It looks like you have a good base, and like Klinzar says, it's all about how you RP him. The only thing that really stuck out to me is what I quoted specifically. What is he good at predicting because of reading?
I'm going to preface this by saying I'm known to be a stickler about anything fighting oriented because of my IRL background, so anything I say is just a dose of advice and not something you have to feel pressured to adhere to.
Is it what his opponent will do next? The thing about fighting is that while it is a huge portion mental, the only real way to get on the same level as someone is having the ability to physically respond. It's a very fine balance between the mind and the body and being able to quickly try and assume what your opponent will do generally falls into two categories.
If you already have fought or know the opponent you are fighting well, then it makes sense that you would try to predict what he/she is going to do next. But just know that that isn't what makes someone good. I don't want to completely derail, so I'm not going to go into the full 'what makes a good fighter a good fighter' speech.
My point, in the end, is maybe instead use his reading for preemptive knowledge. For example, instead of prediction, he knows that Opponent A is in super weighed down armor and has an axe, he knows one of the best ways to handle them is to keep moving quickly and out of reach to try and tire out his opponent rather than trade punches. That kind of pre-knowledge would be more valuable to him in the event of a fight than being able to predict something, because prediction is not actually a huge component in fighting at all.
