      Why Raina made this pick

      Jamel Herring is the more complete striker here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 12 rounds.

      John Dodson's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 64%.

      Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Southpaw) and pace history all point to a finish around round 1.
