Real analysis. Smarter reads. A deeper understanding of the card.
The evidence points to a volume gap (2.3 vs 4.4 strikes per minute) and a finishing gap (33% vs 68% of archived wins); that is the read to test in the first five minutes.

The middle rounds belong to whoever sets the pace: Cerrone averages 4.4 landed per minute to Till at 2.3, so Till needs the counters to land clean (46% 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.
