      Why Raina made this pick

      Brian Newman is the more complete striker here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 10 rounds.

      Mark Culp's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 66%.

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