Phil won every pose in every round.
In my opinion, Kai could have come out here with Ronnie's physique and he was getting straight 2's.
Eh, I dunno about that, m'man. Kai had his strong points and Phil wasn't at his very best, but as you said, Phil won every pose in every round (well, almost).
Take the back double-biceps. Kai is wicked there. But his mid/lower traps ... WTF?! SMALL opposite the rest of his back. It throws off the whole flow. Phil's back is very equally developed.
And then there's the way Kai does his most-musculars. His traditional "crab" pose sucks grapefruit juice straight up a schome's ass.
I'm convinced had Ronnie circa '98-'01, then '03-'05 (and maybe 2006, which I thought he should've won anyway), walked out on that stage, Phil would've run crying for mommy after the first round. He is good. I actually think he catches WAY too much shit at Getbig, especially for that stupid narrow clavicle/chest shit. But even an 80% Ronnie, out of nowhere? The judges would give it to the Colemanator. That's essentially what they did in '98, when they expected to crown Flex or Nasser but Ronnie whipped both their asses.
