Melvin Anthony 4th in Atlantic City
« on: September 16, 2007, 11:04:17 AM »
Chic predicted Melvin wouldn't peak for the AC, he was right.  Melvin looked good, but you can tell he didn't pull out all the stops. While you gotta admire his focus on the O, doesn't it make you a little reminiscent of the days when a guy would win show after show?  Flex Wheeler or Levrone come to mind.  Guys who would turn pro, enter whatever contest was up ahead, and just win the shit out of them.  I guess Melvin knows what he's doing tho.

Melvin is way better than what he showed in AC, so you have to assume he didn't go all-out for this show so as to peak for the O.  It begs the question, though, why do this show at all?

He digged his own (Olympia-)grave by doing the Atlantic....loosing against 3 guys who usually place lower than him at the Olympia. Now he is worth less than them on the market and will also place most likely behind them at the Big O. Should have skipped this fukkin worthless show, but I bet he knows that now himself.

WOOO

Probably the Muscletech contract. I don't think Melvin is taking it too hard and is using this as an Olympia tune-up.

Chick has said many times that he wants to see the big names compete more often.

Melvin gave the man what he wanted

he made what, 2 grand at the show?  he got coverage.  he got the rust knocked off. he got a gauge for the O.  He had some fun.  Did his cupp company good by showing.  nobody remember who wins these little shows anyway in a month.  he knows he could have done the show, the other 3 guys were off, and he'd steal ten grand.  why not give it a shot?
