Genadis beard was dominant from the beginning, second round Michaels beard start bouncing little bit more and I started to hope that it was going to make a comeback, but that’s when Genadi started to talk and made his Beard bounce like a maniac. Genadis ability to beard was just to much for Michael. Genadis Beard wins.
hahhahaha now here's the insight i needed
Hahaha
😄👍
Haha fear the beard 🤣
MMT gave his legacy hammer to Devon now he needs to shave off his beard and send it to Genadi
Todd went from thinking he may be the greatest of all time before Larratt, to realizing he may not be top ten right now.
He's definitely not top 10
MT is a one-trick pony. Once other top guys figure out how to handle his king's move like Genadi, he's done.
Every one of the best of all time lose.
Maybe not top 7,but still a kickass guy.
The american dream.
You can see the fear in Michaels's eyes when he looks and realizes the power of Genadi.
Devon took Michael Todd's heart. He hasn't been the same since that sweep
yes.. Devon made that King's move look like nothing...Nad he cracked that too.. Mike was in tears literally in the last round against Devon
Yeah. If you go back and rewatch it, you can see there is a moment. You can see the point at which something inside of Michael...something inside of him breaks. Not his body, not his bones, but his heart. His mind and spirit. A part of him truly died that night. He went into that building the man he had always been, and he walked out with a part of him missing...foever. A part he will never be able to get back. A sparkle, a light in his eyes was distinguished that night. They say there are two horrible days in particular in a man's life. The day he arrives at the realization that he can never do something he loves ever again. And before that, the day he wakes up and knows he'll never be the man he used to be again. It was that moment...on that night, that the second moment came to Todd. He had to do everything he possibly could to get ready for that match. And he arrived and got crushes. It's one thing to lose and know you were just kinda lazy and you could have worked harder. You know there is something you can do to get better next time. But it's horrible to know you did everything you possibly could to get ready tor something....only to find out it wasn't near enough. Only to get crushed. Because that takes away one of the most important things a human being has. Hope. Hope and the knowlege that if only you just work harder, that success can be yours. When you find out that nothing get get you to your goal....hope is destroyed. And when that happens, a part of you dies. Because he knew on that night, he'd never be the Michael Todd he used to be. Knew wherever he was in the list of all time greats, was where he would remain, and he could do nothing more to add to it. Yes, he had not arrived at the one horrible day of a man's life. He could still arm wrestle, even at a world class level, for many years to come. But he had arrived at the second thing. He knew he'd never be what he used to be ever again. And it took a piece of his heart with it.
@@TheGrandmaster1 A lot of people might laugh, but that was incredibly insightful. Never say never though, thats the one thing you should always remember.
@@Slipknockout there is no prime michael he is a sore loser
@@TheGrandmaster1 Yeah everyone noticed that but nobody was weird enough to try to explain it like they're writing an armchair psychology poem.
Gendi's endurance is underrated. Michael's opponents usually burn out with long matches like this. Genadi only seemed to get more dominant as time went on.
Genadi has some of the best endurance in the east supers. Many of his matches are wars and he sure has heart.
Because he was that much stronger.
Yeah MMT got crushed. He is way out of top ten
Did you not see how he out arm wrestled MMT? Michael was almost grabbing him by the wrist in the end of every round
It’s because Mikes pronation is gone. That used to be his go to and with that pronation, he was able to sap his opponents energy while not draining his really.
Little girl: “there’s a monster under the table “
Mom: “ohh don’t worry that’s just michael todd”
This comment nearly killed me :)
and Michael Todd really thought he could stop levan 😂😂😂
I wrote at that time that it was such a ridiculous thing..He's like, who's number one, is it me or Levan..I was shocked he'd even begin to believe that..
Michael Todd can't stop a 5 yr old if he can't get all the way under the table!
@@frankcastle1216 lol
Mike's looking old. Really showing his age. Might be time to hit the retirement tour. Richard Lupkes would be a good opponent.
