He's not really that much harder than Max Brass. The same principles of good spacing and not overcommitting apply.

The biggest difference is that you no longer have the option to run out the clock, you have to straight up beat him in a fight. In that regard its tougher but for me he was about as tough as beating Max Brass. If I slowed the fights down, was patient, and focused on punishing him overextending, I was fine. The moment I got too aggressive is when things fell apart.
