picked Oct 20, 2025 (5 days before fight)
Nathaniel Wood
Lucrative James picks Nathaniel Wood, but admits bias as Wood is a friend. He believes Wood is the better technical striker and can win on the feet, while Delgado has power but questionable cardio and has been dropped before. He notes Delgado's only loss came via wrestling, but Wood is not a wrestler. He expects a competitive fight but leans Wood due to superior striking.
"Of course, I'm rooting for Nathan. Of course, I'm picking Nathan here. He's the better striker."

Rolando is legit on the feet. Wood nearly got knockout. Took the gas off a bit and maybe should have had it on the feet. Would bet the KO in the future. Could submit gobbers also
