      Why Raina made this pick

      Donte Johnson is the more complete wrestler here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 3 rounds.

      Eric McConico's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 70%.

      Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a fight that reaches the judges.
