He was put third in the first round with 17 points, then won the next 3 rounds with perfect scores? He changed that much? He either wasn't oiled up properly (as said in the MM report) or they missed how good he was. You can't say he only won by three points saying it was close, he won three rounds with perfect scores. It wasn't close at all in condition just one fuck up of a round.
It was close and again he was compared NINE times in the first round. Ronnie knew it was close , Flex knew it , the whole industry did , Ronnie squeaked out a close call and they picked the right guy
Ronnie was lucky in 1998 lucky Flex did the Arnold and was in awesome shape and was spent Olympia time and lucky the judges didn't go with Flex on name alone.
Flex beat Ronnie 6 times in their careers , and Ronnie beat Flex 6 times both could beat each other , neither could beat Dorian
