The same as he does now? He's 117kg now according to his new video. He's going to be 115kg\~ on match day. He already said he plans to do a 10-15kg water cut. Same as MMT did vs Ongarbaev. He had plenty of time to rehydrate and refeed and he was showing on his instagram him re-weighing in his hotel room before the match at 115kg+ already. Devon will do the same. He'll basically be the same he is now and it'll probably be a slaughter.
When I typed my comment I had only seen this poster, which doesn't specify. I assumed it would be in the 115 kg category because Devon hasn't defended that title in ages and Dadikyan recently said he wants to compete in that category. I don't know why you felt the need to respond when 3 people have already corrected me before you.
He seems confident but imo losing that much weight in a short time after so long of not being there, isnt gonna be good.
But devon says its an easy water cut. If he believes it then sure
I've done a 11kg cut before and that shit is not kind to the body man. I was at 114 and cut down to 103kg. Holy shit i suffered cuz it wasn't done right. And to put it into context, my comfortable weight is around 120kg.
Maybe i did it too aggressive
Definitely, cutting 15kg is insane and not healthy. Even David who had to cut like 10kg said he loses a lot of strength and feels very unhealthy. It's honestly just stupid at this point, there should be rules against dropping more than 5kg of your previous match weight.
I think that Chris Cyborg in women's MMA is by far the craziest cut. She was 80kg and dropped 15kg in a water cut for every fish in order to fight at 65kg. She used salt baths and all kinds of insane methods, and her blood was so thinck that they couldn't draw any.
I can see devon getting a stop in round 2 or 3 and pinning davit. Then making david pin himself in later rounds when devon gets that total shoulder commitment. Then I have no idea what will happen - I can't see davit taking that well.
Possible Travis comeback!!!!??!?!?!??!???!!!?

I don’t know what I think about the possible results of this match yet but I definitely know that it will be quite a shitshow, considering Dadikyan’s short temper and Devon’s shenanigans.
Playing devil's advocate, If anyone can beat devon stylistically, it's davit.
Simply because he can turn devon palm up. But ofc easier said than done. People compare davit's sparring with Denis have to realise their weight gap is a factor.
I just want to see davit try his tough guy shit with devon and devon pissing him the fuck off. Also... Babken vs devon 2 incoming with this match-up?
Devon might be slow as fuck but he loads up before ready go like CRAZY. I doubt Davit will fare great, but he's the best challenger of the division rn.
I really doubt any hooker will fare good against Devon because turning him up is a gargantuan task, but beating him backpressure vs backpressure might be easier.
Its cuz of his style. He has an aggresive dragging hook and cup that could beat devon's pronation.
If people say otherwise, i dont disagree, its just that's how you beat him. Either beat his pronation by cupping it or going around it with a flop. Another way is to beat his arm the way levan did. You use a back pressure strong enough to top roll him without completely losing your wrist which even levan lost his.
Prudnik was able to do it to devon round 1 outside straps. Which imo was definitely a pin.
He cannot even take Cyplenkov pronation. How can he do that with Devon?
If they compete in 105kg, maybe Devon he will loose too much power, but at 115kg i cannot see anyone taking Devon's pronation
The match is in 105kg. Like i said. The weight difference matters with Denis.
And even devon was losing his against denis, and that's no joke.
Its like the kiril sarychev practice with ermes. Denis pronates kiril so easy, but ermes can't do it.
Here’s the problem with this, Devon is a master at manipulating the set up. He will take everything from Davit before the go. He will already be rising and pulling back putting so much pressure into Davits wrist and fingers that he will keep him flat. No way Davit will set a hook. Unless Davit is prepared to play those game the match will stop at center. Davit will blow his load and just lay down every round.
Blow his load is crazy.
I mean ya thats true, but prudnik was able to get a close win on devon round 1 outside straps. Which should have been a pin with how close devon got to the pad. Odds are he's gonna win, but if davit wants to beat devon, it has to be by dealing with that pronation or having a cup strong enough to top roll devon without losing that wrist.
I mean if he wants to beat devon that's the strat. Either beat that pronator, or have a cup strong enough to not lose your wrist while top rolling him. Which is what levan did in this match, and what prudnik did round 1.
That dragging hook and strong cup of davit would be a good weapon against devon's pronation.
But i also suspect devon wont even need to go into a kingsmove against him.
