By watching him, I feel the following:

1) He has a limited number of techniques.
2) If he is held still, he is almost certain to loose after a minutes
deadlock.
3) If he looses a match, he seems to loose enthusiasm. If he had a
unbroken run on the last day he would be fantastic.

Just some thoughts...
