NY Pro - Evan Centopani will reign supreme

[BM OUT]

I ws a fan of his when he was on the cover of MD, i Have both MD issues detailing his arm training. Impressed with him that he was a fat kid changed his ways. But he's got a wide waist like Chick, great arms, shallow chest, okay legs, and okay back. But the whole take 18 months off deal, when you have Vic, Phil, Jay, Dex, Kai, Dennis all vying wasn't the smartest thing to do. If anything he needed to get his name out, at worst it showed, he wasn't ready. And the whole, he'll be Mr. O? The man was too scared to face the pros as soon as got his pro card. Did you see that of Phil Heath who was winning right out of the gate. No, you didn't. Did you see that of Richard Jones, who is a light weight, but came in thrid at the NOC. No you didn't. I think it's a confidence thing, and his confidence was shook. I could be wrong.  As i said, he has a ton of names to thru and all are better than him structurally, including Dennis Wolf. If Alex Federov came back, Evan would have a hard time with him, and this was the guy who was billed as beating Ronnie.

i think most people are rooting for him because A.) He's white, and underneath it all, they can't stand all these black bodybuilders especially Kai. And the majority of the bbing audience is white, the majority who post here are white. So logically... B.) he's from the East coast, and it's good to see a East coaster do some damage.  

Further more, these are no longer the days of Dennis Newman, Mike Francois, Paul Demayo, who I firmly believe make Evan look like a science experiment gone wrong. They were top notch. Chris Cook had a awesome shape, yet couldn't dail it in. Alex Federov would have been scary if it were not for that torn pec and back asymmetry. Dennis Wolf is still in the cooker. he's like a larger version of Roland Czoirlok (sp)

All in all Evan BETTER DELIVER.

And no I don't feel that way, if you ever read my posts... nothing is Keeping the Black Man down, but Himself...get it straight, my parents didn't raise no whiney crybaby who blames the white man for me Failing to Achieve my Goals, only to accept the circumstances and persevere.

"Know thy shit or get shit on"


He does, and I have seen the pics, he has a wide hip girdle, and that can't be changed. That's like changing the fact that he has high calf insertions.

Im white and I will not root for Evan.However,I dont like Kai.Not because he is black,but because he is a lazy piece of crap who beat his landlord out of money to pay for bodybuilding.He sucks[!!!] as a man.So,does that make me racist?Well,my favorite bodybuilder is Ronnie Coleman,last time I checked he was black.A guy that WORKED while bodybuilding.A real man,not like Kai who is a typical Obama lazy ass, live off the government, piece of crap.

maybe he was angry because the grocery store was out of grapefruits.

[shootfighter1]

Some people don't like Kai so much because he's all over the net on gay sites, he bangs grapefruits and continues to do stripper routines at BBing shows.

Will be interesting to see Evan at his first Pro show.  Looks like he has a great physique but chest is kind of flat in the pics I've seen.

Yes,he was evicted from his apartment[and also didnt pay his phone bill]for not paying his rent while he was getting ready for shows.To paraphrase him from MD "SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO SACRIFICE TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE".Well,thats great,but what about his landlord.That guy has bills to pay,but it doesnt matter,because Kai is going to try to win a show.I cant stand that guy.

I always find it funny when he bitches about his meager past.Hey Kai,you didnt have money because you didnt work!!!I know all the Obama voters think uncle Obama will take care of them,but the idea that you cry about being poor, when you refuse to work,borders on retarded.

So, you think we should take personal issues into account when judging a physique in a physique contest?

How about the contestants submit a 500 word essay and some testimonials from people they worked with, or teachers?

It's a, little tough to know where to draw the line, material up for interpretation,  and also the little fact that no one in the IFBB is an "employee"...

Just look at the mess the Ms. California stuff is been...

I agree with you..but years ago Ben Weider, who I knew personally along with his brother (as you do yourself) seemed very concerned with the type of image that bodybuilders, especially those in the IFBB, presented to the public. Serge Nubret was banned because he did a simulated love scene in a softcore film that was probably an R rating by today's standards. Now we have IFBB pro women who display their steroid mutated genitalia in magazines and films which are easily viewed on the Internet as well. Also hardcore porn...no need to dredge up the Kai Greene thing. Thanks to Getbig, we've all seen the photos of his activities. Of course competing in a non IFBB sanctioned event is grounds for suspension, yet somehow along the way, over the years, being in hardcore porn,,dealing drugs, serving time in jail is OK? Doesn't it seem as though the IFBB dropped the ball when it comes to any kind of code of conduct?

Bullshit. They had no problem suspending a female bodybuilder back in the 80's (Pillow, was it?) for appearing in Playboy. How about Chris Duffy's ban from competition (which was later lifted) for appearing in pornographic movies?

While I was considering arguing why a bi-sexual male prostitute should not be a representative for the "sport", I realized that the effort would be futile in the the current climate with the "sport" being in it's current state.

Exactly my point....you're talking over 20 years ago with the Playboy thing, and even Duffy was in the early 90's if memory is correct. Once they (IFBB) seen that they were fighting a fight they couldn't win, and knocking on the door of the ACLU... they backed off, and we havent seen a challenge since.

While I don't necessarily agree with much of the stuff out there and the way some of the competitiors have conducted themselves, it's much tougher than people may think to keep it contained.  That said, were really talking about the small minority of men (pro's at that) that engage in such things

i would rather have kai green represent the sport than, say, dorian yates for example.

Not following your logic there. Dorian never disgraced himself in the manner Kai has.

Some athletes take it upon themselves to represent the sport as well as themselves...others only represent themselves. I wish ALL athletes would conduct themselves in a manner condusive to helping the sport progress.
