Reading this record

Jonathan Lebrun is recorded at 13–4–1, with 7 of those 13 wins ending by knockout. Modern-era figures are the more dependable ones on this site: WLC and MTLF cards are sanctioned and their results published, so these numbers can be checked against event results rather than oral history.

54% of those wins came inside the distance, which ranks 17th of the 29 profiled fighters with a documented record. That sits in the middle band of the roster — a fighter who finishes when the opening appears but is equally accustomed to going the full distance.

Jonathan Lebrun is one of 6 fighters profiled at welterweight, and fights orthodox, as 28 of the 32 profiled fighters do.

Jonathan Lebrun is listed as active, so this record is a snapshot rather than a final tally.
