[Royalty]

Ben White has chance to get redemption against Leo Ingram for beating him at 2006 North Americans.

Im guesssing Leo will beat Ben again

[DUTCH]

alright knuckleheads, your leaving charles dixon in his pro debut. i can't say anything about anyone else, cause i haven't seen them but charles is looking awesome and tight and will be at the top of the 202 class.  and for someone who has very few flaws, and only gets tighter and better everytime he gets onstage (and i've been around the short guy since he started) he is going to be very tough to beat. i've seen enough pro's to know their level, but from my stand point charles is the one to beat. again not knocking anyone else's and i know a few of the competitors. but you shoud not leave this guy out of your list

Leo Ingrahm is the one to watch out for.  If he worked that film off his abdominals from his last outtings, of course.
