Why Raina made this pick
Vladimer Khinchegashvili is the more complete all-round wrestler here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 2 periods.
Jesse Mendez's clearest path is chaining takedowns and building points from top position - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 70%.
Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a match that goes to the officials.
