Orlando Pro Extreme BB show

[SweatMachine]

Went to the show this weekend..... $50 minimum for tickets, small little venue, poorly organized, and MC'ed by Shaw ( Mr. Boring ) Ray. Dareem Charles was great, Titus was better than he was at the Arnold, Art Atwood was MONSTEROUS, but for the most part is was very boring and not worth the time, toruble or money. We left befor it was over, there was 38 competitors we left at # 28. I couldnt take much more. Lots of guys from S. America and the middle east
I'd put money on D. Charles winning the over all, but I'll have to read about it I guess....

Here's the results

Charles in Charge

Written by: Greg Merritt

Perennially peaked Darrem Charles captured all four judging rounds to win the IFBB Florida Pro Xtreme. In second was a fellow immigrant to Florida, Ahmad Haidar: full, cut, and classically proportioned. Wasp-waisted leg-man Craig Richardson (who failed to place in his only other pro contest) was the surprise of the show, placing third and realizing his lifetime dream of qualifying for the IFBB Mr. Olympia. 40-year-old Willie Stallings placed a well-deserved fourth. It was nearly an all-aesthetics posedown, until Art Atwood overwhelming mass was thrown into the mix.
