Talk about a monumental win. That\u2019s just what happened this past weekend at the prestigious Flex Pro Italy where Edward Kargbo edged out legendary bodybuilder William \u201cThe Conqueror\u201d Bonac. I think it\u2019s very important to note that William had competed in his third consecutive show and that it would have been very difficult for him to win every single time \u2013 but he almost did! That being said William brought a tremendous package to the stage and we\u2019ll talk more about him later in this article. We\u2019ll also talk about Jordan Hutchinson, who finished in third place and looked very impressive as well. But we really need to focus on Edward here because of the fact that he brought such a phenomenal package to the stage.<\/p>\n
News of the win quickly made the rounds throughout the interwebs including amongst the fans in Sierra Leone where Edward hails from. This is a major achievement in one of the most respected stages in the world. The European bodybuilding community has always been one that has been all about bodybuilding. Unlike here in the United States where it\u2019s very much still a niche sport, in countries like Italy, fans lose their mind over bodybuilding. It\u2019s not uncommon for bodybuilders to get stopped on the street for photographs, selfies, and just a good ole high five. The fact of the matter is that Edward brought his very best. He battled on stage and once he was put in the center they never moved him from there again. Oddly enough, William would be in the center but would get moved a couple of times. This is interesting because William is such a great bodybuilder and looked so good, but we have to give Edward his flowers.<\/p>\n
One of the things that I really liked about Edward\u2019s physique is the fact that it was very bubbly. He looked very full and complete, but hard. I didn\u2019t really see any lagging bodyparts which really says a lot because of the fact that we\u2019re talking about a competitor who I\u2019m not all that familiar with. I of course did my due diligence in writing this article as I do for all other articles but I have to be totally honest in that I\u2019m not super familiar with Edward as a top-tier body builder. I have seen his name on many of the score cards and I know that he is a consummate professional and by no means new to the stage but I think that this may very well be his first Olympia and if I am mistaken I look forward to being corrected. How his physique will do at the Olympia is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n
Right now I think there is so much talent going into the Super Bowl of Bodybuilding that I honestly don\u2019t know where these folks will land at the end of the contest. Do I think that Edward will be in the top six? No. Do I think Edward will be in the top 10? Probably not. That being said he can bring a great look to the stage and make a name for himself as long as he places. And that may be what happens in Vegas. Then again he might surprise me and a lot of other people and place a lot higher. That\u2019s the nature of the beast when you\u2019re dealing with professional bodybuilding.<\/p>\n
One of the things that I really liked about Edward\u2019s physique was his upper torso.\u00a0 His back and chest were very impressive to say the least. I think that for a lot of the back poses, as well as the most muscular, he really was holding his own.
