Negative read on Cortes-Acosta's KO prop. Volkov's significant strike defense holds at 53% with an 80-inch reach, making him a defensive fortress against power. Cortes-Acosta's 45% career win-by-KO rate, against a weaker strength of schedule, lacks the high-level finishing power required. Expect Volkov to leverage distance and accumulate damage. Market signal undervalues Volkov's chin and technical acumen. 85% NO — invalid if Volkov sustains early round-ending foul.
