After winning the match 3-2 in an extremely close battle, Michael said this about Ermes in his victory speech: "I knew Ermes was very strong and had a good toproll but I'll tell you right now, this is the strongest hand and wrist in the sport today I'm gonna be honest, the reason why I won today was just from experience. He is new to this supermatch format, my experience is the reason why I won"
@@hyper_channelwesterners... Because it was this trend wal va europeans It was even worse when he lost to matt mask and people were calling him champion practice pull. Fools
I remember this, one hell of a match, Ermes showed just what he could do against a guy as difficult as MMT and a healthy version of him, that too for the first time ever facing a Kings Move like that and being a much lighter guy to what he is today. Awesome
Wow, so this was his training for Michael Todd video about? The only way to beat a King's move is to take his hands near pads and then press with your soldiers. That's how John Brezenk defeated him. You can notice Ermes was continuously trying to bring his soldiers above Todd's hands, but for that split second, his position was weak. So, Todd would instantly raise his hand. But the moment Ermes was successful for ride over Todd's hands, it was over in both rounds.
i've seen this many times but my god, watching so many of these michael todd matches and it makes you wonder how his arm wasn't wrecked years ago with the damage he was enduring to pull of these kind of victories
@@Lagia7 that's crazy but at the same time not surprising i guess. people can clown on michael todd, but the guy is a warrior in his own right. if that was me, im pretty sure my arm would be unusable after 3 matches.
Actually, I think that arm was wrecked to a certain extent throughout the years, yet he has found ways to work around injuries and maximize his technical prowess in difficult positions. Ermes is a huge threat to the super heavyweight division and may well be beyond all but a few.
Hope a rematch happens so Ermes can get this one back. No way Todd beats him now or ever again in the future. No more under the table shenanigans. No where to run anymore.
Oh damn I didn't notice, the best of this was Rebeccas's face at 2:23 Hahahahahaha she thought her man would just waltz in and do the business and come out unscathed only to have a lighter Ermes do the business on him instead
I watch a lot of arm wrestling and you know what I can't understand, when they lose their grip why do they both walk away from the table, just stand there and put on the strap. And I don't know why they don't put on the strap immediately. Devon always needs a strap
I find it absolutely hilarious that the number 2 arm wrestler on earth is some skinny Italian boy who bulked up to 300lbs by doing steroids and eating 8000 calories of pasta a day... who's name rhymes with "Linguine"
Every armwrestler in the top 100 has implemented some kind of ped protocol in their career. No different from Ermes though every athlete is unique and has a different history in their use. Ermes is a natural 6'1 190lb guy while relatively lean. That's actually a pretty big guy. What we see now is a genetic outlier on peds, nows he's really big, brutally strong and a true specialist in his sport.
@@Nick-cp8wf All true things. I was just remarking on the humor of Italian man "Mr Fettuccini" consuming an ungodly amount of pasta and becoming one of the strongest arm wrestlers ever. It's almost poetic.
funny how everybody just shoots their mouth abt every armwrestler who starts winning regularly that he is on peds. No one talked abt him that way when he lost to Matt mask,even then he was curling 52 kg on Scott's bench. Now when he has started winning regularly,all of a sudden he's on peds.thats just losers talking among themselves to pacify each other by giving pathetic excuses to themselves for not being at the top or not being able to succeed at strength sports. The fact is: only levan uses peds in this sport, there's no none else on peds except for John brzenk and him too only after the age of 55 he takes testerone injections. Stop lying to yourselves
That is a technical masterpiece. Amazing hand control, a continuous rise and pronation, a flawless transition to the press. That's a masterclass, absolutely mesmerising

He also said he was on vacation and did not train lol
Michael Todd is not really known to have a strong hand anyways
@@youtubecensoringcomments7427 yes but here Todd was in his prime more or less while Ermes was just an unknown golden boy of armwrestilng
Haha everytime Mike loses is against the strongest person he ever felt or some shit like that
@@OrtoLan-b8h ermes was known though... And he already was handling ongarbaev and kostasinov. Let that sink in...
Yesterday Issa posted a video where Ermes showed how he prepared for the Michael Todd's match
Yes
Hhh this is recomended for me right now for dome reason ....
The transition from toproll to press is very good!
Ermes was and is only quality from the beginning 👌💪❤️🐐
wow Ermes was so strong even in times when he used to be skinny.Almost without problems won Michael
Yep, people dismissed him up until recently but he has been an amazing puller for many many years
@@hyper_channelwesterners... Because it was this trend wal va europeans
It was even worse when he lost to matt mask and people were calling him champion practice pull.
Fools
In which angle he looks skinny
@youtubecensoringcomments7427 you are obsessed with the west...You seem to have an inferiority complex when it comes to the west
@@suryas6553 Compared to his current shape that is skinny
Finally some HD footage of this match!
the way ermes is pulling reminds me of ongarbaev
Wow! I’ve never seen Ermes so relentless!!! What power!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
I remember this, one hell of a match, Ermes showed just what he could do against a guy as difficult as MMT and a healthy version of him, that too for the first time ever facing a Kings Move like that and being a much lighter guy to what he is today. Awesome
It was also his first ever supermatch
I wonder when was Michael actually healthy
@@LaddRusso91if there was a time where he was at his healthiest it was definitely around this time
Ermes today would wreck todd on all levels bad. He would break that arm hands down.
0:21 was that a chair moving or did someone just let out a huge fart that shit was loud af
😂😂
Ermes is a genetic freak. To be as strong as he was back then to getting to where he is now is crazy

Size means nothing.
John proved that. Ermes confirmed that.

