Ramon Taveras

He gives a specific decision score for Jenkins, but immediately concedes he would not be surprised by an early finish going the other way off the exact counter he just described as Taveras's best tool.

A good striker with fast hands and a laser cross built specifically to counter leg kicks, which he is expected to land on Jenkins at least once. He also uses front chokes as his takedown defense.

Commits to Taveras twice, specifically citing Grant's age and long layoff as the deciding factor, then adds that a Grant win over him here would not be shocking -- a real conceded path left unrebutted.

The board rates him a solid striker: fast hands and a signature cross used both to counter leg kicks and to counter while moving forward, plus a body kick once an opponent starts boxing. No real grappling tape exists on him beyond a front-choke takedown-defense look, so that phase is simply unproven rather than graded. Picked to win mainly because the analyst sees Grant's age/layoff as too large a liability to overlook.

He gives a specific, unhedged mechanism: Sidey is the superior grappler and will get the fight to the floor, and he explicitly separates this call from the result of their prior meeting.

Ramon Taveras is a very good Southpaw boxer with fast hands who counters leg and body kicks with a cross and does not chase opponents to the ground after a counter, instead working them back to their feet; he mixes in heavy body kicks once an opponent is occupied with his hands. His grappling arsenal is explicitly limited to a quick but low-quality guillotine.
