Armfight 42 thoughts from a fans view
« Thread Started on Jul 2, 2012, 12:56pm »

Alright guys this is my thoughts on armfight 42 and remember I'm not a arm wrestler just a fan of arm wrestling. First I have to say Devon is probably the strongest arm wrestler with both hands to date but if Tim beat Devon right handed then Tim got beat by pushkar on armfight 42 then I would think that pushkar is the stronger right hand arm wrestler or at least the most explosive. It's pretty damn impressive of Devon that not using any illegal supplement to completely dominate someone who might be using. which I think pushkar is but that's just my opinion. Don't start crying please just because I gave my opion. Also Todd completely dominated zoeloev however you spell his name. I believe ppl were really blowing his strength out of proportion anyways and that proved it I think by getting dominated by Todd. You could tell by look on his face he wanted to quit and cry at the same time because reality sank in and he realized how much he was hyped up and could not compete with Todd. Nonetheless zoeloev is a awesome arm wrestler just I believe overhyped like a bunch of ufc fighters are.I'm sorry but I won't comment on Micheal Todd except the way he wins is wrong in my opinion with this new technique of his I guess you could say but after the matches you could tell he was mad when the man John Brzenk played with him and completely exposed and showed how to beat micheal todd. Please I don't want to hear he was tired and just armwrestled. Just like also when John said to jerry you got no arm strength in the last armfight. I respect every armwrestler and not being mean or anything just giving my honest opinion on everything.

Armfight 42 Review: I like this Idea. Recently I have been asked to be an armwrestling correspondent for a sports magazine. If we all start posting reviews like this after every armwrestling event and I quote you in the magazine I will mention your name in the quote.

OK

Match 1 Devon Vs Pushkar. IMO The first match was a clear indication on how and why Pushkar wins Worlds and Tournaments. He looks like "pulling Style" Avery explosive Richard Lupkis. Which is why in a tournament when you have one crack at the guy you are likely going to get pinned Pushkar seemed to have a stronger wrist and hand in the first round.

Match 2 Devon Vs Pushkar the Second Match supports my first comparison claim that Pushkar and Lupkis are similar as this match looked like Lupkis VS Bagent UAL match where Riches Side pressure was breaking his own wrist back while Travis was opened up but with hand control. almost identical matches if you think about it.

Match 3 & On Devon Vs Pushkar. Was a clear indication why over 6 rounds fresh to fresh Devon Larrat will embarrass you with his unbelievable endurance... But to say it's Merle endurance is inaccurate as he demonstrates tremendous strength alongside of his endurance once Pushkars strength levels dipped below 4 % of Devon's it was all over as it will be for anyone who cannot maintain there peak strength for at least 4 wins. Pushkar was a gracious loser I might add I think when he adds some new moves to his game he will one day be unstoppable. But today it's Larratt

Armfights 42

Michael Todd vs Sergiy Tokarev Match 1. I was very impressed by Tokarev this Guy really knows how to armwrestle. However in this match he was a deer in the head lights just armwrestling with top rolling priciples and sort of reackting to Michael's counters but may of hindered him self in the late rounds in his match Michael was able to apply back & side pressure so that when Sergiy would apply pressure he also as ''Pushkar did" break back his own wrist.

Michael Todd vs Sergiy Tokarev Match 2. Was it just me or does Sergiy not have a tremendous hand and wrist the long hold prior to straps told me allot about this guys strengths. It was very impressive to watch and had it been an equally srong but different stylistcally puller than Todd Sergiy most likley would be in the drivers seat. Once in the straps he resorted to the headlights again!

Michael Todd vs Sergiy Tokarev Match 3: Once in the Straps Tokarev's grip was different he applied a push pass grip with high lever If you are watching and you are a great hooker this is a great tool to use agaisnt Michael if you hope to be able to hook him in Tokarev in his current condition did not posses the stregth and power needed to fully cuphis wrist to secure a true hook. But none the less he still hand his wrist and was in decent possition at the start.
The lack of strength allowed Todd to work his roll and lerage to finally take Sergiys hand and finnish him in a battle. Well done by Sergiy he might of just shown a door for others to go through.

