Is Samir Bannout just posing, or is he actually competing?

Prejudging

**rruhl** · 03-13-2004, 07:37 PM

"The 2004 "Battle for the Bay" held this year in Alameda, California is turning out to be a hotly contested struggle for the top five spots. Unfortunately former Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout was not in the lineup as his much anticipated return to the stage was thwarted by an infected tooth. Chris Cormier was heavily favored to win this show but after a strong showing at the Arnold Classic last week, he's not in his best condition here and may well finish out of the top 5. Lee Preist, Dexter Jackson, Ahmad Haidar, Gustavo Badell as well as home town favorite Kris Dim, all came fully prepared to compete and after the morning judging not one of them is clearly dominating the lineup. This is a tight show and it's going to come right down to the wire."

I thought the placings at this show were pretty fair. Dexter deserved 1st priest deserved 2nd and Kim came in looking pretty tight. That was a nice debut....

I agree with you Mustafa should have been in the top5, also in the AC his place was ridicules, he absolutely should crack the top 6.

The only weak point in his physic it's the color which he did not make good, which he did not show his muscle and cuts.

I hope the judges will notice him some day.
