I personally think Brzenk is the best 198lb'er out there period. If he can make the weight class, he is unstoppable at that weight. I have also watched videos of Maximov. He is unbelievable as well. Just some food for thought!!

who in the US. who has pulled these Europeons, and how did they fare? I have never seen Klimenko or Maximov, but sounds like if they show up, then like in zloty, USA pullers will have to be on top of their game. Since i will be trying to bring these guy's together, i wont give my predictions. Everyone that will pull in this i think has a chance. What i can say is, I know the capabilities of ..Selarius, Abbott, Bonguard, Brzenk, Hughes. ect.. Most everywhere these names came up as the best. We must get these pullers together soon.. Hey Sol, you can watch Klimenko vs. Taras Ivankim at www.proarm.comAfter you click on videos, just scroll down after the Zloty Tour matches... You will find the match above....Taras Ivankim beat Ron Bath once and than lost in the final losers to Ron Bath, and gave hell to John Brzenk, had Brzenk down to about 2 inches from the pad....and Klimenko beat Taras twice quite convincingly earlier this year.... Klimenko is the reason why Taras did not go to S. Africa World Championships!!! Klimenko has got to be the top 198 lbs... 1.Klimenko 2.Taras 3.Bongard 4.Selearis 5.Abbott |

Amedeo.
I went and watched the match between the two...Klimenko vs.Taras!! He did seem to handle taras with little difficulty, but can we say that taras was as "On" that day, like he was in Zloty? just a thought. Could one say then that This Klimenko could beat john? based on taras giving a struggle to john in Zloty? I am not willing to say that though! Yes i think John would defeat klimenko, should he decide to pull in an event with him! (don't take that as a prediction) I think Taras was strong in zloty and wonder if he could duplicate his performance again with U.S pullers! This will take some major work to bring this about, but it would send shockwaves in the armwrestling "World". .....Thanks Sol

1-brzenk 2-klimenko 3-taras 4-maximov 5-fadzinov I agree with you on that list, Engin. I haven't seen Fadzinov pull much, so I'm not sure about him, but you're probably right as usual when it comes to things like this. How do you think Bongard and Selearis would do against Fadzinov? John is on top of that list, but he's definately the one who's trained the least out of those (the last years). I would love to see what would have happened if his arm was fresh and ready for training again. Klimenko would have bounced like if he was hit by a wall. |

I have had similar feelings about Klimenko.
I think we could be looking at the next big legend ( after John) in Armwrestling.
Beating Voevoda wow dont know about that though

Remember, Klimenko is still a TEENAGER! 2 World titles, 1 at 17 in Springfield 2002 and this year.
This year Klimenko won the Junior Europeans both arms, and then the next day won the Seniors against Taras, again with both arms!

Damn, I need to start taking whatever these Europeans are taking! I don't think you can buy it at GNC though...

And there are more of these young Eastern Europeans coming, there were several very bad ass juniors in South Africa, including the kid from Slovakia at 70K that finished 1st right and left in the Juniors and 4th right 2nd left in the open class.
Klimenko was otherworldly in both divisions.

Well..Well..Well
Klimenko seems to be a Bad Boy! still a teenager..WOW! I really want to try to get him here. I see he won in S. Africa too. Who has a contact with him? Engin? This would be very much like a Zloty, only over here! Matbe we should listed to ZHANNA..she is very sure of this guy! So what about Abbotts Hook? kenny's determination, Selarius pizazz! Razor Rau..Kevins speed! These guys must want to pull these europeons...I will talk with Denise to see if we can reach these guys.. Thanks
