Ankalaev has 2 archived five-round fights to Guskov’s 0; championship rounds are familiar territory for one side.
Favors Ankalaev3.5 and 3.6 significant strikes per minute: similar output, so accuracy (52% vs 56%) decides the exchanges.

With the stored numbers close, the middle rounds come down to adjustments: who solves the opening read first, with strike defense at 55% and 46%.
