I will stick by my guns stated pre nationals. This version of Brooks even down a few Lbs has a chance.
Realistically I think it is closer than most think, maybe 40/60.
This is exactly the type of competitor where David's lack of world-class competition training regimen might come up to bite him. Aaron is primed and ready to go, whereas David has to get back into that groove so to
to speak.
Admittedly I still think David is, the world's P4P, in his late prime, and training with Kyle Dake every day is as strong a situation as he should need. That in and of itself is likely the clincher.
It's most likely David is still the master and Brooks the young apprentice for one more cycle, but it's far from a guarantee.
