These are my favourites. His shoulders and arms look ridiculous. When you watch the footage, Sergio looks frightening at times with some of the poses he pulls off. No wonder bodybuilders were scared to death of him.
SERGIO!!!!
WOW. Sergio's no where near his best and yet he DESTROYS Bill Pearl. What a bad decision. I wonder if that story about Sergio being rude to some kid and his dad (and the dad talking to the judges) really did screw him? Or was it his race?
if he wasn't carrying so much water he may have pulled it off, but it is plain to see (from other pics from the contest) that pearl had the greater balance and condition.
His demonstrated bias for white bodybuilders continues at every turn. Pearl's in the same condition if not worse, very smooth in fact. Dishonest not to mention that while discussing only Oliva's condition-that degree (or lack) of conditioning was common then.
Pearl completely out-muscled by Oliva-puny undefined thighs, far smaller arms & dramatically less lat width to go with a wider waist (thus far less taper) to go with a lack of definition. Pearl's only chance to win had to be based on better aesthetics, better muscle tie-ins and arguably better balance, based on the lack of outrageous size anywhere. He lost in a lot of categories, making the outcome very very questionable.
why does it always turn into a racial thing when someone doesn't agree with you?
He always goes with the white guy, then out come the weak excuses that never stand up.;)
Sergio..

Arthur Jones who was at that contest said he had inside knowledge that contest was 100% fixed by Oscar Heidenstien or whatever his name was. He also said tht Heidenstien was a schmoe.
its heidenstam...and yes he was HOMO. who prayed on bodybuilders.
