New York Finals Report Tribeca Performing Arts Center, New York: May 19, 2012 By Peter McGough and Ron Harris
Men’s Open Having looked impregnable during the afternoon Cedric McMillan cruised through the finals in dominant style to take the 2012 New York Pro, the $12,000 prize money and the Mr. Olympia qualifying berth that goes with it. Now the 270 pounder has discovered the route to his best ever condition much better things that can be expected from this giant of a man. Johnnie Jackson proved his experienced warhorse credentials by digging down and gritting it out over De La Rosa, Kuclo and Morell. Kuclo’s shape, dimensions and proportions give him an exceptional canvas but at this stage lacks the brush strokes of detail and deep separation. Many would look upon this as a major disappointment for the 26 year old, but he took it with class and without recrimination.
This was a great debut for De La Rosa who gave away height and weight to all the main adversaries but made up with it by packing his frame with shapely muscle. If he can pull off the trick of getting harder without losing flatness we will see him move up the ranks in the next couple of years. Juan Morel in fourth is still a work in progress and improved substantially from the morning show. As for Cedric in departing the Tribeca Performing Arts enter what better place could there be than celebrating your biggest career victory in the city that never sleeps.

AN ENGLISH LESSON
Men’s 212 Class: Reigning 202 champ was maybe marooned in third place after the prejudging but filled out in the 8 hours before the finals to win this show, proving his champion cojones. But the hit of the show was Sami Alhaddad with round muscle bellies, symmetry, aesthetics, conditioning, detail, and proportions. The ultra-competitive Jose Raymond hung in there until the end. This trio with the addition of Flex Lewis and Eduardo Correa will make for a great 212 Olympia.
