[Casey Szparaga]

Wow!

[Josh Handeland]

WTF!!! I knew Roman was a beast but geez he beat Rob Bigwood lefty and Rob beat Shawn Lattimer (which surprised me congrats to Rob). Roman is beating some of the best left handed SUPERHEAVYWEIGHTS in the USA! All while pulling 9 weight classes and also beating Jim Bryan? I am officially scared.

[Bob Brown]

I wonder why no 198 Left.

[Josh Handeland]

Maybe he decided to be nice and let someone else win or someone payed him to stay outta that class ;D still amazed

[Michael Phaup]

after seeing roman toy with everyone and only lose one single match the entire tournament (rob bigwood left handed), and beating shawn lattimer, rob bigwood, and jim bryan multiple times, at only 154 lbs and pulling 11 classes, i truly believe roman is the best armwrestler on the planet pound for pound.

[Aaron Blevins]

Unbelievable, but believable I guess.....

riddle me this though, HOW has Roman progressed soooo much from just a few years ago to now....Allen Fisher handled him a few years back....Allen is a Freak aswell, but, the progression Roman has made from then til now is out of this world.

Engin or anyone else with an idea....the floor is yours

[Johnny Edwards]

Some of the classes he went through im sure his arm didn't get touched at all so no energy used which left him enough to knock off supers. You gotta think it takes a very high caliber to put the breaks on Roman or crack that hand back. Allen can still almost get that hand sometimes. I assume Rob hooked Roman?? Anybody know how the matches went? Hook is Romans spot.

if you could see tears in my eyes now.

coulda woulda shoulda

see Gary, you aren't going anywhere and neither is ARMTV! You still have the fire and capability to grow this sport and your business! You're a Beast, don't take anything less....NOW, don't be missing anymore tournaments!

get the Toproll Tournament while your at it....lots of pulling we'd all like to see there as well.

[Gary Roberts]

passion is not the problem...It is mathematics.

[Bicio]

As wrote on Josh's facebook post, where someone wrote that Zoloev is better than him....
I Think Roman is better than Khadzimurat P4P for some reason...
1)he's 70kg and Zoloev is 75kg (and ALL of us knows how important are 5 kilos at that incredible level)
2)he's actually keep his WAF title...zoloev has lost it at last worlds (Italy 2009)
3)he continuosly tests his strength and the USA trip is one good prove about that (UAL, NJ, ACAC) ... Zoloev LATELY is competing ONLY in WAF tourneys or russian nationals.

ALL NATURALLY IMHO!!!
There is no doubt about Zoloev unbelievable strength, but I think dropping down 5kilos Zoloev could have some heavy problem.

ENGIN, as max expert should have a wider point of view i'd like to know.

bicio

gary: the math is not an opinion... so if you can ... GO!.... if you can't....IMO you should try to engage a partnership with some guy that will send the "tapes" at the end of the tournaments...(sending tapes/DVDs is cheaper than travelling around the US)

[Chris Heath]

Anybody tape this??
