[armageto]

The reign ends for Duran. Hats off to Leonard. It was an even fight going into the last round, but a 10-7 15th round doomed me. One of the better opening season and championship runs in recent memory. Hopefully we get a rematch down the line if Leonard still hold the belt.

['Frilla]

Not the way we wanted to win but what can ya do? Accidental headbutts are a bitch.

[Crease]

Duran lost!

I was going to start taking bets about this seemingly eternal reign of his.

Duran was a great champion, it was a hellvua run !

Wow Canzoneri pulls it off after coming in undertrained and he was losing the fight
