TODD HUTCHINGS VS KHADZIMURAT ZOLOEV | ARMWRESTLING SUPER MATCH 2021

[@Zenzuu]

What's amazing is John at age 57, just beaten Zoloev again today. The man is truly the goat.

[@willstuart4504]

Ikr... I mean the guy looks like a grandpa who works part-time as a Wal-Mart Greeter 😁... but put Brzenk on a table and he becomes his opponent's worst nightmare. He's just not human. And Tbh, I actually think if John keeps training and doing these Super Matches for another 6-8 months, he'll be even MORE like his younger self and then I'd like to see if Devon could beat him.!?! John's always been better when he's NOT at his heaviest. He just had Zero endurance in that KOTT match. Either way.... it's awesome to see him pulling and dominating again. 👍

stopping a match cuz of a foul is quite the blue balling rule, running fouls is the way to go

True it’s no different than slipping before getting pinned. And slipping before getting pinned means you lose, this should be a runner, which would also mean you almost surely lose the match.

Zoloev and Hutchings always have an amazing dynamic. Zoloev is faster and more explosive, Hutchings is stronger and more enduring. Always fun to watch them.

[@saguimmare7130]

The thing here is that when Hutchings and Zoloev where hook matched in the earlier years, Hutchings continued to focus on this side pressure/hook. While Zoloev kind of let it go and start to diverse more into top roll to become a more "Complete" arm wrestler.

Honestly for me Todd won this match, first two slips were not pins, then the fact Zol can just move his elbow whenever he wants for a restart. In my opinion this rule set does not show who is the best, and certainly not who is the strongest armwrestler.

[@andyrose8519]

[@SDSen]

@Andre Davies Prudnik is a much smarter and complete puller than Matt, way above him, Prudnik got the job done swiftly, Matt couldn't, he couldn't pin him right off the bat like Prudnik did because of his style the flopped wrist allowed Todd to come back in

Usually Todd is very smart and picks the right move, but this time he looked like a dumb amateur. Why tf didn't he try to toproll to get a slip? Who uses dead wrist side pressure outside of straps?

Everyone knows that Todd is one of the best hookers and sidepressers in the world, just like Haji btw. Everyone were expecting a hook fight, but everyone also seem to forget that Haji is a result oriented athlete, not a showman or smt like that, one of the most decorated armwrestlers ever. Adjusted his technique, preserved strength, focused on speed. Canopened Todd, without much problem. I really like Todd, but Haji got the result and Todd just couldn't adapt. And we can speculate all we want about muh "if they would just hook then Todd would probably overpower etc".

[@lukeno4143]

haji was gassed at the end. todd would win more rounds. but haji just had some bullshit starts and that was it.

[@alexramirez9501]

@@lukeno4143 no he wasn’t., that’s nonsense my guy. Their total score is 2-1 favoring ZOLOEV my guy. Todd beat him bad in that vendetta Supermatch like a decade ago and then ZOLOEV beats him IN A TOURNAMENT IN A HOOK. Again in a tournament in a hook but I have no idea what year and tournament, I just seen the highlight years ago. Now recently ZOLOEV beats him again even flashing him 3rd round with ease. Final round ZOLOEV decide to force the hook but hutchings side pressure and hook is to much still. It’s clear that ZOLOEV change his style a bit and adapted and like many have said became a more versatile complete arm wrestler. Todd has better side pressure and hook because he only focuses on that but that doesn’t makes ZOLOEV weak. In fact he is a world class elite hooker especially from 2010-2015 where he has beaten more often the likes of Rustam, Krasimir, prudnik, sasho, alexey semerenko etc who were the best hookers at the time especially rustam babayev. Todd hutchings has definitely gotten better and stronger and ZOLOEV unfortunately has been getting injured multiple times and not performing to good recently. He got hurt against Dimitri on that December tournament and looked hurt against bryzenk(bryzenk hands is still to much for him though regardless) and then I think he got hurt again in another tournament. I don’t know ZOLOEVs prime but I’m sure if it wasn’t for the injuries he would be improving much like Todd if not better. Take for instance 2019 ZOLOEV that whooped everyone at WAF worlds at 90kg+ and even flashed 2nd place Sasho andreev who has beaten prudnik multiple times and irakli and other elites at that weight class. That ZOLOEV might have been much better than the one that beat Todd recently but who knows right. It’s unfortunate ZOLOEV can’t compete right now and improve and get stronger because of his recent injuries. Hopefully he heals and recovers good and we see ZOLOEV back in prime shape if not better. He is still quite younger compare to many other pros like hutchings,bryzenk and rustam, so he has time to recover better and faster than the older pros .

It's obvious many don't know too much about Khadzi. The bubble of armwrestling extends far beyond the land mass known as North America. There are some real armwrestling beasts in Europe. Khadzi knows Todd has a strong hook so he top rolled him cos it would've been silly to go into a hooking match against Todd. Once Khadzi had the win in the bag then he decided to hook since people there wanted to see a hook match if anyone watched the stream. Khadzi won fair and square. He was the smarter armwrestler. Only hope Todd had was to try go for the strap which he didn't do, most likely due to the rules surrounding the slip. Khadzi won, Todd lost, simple.
