I think you've got the safest bet. For all the 'excitement' this Olympia is supposed to bring, it seems pretty boring with already knowing who's going to win. I would LOVE Dex to win it. Just bring the same package from the last show and it'll be hard even for Brandon to beat him. Then Dex can finally retire.Who is everyone picking for the olympia?
I think Brandon Curry will take the open.
No one will touch Breone in the Classic.
Derek will most likely take the 212... but I'm rooting for John Jewett, at least in second. Guy looks phenomenal!
Well. After last night I’m gonna have to eat my words. Looks like Choopan is def size enough to play with the big boys. And his conditioning was probs the best up there. I’d say possible top 3 depending on how tonight goes. Jackson and Sandoe both looked off. But I think in sandoes case he’s just super green still as opposed to Jackson who I think is out to pasture. But fuck at 50, the dude still looks amazing. Just not top 5 amazing.Who is everyone picking for the olympia?

For the most part I agree with these. Jackson really dug himself out from Friday night. Curry obviously the clear winner. But honestly, I really thought Choopan was better than Bonac. I thought he had better conditioning and looked (at least the posing illusion of looking) wider and thicker especially in the back. But, I’m not a judge and they didn’t see it that way so it is what it is. It that last pose down was intense. Making those guys earn it! Great watch this year despite the lack of any of the “big names”.Olympia 2019 Men’s Open Results
