Victory for the 2x Champ
He advanced in typical Justin Medeiros fashion, consistently and stoically, through the first two rounds.
All eyes were on the Rookie rabbit farmer Hatfield and veteran Travis Mayer as the combatants battled through rounds 1 and 2.
In the final heat, Hatfield progressed to the final barbell first, however he caught the weight further back on his heels and missed the lift.
Mayer looked solid and lifted well but Justin completed the lift first and flew in under the radar to sneak the win.
Brazilian Bruno Marins clinched second with Mayer finishing third.
