The real question is could he defeat the guy with the V line in his head wearing the black shirt who then weighed 160 pounds and was known for one of the strongest arms on the table ( even though he didn't train ) in the link below ? [url]https://www.maxim.com/video/arm-wrestle-mania[/url]
You never heard of him.because thats me. lol ! ...I've pinned guys as much as 420 pounds at 155 pounds , though there's weight classes for a reason, I've only been over powered once with no technique and that was to the P4P best arm wrestler in the world ( Russian name ) who was 150 pounds and he had wins over John Brzenk ( over the top ) ! Beterbiev uses arm wrestling training , it helps because strong wrists and Forearm is pivotal , I've said it for 20 years. Certainly helps ,and I can see his tendon strength is very good .It's important to absorb the energy coming back into your arm hitting solid object. This is over looked , you can hit harder by not breaking anything or straining.
I suspected as much Impressive! Beterbiev, like pretty much most males from the Caucasus region, has also has been wrestling since he came out of the womb
Certainly advantage to bc grappling is knowing balance. Unfortunately was out i of sports most my growing years bc of health issues but recently tied someone who went on to win a national grappling event / Jujitsu ....I turn 45 today and will actually train for an event next time. He was 25 i was 43.
I think people question his chin because he's a beast in other areas and I suppose its maybe a slight chink in his armour if there is one. I thought he was stung in his last fight but disguised it by pouring it on but the usual power wasn't there for a bit. Like you've pointed out already, its heaped full of bangers at 175 and its f all getting hurt now and again is it
Maybe. Yeah exactly, and I'm not sure how getting dropped by someone who hits as hard as Johnson is indicative of a weak chin as there isn't a fighter at 175 he isn't capable of dropping especially if they trade bombs with him like Artur was doing and like I said Hot Rod can punch and has scored 13 first round KOs. He dropped a Marcus Browne who had 6lbs on him, hurt Browne badly and came awfully close to dropping him again, and would've stopped him if the ref wasn't batting for Team Browne and allowing him to grab a hold of Hot Rod all night, so Browne's chin must be made out of pure glass then if that's the case lol This content is protected Hot Rod catching Artur with a big left hook and follow up right This content is protected
lol His main problem is his defence or rather lack thereof and he doesn't roll with shots when he takes them so he tends to take the full force of them.
