Congrats to them both, but I don't see either do much damage in the pro ranks. Nonetheless, congrats to them on reaching their goal.

Everybody expected him to place only because MD was hyping him up.

Defrancesco looked great but not better than Lavoie.  Side by side, he was the clear winner. The Middle weight from Mexico was closest. The pics don't do Lavoie justice.  It was close from the front but was over once he turned around.

There should be a rule change, Lavoie shouldn't be allowed to competed for the 2nd pro card after he won the 1st minutes earlier or maybe give it to the next best guy like they do in the O qualifiers when the top 2 are already qualified ???

I was there competing and I must say I was shocked that they gave the overall to Lavoie because he won a pro card already earlier in the evening. He was without a doubt, the hardest guy on stage, but he doesn't have those "show" bodyparts like shoulders and arms that make you go "wow." With that being said I do think he deserved to win because it's totally different when you're watching it live than looking at pictures. Watching it live it was clear he would win but when you look at pictures you're like wtf???

Yea, I'm like WTF?  Drew Jemmott fifth?
Somebody who was there please tell me what this guy was missing?

One guy taking two Pro cards in One show is a disgrace.
That lineup was jammed packed with others who deserved that second card, what a waste!

All that time, prep, diet to watch someone take two cards in one show, it's a DISGRACE!

It's not a disgrace...it's called a competition, and one guy happened to be the best of both classes.

If someone else "deserved it"...then THEY would have won.

Great physique, was missing conditoning.  Should do alot of damage in the future.   I'd switch 1st and 2nd in the Middle & welters but was close. thought the judging was very fair.

Why is it a  disgrace ???  there were several guys who dersevd a 2nd card but the rule only allow the best guy in the masters and open to get  a card fortunately or unfortunately one guy was both. If you mean there should be a rule against that i'd agree but until such a rule it was the right call

Njflex, I will and soon  ;) thnx bro
