Cutler’s Breakdown
“Dexter Jackson has won this contest before, he knows what it takes. Now he’s going for number four coming off a great year. I see Dexter training [at Golds Venice] and I know he looks great, so I have to go with the veteran. The shape and symmetry and condition is all there. He will win the show.”
“Pakulski has that freak factor – he’s gonna make lot of noise and come out there aggressive. He’s got a very strong stance from the front – great shoulder width and great quads – so he will stand out in the lineup. The big question is when he turns around, but I think with his conditioning and size, he’s going to overpower people and land in that second spot
“Cedric has to be at his best to do well, but it’s very hard for me to put someone who hasn’t stood on this stage in first place. I know he has the great shape and symmetry, but I would like to see that crazy conditioning along with that other stuff. No one has seen that from him at this point. . He and Toney have similar height structures, but I still think Toney has more taper and overall size than Cedric has.”
