      Why Raina made this pick

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

      Kevin Borjas's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 68%.

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