Choi’s 5 significant strikes landed per minute, compared with Pitbull’s 2.77, is the deciding number and drives the model’s 82% decision lean. Choi wins scorecards through higher output and 55% accuracy, while Pitbull’s clearest route is to use his 1.26 takedowns per 15 minutes against Choi’s 59% takedown defence. Pitbull needs to reduce the 4.61 significant strikes he absorbs per minute to keep the rounds close. In round one, watch whether Pitbull turns to takedowns before Choi establishes his striking volume.
