Regardless of who you’re a fan of I think we can all admit that a) it was very close and b) the hate that Derek has gotten simply because he won a close decision is unwarranted. We as fans need to be more respectful of these athletes.

Not really. Its not hate if you have valid criticism. Hadi got robbed, simple. You can see in Derek's body language as he posed, he knew he didn't peak right. Last year he didn't give af and he was just happy to be there and his energy was totally different.

I was IMPOSSIBLE to not see the sponsors(so check the taking care of sponsors box) AND there was the PERFECT back drop for the athletes(so check the taking care of the viewers and athletes) EVERYONE WINS.

Awesome insights from Jay and Milos, and gotta thank Milos for pointing out that Hadi's reaction wasn't out of disrespect. He probably couldn't even understand what Bob told him while he was leaving because he's hearing impaired and doesn't speak English. Congrats to Derek as well for bringing a hell of a package this year. Next year competition will be legendary.

53:17 We can solve this using the same suggestion I made below from the 2007 Mr. O prejudging, put them on a 2-3 ft riser. You CANNOT inch forward when there is a step Infront of you, even if you did it would make you look smaller stepping down. A "cliff" of sorts would prevent this instantly.

[@powerhouseboys3660]

In order for anything to be judged accurately they need to find a way to keep all the competitors the same distance away from the judges. You can clearly see how much closer Derek and Hadi are then Brandon and Samson, and then see how much closer Brandon and Samson are then Andrew and Hunter.

[@intensity.density2208]

It was very close, those guys battled. They're team mates, which made it even better! The more I look back at pictures and videos, the more my eye goes towards Hadi, especially on the front and side shots. But ultimately the judges had the best look. They made their decision, whether we're happy with it or not, it's final. That's what sport is. We won't always be happy with the judges decision, we won't always be happy with that ref, we won't always be happy with the umpire. That's how it is, can't please everybody. The judges don't have an easy job, people. Just appreciate that these guys are training hard year round to give us a show.

[@freddymars2014]

I prefer seeing abs/obliques/serratus for open class rather than a vacuum pose. For Classic and lower vacuum is fine but you NEED a solid midsection for open, at least imo. The only one with a solid mid section was Hadi and that's what sealed the decision for me, Derek had all back and Hadi all front, with the mid section tipping the scales in favour of Hadi, that's how I had it. With that said I was happy for Derek and disappointed in Hadi leaving early, especially since Derek is his friend and team mate.

[@andrewspaltman]

Perhaps the problem with the lighting, is that it is setup to shine towards them standing on the line ....but by the second pose they are in the 1st row of the audience and the light is shining behind them ! They should penalize them for the steps or put a long wooden plank down on the stage. Nobody is judging feet , so they can be MADE to stay behind the line.

[@dejanlazickd]

They should remove points, get them out of call out, or even disqualify for stepping over that line while posing
