i havnt posted in the other threads as the decision was fairly easy,but this one was tough imo.pagans change is impressive and his condition is top notch there,but forddee is just unreal,from looking fairly untrained imho to nearing contest ready(you do compete iirc)

Pagan just edges it for me.

Tip the cap of respect to forddee for a sterling effort, very very hard to separate the 2 IMO.

Absolutely amazing all of you. Was a tight one to judge.

I have gone for the one who looks like he's made the best progress, not the one who necessarily looks the best after
