Song Yadong

Rated the clearly superior pure boxer but still picked against, a straightforward call favoring the opponent's kicking range and grappling paths instead.

Fighting on home turf with a high-volume, fast-handed boxing style that's rated the best pure boxing on the card, though he has shown a real vulnerability to sharp counter-punchers.

Picked as a pure prediction distinct from betting value -- the analyst explicitly says the opponent carries the betting value here, while picking this fighter on output and a likely travel/fatigue edge.

A striker with good movement and plenty of volume -- the real strength is being the more active fighter, likely winning more minutes on output alone, though he's genuinely open to counters, a live risk against a heavy hitter. Good power too, works the body, quick hands. Good grappler as well -- decent takedowns he likely won't need much here, and very, very good scrambles specifically, attributed to a strong training-camp background -- his best skill on the mat, useful since his priority is getting back to his feet rather than staying down. Good, not great, takedown defense.