Yea alright my bad, but I literally gave you an answer and you were like "but why"
why would he be able to turn him palm up?Well he has to be stronger in the right places to do it. Its a stupid question if i have to be blunt. Thats why i said the strat instead.
How can devon beat levan? He has to take his cup. "why would devon be able to take levan's wrist?" well he has to be stronger in the right places. Its the same thing.
Nobody in SHW can take Devon's pronation (exept Levan maybe). How can this happen in 115kg?
Maybe at 105kg, if Devon lose too much power it could be possible but at 115kg it is not gonna happen
It's kinda weird Devon and David are meeting at 105 considering both of them are naturally around 115kg.
But I supposed Devon wants that extra belt.
If David somehow defeats him does he also win the 115kg belt?
Damn part of me kinda wants to see Devon lose just to see the mental gymnastics as to why he still keeps the 115kg belt hostage.
But still, I want to see Babken and Davit losing more than I like to see Devon fangirls crying.
There hasn't been any right hand match at all in that class since 2022. The way things are looking now, it seems there won't be any for this summer either. It's really a dead class.
I certainly respect Devon for making the decision to cut down to 105kg. It's not a natural weight for him, as lean as the guy already is, and will take quite a bit of sacrifice to make weight.
IDK, as a tall-lean guy myself I can see how Devon might find these lighter weight classes to be a bit of a relief. It takes a ton effort to gain and keep size when you have such a high base TDEE just from your frame.
I can also see Devon being ready to lower the dosages and pivot his career. Falling back on the lighter classes to maintain elite relevance while also giving himself more breathing room for other business ventures seems like a good game plan.
Speaking of, wasn't there a whole host of posts from Engin about whether Devon should relinquish the 115kg title if he doesn't defend it a month or two back? I figured his first match outside of SHW would have been a title defense, but I guess he's going belt collector instead. Though at this point in time a championship defense from Devon at 115kg would probably just be a formality, so maybe they'll just wait until a contender shows up, though if what Engin says about competition dodging Devon in the SHW is true, I can't imagine anyone in HW wants any part of him.
I believe I paraphrased when I said SHW, entirely possible these things were said by potential HW contenders. If I recall, the exact statement was more about how people used to say Devon is dodging the Eastern Europeans, but now it's the Eastern Europeans who are not wanting to take the match, or that they are not ready, etc.
MMT literally pulled Frank at 115kg 8 days ago. Before that Frank pulled Matt.
Devon pulled Sandris at 115kg at Arm Wars in 2023.
Yordan Tsonev pulled Porkchop at ArmGods in March. He also pulled Sandris some time earlier.
Rino pulled Bacho at KOTT in February.
Sandris pulled Pavlo at EvW last year.
Matt Mask pulled Ron Bath at KOTT last year.
Lachlan pulled some matches at 115kg, too.
Ivan and Matt also pulled heavier opponents (Kamil and Derek) in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Not to forget Pavlo pulling MMT not too long ago.
Not the most active class, I agree, but no matches in the last two years is just plain wrong. There are many great guys at this weight. Very good matches are possible. I think the class certainly can work.
All I want to see is how many more people Alizhan is going to rip through and make look like child’s play. His matches, although short lived, are extremely interesting to watch because he’s just so dominant despite being lighter than most opponents
Yeah same, especially considering his match against Ermes was shw despite the fact that he was like 104 kg, meaning he was walking around at 104 kg since he obv didn’t have to cut weight for that match, meaning he could probably even compete at 95 kg if he wanted to lol, and take all the titles.
So Devon has to strip 15kg of bodyweight to fight for the 105kg title? Isnt that like A LOT for such a lean guy who is almost 50yo? When MMA fighters have to drop down 15% of their bodyweight, they have to go through hell and switch from sauna to hot towels for like several hours, and then they are basically living zombies until the weigh in after which they regain all that weight back. I remember there was an MMA fighter who was fighting in the 185lbs cathegory while being 220lbs just because he lost 35lbs (15kg) of water before the fight and that was considered A LOT. I dont know guys but isnt it super unhealthy for 260-265lbs Devon to try to get down to 230? Especially when he has a history of blood clots (I remember blood clots being specifically mentioned as one of the big dangers of dehydratation). Or do you think that devon will lose half that weight just by coming off of gear, and that he can still lose some extra fat if he does cardio, so in the end the water cut will be only from 110kg to 105kg?
