To be fair the referees did a poor job with their hand signals when calling fouls. They were talking to the pullers but without proper hand signals the crowd and announcer can’t tell what’s going on. In that respect they could learn a lot from watching some European competitions where hand signals tend to be a lot more clear and consistent.
The commentator is no Neil Pickup, sounds like he's calling a WWE match. Chance had Todd on his side on the first match, but Todd has powered his way out of that position before. It's not a win until he's pined! Good match except for the announcer.
Cause there can be cheating between the ref and maybe one of the pullers I think where they discuss when to cheat or give a clue about when to go. At least with ready youre making sure both are getting ready so there is no cheating.
Armwrestling isn't like other sports. It's the only one where the rules allow one competitor to take an advantage of the other in the setup before the match starts. Which is why it will never be seen like other sports, where unfair advantages before the competition begins aren't allowed in their rules. The closest that Armwrestling comes to eliminating unfair advantages before a match starts, are WAL/PAL rules.
I dont mean this as an insult but as a serious question and i want to have a serious answer: What has Chance achieved that he deserves having supermatches all the time?
Exactly my thoughts. Last time Chance lost many people were saying he is overrated yet he gets this match and yet all people have to say is "Chance is so strong".
Holy smokes, a michigan based armwreatling channel....wonder out of where.... im in metro Detroit (sterling heights) and def want to start checking out some live events. Somewhat new fan, got into this sport about 5 yrs ago ** Kellog arena is in battle creek son of ....thats so close. Shame I missed it! Good pull fellas
Zilla’s built like a brick shithouse. Seeing Dave handle Todd as easily he did during their recent practice video tells you just how powerful Dave is (and we saw it again in his match with Alex). Still, Todd is an absolute bulldog and on one hell of a run. 💪🏼
Exactly what I was thinking that's why I want to see Dave rematch Devon where they call fouls if you put you're shoulder under the table 50 times. Because without that strait arm under the table kings move Dev wouldent stop him.
@@adamwiseman5831 I think you’re right. Dave is perhaps only 2nd to Levan in sheer power. Vitaly is maybe a little less powerful (than Dave) but he has huge hands and long levers that would prove a challenge to anyone of lesser stature.
))) Have you seen Todd used crazy side pressure move with full force? He played with him. With equal top roll opponents he goes straigh to strap. Here he just played with him. And as hook player i also prefer pulling with top rollers in strap.
Because todd did not pull. Thats it. I havn't seen him using 100 force with crazy full force side pressure attack. Most of the fight he just hold him without strap. Whatch his pull with Irakly or Devon and compare to this here he was too relaxed. Todd 100% time just maintained position and tested his strength. Thats it if tood pulled like on East vs West he would pin him in 1-2 seconds.
Thats my coach Tim Smith from TimMouthy Announcing he's a great armwrestler, wonderful human being, and a fantastic announcer. He works extremely hard and deserves some love for his announcing1
Chance reminds me of how I used to pull. Except he's ridiculously strong. Making those adjustments like that. Chance has been looking better and better and better. Trouble's coming guys 🙂
@@danhenderson5198 Ah, I recall the days gripping up with definite superior opponents; the whole time the referee exchanging the death eye. Me just thinking: "Gonna do some fucked up shit, doodaaa, doodaaa, hope I get away with it, oh deedoodadayyy" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Good job by the announcer, hopefully he can do more events (but with a better vantage point or a monitor or earpiece to be able to see/hear some of the calls).
"He cannot put Chance away!" [Immediately puts Chance away.] hehe Like in football. "They can't seem to sack Tom Brady tonight... there's the first sack."
Such a cool match to have. Hutchings seemingly wasn't going full-insane mode all the way to the pad, which is nice to see for a match like this. Him staying where he's comfortable and doing it that way made for a cool match. Also I like that the ref wasn't ridiculous with calling inconsequential elbow fouls. It felt reasonable and good for the match.
Who was the commentator here? Really liked the commentating! This venue was much more exciting than the KOTT3 snooze-fest commentating! Nice try Chance... not an easy match and you made it tough for Todd! Congrats to Toddzilla!
