How this is counted: a meeting is one contest where both athletes were judged in the same division. Standing on the same stage in different divisions is not a meeting, because the two were never scored against each other. Jose Raymond and Kevin English meet that test 9 times. For scale, this database holds 70 recorded results for Jose Raymond and 19 for Kevin English across their full careers. Counted from the contest record as of September 21, 2026.

Jose Raymond and Kevin English at their peak

Peak window = the athlete's Olympia-title years where available, otherwise their best-placement years. Derived from recorded contest results. It is a span of years, not a rating.

Jose Raymond reached his competitive peak from 1993 to 1994, one of his strongest stretches (50% win rate across 2 contests in the window).

Kevin English reached his competitive peak from 2008 to 2010, one of his strongest stretches (62% win rate across 8 contests in the window).

Score these two prime windows against each other on Prime vs Prime, where Olympia dominance is weighted for the size of the field each athlete beat.

Jose Raymond and Kevin English, beyond the scoreline

The part of this matchup a results table cannot hold, written by hand rather than derived from the record.

Jose Raymond

Raymond stood 5 feet 4 inches and carried a density that made the 212 limit look like it had been written around him. The nickname, the Boston Mass, covered both halves of that: where he came from, and how much muscle he could hold at a capped weight.

His Olympia record in the division is the case for him. Sixth in 2009, fourth in 2010, then third, fourth, fourth, third, second, third, third and fifth. Ten appearances, nine of them in the top five, and never the one result he was there for.

Kevin English

The Olympia record in the capped division reads second in 2008, then first, first and first. Three consecutive titles in a class that was still called the 202 Showdown when he started winning it and the 212 by the time he stopped.

The New York Pro was his other stronghold. He won it in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, which no other competitor in the division has matched.

Attribute Tug-of-War

Each bar splits a metric by each athlete's share of their combined total. A centered bar means they are level.

Career Overlap Timeline

Each bar runs from an athlete's first recorded contest to their last, so the stretch where the two bars cross is the period both were competing. The marks on the bars are the years they met in the same division, one mark per year however many times they met in it. Careers that never cross can still be read against each other on career totals; they just cannot produce a head-to-head record.

Shared Contest

Career Stats Comparison

These are career-long figures, drawn from the results we hold for each athlete rather than only the contests the two shared, which is why a pair who never met still has something to compare. Where the two differ, the row marks the stronger figure: the higher number, except on Career Start and Best Placement, where the lower one is better and takes the mark. A row the two are level on marks neither.

Method

This page counts finishing positions

Every figure here comes from where each athlete placed in the contest record. Judging sheets and point spreads are not in the database, so a comparison tells you who finished higher on the night. It does not tell you by how much, or how close the call was.

  • A head-to-head result needs both athletes at the same contest in the same division. Two athletes on the same stage in different divisions were never judged against each other, so that show is not counted as a meeting.
  • Only contests both athletes actually entered can be settled here. Careers that never overlapped produce a side-by-side record and no head-to-head, because there is nothing to count.
  • Career totals cover the results we hold. A missing regional or amateur show lowers a total; it never invents one.
  • A shared placement is left as a tie. It is reported separately rather than split between the two athletes.