Haha he put Levan #5 in world before this hahaha
Todd has some problems in Europe where armwrestling is over the table, not under it
if anyone intrested what genadi is talking here it is - in second round he was telling his fellow georgians that "he (michael) wont be able to tire me"
thanks!
Thanks mate
If Geniadi Loses to Ermes i will request someone else - Michael Todd 2021
Just imagine for a second if he would picked up Kurdecha 😂
I analysed the video carefully. Genadi posted some months ago a video about beating the king’s move. He demonstrated in this match how to do it. Look carefully in the first round how he’s climbing towards Michael’s thumb. If you dominate that part of the hand and come over the thumb, you destroy the pronation. This technique together with the side pressure beat Michael. On the other hand, Michael realized in the first seconds of the round that his side pressure was too much, so he couldn’t start with a press, that’s why he went into defense. In my opinion such match is career ending. It also demonstrates how to beat king’s move. Devon applied a different technique to beat king’s move, by using his triceps power. Both victories against Michael Todd are memorable.
Michael pronator is seriously damaged. almost no one here has any clue about what's going on, you don't even follow the sport enough to know micheal fucked up his hand and has not been the same since. It's why he got steamrolled by larratt.
Yes Devon and John have showed that years ago. Nothing new here.
@@robf4605 Devon lost to MMT's King's Move in 2018 before beating MMT last year with the help of "pancakes".
@@megavolt67 actually he's beaten him and lost to him before King of the table.
Devon also did the same thing basically no?
He cupped and beat MT's pronation, climbed his hand, and then he finished off with a press.
Genadi cupped and beat MT's pronation, climbed a lot higher, and then used side pressure + press to finish.
Didnt expect Genadi to win 3-0, very impressive 💪.
It's not impressive. Michael is done.
Todd under the table 🤣
Actually if you’ve followed armwrestling for any length of time you wouldn’t be surprised..MMT got lucky with WAL possibly due to the pad set up but he’s never really been able to beat high caliber opponents.
@@ammarammar5771 No
@@lepsa8323 Yeah that was a random ass comment
Engin AMAZING PPV. Money well spent. One of the best if not thee best I’ve ever seen. You’re a treasure my friend. Thanks for this and thanks to all involved and the amazing competitors who gave it everything they had!!!
Agree.
That's the reason why this ppv will be beaten soon enough, the line up was unmatched but the production was AWEFUL. Connexions issues, lags, trash audio and mics. You could barely hear the commentary being annoying background white noise most of the time.
I enjoyed the show tho!!!
Ppv was terrible bro the audio and everything I would not pay for anything but arm warms or wal again the audio was horrible dude what did you watch 12 bucks for that? I was pissed terrible production
@@KlabauterManiac there were quite a few audio issues.
@@forpie7880 yep, line up was exquisite audio was a mess.
I paid and only got to see 2 matches at the end. The rest were all shocking. Either buffering or just not letting me in. I have contacted core sports and had no response. Infact you can't even access there contact page. They are hiding from all the refund emails
Really enjoyed the ppv...great video production but had to have Ryan Bowen channel on for commentary due to poor audio... Looking forward to the next one thanks for best card ever Engin!!
This makes it clear how strong Ermes Gasparini has become 🇮🇹🔥, and Kurdecha in turn🤯
@@esestlloco exactly lol he was wondering if facing genadi would help solidify his rank or not
@@nvmffs I think he would’ve won anyway
Damn, imagine how much stronger Ermes is and then imagine Levan vs Michael.
@@nvmffs horseshit, if he injured his wrist it wouldn’t have recovered in a month. Genadi injured his wrist years ago, before he faced Chaffee, it’s healed up now.
Imagine Kurdecha :0
Imagine how strong kurecha is when he destroyed ermes.