So you can be losing and just lift your elbow off the pad and get a restart? They really need to fix that, and need an official league, until then arm wrestling will always be a sideshow.
Wow..2 losses in a row to Chance..but damn the lad is strong..that was so close..and Toddzilla is absolutely brilliant.. So I’m thinking anyone Todd has beat Chance can also..Lachlan vs Chance would be a win to Chance from watching that.
@@ruaraidh74 long long ago Ryan beat Chance..they are both completely different to then. Chance is a good match for Lachlan..I’m Australian Ryan and Lachlan are my favourites…but Lachlan is a complete unknown..he has had very few matches compared to the experience of Chance.
lol the commentator clearly clueless on what is happening, chance had zero chance at any time at any round in this match, todd was just experimenting to see in which worst positions he can still hold him, because we all know chance has no strength
You gave todd a good fight. Chance you've got a lot of potential just keep going and learn from the veterans. You can't beat experience, strenght and stamina.
I'm so used to running fouls, I hate that they stopped the match every time there was a foul. And speaking of fouls, there were quite a few that went uncalled...
Chance is going to be champion eventually if he keeps improvement and he is still young. Many years of prime power in his 30s and 40s. This kid is real deal. Next great mutil year champion in the making.
Chance bro you are an up and coming champ, you turned into one of my favorite pullers, I've been in this sport since 2006 and I've got to say I seen a lot of people you are your own style and a super versatile beast
back here after the Irakli match. now I want to see Irakli vs Chance Shaw One guy looks like he’s going to the Gym vs The other going to a Hawaiian Luao
And Dave Chaffee was just toying with this version of Todd Hutchings and almost nearly lifted him across the table when they arm wrestled. Just imagine how strong Dave Chaffee would be.
Didn’t like this match at all. Horrible job getting even set ups, called absurd elbow fouls instead of letting you guys work and the clear ones weren’t called. Wish you guys had a more professional setting to battle it out. And man was that commentary annoying! It’s armwrestling, not a bidding room!
ABSOLUTELY! BANG-ON. I don't get how people on here rated the commentary so highly, it was awful, and he had no idea who was fouling or who was in the ascendancy!
@@eddiedunn8061 Bro I'm pretty sure he had no clue who fouled because these refs weren't consistent or very expressive with their hand gestures to let people know. His camera angle he had might've also been our POV and if so, I can see why he ha do idea what the fuck was going on with the calls and who did what.
It was an honor to be across the table from Todd. I’m happy I made him work at least a little bit. Time to get back to preparing 💪🏼
who do you think felt stronger, Todd or John?
Awesome stuff buddy..You looked damn strong..
Try Marcio..lol..Win or lose you get to battle another legend..
Great progress, you're moving forward. Keep it up!!
If you wear a pineapple shirt you will be unstoppable
You so strong , you will stronger
Chance goes for that handshake faster than the refs go command lol
🤣🤣🤣fr
It is almost like a cope mechanism.
Like a nervous response lol.
basically tourettes
I've seen Michael Todd do the same, like let your opponent celebrate for a second
When Todd tells you to rub his head, that’s when you know you did good.
So much respect LooL!
Todd is looking absolutely JACKED.. awesome to see him in such a form, hope he is as healthy as he can be
The dude looks so damn powerful
Looks carved from stone.
9:23 Shaw literally elbow fouls whilst being told he can't afford an elbow foul...
Chance is so wild with that elbow -- it moves more than Elvis's pelvis.
Florida style
Lmfao rofl lol rotflmfao
Lol cmon fam
Chance keeps getting better and better. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him.
Didn't Larry wheels beat chance Shaw?
@@amlivinginhell No
@@amlivinginhell You can't judge much by practice.
@@amlivinginhell no, they did one ready for in practice and he got a pin while they were messing around. Big difference.
not if he keeps doing piss like 8:18 .
Solid effort by Chance. Hand looking huge. Closed the perception gap with his peers.
“This should be 1-1 right now” man who is commentating this event lmao
This was my question lol
I think he was referring to 5:00 where chance had him busted back.
To be fair the referees did a poor job with their hand signals when calling fouls. They were talking to the pullers but without proper hand signals the crowd and announcer can’t tell what’s going on.

