for me a little I guess. I didn’t think Denis would be able to full on hook vitaly in the first rounds though anyway.
and vitaly flashing a 114kg 5’11” guy doesn’t make me think vitaly could do the same to 146kg 6”2 Denis
I still think denis wins and the match didn’t really convince me otherwise
your thoughts?
rare pics.
to my knowledge he has never once competed at WAF, he never went to neimiroff(which eouldnt make you a world champ but its still an EXTREMELY prestigious title...which he doesn’t have)
all he did was(internationally) I believe was:
1.have a title at armwars before it being taken(or might have been defended by Devon) at Manchester UK. but idk if Mike had that title or Devon did but they were fighting for it. (but that’s still unofficial regardless so it doesn’t matter)
at EvW he only recently got his first title. as far as I am that is his first international title.
his national titles would be at WAL(which have a title there doesn’t make you a would champ despite the name being WORLD ARMWRESTLING LEAGUE, it was an American league. yes ermes competed their and some others but c’mon it was American) at most made you an Amercian champ. yes mike won their. he beat Jerry and Dave and Devon. but that’s not 23 titles…that’s only 3 title defences.
and at the Arnold classic…where he lost to Denis. so how is he the world champ?
where is this 23X world champ coming from. and how come he is a world champ 23 times if he only beat Devon once, never beat Denis, never beat pushkar snd hasn’t beaten levan. all of those ppl were the number 1….mike hasn’t been. so how is he a 23X champ.
if I got smth wrong correct me. thx
sorry I didn’t clip out the in pausing and the other bits. I’ve got lazy
he got flashpinned by vitaly but he did force him into a hook if my memory serves me correctly.
how does this prudnyk compare to the prudnyk that in 2022 went on to flashpin Todd hutchings easily and pin Devon in 2022(refs saved Devon on that round) but ultimately lost in a hook.
and this prudnyk to now(or last year)? prudnyk been losing a lot lately as he is off cycle to save his voice I assume for opera.
in 2018/19 was he stronger than now? I think so
pushkar got 10k dollars for winning. I’d assume kurdecha is getting that now or even Matt mask despite only like what having 1 victory amongst a million losses.
ive heard Devon got 50k for his match against levan and against Denis. where Denis and levan got similar amounts too.
he lost in true American fashion…under the table🤣
that comment is just pure BS and also total inconsistent with more common armwrestling beliefs.
who also competed at that time? John did. would this person say those same things about john? no. why? because he likes John.
ppl need to learn that just coz u don’t like someone doesn’t mean they are shit.
was engin a good person in too many circumstances to count? no. but was he a damn good armwrestler? absolutely
love alizhan. but my money is on the power tower vitaly laletin
