I totally agree! Melvin was way behind Toney and Hide in legs and hardness.

Don't agree, tony was holding some water and legs had a bit of that water-logged look. Although he was much bigger and still looked ok. I think it was pretty close overall

I agree with all of this. Liberatore got raped. And Toney seemed better than Melvin.

where any of you at the show, I was.  Melvin was the most complete, best back and most muscular.  Toney has no MM pose, his conditioning was off.  Take a look.

Thousands of pics here, including comparisons.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2010-phoenix-pro.htm


First of all, it was close to a lot of people.  Many had Hidetada winning the contest, including Jay Cutler.  Others had Melvin as the close winner, and still others thought Toney Freeman was the overall winner, lacking in some parts, holding water, but still the winner.

Debates were still raging on Sunday morning at the hotel.

Still, congratulation to Melvin for coming into this show, working hard, and earning the victory.

Music was definately a problem at this contest, including replaying Lady Gaga's Bad Romance song over and over, which is now in my head for the last 2 days.  I heard that the music person running the CDs decided not to work at the show, which perhaps was the problem for a new person (inexperience). 

As for the results, there are always complainers.

Here is the scorecard results

How hard can it be to DJ a show, or stick music in?

Supposedly someone had the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" stuck in their head for so long that they had to have brain surgery to stop it.  :-X  Not sure if it's true though since I see no reference to it on the internet.

A blind man could see that Hide should've won.

Freeman looked like nothing special.

Hide's placing was payback for him taking a drug bust for higher ups and keeping his mouth shut
