2019 Olympia - Classic Physique - Chris Bumstead vs. Breon Ansley

[The Abdominal Snoman]

They definitely pushed Bumstead through. He's a very likable guy not unlike Regan Grimes. But imop he didn't beat the 2 time classic champ. However it's irrelevant. They just go back and forth each year on who has a better social media connection...

[TTfit]

Bumstead was not the best up there but he's the current "hyped" up all over social media boy who will promote the shit out of this division; hence the undeserved win.

Apparently he's a total guy outside of his " look at me look at me" act.

Guys like Cedric showing up clearly out of shape, not giving a fuck, is dragging the open down.

[illuminati]

Look at that stage? They skimped big time. Looks like the old days when they held it in some speaker hall.   Did they spend $200 on the trim that is falling off ?

True it does look cheap
Though they Did up The Prize £ - That’s Good For The competitors

breon should have won.

Calm down Wiggs, its not the first questionable call in BB history, always going to be there, I think George looked better than them all.

i was thinking along the same lines, but chris did not deserve first at all.

A lot of the classic guys are so close to each other, you just basically flip a coin. No rhyme nor reason to pic one over the other. Just looked at one of last place finishers and he doesn't look bad at all. Not much of a difference between him and the top (unless muscular development just has great pics of him).

Bumstead looked a 1000x better than the first two years he competed. Looked very disproportionate/was gifted 2nd place previously.

[Ronnie Rep]

George Peterson looked pretty amazing...

He ain't classic. Should be in 212.

good for Chris - taller build finally wins!!!

chris works hard and his build is amazing.

bodybuilding is part popularity contest/beauty contest. besides the front double bicep

ask the Wieder brothers -

Arnold and Jay are deserving Champions but the if it is close... guys like Arnold and Jay are the "champs"  big smile, can sell tickets and sell the dream... 

[jude2]

He ain't classic. Should be in 212.

Agreed.

[Ron]

Breon, backstage, after placing second, was a class act. That interview should be going up soon. 

That being said, a lot of talk between if Breon should have retained his title over Chris.

It will be a good rematch coming up for next year...

Yes, just a shame his senile coach Cormier wasn't as much of a class act

You can take Cormier out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of that classless Hebrew!!!!
