I have just witnessed an absolutely dreadful ruling error in this great contest that will destroy the integrity of this great sport if it is not dealt with immediately. In round 5, Ermes twice got Levan on the defensive and was about to push home the win and what did levan do...his elbow slipped off the pad and the ref stopped the match with a Levan saving elbow foul. This happened twice and the second time, Levan was allowed to sit down, rest and suck on oxygen to regain his strength. This will now become a professional tactic...as soon as you are about to lose, just 'accidentally' pull your elbow off the pad, have a sit down, have a break and have another go. Total and utter disaster for arm wresting.

Really hope Ermes doesn't increase his pancake diet and stay decently healthy, he always says he doesn't want to get much more weight, we don't want another Levan or prime Denis! Levan will lose some weight, he's gonna probably lose a bit of power but in the exchange of less risks and more endurance In this case Ermes will still be always remember as the man who got the best fight against the most powerful version of Levan (in terms of raw power), even in the case he won't be the first to deafeat him, he already wrote history

if levan loses fat, he will lose, since weight pressure is an essential guarantee of his victory. Even with an overweight of 55kg, he almost lost the fight several times, if it gets easier, he will not have a chance. but if he stays in the same shape, he will start having problems with cardiovascular and endurance, which he doesn’t have very much anyway. result: Levan's time as a pseudo-king, pressing with weight - is coming to an end, whatever one may say

I wonder how many people will notice that the commentator's actually said Levan is in a King's Move. Watch 5th round and imagine holding the most powerful guy + 200kg of his bodyweight hanging on Ermes's hand but he's fuc_in killing it I think Levan wanted to take the forfeit loss rather than officially get pinned. Real controversy starts from round 3 & middle of round 5 where Levan fouled in losing position. Ermes could have easily won round 3 & 5. Then round 6 would have become epic. The difference is, Those earlier fouls favoured Levan when Ermes had the momentum to pin.. And yes this was before the eventual quitting, Ermes could have had 3 pins.

People are freed up to appreciated the battle on the field, knowing that what happens on the battlefield stays on the battlefield. Each man here was pushed to the limit by each other’s opponent, giving them a chance to rise to their very best abilities. Ermes was also a winner because he stood up to perhaps the greatest arm wrestler ever and held his own. THAT’S bragging rights. And for Levan, he felt he was finally pushed to his very limit and could actually see how far he could go. I’m certain that being a champion without worthy opponents can feel like a gilded cage after a while. Here, he felt completely alive and doing what he was meant to do, and Ermes gave him that gift.

Sorry to geek out here, but this kind of fight is epic and even reminds me of the legend of Gilgamesh, where he fights and barely beats Enkidu, realizing that the man opposing him is his warrior brother.

And when they see the same in their opponent, they cannot help but to see themselves in that other person.

@@kennethjaffe576 Don't worry. I don't fault you for geeking out. I don't think we have people with enough character integrity now days either to come forth in politics. And i think we'd only see it shine when they loose a race with dignity lifting their opponent while still saying they'll do better, w/o the trash throwing during campaigns. Unfortunately we have some foul people in sports as well. Doping... And the soccer players who super fake damage during any contact. Hell, even the legend Lance Armstrong used PED's and no matter how much he did train for real will always be shamed because he did cheat outside the parameters given to everyone. But take Devon Larrat for example. He talks trash and is generally an asshole, but he's entertaining and always gives his opponent respect at the end, win or loose, i can respect that. And as you say Levan was pushed and happy about it. He even said it was the best match of his life. I was glad to hear that, because now i think he'll put even more effort in the future training, still feeling that motivation to improve. I was very surprised myself watching this match. Levan felt out of reach after the Devon match. Now game is on and hunting season for the champ title is back on the table.

What levan does is basically hold your hand and sit down, hoping his weight will do all the job. Even his pulldown thrust are all executed on his weight. But hold his hand for a few seconds there and levan is unable to hold that position and gets up, which is the time to counter levan, and which is what Ermes did here.

But I gotta say: Levan knew he would have lost every time he was not able to close rapidly, so...OOOOPS!
