In fact, Michael is always interesting and unpredictable. He had mixed feelings after armfight with Denis, and when we asked about how he felt he answered straight: “SORE”.
But in general Michael is satisfied with his result: “I haven't been focused on armwrestling for a while now and to be this close to the World's elite has motivated me to train harder than ever before! I made a few technical errors that cost me the match!”, – stressed Michael.
During the third round cameras shown us a moment, when Michael was changing his clothes, and after it he won a match. Was it a special trick?
“No trick, just wanted to be more comfortable while I was pulling! J”
The last round was very hard because it could decide all fight. But Michael did some serious mistakes, that’s why he lost:
“I really believe had I had more patience in the final match I would have tied 3-3 and would have been able to win a Silver Bucket match, had they offered one?”
Respect your opponent is a sign of a true professional, who really is Michael Todd:
“I have huge respect for Denis. I think his form is very good, his strength is insane. I actually believe that I let the videos of the 376 lbs bicep curls pushed me out a little. All I needed was to know that I was in the match so if I had another chance I would trust my skill/strength and I believe I would be victorious!”
Michael evaluated some fights of his collegues:
“I thought all the matches were very entertaining. Pushkar was very impressive & so was Oleg! Tim looked very strong as well!”
It seems that Michael is interested to work with PAL and he has found anew motivation, which means that soon we will be able to see again, "Monster" in better shape:
“My plans are to focus on armwrestling specific exercises and show up at Nemiroff the strongest I've ever been!”
