Brandon Curry vs. Michael Liberatore

[Raptor]

Yeah Liberatore is better shape but it wasn't as if curry was way off. That being said I gotta go with Curry. Too much muscle and great shape.

Definetly Curry, but it's not fair to give someone the win just because they have more "potential."

Of course not and I don't think that was the case. Curry was just better overall (by one point).

curry wins clearly
as 2nd pick i would go with the guy in the far left

i agree

Liberatore is in a lot better condition than Curry but i think Curry's shape and sized out done Liberatore on this one. Curry does have a lot more potential than Liberatore as well, but i don't think that should have gave him the win...maybe the judges do judge like this...

i understand what your saying but potential has nothing to do with who should win, it's about who comes in with the best overall package...

LOL of course not and it was a completely different question and had nothing to do with that who won or should have won.

potential no, but beside condition, the body structure(shape,width..genetics) imo should have some major percent in a bb show, and Curry is far superior to Michael, just my opinion

I'm going to give my 2cents.



Slighty in Curry's favor due to his shape, width, and thickness. I consider Liberatore close mostly due to his legs. Curry is able to pull off excellent abdominal shape, while staying wide which gives him the front relaxed.



Curry has him in nearly every category. The front double bicep really reveals Liberatore's weakness in width.



Curry again, he just dominates too much in width. Also, his chest striations are impressive. Liberatore appears to be hiding his flaws.



I don't think the side chest could get any closer. Curry's wins in thickness, Liberatore wins in conditioning. This pose would slightly lean towards Curry for me though, due to his thickness, aesthetics, and chest striations.



This is no question Liberatore for me. This is easily his best pose in my opinion.



Not the best comparison picture. I think it's still clear that Curry wins upper body and Liberatore wins on the lower half. I would have to see a better comparison to be sure, but I believe Curry would take it due to Liberatore's weak back. Since it's a bad picture i'll leave this one even.



Once again Liberatore fails to convince me with his thickless, widthless back. In my opinion, Liberatore is more behind on the upper body than Curry is in the lower body, so I have to give it to Curry.



I had a tough time deciding on this one. Sure, most of you probably feel Curry dominates due to his shape and width. But, I don't think this picture does Liberatore much justice. Even so, you can still see how much he nailed his conditioning in his chest, quads, and obliques. Thus, I feel this could go either way. Despite how it looks in this picture, Liberatore's legs came in better than Curry's. My vote would slightly lean in Curry's favor however.




I feel this is another bad picture of Liberatore, but if Curry looks even close to how he looks in this picture, he wins this pose too.



Overall: Liberatore wins in conditioning, vascularity, and thickness in some areas. Meanwhile, Curry wins in width, thickness, symmetry, and shape. I give the overall to Curry.

The verdict is in. We are in voilent agreement, Curry wins !!! :imcoolurnot:

I'm really hoping the USA's this year is as competitive as this..........unbelievable class overall, espeically considering that Liberatore was beat by Curry by only 1 single point!

 

[keke568]

Look Liberatore side tri! =O

 

[nigster]

I like them both, but in this comparison it's Curry all the way.
