Louis Cosce

Graded against this corner, and lean rather than clear because the chapter keeps his route wide open. The analyst gives him two explicit ways to win, says the right-handed one is his opponent's 'kryptonite' and the way the opponent's last two fights ended, then never rebuts it -- he strengthens it, adding that the follow-up ground work might not even be required. He also recommends backing this corner outright for anyone shopping at a long price, and that recommendation sits in the sentence immediately before the pick, which is price-as-premise and demotes. The pick sentence against him is bare, but its support is softened: the opponent is expected only to 'have success' at range, and the positive evidence cited for the opponent comes from a fight the opponent lost. The objection is standing when the chapter ends, so the grade is capped at lean. Not coinflip: the analyst does assert a preferred side firmly and never tells viewers to skip this fight.

The underdog in the analyst's read of this welterweight bout and the man he picks against -- but with a route spelled out in detail. At five-nine against six feet he has to fight inside to reach his two assets, which the analyst names as knockout power and aggressive wrestling. The hook is that his right hand matches the exact pattern that has ended his opponent's last two fights, and the analyst suspects the follow-up on the mat may prove unnecessary. He is therefore endorsed as a reasonable wager at a price even though the pick goes the other way, with the analyst asking viewers which of the two paths they think lands.
