Preview - 2008 IFBB Jacksonville Pro Figure

July 31, 2008 

Greetings from hot and slightly steamy Jacksonville, where we have the opportunity to preview and cover a very exciting pro figure show that has a little bit of everything!  What once was thought to be a major second addition to the pro circuit in Florida has now turned out to be a replacement for the Palm Beach Pro, which was canceled at least for this year.  The two major and highly anticipated comebacks by Jessica Paxson-Putnam and Mary Elizabeth Lado would be worth the price of admission to Dexter Jackson’s event all by themselves.

Two years ago Jessica hit the stage at the New York Pro in what may have been one of the best overall presentations that we have ever seen outside of the Olympia or Arnold.  Her gorgeous appearance spawned an unprecedented interest in pink and baby blue posing suits, and she filled out her physique perfectly with just the right combination of mass and conditioning.  It was a “wow” moment, glamorous but without overdoing it on the sequins, hard but with all the right curves and without excessive separation, absolutely perfect arms and delt caps.  Seeing if Jessica will be able to duplicate that perfection in Florida is enough to make this show interesting in itself.
