Why the model ranks Taniguchi here

Masataka Taniguchi has faced serious names — the model scores his opposition quality at 90, elite for the division. But form is the problem: at 41, recent losses to Rene Santiago and Melvin Jerusalem drag him to #12. Low output, only 10% by knockout, keeps him grinding for decisions.