It's incredible
@@denisrodrigue829 i think his arm went numb or something because it seems so painful to endure some of this hits on bonelock like that

Michael tried to escape under the table but no chance.
Good old days
That's pretty badass! 💪🏽💪🏽
skinny ermes was already hanging with the big guys, now he's huge imo he could even beat levan eventually in a rematch
Ermes was like 20yrs old and 85kg here😮
Anybody knows exactly how old, and heavy was Ermes then?
95 kg
@@boh2527he really didn t look like a 95kg guy at all
But he was yeah
@@lorenzobellistri8839 why? He is 1.88 🤣🤣
23 years old and 103kg
Erms has now leveled up to super sayan 3
Hes only goku kayoken here
No way in hell he should've lost this match. Ermes kicked his ass, imagine what he'd do to him now
It was a complicated situation
@@X1348-n3n 😆 🤣
Exactly, lol...
No surgery could fix that many broken pieces.
About to see...
Ermes is a legend, a robot
Ermes definitely beat Mike that day.
Ermes is a machine💪
Oh damn I didn't notice, the best of this was Rebeccas's face at 2:23 Hahahahahaha she thought her man would just waltz in and do the business and come out unscathed only to have a lighter Ermes do the business on him instead
Wow! To see him win against Todd at that size back then shows that hea been a beast from the start!
I’ll be back here after evw16.
Does anyone know how much Gasparini weighed and how much Todd weighed?
Ermes was 95kg, MMT is like 115-120kg here
@@GrannySoupLadle Todd was actually over 130 kg's. He said in 2017 his weight was close to 300 pounds
Mad to think that fairly small guy became big enough to hold Levan.
Only quality my friend
Gear makes it possible
@@2011Transformersdotmgear made levan possible
@@ryantogo8359 Denis and Devon possible
Immagine this supermatch in 2023 ...
I think the best way to beat Michael is to bait him so he can try a press and then flash pin him like ongarbaev did
0:09 that elbow on todd LMFAO
Imagine this match now💀
☠️☠️☠️
Good news,Zurab started trening his left hand,Vitaly new grip records 157.3
th-cam.com/video/ItpMAr-ZlHU/w-d-xo.html
At 15:42 Ermes third pin that referee didn't call
This was 2017 a 23 year old ermes who lost due to desperation move. But now if they met he would spank todd like he was nothing.
Year?
This is Ermes at least 35 kg ago.
@@matteocongiu2944
Around 25kg difference I think
@Lagia7 he doesn't look like 100, anyways still.
When thin ermes face looks like an ancient egyptian pharaoh
Ermes looks so young.
now he's one of the best right handed armwrestler below Levan,damn dude from skinny fit transformed into gargantua beast
what was ermes weight here? he looks big for normal guy but so skinny compared to him now
100 kg, 30 kg less than now
I love seeing mmt losing
Wow.. Mantap brp🎉🎉
I watch a lot of arm wrestling and you know what I can't understand, when they lose their grip why do they both walk away from the table, just stand there and put on the strap. And I don't know why they don't put on the strap immediately. Devon always needs a strap
I suppose to release some tension
When l going to eat dinner, l always take a look under table about Tod
Year?
I love how he pressed michael
The old ERMES. When he still was a human
속이 후련하내
Always a good sight to see Todd losing.
Awesome 😎🤙
Ermes threw DMT all over the table. He was very impressive at a lighter weight, yet no stranger to the European community at that point.
Michael who?
Ermes is on that Juice Now
Thank you for sharing your inside knowledge with the rest of us
This marked the beginning of the downward trajectory of MMT in my opinion.
Todd’s wife looking fine as hell
Indeed
Michael always argue until the end of the world
Bone lock hold not armwrestling
Nothing brings me more joy in arm wrestling than Michael Todd losing
E Italian bambino came a really long way 💪😎

Michael Todd sucks even today he would never be in the top 10
add year to title or description please
2017
Nothing brings me greater joy than Todd losing
Under the table Todd.
Todd has only one move pffffff under the table
Impressive, only way Devon could do it was by outweighing mmt stupidly
Todd will never be relevant again. people are starting to understand how to dismantle the kings move.
MMT 115 KG, Thats it.
Michael was definitely more than 115kg here lol
Wow Ermes attacked Michel soo viciously, like he was all over him😂 and Michel be like should I go back to my cave...
Eames before HGH
Impressive
jacked up ermes
Using the nose to win hhhh 😂😂😂 great representation of Italian power
Pre-juiced Ermes.
😂😂 the approval Michael seeks from his wife 😂😂😂 this seeking approval from her has been a big drawback for "Monster"
the ready go shit is so dumb. everyone false starts at the ready.
Non jucied up ermes
Pancake free Ermes
Todd’s f’d
Keen todd😂
Man...gettin small wo roids Todd
Holy fuck he looks like his 21 and he beat prime Micheal
