The Play-by-Play

As always, Queiroz had many supporters in the crowd. Bumstead’s fans cheered the loudest when he took the stage, and as expected, he was in the middle of the first call.

The final round for Classic Physique is part of the Saturday night show at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas. The top 10 compete for the title of world champion.
