Real analysis. Smarter reads. A deeper understanding of the card.
The evidence points to a volume gap (4.1 vs 2.1 strikes per minute) and a finishing gap (88% vs 50% of archived wins); that is the read to test in the first five minutes.
The stored career numbers do not draw a sharp contrast between these two, which usually means the fight is decided by adjustments rather than a single dominant phase.

Favors FranklinRead the first two minutes for who is willing to lead and who is countering; the stored numbers do not flag a lopsided early-round finisher.
The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Franklin averages 4.1 landed per minute to Okami at 2.1, so Okami needs the counters to land clean (38% accuracy on record).
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.
