      Why Raina made this pick

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

      Rico Franco's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 78%.

      Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a finish around round 3.
