Belknap Takes Mr America

Tim Belknap overcomes Rory Leidelmeyer to win the Light Heavyweight Class in a fantastic battle.  It was a classic contest between a brutally muscular and dense physique of Belknap against a contrasting symmetric and classic physique of Leidelmeyer.  The Beast would conquer the beauty in this instance by a single point in a very close decision.

Belknap would go on to win the overall title. Other class winners were Lance Dreher (Heavyweight), James Youngblood (Middleweight) and Ken Passariello (Lightweight).
