    Both equally tenacious and fearless, this would be a war for the ages. Since offenses cancel each other out, the tiebreaker here is defense. Which translates to a close but hard-fought UD in Duran's favor.

    i'd slightly favour duran too and for the same reason.hammerin' henry was at his best as a lightweight and had to put weght on to get near 140lb.
    close though !!
