He started armwrestling when he was 17.
I traveled the whole USA and Canada – recalls Miller, american armwrestler, who will be fighting Vazghen Soghoyan in the upcoming Vendetta in Vegas. - Since the beginning I knew I was different when it came to the sport. I learned different, I felt pressures different and knew how it was going to affect the arm. I was never the strongest, though I am strong, but I was always fast and could hit hard.
He prefers his right arm, though he says his left isn't weak either.
I had many tough opponents, but mainly it's all about skill – says Miller. - When a guy can contol my arm, I might suffer. But it doesn't happen often, unless I am tired.
In the upcoming Vendetta in Vegas he will be fighting Vazghen Soghoyan in 70 kg – 155lbs, welterweight. He's preparing mainly by cutting weight.
I recently broke my ankle and had some other problems, so I gained some weight through lack of mobility – says Miller.
He trains in various ways, but mainly in specific ways aimed at specific opponents. He wants to leave Vendetta with his head held high.
I don't care what the score is, although I feel I can win and dominate – ponders Miller. - I just want to prove I'm the best in welterweight, I want to test myself. It's been 5 years since I fought in this category. I was number one back then in 154 lbs, four years running, both arms. Vazghen can be trouble for anyone who fights him. Am I afraid of his style? Not a bit. I plan to fight hard and win or at least place high.
Armfight #44 will take place on 24th October in Las Vegas, on one of the scenes at Fremont Street. There will also be a TV broadcast in CBS Sport Network, we will keep you posted on that.