@@jacure123 imagine how strong Chaffee is destroying Kurdecha
@@Mk-xi1vg and we’re back to how unimaginably strong Genadi is crushing M.Todd😂
I thought Genadi might get tired after the second round, but he looked as fresh and strong as in the first round. MMT looked strong, but just couldn't stop that vicious pronation and those savage hits from Genadi. It seemed like out of straps, MMT had a chance with the open toproll, but then the slip happened and it was all Genadi in the straps.
@@Slipknockout The rules in Eastern competition prevent him from going below the table with this shoulder. WAL rules allowed him to dip farther down. MMT fought most of his fights in the West where the rules were much more loose. It could take him years to adapt to a new style where he would be competitive again at this high level.
I can't believe MMT lost. 🙀
Todd is so weak, so weak
@@maxxxmodelz4061 Remember another factor are the pads, they are different..smaller and not at the very edge of the table like the ones on the wal league. This is the main thing.
@@ober7250 That's probably true, but MMT himself said the pads weren't a problem. I forget which video it was, but it was after the Larratt match sometime. Maybe it was in a live with someone, but I do recall him dismissing that theory that it had anything to do with the Larratt loss, so I don't know. The problem really seems to be he just can't get into the King's like he used to. Can't get low enough. If it's the pads or the rules or maybe both?
Dominant victory for Genadi!! Strong come back after losing to Ermes.
Ermes destroyed him and he would do it again today. It seems Michael should think about retirement.
@@MasonStormSunny Don't be so sure. Gena is in animal mode too.
Can u imagine how strong is Alex Kurdecha who beats Ermes )
@@romanbellic271 Alex Kurdecha is stronger than Vitaly I think. He is the only threat to Levan.
@@iannovak5223 It would be awesome to see Kurdecha vs Laletin match /// and lets be honest there is no real threat to Levan )
I watched with ppv but ıcan watch multiple times for the whole event. Thanks Engin Terzi for the organization such a great event. I think everybody loved and enjoyed it and waiting the next one.
Thanks for putting on the contest. Some amazing matches.
შემოგევლე ქართველოოოო როგორც ახლა ჩვენი გულებიი გაახარე და წარმატება მოუტანეე ჩვენს სამშობლოს , ისეთივე წინსვლა გქონდეს ცხოვრებაში ❤❤❤
Thank you for all you do Engin Terzi. I would like to see you compete some more. You are a fun guy.
🔥🔥🔥
Engin, thank you for this awesome event 👏👏👏
I watched Game of Arms on AMC in 2014. RIP Kenny Hughes
I love how Todd was like "What?!" after he was called for an elbow foul in the second round. So many times he should have had elbow fouls called in WAL but never did because of refs, politics whatever. The refs here did a great job allowing competitors to get into straps, but calling matches fairly
That's because Bart Wood is a sad excuse for a referee. He keeps calling "no foul" even when Michael LIFTS his elbow off the pad
I like michael todd but you're right. He had many fouls before lol and now, bart isn't here to save him 😅
At 12:38 those were insane hits. Most arms could break with that intensity. Just shows how strong these athletes are.
It was mostly Todd bone lock doing all the job.
there has been a few people get bone surgery because of this move hyperextending their joint. Todds genetics are saving him but it wont last forever
Thank you Engin for such an awesome event!
Genadi methodically dismantled the King's move with those quick hits. That really weakened Michael
Thanks for the video!
What a great fight. Thanks for the swift upload, Engin.
This was a great card, I enjoyed watching these matches all day. Thank you engin your awesome putting this event for the people 👏
Makes you respect Ermes even more
Thank you Engin!
Hey Engin i loved the Event and cant thank you enough for the effort you put into this! The sound issues were the only thing what bothered me. Especially if you are new to the sport like me and you are not familiar with different techniques it is very important to be able to hear the commentaters i think. I know this technical issues are out of your reach and you're not the one who should be bothered with this complains but maybe you can forward this information to coresports. Thanks again Engin! 👍
thank you soooooo much engin for putting this on ur channel
thanks for getting this up so fast. didnt have the cash for the ppv but didnt wanna pirate it either. I hear the ppv was amaing. I will definitley buy the next one. great job engin
I really appreciate you Engin for throwing such a great event it was awesome can't wait for the next one I will buy the next pay-per-view like I bought this one
Great event Engin, but it is needless to say that the audio was less than amateurish level. We had sound from almost every random person speaking around, not to mention all the static noise from time to time. Please give more attention to that next time, because i really want to support your efforts. Coresports should also up their streaming game, since the broadcast was interrupted way too often...
