Trubin will fight Todd instead of Pushkar. In armfight#45, thats is January Vendetta in Vegas, the favorite of the last Zloty Tur - Dmiitry Trubin - will face Michael Todd.
At this point there is no better candidate to faced Todd ,than Trubin – says Igor Mazurenko, organizer of Vendetta in Vegas. - and although the January Vendetta was supposed to bring one of the contestants the world champion title, we plan for Todd and Trubin to fight for the title of intercontinental champion. This was the title that Pushkar lost when fighting Todd in 2012.
Michael Todd was preparing for January to fight for the world champion title, but in light of this new situation he decided to make compromises with PAL and he will fight for the intercontinental title. If he gets it – in March or April he will fight Pushkar for the world title. If he loses, Trubin will fight in his stead.
Let's recap - Trubin will take Pushkar's place at the armfight#45, because Pushkar had an injury. This was supposed to have happened a month before Zloty Tur, because of too much strain due to heavy weights during workouts. The Ukrainian wrestler has elbow issues because of that.
Besides Trubin, there were three other candidates for the fight with Todd: Dmitry Silaev, who took 2nd place in right arm in OPEN in Rumia, and world champ, Levan Saginashvili..
World championships scores are taken into account in pro class, but for us the scores from the Professionals' World Cup are more important – explains Mazurenko. - So it was the score from Zloty Tur that we took as the final factor. Levan is taken into consideration for rank fights in armfights. We are sure to see him in 2016.
Also Genadi Kvikvinia was taken into account as a reserve, but his injury made it impossible for him to fight.
After two years' break and return to the international arena, Genadi is showing great scores, great fights and he is one of the candidates for the next years' Vendettas – says Mazurenko. We may see him in the April edition of the Professionals's World Cup in USA.
What of Silaev?
Let's give him some more time to show his skills – says Mazurenko.
