I agree with Jackson here. Derek could win. Hadi looks about the same size-wise, except for even more deep muscle cuts & muscle maturity. Derek has improved (bigger) and kept every except he doesn't have the deep muscle cuts from the front like Hadi. Plus, Derek's win would be a boost to the entire muscle & fitness *_industry_* as he's a popular American champion.
This is spot on I’ve been poking fun at Derek for quite sometime as he is the “golden boy” of the IFBB if he does win we will def get plenty of content and he will be a proper ambassador as they like to say I don’t think he’s the best yet tho imo his front is just not up to par yet to be Mr Olympia
@@kaizersoze2606 - Derek is the real deal in social media (unlike Grimes, who's pictures look better than he truly is) 🤣 Hadi is utterly impressive from front & back and is the current champ. However, with everything going on in the world, Iran isn't a hotbed of anything and won't be in the significant future. The judges were awesome last year and gave the title to the best person, period. But this year, man... if there's ever a "split decision" no judge would be blamed, because Derek is that good.
Johnnie sounds like he's had a stroke, slurred speach and very delayed thought processing the roids definitely have destroied a lot of cognitive abilities.
Shape and aesthetics should be the baseline for bodybuilding then grainy look would be they tie breaker. Bubble guts and weak abs should be an automatic disqualifyer, back of the line.
I am hearing impaired and even though I do wear a hearing aid, it's still very hard to pick up conversation if there is a lot of background noise and music
Ron what are you talking about? Samson has structure? He had zero conditioning and was buttery smooth online . He looks straight up and down esp from the back . So that makes a aesthetics? . Maybe it’s different in person but he was really overrated, overhyped from what I thought he would be . Samson’s victory was the fact Nick Walker didn’t compete . Nick would have bumped him out of that top 3 looking at those pictures from a week out .
Top 2 Derek and Hadi, did Ron leave out Samson on purpose?! Even if he places third he was still in the top callout right there w Hadi and Derek. Imo Samson beats Derek, but Hadi did enough to retain it I think. Keone won 212 tho, so judges may have other plans.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 I disagree and I was there. Samson has better shape, more size and balance. Derek’s legs are still not balancing his top half.
@0:17 😂
Ron: "Been on the stage 10 times?"
Johnnie: "14"
Ron: "13 times?"
Johnny said he was on stage 14 time and Ron says it back to him 13 times. Old school
😂😂😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
My hearing sucks even with a hearing aid in loud places like that expo!
So sorry Johnny about your family. Praying brother love your insight.
Always great job Ron. Hope to meet you someday
Listening to this guy brings back good old memories.
Go back and watch Johnnie's shows. One of the most underrated bodybuilders of all time.
Never had legs

Unfortunately I think you're right. I've never heard him sound like this.

If Keon beet Shawn, Samson will win the Mr Olympia if they use the same judging standards.
Actually, Derek would beat Hadi. But see your point.
No you are wrong with that theory you have that would make Derek the winner because Derek is younger like Keon and they see the potential in them.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 - so... what were we talking about? 😂 Seriously, that was a great top 3.
@@MattGaetzOnAWhiteFordBronco Yes it was, what's your point? I never said it wasn't.
Any update on Andrew Jacked?
Huh what do you mean hes still competing
Hammonton’s best ! Best wishes my dude
You know… you know ….you know….
Shaun suppose to win! Politics came into play? Such a shame!
Hadi is the cut clear winner!
So Hany Rambod has to coach Hadi & Derek to beat eachother . That's really interesting
Wild situation! Same thing happened back in the day with Jay Cutler and Phil Heath.
Bro couldn't have said 14 more clearly

Masters’ O is supposed to be organised every other year.
Where did you hear that?
Johhny has a brother called Johnny??
You know, you know.................................................. you know.

Samson was not even close to Derek.

@@benjyperez5606 Absolute size is not judged but who has the most muscle on their bones, Derek and Hadi have more muscle than Samson.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 yea, so much muscle they have extra lumps in places
I went on record about 20 times leading up to the O saying my top 3 was Derek, Hadi, and Samson - just like it happened
