Only difference is that his offensive mindset opens him up more to his opponents.

True, but it is getting him where he wants to be. When it comes to this great sport, you have to have a balance. We all know that the smaller divisions get the least attention so you have to have the balance of excitement and strategy. Mexican fighters are not loud mouthed or extroverts. Well, the majority of them don't seem to be so it isn't in them to promote themselves outside of the ring to get people interested in watching them fight. I think Rafa has learned from his brother's career. Juan Manuel has been an elite counter puncher for the majority of his life and that style has stunted his career growth. Even though both brothers have recently lost big fights, the way the fought them still elevated them to new heights. They lost, but they also won.