Armfights 42

Todd Hutchings VS Zoloev Match 1: A great side pressure snapping hook allowed Todd to gain advantage in the first round with Zoloev displaying a tremendous defensive hookng ability. Todd was on full assult and with two powerfull side pressure hook drives he was able to bust the defensive wall down.

Todd Hutchings VS Zoloev Match 2: Zoloev was in deep but he was technically sound he's strength level for his size is incredible!! He looked to connect his elbow to his torso but Todds pressure never really allowed him to get in great position. Todd strangly enough from what I saw a very raw hooking stlye even opening up from his arm to body and body to table as he pinned Zoloev. He simply is a marvel genetically.

Todd Hutchings VS Zoloev Match 3. Again Todd impressively showing he's dominant stregth by trying to top roll Zoloev but Zoloev's pride in not being top rolled was superior however Todd was to much while driving towards the pin!

Tim Bresnan Vs Andrey Pushkar. I will only comment on the first bout as I truely think it was the only match with merit. Tim is able to stop Pushkars hit and has more inside. After that IMO it's all gravey for Tim. Tim should not of pulled so soon after Devon and he may be regreting it now if his injury turns out to be bad. I think theres a possibility that Pushkar would still win a rematch but i give a 60-40 % to Tim to win as a saw this man's endurance last a solide 5 rounds with Devon I did not see that with Pushkar.

Devon won the supermatch against Tim. Although, Tim looked incredible and STRENGTH-wise, the stronger man - Devon won the supermatch.

I personally would like to see this match again, of course when Tim is 100%.

Tim vs Pushkar is tough because they both had wins I believe when Tim got injured. Yes Pushkar won the supermatch, but once again, would like to see this matchup again.

I'm not sure if Toddzilla would say he dominated the match. By looking at the results alone, yes one could say he dominated. But watching the first few matches, you can see it took some work. You can also see that Zoloev is ANYTHING BUT overrated. Zoloev was giving up FORTY POUNDS - and hangs in there IN A HOOK, WITH TODDZILLA. That is nothing short of incredible. Todd can easily make most of the 220 and below pros in the US look silly in a hook, and I'm sure many 220+ as well. I am VERY happy to see Todd back in the sport and hope he continues to do well. Very fun to watch solid hook matches with the world's best. Zoloev is WORLD CLASS. And so is Todd - beating Krasi was no small task, and was amazing to see.

Michael Todd - winning within the confines of the rules, is exactly that. Whether you like it or not, my personal opinion, yours, is like saying you like vanilla ice cream versus chocolate - it just doesn't matter. The style, I will agree, can be very difficult to referee, and not the funnest thing to watch, but it is what it is. He's a champ - and has perfected his style - now its up to the world's best to figure him out, in order to beat him. Noone competes with more passion - noone trains harder, and he utilizes the tools in his arsenal up there with the best.

John Brzenk is John Brzenk - no one gets mad when they lose to John.

MT is a competitor and he will play and play and play - and I'm sure YES he wants to win EVERY a match, and that any loss is frustrating

Just opinions from another fan, I must say though I LOVE seeing the Europe/North American supermatches - keep them coming!

Hey guys I'm not hating on MT or anything I just don't agree with his pulling style. I respect him as an athlete but from my view it seems like sometimes he is in a break arm position and I thought that was illegal. How come it is never called by the ref but I do realisze he isn't the only armwrestler to do it but I think anyone who is in a break arm position should be called on it. Also I believe he has a bone lock an thats why it is so hard to pin him just like crazy george. I don't believe he stops ppl an inch from his lock. please ppl I'm really not hating I just don't see how it is fair and anyone who has armwrestled him has got to be thinking this but I know he still can be beaten cause Devon proved that but he is a rare breed. Also the youtube clip I seen of devon and Tim it looked like Tim won 4 matches and Devon 2 thats y I thought Tim won that match but I geuss that was my mistake.
