[@The_magic_mountain33]

Wouldn't be close if that manipulation king move wasn't involved.. it is for the weak manipulators who rely on nothing but cheating .. michael Todd also does the same until his opponent is drained from being 1 or 2 inches for the pad forever. This is real facts..

[@kyojurocamiguing5643]

Best match so far, I am one of the people who got surprised because I don't really know him, but as an Asian I'm really proud, this match is probably the toughest Todd fought so far

Almost nobody else has held on like Yoshinobu Kanai did.

[@Zenzuu]

Definitely the best match of the event. Pure old-school arm wrestling no complaining or whining about setups, no yelling, and so on. Just two world class athletes going at it and respecting each other, as it should be. Yoshi proved that he still has it after all these years.

[@Average1212]

sportsman like......... Don't get me wrong I love this match and both pullers but yoshi was scummy AF, count how many times he tries to push todd off the back of the pad hoping it won't be noticed. Now don't get me wrong and think i'm against it, just be honest about it at the least. Don't go into comments and selectively shit pin pullers for how they pull then praise others for doing the same thing.

[@rfdiego777]

@@Average1212 I also noticed that, but personally what annoys me is the antics and the humiliation of the opponent. Yoshi was tricky, at some point Todd also tried the same, but the respect was evident and I think that's what resonates with many people
