Jason Sosa is no cherry pick, but in no way is he as skillful of a defensive fighter as Vasyl Lomachenko. He tends to drop his hands often and let his hands fly too much at times.

In order to assure this does not happen, Hi-Tech must unleash his most powerful combinations through counterpunches.

He must be willing to trade at times in order to force Sosa to think twice about letting his hands fly.
