S.

Golemanov vs T. Hutchings

I believe that Stojan will toproll Todd but the question comes after this point..Todd has an incredible side pressure with or without his wrist control..Stojan does not the ability of shoulder press finishing ability as Barbosa used against Hutchings in their supermatch which was a war..and i have seen Stojan struggling against the pullers who can pull with dead wrist (Ruslan and Khadaev).. Hutchings being a full 95kg and possibly near 100kg after the weigh in makes him the favorite of this supermatch..i seriously doubt if Stojan has ever weighed 95kg till today..

In short Todd's victory will not be surprised to me.

70% - Todd

15% - Stojan

15% - tie

A. Pushkar vs M. Todd

Pushkar vs M.Todd will be interesting.Pushkar has an incredible start with his great back pressure followed by a great side hit,while Michael is known with his great endurance and capability of pulling in any position once the match stops somewhere which no matter if only an inch away from the pin pad..

Michael showed that he is at the level of the very best super heavy weights when he pulled against Devon.but this time he needs to be more careful as the PAL has much more strict rules than the rules that Michael pulled against Devon..if Michael's back pressure unables Pushkar's wrist curl during the side hit then Pushkar will be in trouble without any doubt.but if Michael can not do this then it will be a flash pin.if a quick hook move of Michael can lock Pushkar in a neutral position of the match then there can be a some good hook competetion as well but it is hard to catch Pushkar in an equal hook position..

6-0 for Pushkar - 20%

5-1 for Pushkar - 20%

4-2 for Pushkar - 30%

3-3 - 30%

K. Zoloyev vs J. Kadorette

This match unfortunately shows the low competetion level of the super heavy weights competetion in our sport..not till long ago Jerry was no2 on the world unlimited class rankings after beating John Brzenk and (then beat Richard Lupkes)..he weighs about 300 pounds and he did not do well against the eastern pullers at the 2011 Nemiroff event.also in the overalls he lost against 171 pounds puller Zoloev Hadzimurat but i was not sure if he was tired after pulling in heavyweight class or not.in fact Zoloev was the one just had 37 seconds long battle against the legendary Rustam Babayev only some minutes before he beat Jerry,who had a bye on first round.. So this supermatch will show if Zoloev beat Jerry because of Jerry being tired or having a bad day at Nemiroff ... or because he is stronger than Jerry...

In 2007 mohegan sun event both Ron and John were able to block Jerry's dead wrist pressure with their supination and they beat Jerry on that day.it seemed like Zoloev's supinator is strong enough to force Jerry into a hook game and Zoloev's strong rotator dominates Jerry's wrist during the hook position..

Zoloev - 50%

Jerry - 30%

tie - 20%

A. Liliev vs R. Lupkes

IMO Arsen should not try to win with a side hit but should try to row Richard's hammer pressure into his angle with a wrist curl to unable his heavy side pressure..Arsen should not try to target only the hand of Richard as he tried against Pushkar in Istanbul,Arsen needs to do a movement as he did against Gashevski in 2005 EAC (the second match in the final)..

I believe that Richard is stronger than Arsen for sure but if Arsen can toproll Richard's wrist and stop his side pressure before Richard puts his shoulder behind his hand then Arsen will have chance to beat Richard after a tough battle and if Arsen can do this in an early round then because of being much younger than his opponent he will more likely win a possible supermatch against Richard..but if Arsen in a fresh match tries to beat Richard with a straight flash pin then Richard will beat him.JMO...

Arsen - 50%

Richard - 30%

tie - 20%
