I'm glad you are having fun with it. He obviously got defensive and responded with an inappropriate personal remark. I think there is a difference between the MT vs. DL question and your comparison to DL vs. TB. Michael Todd actually won 2 out of the first 3 matches during their supermatch. Two losses puts you out of every tournament, which is the predominant method of competition in our "sport". In your example, Devon has only beat Travis left handed a couple times out of many many matches over many many years.
For the record, I think it is unnecessary to bring up this conversation since the 6 round format was known ahead of time by both competitors. I certainly think Devon's approach would have been different if he knew going in that it was a best of 3 format.

I agree with the fact that they agreed on best of 6, but to say if it was best of 3 they would've had a different approach. I think not! Both guys knew what they were up against and pull to win every match because you cannot afford to give losses and let your opponent gain momentum, especially not at that calibur.

Is this post directed at what I said? The only clue is that you used initials like I did. I can't even make out what you are trying to say at the end of your post. Maybe you should tell Pete whatever it is you are trying to say and let him type it. I explained it in my post, maybe Pete can explain that for you. |

I was pointing out the difference just to show that Christian's example was not a good one, but Jonathan pointed out that Christian was only being facetious and didn't care if his example was a perfect one or not.
The difference between the matches was that Michael Todd won 2 out of the first 3 matches on the same day (if it had been tournament format, Michael Todd would have won). Devon Larratt has only beat Travis Bagent left handed 1 or 2 times out of many matches over a period of several years. Again, this whole point is moot because the conditions of the supermatch were "best of 6". I wouldn't have had to be in Manchester to make that observation.
Just curious why your anger was directed at me? I don't try to come across as "an expert", I just really enjoy armwrestling and love discussing it on this message board.

Just like all te others that have spouted off to myself or christion when we see them in person its all smiles and respect! as the saying goes dont write checks you can t afford to cash I wasn't trying to say anything tough to Christian, I was merely contributing to the conversation. Maybe you're right, I should have just "listened". As to what I wrote to you, I was kind of jabbing at you "tongue-in-cheek" because your post had such bad spelling that I couldn't tell what you were really trying to say. I was a little irritated by your lack of respect for me. Of course it will be all smiles and respect when I see you in person. That is the way I treat everyone, the way I want to be treated. I apologize for responding like a smart alec, because you are right-I would never have done that in person. Even though you treated me in a condescending, disrespectful way for no reason, I should not have responded with what I did. |
