Big Ramy in the center for the fans I think. Not sure if they are really thinking to giving it to him.

Final predictions:

I have Phil winning with probably perfect scores, conditioning, details and 3D muscle is just too much for the rest.

Big Ramy looks grainy but lacks hamstring separation, back thickness, especially lower back which you can see in the rear poses, and quad separation which is another "trademark" of Ramy.

Bonac will be 3rd and it may be closer to Dexter tomorrow, but as of now I have him 3rd. He may have some of Phil's details and such, but he is too small. Dexter on the other hand compared better with the bigger guys.

This is where structure makes the difference imo.

Right on with the top 3 and Dex looks like 4th to me.

Too bad Kai Greene didn't show up. He could beat Heath easily. Heath is not his best tonight.

for me:

1. heath
2. bonac
3 big rami
4 dexter
5 curry
6 shawn rhoden

heath doesn't look in good shape he has got a big gut. curry is in great shape but he needs more mass in his legs. shawn rhoden is out. dexter looks great in the front, but he lost his muscle on the back. big rami is big, but he looked better last year in barcellona. he has got great muscle but he needs more details. william bonac is the best william bonac in his story.

I think Kai Greene could have won this had he been there.
