What he said.

[Barn]

Surprised with all the Duran's at Lightweight, for me it's close between Leonard or Gans with Duran closely but decisively behind.

Surprised with all the Duran's at Lightweight, for me it's close between Leonard or Gans with Duran closely but decisively behind.

I have Duran, Leonard, Gans and Ortiz locked at 1,2,3 and 4 but feel the Top 3 could easily be in any order IMO.
