Real analysis. Smarter reads. A deeper understanding of the card.
The evidence points to a finishing gap (80% vs 43% 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.
