    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.

      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.

MMT looked strong, but just couldn't stop that vicious pronation and those savage hits from Genadi.

      @Alexandros I agree but it wasn't only the audio quality, perhaps there were too many "live" microphones and we could often hear people talking over each other. Raymond was pretty good at his work as the compere introducing people on the stage and a quick chat after each fight, but I sometimes wished he was a bit more quiet during the fights and setups. It sometimes sounded like a bunch of guys having fun in a bar watching a soccer match. At times the drama of the setups and fights was enough without constant talking over them. Still I'm glad I paid for (supported) the event as it was still epic and Engin deserves a lot of credit for his efforts to make this event happen at all.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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 👍

How much should one pay before he has the right to complain about a bad quality event? 50-100 euro? its no ones fault if not enough people buy it or the athletes don't get paid enough but the promoters or who is putting on the event. He can get sponsors and so on. I do think people have a got point. For the money it was a bad live stream and that takes nothing away from the great card and matches.

There are just not enough people watching and i think were it to be more expensive even less people would watch. My point is if find it kind of silly people praising the event and saying the problems were minor. Sound was crackling or unintelligible pretty much the whole way through. Camera and replays were all over the place, cameras shaking zooming in and out. Honestly it really looked like some random person picked up the camera and decided to film the event at times. I do think Engin did a great job with the card and getting all the athletes together, but the rest of it was pretty bad. Another point i would make is the stream got interrupted and then as soon as it came back up they would continue like nothing happened. Wait for the people to reconnect so they can actually watch the matches.
