Kevin Levrone - May 17 Pec tear/left knee Tendinitis

From his instagram:

While it's respectable that he went ahead and did the show anyway, it would have saved a lot of embarrassment to just state at the time that he was injured and possibly won't be looking his best. Instead of going on about how he's going to be in the first call out and will show the new breed how it's done 90's style, etc.

I have no doubt that if he didn't get these injuries, we would have seen the kevin of old. I really hope he heals up and continues to train. He could crack top 10 next year if he has a full off season. All he really needs to do is bring up the wheels to be competitive.

choo choo marketing train coming through next stop ruin your legacy with excuses

[BiggerTommorow]

sounds to me like a contract to show up to the olympia that he didn't/couldn't break and he did what he could to show up as good as he could. With Kai dropping out the previous year and continuing to be a no show this year they needed something to create hype. He can say what he wants about feeling like this was the time and something was calling him to it but to me he was offered huge cash and begged to compete at the olympia.

Apparently he was the one who approached them asking for an invite.

either way I cannot fathom a situation where he gives the Olympia free publicity like he did.

Levrone probably should have shown us these pics from the beginning instead of that xray while telling everyone he's fresh and ready to go.

Injuries or no injuries, there is still no excuse for the way his conditioning was. He looked like a bar of soap from the back. And his front just looks really tired, you can really tell the no matter what he does, he won't have the same look. No point in him having another go at this unless he really wants to kill himself, I think he's already taken a few years off his life with this show.

His conditioning was fine and he looked much better at finals, but I think the lack of back thickness made it look flat/less conditioned. Side chest and MM looked good/conditioned.

He cares about his health too I don't think he'd do it unless he was careful.

[purdey]

What a legend

[Bzdura]

How is tendinitis worse than a muscle tear? Its pretty clear that his leg loss extends beyond the condition, made it worse ok. The chest you couldn't even tell.

[BartPimpson]

So that 405x8 video was on a recently torn pec?

Absolute madman!

[x-trainer ben]

He said in the MD interview with Bob C , why stop at the Olympia.

[WWE-TicK]

His body obviously cannot take the kind of training necessary to be competitive any more. Aging sucks. Why do we have to get old?

Props to him, though, for following through and finishing what he started. Lesser men would've thrown in the the towel. He's a true champion.

You are talking about the guy who thought he could run a 60m faster than an Olympic sprinter. It didn't end well. For levrone.

Yea lol wtf.

Did he say he thought he could beat the sprinter? If I recall correctly he just wanted the challenge for fun.

ive torn my pec in 2009
and had tendonitis (wrist/pinky side) in 2011

i can assure you tendonitis is 20 times worse than a tear.. at least mine was.. i couldnt hold a cell phone and the pain was very intense.. it took about a year to heal

[pryme]

Yea lol wtf.

You recall wrong. When asked if he was going to win he said "I didn't come here to lose"

I'm sure the video is out there somewhere.

If i was levrone i prob would have said the same or somthing close.Anything else just would have ruined the hype.I do get why people are pissed at him for slightly missleading their expectations.

In hindsight i really do think phil would beat kev even at his prime.

Yeah, kinda like Pacquaio.

Do you guys think the pec tear had something to do with his left arm/delt being smaller than the right?. You can see it in the bdb, though his chest looked ok.

Absolutely connected to that.

[StalinBrah]

Watch the sprint video, the interviewer asked levrone if he will smoke the guy, levrone just smiled and laughed. Obviously he was just there having fun, I don't think he's that delusional.

Well what else could he say lol. Nah I watched the video, clearly there for fun not a serious challenge he thought he could win. Makes more sense that he didn't actually think he could beat an olympic sprinter. That being said he was actually pretty fast especially for his size

Exactly lol

Who knows. He didnt have such imbalance in 93 when he tore his pec.

BTW Kev just said on insta he is about to get into an 8-month solid training run, what contest in in May? Do they still do NOC?
