Ronnie's body language at the announcement...

[knny187]

Hell...what kind of sport is this then?  Did the judges tell others as well?  This is BS.  The more I read from the Pros the more I know this sport is BS and judging totally sucks.  How can this even be allowed.

It's not a sport.

It's a beauty pageant

Dex makes 500k a year from Met-Rx

I think you missed it.  Dex is the current champ but $500K isnt coming his way.  It'll come Jay's way...as MrO.  The O still worth something.
Hope that helps.

Jay said "I KNOW I won" into the mic in between rounds, right?

[phyxsius]

whats the point of letting him know his placing to begin with??

because at that time, Jay was light years ahead of Ronnie and couldn't see any way for Ronnie to overtake Jay

Ronnie mistimed his Peak and therefore was Off.
You win some and lose some but Ronnie on this day was certainly not at his Best.
It's high time that even the Defending Champion when off,  does not get rewarded for that.
Glad to see the Judges do the right thing under the circumstances, I hope they keep the consistency up and others will be afforded the same opportunities to beat other Defending CHampions in the future instead of business as usual or the "Knock the Champ  Out" mentality.
Congratulations Jay on your Victory!

The only problem is that's it's taken  decades to do this; should've also happened with Yates, Haney, Columbu, etc. so in that respect Coleman didn't deserve to be any different.

To make him cry