You realize there is no money in this right. This guy was basically putting up his own money. Not enough people pay.
@@Justinsox39 You realise that for people to be inclined to buy again a ppv, some basic standarts need to be met though, right? Don't intent to slight Engin, i am giving him some important (to me at least) feedback.
Blame Coresports
@@Edgaros well Until more people start paying it’s going to be hard for events to be held. The fans need to step up their game so they have the money to put on higher quality production. These guys aren’t making shit
It happened before when it sounded like the mic was inside Michael Todd’s mouth lol
Genadi was watching a lot of Devons 6-0 against MT. HAND CONTROL>>>>> BEATS KINGS MOVES
Very happy for Genadi. May he get his rematch with Dave Chaffee soon.
Still not ready for chafee i guess , to be honest i supoort genady but chafee still higher , unless genady fix his wrist,
Awesome. More worthless fights. Might as well, nothing else is happening.
@@user-zz5og2lf7p are u kidding me ? U dont know chafee than , dont compare to levan , much miire weight and nb1 , pls ,
@@user-zz5og2lf7p bro levan is a beast, nobody can move him , even vitaly with all his power hit,, levan is in legendary lvl ,, but remember chafee vs cyplinkov
Not supporter of west wrestler , but this is the truth , chafee still a beast
@3:52 round one
@8:12 round two
@9:40 restart
@12:15 round 3
Thanks #Timestamp #Armwrestling 🦾💯😎🤘👍💪
What an amazing match, good comeback for Genadi. He is a beast and Michael did well up till the first round but people have figured Mike out. Amazing contest and I would love to see Dave vs Genadi 2
I actually think Mike might not be 100% regarding his nerve damage and pronation but who knows. Great match nevertheless
I was thinking the very same! Genadi vs mr chafee
Michael claimed he was recovered, I think Michael needs to take a bunch of matches to get his groove back. Maybe doing 1-2 matches a year is a bad thing
@@Me-wk7dz yes I agree there is nothing worst than competition rust, he needs to be more active. Maybe him Vs Matt mask would be a good start
The best arm wrestling event I ever watched. Period. Thank you Engin.
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing the match!! We appreciate eit
I respect you Engin, but honestly the transmission experience was horrible, I paid R$70,00 (I live in Brazil, so it's more than just paying $12) so that's quite a lot for where I live, and the experience was worse than watching someone stream by his phone.
Audio was horrible, sometimes it would glitch and I swear people could get deaf with that noise, lol.
The event was amazing, but the transmission was really bad. I really hope the guys from coresports step up from this...
Never buy or support those broadcasts when it's overseas from where you live
@@PumaTomten Of course I will, I do this all the time and experience is great. Only exception for this atrocious transmission which everyone was having a problem with.
@@rmmm6725 then go beat em all, sould be easy ...
Engin said people that bought this ppv will get a discount for next east v west because of all the problems
Spectacular Birds!
Amazing video and I’m so happy I paid and got to watch it live
Thanks for posting these engin
Michael Vs Devon: " iam in the best shape of my life“
Michael vs Genadi: " iam in the best shape of my life"
Epic battle! I'm so happy for kvikvinia,he came back strong after a loss,he looks great. Really happy to him pull top guys again.
Good stuff. I'm glad Engin and team fixed the way the commentary and audio is for the videos of the event.
Thank you so much Engin
Quality looks great!
