      Why Raina made this pick

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

      Lucas Fernando's clearest path is landing early power before the fight settles - a live route, which is why confidence sits at 75%.

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