I've read all 9 pages of this crap and here's my cent and a-half:
KK's placing was the judges fault, although with guys like Rodney, Silvio, Farah, and that kid who won the Hungarian show, you have to wonder WTF they were thinking.
As per the IFBB mandate of last year, it was clearly obvious that KK should have been marked down for the following:
Big bloated gut
Synthol in his arms
And, as per the previous mandate:
Conduct unbecoming - his conduct on stage was horrible! George Farah is one of the NICEST most honerable guys int he sport. KK shoving him on stage during pre judging because Farah bumped into him getting into his pose was classless and just stupid. Then at the night show he did the same thing to the kid who won the Hungarian show (I just can't remember the dude's name) waving him off saying "this is my town." First of all, what an ASS for doing that, and second of all, NYC is NOT KK's town.
KK has no sense of sportsmanship, his physique is ugly, disproportionate, his gut sticks out, he has synthol in his arms and his bad boy image is as transparent as it is unenforceable. KK is a third/fourth tier BBer because that's what he's made himself. The fact that the judges placed him so high this time had nothing to do with how good he is. He did look better - condition wise - than ever. I'll give that to Joe McNeil because without Joe's help, KK would have placed dead last. The only thing that is obvious about KK's showing is that McNeil knows his shit!
The best thing for KK to do is to start figuring out what he should do for a living because his bodybuilding career is just about over.
