overall fight, his striking superiority couldn't be converted into ELO bonuses. Nathaniel Wood's positive striking ELO reflects the overall victory rather than striking dominance.

Nathaniel Wood landed 1 knockdown followed by 4 ground strikes. Few ground strikes after a knockdown do not qualify for major ground ELO bonus.

Nathaniel Wood demonstrated standard activity with 217 days since his last fight, earning a small activity bonus for reasonable scheduling. As the winner, Nathaniel Wood capitalized on this activity level, while Jose Delgado's 119-day layoff didn't factor into the scoring since only winners receive activity bonuses.

Nathaniel Wood extended his 3-fight win streak, earning a momentum bonus. Jose Delgado is back at 0 with this loss.

This category provides the foundation ELO scoring without bonuses, except for exceptional multiple division champions.