Michael and Genadi kinda looked like two ancient warriors battling it out especially with those impressive beards. Anyway I think Devon Larratt's win over Michael in Dubai seemed to opened a door of technique on how to beat Michael Todd. No doubt Genadi must have studied that fight very closely and it's obvious Michael went into this fight with the same style and technique as he did against Devon. It didn't turn out well for him just like in Dubai. I think it's time for him to rethink, reinvent and reshape his style and technique. No matter what anyone says, MMT is still a legendary armwrestler. All the elite armwrestlers respect him. He will make a comeback no doubt.
Yeah it was totally a beard vs beard match.
It's not a secret with magical equations, anyone who knows the range of our anatomy, can come up with a plan. Sure, Michael was underestimated a bit, because his arm is nigh unbreakable, and you can see the surprise when it doesn't go, when his opponents think he should be losing, as in- continuing to lose. Genadi knew what he had to do,and has talked about it several times, before Devon vs Michael. Even though they're professionals, it's still "just" armwrestling, and for sure there are some guys outsode the sport, who would know where they stand in a match with zero training, just body knowledge. Everything has carryover and there's no "zero" training. Like Khaled, who had zero AW training, yet has proba ly done more work and life related lifting than most of the pros at a significantly younger age.
Amazing Match and a great PPV Event, thank you Engin, great Job
Watching the whole event again and I have to say, congratulations Engin on organising one of the best competition of the last decade!
Great event, well done Engin !!
Good show 💪👍
Good match. Genadi is in good shape
Amazing quality.. great job by engin, Janis & coach
Awesome event, Engin. Only complaint was micrphone quality, but as a whole the event you put together was AMAZING. I am looking forward to buying the next ppv!!!
This was an amazing event! Elbow pad size makes a big difference for certain styles.
Thanks for the video. Paid for the event, doing my part to help support the sport. Wish all these people didn’t steal all the content.

Congrats to Genadi.... The real monster is Genadi!!!!
Wonderful battles!!!
Love this match, i already saw it like 10 times
Sometimes when I'm having a bad day, or feeling mentally weak, I'll come watch this video bc it makes me happy and it reminds me that no matter what, I'll never be a sheep like Todd
I’d recommend DMT vs Ongarbaev too 😮💨🤌🏼
Michael is out of top 10 for sure.
When i saw the video at my feed, i was surprised how a video is just 14 min log when MMT is in the thumbnail. I had to click to witness it. Here i am
Great match.. thx Engin 💪💪💪
Best of luck to ''Marshmallow Michael Todd''
Michael was randomly there in Istanbul for vacation
Great even Engin !! Congratulationss you deserve it !!!
I'm even more impressed what Ermes did to Genadi now
Отличный формат, прекрасный турнир! Спасибо организаторам!
Great match.....also heart breaking
Great invent!!!
Sensacional recomendo!!!! Very amazing!!!
This highlights how good Ermes Gasparini is right now....
გენო გილოცავ გამარჯვებას და კიდევ ბევრ გამარჯვებებს ძლიერი მეტოქე გყავდა.
Monster Micheal Todd...Always a fan. Keep your head up buddy. You are an awesome and strong athlete.
Awesome battle! Geniadi is like a mad dog. He and Dave would be a fun fight to see. 💪
Monster Michael Todd is still a champion and for him to keep competing at the highest level is just amazing. I will always watch his matches
Engin Bravo!
Finally this channel is getting the subs and the views it deservers.
What I saw in round one was Genadi a bit higher in the setup, however Micheal then stopped the match, for a minute it looked like Genadi was stuck, then he started climbing and seemed to be able to do it easily, could have been a loose strap but also good hand strength by Genadi
It’s the same thing that happened in the Devon Larratt match, Devon got on top of his hand and climbed very easily because MMT’s pronation seems to be completely gone at this point. I think it’s safe to say MMT is no longer in the conversation for Top 10. He needs to just face lower ranked guys like Mask, Hutchings, Brzenk from here on out. He can’t beat anyone in Top 10
@Arm Wars - Siłowanie na rękę Kurdecha i think still bit lower than Vitaly. But the remaining i think 4. Devon, 5. Ermis, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 i think between Chaffee, Trubin, Genadi, M. Todd, Cadoret,
@@HandelandJ Yeah difficult to say indeed. I think Brzenk might even win from Cadoret, Todd, and maybe even 2 more if he continues getting into his top shape haha.
