Favors GaneTitle-fight nerves are real: the first round often decides who is willing to lead.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Gane averages 5.4 landed per minute to Lewis at 2.4, so Lewis needs the counters to land clean (48% accuracy on record).
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
