But seeing these two BCC champions and consecutive HOY winners duel in such dramatic fashion is something special. The time that is was run in was also something special.....the two dueled through fractions of 23.1 45.3 108.3 133.5 and finishing the 1 1/8 race in 1:46.

I don't think Saint Liam was nobody. He had run a good duel with Peace Rules in the NO Hdcp getting nosed out I think with Funny Cide finishing 3rd in the race. He took some time off after that. But he was certainly not nobody going into the Woodward.