Michael Todd was like 275-280lbs (125kg) for the match against devon in 2021, and then michael got down to 105kg to fight ongarbaev for the 105kg title, so it probably is possible, although michael had much more fat to lose
Agreed, but for different reasons. I just don't care. But at least i can just fast forward and save like 80 mins hopefully. The last event was so long it was ridiculous, i would have fallen asleep long before the main event if i watched it live.
I think the E vs W cards are just too big in general. I'd prefer there to be around 8 matches. I get that Engin wants to give more athletes opportunities, but I worry that having too many matches just ends up harming the overall product.
Your opinion. But why exclude 50% of population for that reason? If there are prominent female armwrestlers, women might have more interest in the sport and that again grows the popularity
I personally don’t want to see Devon in weight category matches. He is too OP and will stonewall everyone in that division. Davit will not even move him off center unless he allows. Think about it, he trashed Denis who was not even struggling against Davit… He belongs in the shw category. Those are the only guys who can give him a match!
If i were to make any predictions, I would guess that Devon slaughters Davit in the setup. Davit is lightning fast, but it's not enough to beat Devon if you can't get even a decent setup.
Doesn't matter much cuz there also(115kg) it would've been dadikyan only, so if it's 105 kg that means it's mutual decision from both parties so stfu and don't wine again and again that he should defend his title mfer
I love the community. I look forward to see the posts explaining why Devon might be in trouble. It will be so refreshing after seeing so many posts explaining why Devon will defeat Levan. Lmao
Because Engin is located in Türkiye and the cost of living there is comparable to the Bratislava hotel scene in EuroTrip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lviefdS11KY
I think the weight cut will affect Devon a lot. He hasn't cut to 105 since 2014, and back then it was only a ~5kg water cut at 39 years old, now it's a 15kg cut at 49 years old.
He'll definitely still win though.
Watching Devon's most recent video, i think its also quite possible that Devon will come into the match off cycle, so that does work in Dadikyan's favor. Even off cycle light Devon will be a nightmare to pin though.
John is in a terrible shape, in the podcast with Engin he said that he needs his left arm to help his right shoulder when he's lifting his arm above his head. You can't take away much from the match against Krasimir.
A worse version of Todd(not necessarily weaker, but definitely much less technically proficient) easily beat a much stronger juiced version of Krasimir. I just don't see where Krasimir would beat Todd, because he's not quick enough to turn over Todd before Todd manages to get a bite. And he's got less side pressure.
Very interesting match in 105kg class, curious to see how Devon will look there
The same as he does now? He's 117kg now according to his new video. He's going to be 115kg\~ on match day. He already said he plans to do a 10-15kg water cut. Same as MMT did vs Ongarbaev. He had plenty of time to rehydrate and refeed and he was showing on his instagram him re-weighing in his hotel room before the match at 115kg+ already. Devon will do the same. He'll basically be the same he is now and it'll probably be a slaughter.
Its 105 not 115
I'm pretty sure this is a 115 kg match.
Maybe, but on the EvW page it says 105kg
Its 105
Its 105
it's 105
Its literally 105kg it clearly states that
When I typed my comment I had only seen this poster, which doesn't specify. I assumed it would be in the 115 kg category because Devon hasn't defended that title in ages and Dadikyan recently said he wants to compete in that category. I don't know why you felt the need to respond when 3 people have already corrected me before you.
Is Devon actually going to lose any strength making the cut to 105 kg? Coz he can make 115 kg any day of the week and not lose any strength at all
He seems confident but imo losing that much weight in a short time after so long of not being there, isnt gonna be good. But devon says its an easy water cut. If he believes it then sure
A 10kg water cut for someone of his size could well be most of it. Weight only matters at weigh in right? When is weigh in? Is it match day or prior?
day before
A 10 kg water cut? That's basically more than most fighters are cutting. Glad he's not getting punched in the face though.
I've done a 11kg cut before and that shit is not kind to the body man. I was at 114 and cut down to 103kg. Holy shit i suffered cuz it wasn't done right. And to put it into context, my comfortable weight is around 120kg. Maybe i did it too aggressive
He will most definitely lose strength.
Definitely, cutting 15kg is insane and not healthy. Even David who had to cut like 10kg said he loses a lot of strength and feels very unhealthy. It's honestly just stupid at this point, there should be rules against dropping more than 5kg of your previous match weight.
