Alexey did not seem anywhere near to his prime time but we can not take anything from the great performance of Tim. Obviously Tim was the stronger one and deserved to be the winner! ()
Wow, great to see Voevoda again at the table! The last Armfight of the night, Alexey Voevoda vs Tim Bresnan. To me Alexey is the favorite but it is hard to judge his level after near 10 years of absence.
First round is about to start and i expect a slip strap match. Alexey does not look as big as i saw him last time which was against Michael Todd years ago. Tim looks huge though! It is ref’s grip and Voevoda got an elbow foul as his elbow left the pad from the front side of the pad during the slip. Voevoda does not seem any where near to his shape that we remember, not to take anything from Tim though. In strap Voevoda seemed better than Tim but Tim was able to bring the match to the center from losing position, and then got an elbow foul.
Re start and Tim had the control with rowing controlled pronation attack but he got the second elbow foul. It is 1-0 for Voevoda.
Before the round 2 Voevoda massages to his medial epicondylit as he may be a bit hurt. Alexy does not look so confident. From now on endurance will play more important role as they had 4 starts on round 1.
Alexey got two fouls while trying to control Tim’s pronator. Alexey’s wrist does not seem to be solid enough to control Tim’s arm. Alexey should go for strap.
It is 1-1 now.
Third round starts, Leonard gave Tim an elbow foul. Alexey gets an elbow foul at the re start as well, he needs to keep his elbow on the pad or he will lose tonight. Both athletes has 1 foul each. Finally strap match! Not sure if Alexey’s wrist will survive tonight. Tim wins the round and now it is 2-1 for Tim.
Round four and Alexey receives a warning, now slip and strap. Tim wins after a tough hook
Match but Voevoda complains for an elbow foul on Tim. Waiting for desicion to be made.
Protest seems to be denied but Alexey does not give up. The desicion is not changed and the score is 3-1 for Tim now.
Round 5 is about to start, slip and strap. They both goes for outside Voevoda gets the control and brings Tim near the pad then Tim gets in hook and receives a foul while winning.
Re start Voevoda comes very near to winning but Tim again stops him and then in hook he wins. It is 4-1 for Tim now.
The last round is about to start, Tim wins the Armfight 5-1.
Alexey did not seem anywhere near to his prime time but we can not take anything from the great performance of Tim. Obviously Tim was the stronger one and deserved to be the winner!
I hope that Alexey will be back stronger and reach to the top once again!
