Tampa Pro - Ben White wins! Bob loses the bet!

[Ron]

Congratulations to Ben White for defying all odds and beating an incredible looking Troy Alves to capture the title.  Ben White, Troy Alves and Johnnie Jackson are all going to the 2010 Mr. olympia to compete.

I remember a bet that Bob Cicherillo did saying that Ben white won't even make the top five, and that Darrem Charles was going to win this contest.

Hmmm.....

If there's two things you can count on they are whatever Bob or Ron say on contest picKs, don't put any money on it.

Why?  Have you seen the pictures?  He looks awesome.

Why?  Have you seen the pictures?  He looks awesome.

Correct. He was 20 plus pounds heavier, fuller, great condition. Troy looked sick, with some outstanding condition to be fair, was a toss of a coin between the 2. Ben looked spot on!!

[TRIX]

also ben has a giant head

talk about potential, Sick lines

Talk about smooth, no legs, no calves, no thickness, and tough overhyped by a major sponsor and taking 2 years off not being able to crack the Top 5 in a 3rd tier show.

I beg to differ with your assessment, except for the "smooth" part. That pretty much killed it for Curry.

Great job!! Now, is White actually going to compete in the Olympia? Or is he still doing that "World's Strongest Bodybuilder" thing against Stan Efferding (BTW, did Efferding compete in this show? White referred to him as a "powerlifter who occasionally competes in bodybuilding shows, usually placing in the top 17, if he's lucky").

Can he do both, per IFBB rules? I know how Draconian they can be, regarding letting people compete in multiple Olympia events. They banned the 202-guys from doing the open Olympia after 2008, when Kevin English and Dave Henry did both (Earlier that year, English won the 202 at the NY Pro and placed second to Kai Greene in the overall. Rumor had it that English actually got MORE MONEY than Greene, by doing that; hence, we have the ban).

Back in the day, they banned Masters Olympia competitors from doing the regular Olympia after 1995 (when the late Sonny Schmidt won the Masters and placed 13th in the regular O).

I hope the IFBB lets White do both contests (WSBB and Mr. Olympia). But, based on the history I just mentioned, I wouldn't bet on it.

right on point..............good thing he convinced his sponsors he needed two years off to come in not all that much different then his last show

Well, at least he didn't come in much worse after a 2 yr lay-off like Brewer did. BSN should appreciate this and up his contract.

Give him time. White went through the same ordeal. He got hyped to win the NY Pro his rookie year but finished a modest sixth. Two years later, he actually wins a show. The same can happen to Curry. He just showed up smooth, which is usually "game over" for bodybuilding competitors. If he gets ripped, he'll be a force.

i think in all actuality this whole thing you see these guys doing these days where they take lots of time off between getting theri pro card and competing is a way to guarentee their relevance for 2 years , it benifits both the athlete and their sponsor

think of it..............if brandon ray immediatly came on to the scene and started doing shows........and finishing low in 3rd teir shows like this...............the buzz on him would have quickly faded out............like it now will
.

but by him not competing..............t hey were able to keep the buzz up for these past two years because everyone kept talking about when he will make his debut

its a way to stretch a dollar im guessing

[tendonitis]

talk about potential, Sick lines

Didn't he just take off two years to fulfill that potential? Didn't he just finish 6th in the worst show of the year
Those legs and calves are hopeless.
He's a fraud who will never bring the conditioning he needs to the stage.

People once said that about the guy who just won that show.
