      Why Raina made this pick

      Denis Goltsov is the more complete all-rounder here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 3 rounds.

      Maxwell Djantou Nana's clearest path is forcing grappling exchanges and stealing rounds from top position - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 60%.

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