1:17 Larrat movements perfectly match up with the music :D

lmao i was gonna say that

[@gabrielc6252]

+Dima Kluchko same as @3:20 :D how can anyone even press like that @3:30 without his arm breaking at the elbow? :|

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

+Gabriel C Its about positioning....and strength.

[@destrox7516]

Gabriel C It some beginner was in that position it would probably be arm break.

[@jhernandez1071]

Todd should just hang under the table and armwrestle himself from either side.

[@rudyNok]

Well, technically speaking, Todd should be disqualified in most of his matches. His elbow is NOT on the table, almost everytime, his TRICEPS is on the table, while he hangs down. But triceps is not elbow. Look at 2:15 for example.

[@Csut555]

One of my favourite supermatches ever. Notice how in the first 3 rounds Devon kept trying to enforce his preferred style of armwrestling, to keep climbing and gain the hand advantage. After round 3 when Mike got the 2nd pin Devon realises that Mike has more power than he thought, and also that he can't beat that dirty arm lock with hand strength. So he adapts, and instead of messing about trying to gain hand advantage and armwrestle pretty, he just puts the power down and from there on it was completely one sided. That's the mark of a truly great armwrestler. To be able to recognise where it's not working for you during a match, and to adapt and try something else. Michael Todd can't do this because he only has one move, and that is why even at near 300lbs he still got smoked by Devon.

[@betofernandez5524]

Today's Devon is even more technical (if that's posible), we need him back to this raw power. Same match today probably goes for Todd. He has more strengh than then, and Devon doesn't. This match was gold because you can see how fast Devon change the technique, and how fast responds to the Todd's hits. All about hand movement, angles and power to stop him of course. He was a beast those years.

I like Brzenk and Larratt, for their styles and conduct, but Todd not so much.

[@goku445]

that fits well with Michael's overall style.

[@gencademi9362]

Bruh Devon uses the king's move too

[@VikingII]

Look how in slow-mow at 3:18 you can see the exact moment when Todd went from thinking he was an arm wrestler to realizing that he's not. Back to the floor checking the bottom of the table for gum for the rest of the rounds!

[@jabajaba15]

I was thinking that Todd was douche too but after I watched this video he seemed really nice guy and he explained why he's doing that. you should watch this too. /watch?v=ag8eG76P_yM

[@FreedomFighter2112]

I'm just glad to see Larratt beat Todd. All that cheating didn't help Todd in the long run

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

technomafia123 You was hoping his arm would break at some point? Why the fuck would you hope that happens....to anyone? Who the fuck cares what technique he uses? It doesn`t have to be pretty....as long as it works. If you`re upset because he wins with it...just only highlights how good the technique is, to allow someone to beat another person, that`s stronger. I train for arm wrestling, and though i rarely use that technique, it doesn`t bother me when someone else uses it against me. Ima beat them anyways, or, if i can`t, i`ll adapt and perhaps either try it myself, or make it so they can`t use it effectively.

[@n2053]

+brentlion shut up, that technique is so fucking cheap, and unless u have the special bone lock that Todd has then u can't use it effectively

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

Brute Force Pubstomping Todd doesnt use his bone lock, idiot....and many arm wrestlers used it, and i used it as well. You know nothing, idiot. You only need the strength to do so.

[@lmnts556]

+brentlion He does actually have a lock in his arm, same as Denis Cyplenkov. It locks in the position u see him in most of the time, and it locks before he can pull it all the way up. Todd himself has even spoken about this. So sit down and shut up.

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

Alek N His arm has a lock, doesnt mean he uses it. He`s strong near his bone lock, but cyplenkov doesnt use his, either. It takes a great deal of strength

[@GaeasBlessing]

Todd has such a weird, ugly style. It looks like he is trying to deliberately break his own arm by keeping it on the pad and then hurling his body beneath the table. Kinda nice to see him get handled by Devon.

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

I've used that position before. Very little chance of breaking your arm if you do it right....feels pretty comfortable. Your arm could be forced in a direction its not supposed to go, but you can turn your body to prevent any injuries.

