After a long break, Denis Tsyplenkov returned to the ranks of armwrestlers, and once in the world top five. The first sentence, which he received from the Professional Armwrestling League, is a meeting with Michael Todd, a very uncomfortable opponent and more resilient than Denis is.

After the first match, which was in fact clearly in favor of Tsyplenkov, it was clear that Denis could win this fight only if the bets on his strength, but not an endurance. The victory in the second match was not so categorical and easy for Denis. Todd won the third match. Michael was happy. He said that now he would be able to do his fighting. But this did not happen, Denis pluck up his courage, little changed his tactics. Michael Todd wanted to win quickly and in a hurry he began to foul. The fourth match, which was won by Denis, is just the result of Michael’s errors.

3-1 in favor of Denis. The following rounds may decide would it be a draw, or Denis would be a champion of this match. The fifth match, which Michael won, lasted long enough; we saw that Denis’ power runs out. Michael had a chance to bring the fight to a draw.

Both athletes were so tired that at the end of the match guys could not bend the arms.

4-2, Denis Tsyplenkov won. Michael almost immediately said he wanted to repeat this fight: he realized his mistakes and knew how to fight. Naturally, we can not take this opportunity from Michael, because sportsmen shown beautiful and ambiguous fight. Maybe we'll come back to this fight, but not this year.

After Denis win we have a question - who will be his next opponent? There are some options: Denis has to fight with Dmitry Trubin to enter into the fight for the world title. Maybe this match will be held even in December.