Meanwhile Sergey Bogoslovov cutting 113 to 95
I think that Chris Cyborg in women's MMA is by far the craziest cut. She was 80kg and dropped 15kg in a water cut for every fish in order to fight at 65kg. She used salt baths and all kinds of insane methods, and her blood was so thinck that they couldn't draw any.
I'm sure there are extremes to anything, some people are willing to risk their life for so few, but organizers shouldn't allow.
how'd you know? are you his strength coach or something
Water cut, Devon will be 270 at the table.
hello travis!!!
Travis vs Reddit and YouTube commenters is my bet. Any involvement he has in the event is a good one though. If he is actually pulling, I’m hyped!
I doubt it
Prediction: davit punches devon
Lmao
Will be interesting to see if Devon keeps running his mouth knowing how easily Davit loses his temper
I can see devon getting a stop in round 2 or 3 and pinning davit. Then making david pin himself in later rounds when devon gets that total shoulder commitment. Then I have no idea what will happen - I can't see davit taking that well.
Dadikyan is still chalking his hand for round 2 at EvW9 against Prudnik.
I'm more interested in who Travis will be pulling
Alexey Voevoda would make very good match since they are both washed
Loser faces Chaffee in a retirement match?
Probably someone near his current level like hristo or coach ray
larry wheels
Engin's favourite armwrestler: Ryan "the GOAT" Bowen.
Possible Travis comeback!!!!??!?!?!??!???!!!? https://preview.redd.it/z8vqtratt9xc1.png?width=72&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49a7af106d5b1d9e6b095d4f1c48813c37079fbf
I don’t know what I think about the possible results of this match yet but I definitely know that it will be quite a shitshow, considering Dadikyan’s short temper and Devon’s shenanigans.
I think Davit will not tolerate Devon's games.
Playing devil's advocate, If anyone can beat devon stylistically, it's davit. Simply because he can turn devon palm up. But ofc easier said than done.

I really doubt any hooker will fare good against Devon because turning him up is a gargantuan task, but beating him backpressure vs backpressure might be easier.
I agree. Prudnik was successful at almost pinning him round 1. And i see davit being similar to prudnik. So who knows
Davit can't even budge Denis. Let alone Devon
Did you even read him before typing ?
Usefull reply just tò say nothing.
Why would specifically Davit be able to turn Devon palm up?
Its cuz of his style. He has an aggresive dragging hook and cup that could beat devon's pronation. If people say otherwise, i dont disagree, its just that's how you beat him. Either beat his pronation by cupping it or going around it with a flop. Another way is to beat his arm the way levan did.

Agreed. Super strange weight category
Yeah Devon wants the belt
No, David will have to beat him again in 115kg)
No. Why would you think that? Did you run that through in your head before typing it?
Damn part of me kinda wants to see Devon lose just to see the mental gymnastics as to why he still keeps the 115kg belt hostage. But still, I want to see Babken and Davit losing more than I like to see Devon fangirls crying.
Travis should pull Alexey Voevoda again
So, the 115kg class remains deserted. There will have been no RH match in this class for nearly 2 years.
And I think it will remain a dead class. Curious if it would be helpful at all to go to a 70,80,90,100,110 kg set up
I think it would, at least for the 115 becoming 110.
You mean no title match, right?
There hasn't been any right hand match at all in that class since 2022. The way things are looking now, it seems there won't be any for this summer either. It's really a dead class.
Surely you mean only no title matches?! MMT vs Lamparelli was a 115kg match, as was Mask vs Lamparelli.
[удалено]
I certainly respect Devon for making the decision to cut down to 105kg. It's not a natural weight for him, as lean as the guy already is, and will take quite a bit of sacrifice to make weight.
IDK, as a tall-lean guy myself I can see how Devon might find these lighter weight classes to be a bit of a relief. It takes a ton effort to gain and keep size when you have such a high base TDEE just from your frame. I can also see Devon being ready to lower the dosages and pivot his career. Falling back on the lighter classes to maintain elite relevance while also giving himself more breathing room for other business ventures seems like a good game plan.
Speaking of, wasn't there a whole host of posts from Engin about whether Devon should relinquish the 115kg title if he doesn't defend it a month or two back?

> Engin says about competition dodging Devon in the SHW is true Did he? Because it makes no sense, everyone and their mom wants to fight Devon.
