He says his right arm is his deadliest weapon.
Vazghen Soghovan will fight in Vendetta in Vegas on the 12th of July, where he will face Chris Gobby from Canada.
Vazghen is a three times world champion and twice European. Each year he also wins the title of the best Armenian sportsman in the USA.
I have no particular toughest opponent – says Vazghen. – I have my problems, methods of dealing with them and to develop solutions. It all depends on me and my readiness for action. So I guess I’m my own toughest opponent. If I’m satisfied with my work, it means trouble for others! I apply a lot of philosophy and emotions to my work, but the most important thing is my brain.
Vazghen says he will not be an easy opponent.
During my years of armwrestling I have worked out a certain style of my own – he says. – I can balance my weights according to season or event. My program also works for people who have trained with me all those years. They gained power fast, and the program is so simple they can do it on their own. I like watching other sports and taking from them training elements applicable to armwrestling. I also observe other armwrestlers and try to emulate their best techniques. I constantly improve my exercises, I like testing new equipment, clothes, supplements or therapies for injuries. As a result I’ve been wrestling for 18 years now without major injuries. This is called professionalism.
What does Vazgen expect from Vendetta in Vegas?
Frist of all – good fun – he says. – I will be working with Igor Mazurenko, famous world class promotor and specialist. I expect great promotion, organization, venue and top class contestants. Vendetta is a project every armwrestler wants to be a part of. Stars are made there. I expect a victory – my victory. I will start fighting for it right now, in my gym. I’m very happy for this Vendetta and the fight.
Vazgen Soghoyan will face Kriss Gobby from Canada, in welterweight category – 70 kg.
Armfight #43 will take place on the 12th of July, Sunday, 15-18 at the Vinyl Club, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
