Ron was actually at his strongest here, was on a healthy amount of performance enhancers and had of course the most experience and technique at this point. Bath was top 5 in the whole world at this time and you make it sound like todd is pulling an ageing bum.

@@jaegerschtulmann how many ignorant statements, lets start with the fact that john faced the defensive king's move which clearly both john and devon exposed, the first time we really saw the true offensive king's move was against devon in 406 which he couldn't crack. You mention all those guys and yet devon also lost against them in a uglier fashion lol, he got destroyed while michael put a great fight against dennis and got two wins on him, as for levan we dont know cause they havent arm wrestled yet you are talking as if michael already lost to him lol. The king's move move beat devon, jerry and Chaffee all in a row, good luck to the next guy cause he is going to be put thorough a world of trouble. Devons king's move is weak in comparison to michaels.

@William Boyle I probably have seen the match you're speaking of, but right now i can't remember, but you tell that Todd is a strong and good armwrestler because 1 time he flashed Devon? Watch like every match of Michael "your idol" Todd after 2015, he uses only the king's move to burn out the power (that he doesn't have) of the opponent. P.S. And yes he wins a lot, because with the king's move you need to have strong bones (he was the master of breaking "is own" arm) and the weight, and how you see he's like a marshmallow

@@Alex-1750 no, i dont like his style, the reason? I think while he kings moves, he fouls a lot and isnt stopped by the referee, not because i dont like kings move. Also i didn't mention anything about the style, its that a lot od people complain about him in general and make jokes about him being a queen and jiding under the table. While he used to be the manliest puller ever. All in, bone to bone pulling. The kind of pulling when the person with the strongest bones wins. He has broken his bones many times. He has experienced 100+ bone mini fractures. The only reason he kings moves is that he cant do anything else. His right arm mobility angles are 90-160. So he cant close his arm and he cant fully extend. If not that he still probably would pull like he did. Also even to his fouls and wal bad refs and everything, he is still very strong and that shouldn't be overlooked.

Because there is no way to tell if it was an intentional foul. For example: You go against Taras Ivakin, who is going to try to top roll, and you also go for a top roll even though that isn't your technique for the match, and you get an intentional slip. How will the referee tell the difference? Or a flop wrist where I don't have the finger strength to hold on. Who can say that I slipped intentionally?
