At #10 in the middleweight rankings, Christian Leroy Duncan — "CLD" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 10 KO/TKO wins, 4.45 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 79" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The form line is loud: 5 straight wins, the latest over Jared Cannonier (Decision - Unanimous). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
