Favors HokitHokit has 2 first-round finishes in the last 5 archived results — the opening minutes carry real finishing risk.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Hokit keeps landing takedowns at 3.7 per 15 minutes; if Gane stays upright, the striking rates (5.4 vs 9.3 landed per minute) take over.
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
