Hey, Michael. My name is Deven, and you did a Cameo for my birthday not very long ago. I just wanted to say thank you, and I was actually shocked when I realized you were talking to me on the video. 😂 Thank you.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday 💪💯

If anything it was a microfoul, and they usually don't call these on EvW.

I just realized Genadi fouled at the same time, so they should have either done nothing or just stop the match but not give a foul to Devon (since Genadi fouled at the same time).

If Devon didnt play as much round 1, he would have won that match. Other than that his loss here made him change his training a bit more to inside as well. So it was a good lesson for him.

[@levansaginashvilisleftfore6800]

If Devon didn't play as much in round 1, Genadi would have had even more gass tank and be stronger and less tired. so..

[@bdbrolly]

If they didn't call a phantom elbow Devon bleeds him out and inch from the pad and Genadi would have been spent by the second round. The refs handed so much to Genadi. Just look at the shoulders on Genadis first pin with the flop pressm they fully square up Devon and never even look at Genadi when he is damn near sideways already in his press setup. It was pathetic.

[@bdbrolly]

Even Genadis final pin he false starts and the refs let it go.

Your riser is much stronger now. I think this match will be very competitive and you have a good shot. I also think you focusing on keeping your arm tight like you are now as well will help you a lot too. Looking forward to the match.

[@johnharrisonschulz]

Gennadi can change it up in an instant. He knows his Lanes like the back of his hand. His IQ is higher than what people might credit him for. I really think he outsmarted Devon which is why he won. D vs. G was more of a psychological game.

[@IHateYouTube-sr1wj]

Everyone knows Genadi has one of the highest table iqs out there and is also not afraid to cheat and play dirty if the situation calls for it. That was the main selling point of this whole matchup, people were eager to see how Genadi would match wits with Devon and we got our moneys worth.

[@catraaa5261]

Not at all. It's not as complicated as people make it seem. The whole match was: Devon being perfectly square, refs still tell him to turn into a whole mathematical square shape, Genadi on the other hand wasn't even close to square. He elbow fouled and false started as well MULTIPLE times. This wasn't a match, it was a joke. I don't blame Genadi at all, I credit him where it's due, he took what he got, he's definitely smart and strong. Refs were DEFINITELY either biased or shouldn't have ever gotten the job LOL.

[@yuleassagai1684]

Michael, you have perfected the partial bone lock kings move, and I get that it's super exhilarating to win against these big dudes doing that, but there's a reason it's so controversial and draws so much hate. It just doesn't look right. And I'm not hating on you. You have a lot of grit and determination, and you're a great armwrestler. But with that said, are you capable of competing against the top monsters without relying so heavily on that technique? Would love to see it. If not, I guess a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. I get it.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Winning within the rules is all that matters

[@mero8351]

That’s also like asking if Vitaly could “win against these big dudes,” pulling in a hook. Why not ask Jerry to toproll or morozov to flop press. They have their lanes, Michael pulls in other positions also.

[@yuleassagai1684]

​@@MonsterMichaelTodd I understand. It's a battle at the table. Good luck against Genadi. He's got great endurance for such a big guy, and he's got his berserker mode moments where he goes crazy. Gonna be an interesting match. Wish you good health and great victories.

[@NickDigger3000]

Give it hell ! You got this 💪

[@Joel-McConnell]

It looks to me from both your match and Devon's match combined that if you are unable to press Ganadi you are going to have a hard time wining. Devon took everything from him but then had trouble finishing him. So it is either that or maybe this time you can try and tire him out in the open top roll but then you still have to be able to press him to finish him. And these Georgians seem to have the open top roll figured out so I am not sure about that option. I would be putting everything I had into stopping him in the center on go and then pressing him, but you will have to be able to finish him which looked about impossible for Devon. You both want to outlast the other guy and then pin them once they are gassed out but Ganadi also has excellent endurance so yeah I am going for the first option, to try and stop him in the center and get him into a press as fast as possible. Basically become Jerry C. for the day! lol!....This sort of training could work in both you and Corey's favor for both of your matches as Corey is going to have to be able to stop Kamil's press.....

[@giancarloconstantino1193]

Michael is very humble and truly dedicated to progress/development. riser is good pronation cup and back pressure and triceps/press chain. only one last thing he needs inner bicep strength in case he gets palm up or for absorbing the clash Michael has such a strong bicep but inner supinated bicep needs to be trained to complete his arm.

Genadi’s flop press is very close to his body. When he got his whole frame behind that press Devon just couldn’t stop it. The fact that he could push Devon off the pad in the strong and committed position Devon was a dominant display of raw power. Great breakdown. I learned way more in this breakdown than when I watched it live.

Devon won that round one was a joke. Would have been a clean sweep. I agree with one thing.when genadi gets amped out over time he becomes crazy strong. His adrenaline is what it is he slowly gains it rather then a dump all at once.

[@IvanCuk19]

0:31 no Mike not probably you definitely should be prioritizing the setup since your kingsmove will rely very much on your leverage through the riser. If you let Genadi start vertical against you and take your riser then it will be a rough night for you, start vertical with him and don’t worry about the referees they can’t foul you out since they need you for the paperviews. Wish you best of luck against Genadi. PS: Please practice the setup nonstop, vertical vertical vertical.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

lol. Pretty sure I’ve been fouled out a couple times. But thank you for the support.

[@IvanCuk19]

@@MonsterMichaelTodd Maybe if you’re going overboard, im not in the east vs west inside circle and management of who gets ref calls and who gets a pass on one aspect vs another. I do know Mr. Larratt in this match was allowed to do whatever tf he wanted. 54cm etf vs 51cm and yet Genadi is forced to grip low. Although Devon is a canalization rat, he makes good points. Such as when you establish height through the riser in the setup with your longer lever or stronger hammer curl pressure (most of time it’s longer arm lol) then they are forced to slide down your hand, to which then you no longer need to prioritize riser anymore since you’ve won it already, now you gotta attack their pinky so they can’t chase you. With you because you can kingsmove only chance Genadi will have is to try to press you if he loses his riser. However your performance against Kamil recently suggest to me Genadi will not be able to win through press.

[@666Necropsy]

great match booked. just imagine if jerry wins. you know what Ermes would do lol. then you guys.

Devon got caught with his pants down in this match. He went from dominating and becoming overconfident, to being caught in a flop press that he couldn’t stop. It was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen tho.

[@justinhoskins2569]

Guaranteed your match with Genadi will be match of the night and most likely the longest.

[@ordinarygamer1353]

I think with your style you have a good chance against Levan. The only thing we’ve seen in real life is that even if Levan gets his hand taken away (see Devon vs Levan rematch) he now has a flop press which can conserve energy in the hand enough for him to then top roll later

[@modernyin6275]

I think the Devon that held Levan would destroy Genadi but here Devon looked maybe 51 percent while genadi looked 49 but once Devon surprisingly gassed out he got destroyed 1 percent strength isn’t enough to win shit even 10 percent can not win if you know what you doing

[@stephensarms]

Stylistically, a healthy version of you both will be the fight of the night. But at this moment, from all you've learned and improved, you might even get a flawless performance like Ermes did. Good luck Monster. As long as there is no cheating, I love armwrestling.