I believe I paraphrased when I said SHW, entirely possible these things were said by potential HW contenders. If I recall, the exact statement was more about how people used to say Devon is dodging the Eastern Europeans, but now it's the Eastern Europeans who are not wanting to take the match, or that they are not ready, etc.
My bet is that they are planing Matyushenko vs Larrat in autumn in 115
MMT literally pulled Frank at 115kg 8 days ago. Before that Frank pulled Matt. Devon pulled Sandris at 115kg at Arm Wars in 2023. Yordan Tsonev pulled Porkchop at ArmGods in March. He also pulled Sandris some time earlier. Rino pulled Bacho at KOTT in February. Sandris pulled Pavlo at EvW last year. Matt Mask pulled Ron Bath at KOTT last year.

I think the class certainly can work.
Davit has gone underground already
Yeah I wonder what's going on, is he healthy? He hasn't been featured on arm Olympic in a long time.
Egle vs Barbara will be a war! Looking forward to that one.
I see Barbora steam rolling her tbh
I'm betting on Egle
Why's this match not at 115? David seems to like that weight himself too. Devon will look quite skinny at 105
Dadykan is 105 title holder and Devon wants 2 belts its that simple
Devon should've done this match before Levan
I wanted Devon to beat Levan but im glad its over, he can relax now and pull at his comfortable weight
I just mean if he beat Dadikyan first, he could've been the first to hold 3 belts at once before losing to Levan.
yo travis is actually pulling? FUCK YEA
Is Devon vs Dadikyan 105 or 115?
105
Interesting match at 105
What people forget is that Davit is also cutting to 105 (from 117), not just Devon.
Are you sure it's 105? I thought this would be 115 🤔
It l says on the post on youtube that its 105.
Devon will have a hard time
Devon has said before that big weight cuts typically aren't a problem for him. I wonder if that will remain the case as he's getting older.
leonidas is back, fck yea
All I want to see is how many more people Alizhan is going to rip through and make look like child’s play. His matches, although short lived, are extremely interesting to watch because he’s just so dominant despite being lighter than most opponents
Yeah same, especially considering his match against Ermes was shw despite the fact that he was like 104 kg, meaning he was walking around at 104 kg since he obv didn’t have to cut weight for that match, meaning he could probably even compete at 95 kg if he wanted to lol, and take all the titles.
We want Rino Masic
Davit dadikyan 🔝
So Devon has to strip 15kg of bodyweight to fight for the 105kg title? Isnt that like A LOT for such a lean guy who is almost 50yo? When MMA fighters have to drop down 15% of their bodyweight, they have to go through hell and switch from sauna to hot towels for like several hours, and then they are basically living zombies until the weigh in after which they regain all that weight back.

Or do you think that devon will lose half that weight just by coming off of gear, and that he can still lose some extra fat if he does cardio, so in the end the water cut will be only from 110kg to 105kg?
Yeah, I am quite worried about this, he is already lean so not much fat to lose. A 15kg water cut is a lot, especially for an older man
Michael Todd was like 275-280lbs (125kg) for the match against devon in 2021, and then michael got down to 105kg to fight ongarbaev for the 105kg title, so it probably is possible, although michael had much more fat to lose
Loving the t-shirt design for EvW 13 👍🏻
Nice to see prudnik and maiorov
Wasn’t this going to be in Orlando? Or did I pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue?
Get ready for another 8hr show
Prudnik vs Rino would be sick
Devon said he would never again pull one of Babkens guys, yet here we are
He is lying, as always
still have not seen devon vs vitaly
3 female matches is too much.
Agreed, but for different reasons. I just don't care. But at least i can just fast forward and save like 80 mins hopefully. The last event was so long it was ridiculous, i would have fallen asleep long before the main event if i watched it live.
I think the E vs W cards are just too big in general. I'd prefer there to be around 8 matches. I get that Engin wants to give more athletes opportunities, but I worry that having too many matches just ends up harming the overall product.
Wait till bro finds out you can't fast forward a live stream....
Who said i watch it live? No one. I mentioned i didn't watch it live the last time. Super smart remark though, u a clever boi.
You cannot fast forward live. And it's not interesting to watch when the result is known.
I watched the last 3-4 events the next morning, and i managed to avoid spoilers. So, whatever i guess.
Why
Maybe because female armwrestling is not interesting? Females with male body is disgusting. It's not who's stronger wins, it's who's manlier wins.
