Alessandro Costa vs Kevin Borjas

Alessandro Costa's 2-fight experience advantage (4 vs 2 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Alessandro Costa for the expected result. Had Kevin Borjas pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.
