Very good review from rxmuscle...Lol

[Antonio fella]

Lol Aceto called Phil at least two/three times narrow and midget/midgetty 

[BigRo]

Chad Nicholls had it right, Wolf won pre judging.

[Europe]

Awesome report!! Finally a decent and honest report!!

Worth watching.

[Antonio fella]

Thanks

[Royalty]

LOL at Chris Cormier randomly walking by.... and getting dragged into the assessment.


Then Ben P said that he had Dexter winning, and Wolf in 2nd. Wow

[SquatsRule]

The smaller Dave gets, the stranger he looks.

[Never1AShow]

I give them a lot of credit for this video.  This was more interesting to watch than the show.  Guys chatting it up knowledgeably and good production value.

Liked seeing Cormier cameo also.

[Disgusted]

These guys nailed it! great assessment.

[MAXX]

Chad Nicholls had it right, Wolf won pre judging.

eh... looks like shit from the back.. no calves or lats

and abs looks wierd

[Disgusted]

I have no problem with Wolf winning. When I said last night that he has too many flaws I was speaking more of the judges always criticizing him for his lower lats and hams. This year he is at his best ever IMO.

[Skeletor]

This was a surprisingly good review. Phil looks "midgety".

[Ronnie Rep]

Excellent assessment. Always liked Chad and Aceto.

[Hulkotron]

lol @ the CC cameo

[calfzilla]

I really think Phil is going to lose the title. Good. 

Sounds like it will probably be Rhoden but Wolf and Dex have a shot too.

[Wiggs]

Aceto sounds exactly like Cutler. That whole New England area is strong on the accents.

[BB]

Aceto sorta reminds me of a middle aged Pryzbylewski from The Wire-

.

Really good commentary from those guys.

Makes you wonder if Kai competed, would have he destroyed Phil?

[SF1900]

He described Phil's frame perfectly: Said it was an "H" frame.

So, 2 gurus (aceto and nichols), plus Chris Cormier, plus Pakulski, plus Farrah, all say that Phil should not win.

Of course the IFBB judges will still give it to Phil!

Yes that gave me hope when I heard they all said he's not 1st. But like you said the judges can still gift it to him.

Kai will never get an Olympia win because of the grapefruit sodomy, but this would've been a good show to try and claim an "uncrowned Mr. Olympia" title. Super weak competition all around.

When you have all these gurus (or whatever you want to call them) and other bodybuilders all saying that Phil should not win, and he winds up winning, it makes you wonder.

True, but I was speaking purely from a physique perspective. We all know Kai's sordid past will prevent him from winning. 

From a physique perspective, I bet Kai would have beat Phil. Too bad he has a strong affinity for fruit.

[Azure]

I always say I don't know anything about jusging even after all this time but they said the same things I was saying. Interesting that nobody has phil in first based on merit. They also touched on something else that I noticed. Little to no passion. That's what was missing. Kai brought that passion to the stage.
These guys were boring to watch and did not look like they were fighting for their chance to win
