Favors SanchezWatch the first takedown attempt from Guida: whether it lands, and how expensive it looks, tells you the shape of the fight.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Guida keeps landing takedowns at 3.1 per 15 minutes; if Sanchez stays upright, the striking rates (2.7 vs 2.6 landed per minute) take over.
Three rounds only: a slow first round is expensive, and round three is often fought by whoever has the gas tank and the lead on the cards.
