MarQuel Mederos by Decision, 68% confidence
Padilla shows strong offensive numbers with high striking and takedown accuracy, but his 0% takedown defense and low striking defense are major red flags against a cleaner, more defensively sound striker like Mederos. Mederos has the reach edge, better strike differential, and 90% takedown defense, which should allow him to keep the fight standing and exploit Padilla's defensive gaps over three rounds. Unless Padilla can consistently wrestle through that initial layer of takedown defense, Mederos' range management and defensive efficiency should carry him on the cards.
