I dunno I think allen has some momentum........Cobra is comming off a dissapointing/unexpected loss in japan(Cobra might use this as motivation) to a tough Japanese puller but they are both ICONS in this sport and are easily the cream of the crop in this weight class.
No offence to Matt harris but this is what the armwrestling world wants to see the 2 most dominating pullers at this class the past 3 years.....Finally the two legends are on a crash course and we the armwrestling public are the real winners....
I voted for fisher......but if i was in vegas I'd be putting money on both of them because it truly is going to be a War on the table....

But, can Allen be as dominant at a body weight of 165?

allen has no problem at all being 165. just a couple of months ago he showed up to a tourney at 156 and went undefeated. his nutrition and dieting is as good as gets. i think he walks around at 172ish

I voted Allen because I have pulled them both in competition and they were both recent. Cobra is a very smart and capitalizes on other pullers mistakes where Allen is so powerful and makes little to zero mistakes... he will win this match up.
Cobra is very strong and fast, yet I feel I beat him to the punch in Denver. He dominated me and beat me by using my mistakes against me.
Allen hit me so hard, so fast, so strong, I felt it in my left pinky toe!!!! I still hurt from that match!!!!!

I've commented on this match to both Andrew and Allen. What a fight! True Allen did lose to Cobra that day. The first time I ever met Allen was 5-6 months after this match happened and I asked him about it. He said he hadnt been training and only showed up to AAA Nats to qualify for the Arnolds in March of the following year (2001 I believe). He also said he was training for it and would not lose to Cobra there. Low and behold the Arnolds came, Allen beat Cobra and took first place... Another battle I might add. I am still anxious to see this match though!!!!! HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

So I have a question for everyone?
If one guy wins the first two matches in control and then gets tired and loses the next three, who would you consider the better armwrestler?
Obviously the second is in better shape. BUT does that mean he is a better AW.
I think the guys who wins the first two is probably the better.
Just food for thought.

I was in Bakerfield and saw the matches. They were blazing fast and extremely intense. They looked like they could have went either way. Cobra won that day, but I wouldn't base any predictions on that. They're both great!
Side note: Fisher pulled Master's the night before and dominated.

Endurance is part of armwrestling. Gotta win 3. If you don't have the endurance to last to the end, you didn't train hard enough. Just my opinion.

WOW this match. I believe is going to remind some of us the Intensity of the marvin hagler and thomas hearns fight. Its going to be Insane, But A controlled mayhem of speed and power. And Who wants it the most. Good Luck to both of these armwrestling legends.
