Engin Terzi: What an armfight! ()
The third supermatch of the night is one of the most interesting Armfights ever, Michael Todd with his unusual way of pulling has been surprising many of the best athletes in the
World but usually his way of pulling works better against the offensive pullers while seemed to have some problems against the defensive outside pullers. Dmitry Trubin has tall arm with Amazing back pressure and control. So i am guessing him to cause major problems to M.Todd today.
First round is about to start and i am expecting a war already, endurance and strategy will play important role in the Armfight. Strap match as expected. Michael looks huge! Never seen him this big. Trubin had the full control of the match but he was not patient enough and lost on foul. Seemed like he did not learn much from his Zloty experience.
The second round and they are in strap again, and ref’s grip. Wow, Dmitry Trubin pulled incredibly smart and strong and won the round. He just controlled Michael’s wrist with a back pressure, got higher, applied shoulder pressure but could not finish, then came back to get beter hand position, then hit outside to get farer on Michael’s hand and once again applied the shoulder press to win the round. Now is it is 1-1.
The third round is about to start and Dmitry Trubin pulls very very smart. They are in strap again. Michael tried a shoulder pres move but his wrist was toprolled by Trubin, Michael gets a warning for early start. Second start Michael again goes under table but his wrist is toprolled by Trubin again, Dmitry stays high on hand and applies a deadly shoulder pressure to finish M.Todd. Now it is 2-1 for Trubin and armwrestling world is witnessing a superstar heavyweight tonight.
Time for round 4, with his Physical build Dmitry Trubin is the example superheavyweight that armwrestling world had been waiting for a long time. Trubin’s ability for shoulder press
Helps him a lot to win today.
Michael started very aggressive and brought Trubin to close to pinning then Trubin stopped him and started to have control, and then Michael just got up and end Trubin with a shoulder pressure. Michael used his experience to win this round.
The things got very interesting after the 4. round, from now on the endurance will play and important role. Trubin’s chance is with being faster at the start. Wow it was a war, Trubin stopped Michael this time higher and started to climb up and get a position to put his shoulder behind. Once he did he was winning but Michael brought his elbow out to get a foul.
Now the re start at round 5 and the score is 2-2, Trubin stops Michael at the middle of the table, takes his wrist and then put his shoulder behind and pins him. Now the score is 3-2
For Trubin.
Athletes come to table for the 6. and last round, best Michael can get today is a tie but the things don’t seem so hopeful for him unless either he does something unexpected or Trubin makes a mistake. Another strap match,
The GO comes, Michael hit much better and put Trubin to losing position, then applies a shoulder pressure but his wrist gets toprolled, Trubin recovered from that position and started to apply shoulder pressure one after another but Michael gave his all and stops him an inch over the pad, Trubin comes back then Michael receives an elbow foul.
Re-start Michael dives in for a shoulder pressure, Trubin hangs him on his pronator, Michael goes back to low position, Trubin hangs him there as well, then Michael tries in again and Trubin stil has the control and then Dmitry applies a quick hit to win the match.