[@JackJosh1994]

[@shipmate3577]

2:11, elbow foul on Todd. Todd's style matches up well against Larratt's style. Todd is one of the few that has similar armwrestling endurance as Larratt. Here, you see Todd still measures up close to Larratt even before he fully went "Under-the-Table" Todd.

[@John-pj5ps]

HOLY SHIT.... The amount of times Todd lifts his elbow off the pad in different directions WITHOUT getting a foul...

You are right! It was absolutely ridiculous how many times Todd had his arm straightened out almost completely with his elbow clearly off the pad so he could more easily try to hang all of his weight on Devon's arm!

[@ThisIsSolution]

I respect both guys. Todd definately has his elbow off the pads the majority of time, but since some flesh is still touching the pad does it negate the penalty because something is touching??

[@TheMightykaz]

@cbpcbp345 Well you wer right. Cadorette got killed at Nemiroff. Is Nemioff much more strict compared to American tournaments?

[@kasparov9]

@headcaseman Didnt' notice that before, thanks for the observation, he did indeed try and get hand control the first 3 rounds.

@kasparov9 have u seen the super match between Todd and Alexey? did Todd had any chance beatinq him?

[@altair227]

my qeustions is who stronger at left between denis and travis and who felt stronger in john's opinion? the other qeustion is whos stronger at right voevoda or larrat ? and the last qeustion is what does he think of rustam and zoleov powers? he faced both who is better than the other?

[@calipso564]

Love how they use every angle of the table, of their body. Larratt is definitely a better all rounded amwrestler, but a well placed tricep press of Todd is the kryptonite of Devon

[@kasparov9]

@InTheHookJohn I agree with your analysis of Pushkar and Denis, Todd will get to number 2 if he can organize a match with Denis. What do you think Todd's chances are in a rematch with Devon in Todd's current new shape? I have a feeling that he's only going to get better.

[@kingchibot7923]

Wait so do the rules say the elbow has to stay on the pad or any part of the arm?

[@Nicko_1]

He's resting on his tricep to raise the height of his arm above his opponents. Which is definitely going to make it hard to pin

[@NiculaRobert]

@kasparov9 probably because liliev is lighter than todd,around 90 kg if i am not wrong....we will see in what shape is liliev at nemiroff 2011

[@paraiieisingularity8403]

Rewatching this after the 406 video released today. I notice that whoever is the most eager/confident in winning... loses. In this match, Todd was over eager and didn't use his under the table strat whereas the match on 9/5.. Devon was over eager/trying to end and ended up draining himself.

[@kasparov9]

For example, Pushkar won Nemiroff this year both left and right. But gets demolished against Devon 5-1 on the left hand in their supermatch. So what would be the point of Nemiroff for Devon? When he can beat the best of Nemiroff in a supermatch?

[@kasparov9]

@gledess When he's closer to the ground his arm is stretched out so he gets more endurance from his joints, it's as if Larratt has to break his arm to beat him, clever tactic...

[@kasparov9]

I hurt my wrist so hopefully heals in time for John. Tell me the questions again before I forget???

[@kasparov9]

@trashbash2001 I think your talking about Voevoda? In that case, yes there has been a great deal of exageration surrounding Voevoda, partly due to 'pulling john' I think. Which really painted Alexey as invincible. Had he hung around for 06,07,08 & 09 and taken on John at his best and Devon also, I think people's opinions wouldnt be as high. Also understand that it's difficult to disprove someone ranting about Alexey as he's not around anymore, so the argument becomes stronger in his favor.

[@calvintrainer1212]

The Tod that beat Pushka 6-0 is different one than the one here. He has refined his method and now can press w/o being fully behind his hand. IMO

[@SS454LS6]

at 2:17 you can literally see all of Todd's elbow off the pad. How is that not a foul?

[@bradreid6057]

I think a good "rule" to add in the future might be that the crease between the upper arm and the bottom of the back of the shoulder (sort of back of the armpit) should not be allowed to drop below the level of the table. Todd is strong, no doubt, and a great arm wrestler; but what he and some others do isn't much measuring arm wrestling prowess. I do think I saw a video the other day where an arm was fully extended but not touching the pad for a loss . . . and the ref called it for the other guy. Makes sense that if the arm is fully extended, you've lost. Brad

[@magicboi18]
