Great to see Tara's back. He was at one point the gold standard in toproll. I would love an opportunity to have a rematch after all this time and see what time has done to both of us :)

Great to see another legend getting into the sport again, always been a fan of Ivakin... His first comeback in 2013 didn't go well, it's maybe too late, but if he believes he can do it let's see it...

[@evne2121]

Tim Bresnan is way older than taras and he is still one of the best armwrestlers

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Bresnan never stopped armwrestling like Taras, he kept himself in shape and at the highest level all these years... Ivakin disappeared for years, had a brief comeback in 2013 and lost, then disappeared again until now, and in both cases he wasn't/isn't as big and muscular as he was in his prime years in the early to mid 2000s...

[@hemingway3508]

Do you think Oleg will comeback?

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Sadly no, outside of all the massive injuries he sustained (he's currently re-learning how to use his left arm/hand for everyday's needs, let alone armwrestling), psychologically this unfortunate accident was a huge hit for him, losing his father who pushed him to succeed in armwrestling, and his great friend Pushkar... It's sad to say but i don't see how he can come back to the sport like he was, but maybe he will surprise us, going to take years and years though...

We need him back.Since their match in 2006, I always wanted to see if Devon could hold himself against Taras's hit. a Mask v Ivakin match would be awesome. Too bad he isn't in shape anymore.

[@3enjamin]

He looks thin and skinny compare to himself in the past. He used to has one of the most muscular arms back then (in ratio to body). His arms were musculous.

[@shawwwnmonntes2798]

@Andrei Andrei2 If he really comes back I would say that would change and he would get back on, would be great to see Devon get a shot at revenge if Taras can get back on cycle and give him a fight. Devon would want that match I would think as well.

[@fistoftulkas7335]

I would love to see a comeback from Taras. Brzenk is older and he came back. Devon is slightly older and doing very well for himself. I've been following Taras's old workout routine from armpower.net way back when. It's great because it's a program that I can follow at my commercial gym which doesn't have training tables or special training equipment.
