Title: 2009 NY Pro - Predictions for the contest
Post by: Ron on May 05, 2009, 11:50:57 AM
All right, I am going to start with some predictions and see where it takes me...  this lineup is much stronger than I thought, and probably one of the strongest NY Pro lineup in years.   I wish I was going to check out this contest.

First of all, forget the East Coast bodybuilders, I think the winner of the New York Pro show is going to be none other than Silvio Samuel, who lives here in the Los Angeles area and will continue his streak of good fortune.

Lineup: Updated May 8th...

So here goes... for the main show (changed because some went from main show to 202 and under contest)

1 - Silvio Samuel
2 - Evan Centopani
3 - Marcus Ruhl
4 - Dennis James
5 - Darrem Charles
6 - Hidetada Yamagishi
7 - Ben White
8 - Sergey Selestov
9 - Tarek Elsetouhi
10 - Paco Bautista

For the 202lbs and under show..

1 - David Henry
2 - Ed Correa
3 - Fakhri Mubarak
4 - Kevin English
5 - Mark Dugdale
6 - Jason Arntz
7 - Jose Raymond
8 - Vinny Galanti
9 - Giles Bellehumeur


Keep in mind that the competitors have to choose one or the other, they CANNOT compete in both shows like they did last year, which means that David Henry is choosing to be in the 202lbs and under contest instead of the main show.


What do you think?

Only one of those drug abusers I am remotely interested in is Markus.  He should win the show but probably won't for political reasons.

1- Evan Centopani
2- Silvio Samuel

Silvio will be more complete, but a lot smaller.  If Evan's condition is poor, he'll be 4th or worse.  

Personally, I see Ruhl and David henry as being the guys to watch in this show.  

it will come down to this... do the judges want this to be another non-eventful Silvio win?  Or will it be the coronation of potential Olympia contender Centopani?

My guess is that they'd love to see Centopani come in ripped and win this show... turn the results into a STORY, and not just another resume-filling win for Silvio, who always shows in good shape but has reached his ceiling.  Evan is a story, and I think if all else is close he'll win it.

He has never had a problem with his condition, although he is working with a new guy this time.



Ron isn't Henry doing the 202?

I dont think so, he has a chance to be in the top three at this show, and qualify for the Olympia.  With the 202lbs and under, he has already proven he is the best 202lb and under right now, but he can make that decision when they weigh in, I think.

Same with Kevin English...

How can so many people put a first time pro competitor (EVAN) ahead of seasoned pros and top  Olympia competitors (Henry 10th and Hide 13th)  Not to bash the guy but I want to see what the guy can bring to a pro stage before placing the title of heir apparent on him.  It has been more then 19 months from last he did anything.

The NY show has historically favoured the freaks.  Even if Silvio would beat him at the Olympia, the reverse will likely take place in New York.  Remember, Branch Warren beat Dennis Wolf there in 2007.

This show is going to be great - I think the lineup is the best its been in years.  I don't see anyone beating Ruhl based on his guestposing footage.  He dwarfs everyone!  He looks really complete, I just hope he can nail his conditioning.

Silvio is always great and don't under estimate Dennis James!  I am excited to see Evan and would like to see him in the top 5.  We need some "Dorian" like conditioning and he is expected to deliver it!

Lonnie Tepers Blog from 05-12-09 -

(http://www.ironmanmagazine.com/blogs/lonnie/wp-content/uploads/yogiglasses.jpg)

Man, this is a lot tougher than I imagined. Trying to pick the cream of the crop at this weekend’s New York Pro, both in the main event and in the 202 and under, is tantamount to selecting between Megan Fox, Julianne Hough and Jessica Alba for your date on New Year’s Eve.

But, when have “The Experts” ever back off from a rugged assignment? The Swami, Isaac “Hardbody” Hinds and Ron “Yogi” Avidan, wanting to prove, once again, they are the most distinguished trio in the industry when it comes to handicapping contests, didn’t hesitate when asked by their legions of fans worldwide to call the shots at the Big Apple this weekend.

And, Hinds really showed some huevos (that stands for testicles in Yiddish, or Spanish, or German, I think) by really going out on a limb this time around, picking Darrem Charles to topple what is probably the best field promoter Steve Weinberger has produced in years!

Not only that, but “Hardbody (named after his website, not his hardbody) kept right on going, tabbing Eduardo Correa to best David Henry in the 202 and under, and puts Kevin English, last year’s winner, in fifth! Isaac wins my respect right here and now with his bold prognostications.

We call ‘em as we see ‘em, although a lot of folks claim we need thicker glasses to clear up our clouded vision. Actually, that’s why I borrowed Yogi’s for this difficult assignment.
Enjoy.

If Dennis show up looking like he is capable of, which doesn't happen very often he will destroy Silvio. I think he is way overrated. Evan has a much better structure as well IMO.

I dont think so, he has a chance to be in the top three at this show, and qualify for the Olympia.  With the 202lbs and under, he has already proven he is the best 202lb and under right now, but he can make that decision when they weigh in, I think.

Same with Kevin English...



make up your mind  ::)

I think it was 2 years ago at ny pro

paco was not the best, but was the most shockingly impressive

I could not believe the size of his arms

but I do not think he placed

It was the year Branch (undeservedly) won

I think it was also the year Chick won masters...but that may have been the year before

After 19974 posts you seem to run out of creativity. Perhaps you could read a book or see a therapist.

name a bodypart that Ben White is missing?




No weak spots. Ben has dramatically improved since last year. Put on some serious muscle mass. He will impress people.

Mula was very known in here Spain.
He won a mejor spanish title called Fitform around 2000.

But right after that,according to rumour, he will disappear because of being arrested for the bulk sales of Cocaine.

So I will be surprised if he can enter US. Lets see.
