Why Raina made this pick
Jackson McVey is the more complete wrestler here, and the model gives that skill set the deciding weight over 3 rounds.
Wesley Schultz's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 53%.
Reach, stance (Orthodox vs Orthodox) and pace history all point to a fight that goes to the officials.
