I know the amount of work that I\u2019ve put in the gym, when it comes to work, honestly, I put in that work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that this Irish man-mountain has the size to dominate the stage, so what went wrong? \u201cI tell you the truth,\u201d offered the straight-talking TMP host, Dennis James. \u201cAll the updates that I saw from you, I thought you were behind. It never looked to me like you were \u2018On\u2019 for that show, that day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Menace doubled down on this view, explaining that he thought Blessing\u2019s face was too puffy to win. Taking the criticism positively, the Blessing had to agree with the brutal analysis. \u201cAt the back of my head, I knew\u2026 conditioning, it wasn\u2019t where it\u2019s supposed to be,\u201d he reflected. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t where it was in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blessing Awodibu must work on his conditioning to move forward in bodybuilding. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/ifbb\/blessing-awodibu-ny-pro-photoshoot-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blessing won the 2022 New York Pro with an incredible display<\/a>, but accepted that he was unable to replicate the same dry look in Reno that he accomplished three years ago. James noted that even in 2025, Blessing\u2019s 2022 NY Pro winning physique would have most likely brought him victory at the Legion Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the show was won by Toni Burton with Patrick Moore as a close runner-up, while the Irishman finished way down in sixth place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s because you didn\u2019t bring the conditioning, and that\u2019s what we judge you off,\u201d added James, noting that his words may sound harsh, but were meant with respect. \u201cPeople don\u2019t understand how good your physique can be, and how much better your physique will look, when you are in shape,\u201d encouraged the passionate host.<\/p>\n<p>With time running out to qualify for the 2025 Olympia, it will be interesting to see what Blessing does next.
