Here is the Mr. O Pre-Judging -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=830nlAer-bs

After pre-judging I think it's...

1 - Curry - Not as tight as I had hoped. Hopefully he can tighten up a bit before the finals
2 - Choopan - Conditioning is great! He is dense!!
3 - Bonac - Off and his back is really lacking.
4 - Roelly - He really missed conditioning.

I thought Williams looked incredible...……..but what do I know.....?

His issue is his ab area (front and sides). If he could just tighten up in that department he would jump up a few places. He has thicker skin so doesn't look as crisp/hard as some of the others but I 100% agree with you.

One guys that isn't big enough but I thought looked incredible was Patrick Moore and they have him in the last call out. I would have had him in the top 6 as so many are off.

I didn't realize Kamal Elgargni the 212 winner is 48 years old. Deserved winner even if Lunsford came back strong for the night show.

Yea, I agree with bio and E on their posts. I think Bonac has a good RDB pose, but the other back poses, I think Hadi has him mostly everywhere else.

The top 3 were so close, it will come down to tonight and who improved, or who lost their conditioning. I didn't have Kuclo in the top 3, but as the night went on, he got better....will that happen tonight? I don't know. He is thin on the back, and if the others improve their conditioning, he could slip in my opinion. I had him in front of Roelly last night, but i'd be surprised if Roelly doesn't shed some of the water he was holding. If not, and Kuclo stays the same, I give it to Steve for 4th.

For Dexter, I think he will improve, and if he does, he could place anywhere if the others are off. So he could improve from a 5/6 spot a few imo, but it will depend on the others. I don't have him in the top 3 if the others bring it.

Bonac, I agree with E, he just has a sub-optimal blocky mid-section compared to Hadi and Curry. It's a guessing game with this guy. How is he going to react to the 24 hours after prejudging, does he know what to do to make slight improvements without a coach? The guy has freaky genetics that allows him to probably get away with sub-optimal stuff....well from what I gathered. Then again, maybe he is a mad scientist and an undercover smart dude and hides it, lol. If he stays the same, I have him top 3. Again, it will be decided on who shows up tonight.

Curry, I had him maybe with a slight advantage. How will he look tonight? If Hadi improves, will it be enough to beat a Curry who looks the same or slightly off? Will the limiting factor be Curry's hams? So much to anticipate:)

Hadi. I didn't buy into the hype and thought he'd be dwarfed, but this guy is the real effin' deal. Glad the hype panned-out. I don't know, but I have a strange feeling, he will come in better tonight. Just a BMJ feeling...which doesn't mean shit, lol.

Roelly was a HUGE disappointment. His lack of conditioning (or holding water?) made his quads and sweep look very bad. Just goes to say you can't go by a sunken in face. Maybe they messed something up the last day after those pics? I welcome to see what he looks like if he drops some water! Poor guy, i'm judging his ass, and i'm a nobody:eek:

Like I said at ProM, I felt Cedric should have been in the top 6...but maybe I missed something. I would have really liked to see him stand next to Roelly to get a comparison, or even next to Kuclo.

Akim/Achim (sp), he looked phenomenal. I think he brought it. I don't have him top 5, but he surprised me, very good job. I wonder what he'll look like tonight?

I'm just rambling. I never post much on Olympia's or contests, as I don't compete, and am not there in person to see for myself.

Every year the open guys struggle to get in shape. Why do you guys think that is? I had Hadi winning as he was the most conditioned. I was impressed with Akim and Patrick.

I enjoyed it. He was the frontrunner from the start. No surprise he won but I did expect more. I gave Dallas McCarvor a thought when watching the show. I am curious how he would have faired if he was still alive.