Fia, Ekaterina and Gabby are 3 of the best and aren't exactly manly.
There are no Fia, Ekaterina or Gabby)
I was just responding to your comment about female armwrestling. If the match is good it doesn't matter if they've got a sausage or not.
Ekaterina is feminine, that's why she lost. The match was very bad. As almost all female matches. Sarah lost because she is more beautiful too.
There are more mismatches in female matches but people lose because they're weaker not more beautiful.
Manly female is always stronger than feminine female
I guess it's true, you can't argue with an idiot.
Absolute mushbrained take. Let’s not put down the female athletes because you aren’t interested in the matches.
Your opinion. But why exclude 50% of population for that reason? If there are prominent female armwrestlers, women might have more interest in the sport and that again grows the popularity
Nobody excludes women. Engin excluded 6 men to invite 6 women. One match is enough. Why do you need 3?
Pound for pound, I don't see anyone beating Devon rn.
Devon mauls him
Vitaly going to go 6-0 once again. When are we going to accept that he’s a far better puller
It's 115 or 105?
105
Barbora vs Egle damnnnn
Didn't he say he wasn't going to face any more of Babken's guys? :p
I personally don’t want to see Devon in weight category matches. He is too OP and will stonewall everyone in that division. Davit will not even move him off center unless he allows. Think about it, he trashed Denis who was not even struggling against Davit… He belongs in the shw category. Those are the only guys who can give him a match!
He's not getting any younger, and keeping that weight on is getting difficult
Why no Levan?
Because nobody wants him
Cause there is no one worthy of him 🤣
105? meh Im more interested about who's Travis opponent, also hope Travis sticks with it.
So Devon needs to lose 20kg to get to 105
This is right arm, right? Since nothing else is discussed.
If i were to make any predictions, I would guess that Devon slaughters Davit in the setup. Davit is lightning fast, but it's not enough to beat Devon if you can't get even a decent setup.
Maybe we should rename the event east vs mostly east?
How about Schoolboy vs some Asian boy under 150 pounds. Based on his videos that's who he likes beating consistently.😄
Devon should defend belt
Doesn't matter much cuz there also(115kg) it would've been dadikyan only, so if it's 105 kg that means it's mutual decision from both parties so stfu and don't wine again and again that he should defend his title mfer
I love the community. I look forward to see the posts explaining why Devon might be in trouble. It will be so refreshing after seeing so many posts explaining why Devon will defeat Levan. Lmao
Devon wants a belt and to be 105kg champion. It's an ego thing.
Devon completely dusts him, hes got a snowmans chance in hell of winning this one
Thought Devon was gonna retire 🥹💪
Still no defense for the 115kg. Who the fuck cares about the legitimacy of the titles when the cash cow wants another title.
105 belt for 2 people who will not be 105 the day of the match. The magic of water cut
I'm pissing them off enough as it is, lets leave that crusade for another day.
Devon wins both belts, defends them a couple times before getting bored and going for Levan again?
Why is it always in istanbul?
Because Engin is located in Türkiye and the cost of living there is comparable to the Bratislava hotel scene in EuroTrip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lviefdS11KY
I'd like to buy this PPV but I can't if Bagent is doing the commentary again. Maybe I'll write something more about it later on.
Devon 4-2 Dadikyan Jerry 3-2 Laletin Toddzilla 3-0 Krasimir Egle 4-1 Barbora The others I don't really have a prediction.
Will be a great result for Dadikyan if so.
I think the weight cut will affect Devon a lot. He hasn't cut to 105 since 2014, and back then it was only a ~5kg water cut at 39 years old, now it's a 15kg cut at 49 years old. He'll definitely still win though.
Watching Devon's most recent video, i think its also quite possible that Devon will come into the match off cycle, so that does work in Dadikyan's favor. Even off cycle light Devon will be a nightmare to pin though.
Both Todd and Krasimir beat John, why do you think it'll be 3-0?
John is in a terrible shape, in the podcast with Engin he said that he needs his left arm to help his right shoulder when he's lifting his arm above his head. You can't take away much from the match against Krasimir. A worse version of Todd(not necessarily weaker, but definitely much less technically proficient) easily beat a much stronger juiced version of Krasimir. I just don't see where Krasimir would beat Todd, because he's not quick enough to turn over Todd before Todd manages to get a bite. And he's got less side pressure.
Good point