@Arm Wars - Siłowanie na rękę Yeah but Alex lost to kostadinov while Vitaly beat Kostadinov quite easy. But Alex beat Ermis. So difficult to say haha. Still i think Vitaly is still stronger. Close below Levan
I’d say the match to make right now for MMT is Derek Smith.
Genadi too strong. 💪👑
Im very surprised, holding kings move like that is very impressive as we know Genadis weak point was wrist and he turned it in to the strong point.
btw if genady will overcome his injuries and will hold dead wrist like he was doing in the past, i see him in solid top 3.
Michael's hand is broken its not that Gennadi has a fixed wrist, Ermes popped his hand back like he was opening a beer tin.
@@TheMightySilverback_ Before Genadi faced ermes he was 4-5 years inactive and he needed someone to test his weakneses after such inactivity. Tbh i still think that he could win against Ermes if he was prepeared for it right way
Genadi looks healthy again. Dude is a threat to everyone now. He’ll only get better.
@@strategygames5038 Gennadi won't have changed much if at all since facing Ermes, Michaels arm was strong enough to stonewall Gennadi in an even grip, his hand is done and the leverage advantage became literally impossible to overcome. Gennadi is also very smart in the table but his strategy wouldn't have been so simple prior to the nerve issue Michael had and or whatever else caused the massive decline in his hand. You can see it vs Devon in dubai vs their wal match also.
@@strategygames5038 that was an injured emres tho
When MMT caught and established control in the first round in the strap, I thought he was gonna win. Well done by Genadi to recover and overpower him.
I wish these athletes were in the Olympics would be one of the best Olympic sports .
Mike's trying to go through Genadi instead of around him. If he hit back instead of sideways and kept his riser high, he would have had more dominance over Genadis hand, but instead he's letting Genadi get around and over him and taking all the hand control. Michael could have won this with a slightly different strategy and more patients. But Genadi did awesome, exactly what he needed to do 👍
Maybe not have won the whole thing. Because Genadi would of adjusted. But Todd would of definitely won a couple rounds forsure with what you are sayin.
You can’t watch that match and say mike was stronger than him in any facet. Covid has stretched peoples peaks out way longer than they should in arm wrestling because no one competed for years basically and now that everything’s coming back(sorta), the so called top guys aren’t anymore. Devon is going to be absolutely manhandled by Levon And that pains me to say.
@@BHavensFree I never said that Mike is stronger, Genadi is obviously stronger, but Mike should have kept more rising pressure on Genadis hand and attacked his fingers more. I'm sure he could of got Ginadis wrist back and then been able to sit a lot better in the kings move for the long win.
Mike was simply outclassed. Todd is not in top 5 to 10 anymore and never will be.
@@BHavensFree Larratt can still beat anyone else in the world. Levan has been destroying everyone. Devon will be better prepared than anyone. That gives him a chance. If he wins your entire argument is wrong. Here's to hoping.
I think it's time for Micheal Todd to call it.. hes never had side pressure, and lately seems he has even less of it. On top of that, not even kings move is helping him anymore. It's time.
Engin You are the best one
Everyone being on the mic sounds dope I love it
I didn't know who would win, but I also didn't think Genadi would hold up as well as he did in certain areas during a match like this, so I think this is a great demonstration of how good he currently is.
This is why Europeans are dominating the sport, they do heavy lifting, and Americans don't.
Ye they always doing heavy arm wrestling workouts... Americans just arm wrestler their buddies for training
@@dante19890 Europeans are more advanced in all aspects most of the time
such good sportsmen, both of them
The past couple years have really brought our attention to the east and Genahdi is my favorite East heavyweight!👍💪
