    This was so close to unanimous as to be near-boring, but just as with flyweight, the forum got it right IMO. Some good ones missing out though!

    Near Miss: There wasn't one - you need to add up all the other votes for all the other fighters in order to edge the guy who finished seventh into the eighth spot. But Joe Brown was the man who finished just outside.
    The Big Surprise: Nothing really, but maybe the dominance of the top seven was a little surprising.
    Shocking!: A tiny handful of votes for Lou Ambers.
