Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady — "Pride of Palestine" to fight fans — has built a 16-4 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Palestine's regional scene.

Volume is the weapon: 4.14 significant strikes a minute on 40% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.

Most recent outing: a win over Shem Rock via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