Really impressed by Chance here. Todd is a machine.
is there actual footage or proof of chance ever winning a single match?
II never get tired of watching Toddzilla he's a freak
I liked the audio levels in this event. Also, great commentary.
I think this is the greatest commentator I've ever heard in armwrestling, I hope we keep seeing more of him, does anyone know who he is?
TimMouthy announcing I think
@@alexwillettarmwrestling5244 thanks
actually who ever this was , was so bad i muted the whole video lol
Good job chance. Seriously. And kudos to this channel and the coverage
Why say "ready go"? Just say go, so both athletes can not begin pulling. Make it like track sports.
Cause there can be cheating between the ref and maybe one of the pullers I think where they discuss when to cheat or give a clue about when to go. At least with ready youre making sure both are getting ready so there is no cheating.

The closest that Armwrestling comes to eliminating unfair advantages before a match starts, are WAL/PAL rules.
This was excellent. I did notice on that last round chance elbow lifted upward off the pad a few times and no call was made
Chance is the most aggressive hand shaker of all time. Offers his hand up to his competitor literally before the pin!
I dont mean this as an insult but as a serious question and i want to have a serious answer: What has Chance achieved that he deserves having supermatches all the time?
Exactly my thoughts. Last time Chance lost many people were saying he is overrated yet he gets this match and yet all people have to say is "Chance is so strong".
It's not what you deserve, it's what you can get. Good for him.
Bruce,..glad you're not the moral authority of anything
Lorenz, I'm sure his Father being an armwtestler has everything to do w it
@@bruceleroy8063 Good point
I’m kinda interested in chance Shaw vs irakli now! Chance made Todd work!
Chance Shaw is looking stronger and more prepared with each new match. He is one to look out for indeed.
Todd Hutchings arm wrestled my brother Robert Knapp knew him my brother died a month ago. If anybody knows him. 😭
condolences friend
@@xXJeReMiAhXx99 Thank you
A chance shaw vs Corey West would be awesome
Corey is too much for him. Keep in mind Corey hand is way too uncomfortbale compared to Todd's , also Corey taller than Chance.
Great “Chance” to pull another legend too💪🏼
Good effort Chance but way to go Toddzilla!

what did Todd weigh?
Great commentating, that guy should get hired for some of the big supermatch PPV events.
Totally one of the best i've heard yet.
He said “it should be 1-1 right now” when he wasn’t even all that close to pinning Todd in round 1. It was ok
good voice, inaccurate excessive calls all throughout
he does all the minnesota nbk tourneys Tim mouthy announcing. always top notch commentating
@@g29000 Nobodies perfect. He did a great job!
Wasn't expecting it to be competitive. Just like most others, I thought Todd was gonna destroy him. Chance sure is getting strong
))) Have you seen Todd used crazy side pressure move with full force? He played with him. With equal top roll opponents he goes straigh to strap. Here he just played with him. And as hook player i also prefer pulling with top rollers in strap.
His arm is a hydraulic press. Unbelievable side pressure… not human
Chance fought Todd valiantly. Better than most. Great match!

Damn. I knew they were pulling but did not know it was happening a few miles from my home in Michigan. I would have love to see these two pull.
Great match. Not a fan of people using elbow fouls to get restarts when they're losing.
Chance reminds me of how I used to pull. Except he's ridiculously strong. Making those adjustments like that. Chance has been looking better and better and better. Trouble's coming guys 🙂

Wow, chance was no walk over, big future I think.
That announcer Tim was brutal.
Holy shit Hutchings is in SHAPE! Maybe the best I've ever seen. That side is ridiculous.
Great match
"He cannot put Chance away!"

So you can be losing and just lift your elbow off the pad and get a restart? They really need to fix that, and need an official league, until then arm wrestling will always be a sideshow.
When did Todd start the head rub after the match? Was it against Lachlan?
Great commentary.
Chance vs Ryan rematch should happen. Both have improved and would like to see how it will go now.
Todd is so respectable!

TODD TODD TODD TODD TODD! Chance is putting in the work to become a really good armwrestler.
I get so nervous for competitions, being so up close with camera is making me feel that same adrenaline lol how do u control that?
I almost thought that Shaw has 4 legs. His arms were so big.
A little inexperience on elbow control for Chance, Todd drained Chance's horsepower and worked him over on the strap setup. Good match....
Chance is a hell of a puller.
Chance Shaw vs irakli! 💯
Todd is a dangerous dude. He can channel some serious strength.
I lifted for biceps🦾 145 kg. Can you?
How is the crowd so dead? Theyve got Todd Hutchins and Chance shaw up there, hell, even Snoop Dogg is recording them on his phone...
Todd stopped him in the first effort, finished him in the second, held him in the third the announcer has no clue???
You gave todd a good fight. Chance you've got a lot of potential just keep going and learn from the veterans. You can't beat experience, strenght and stamina.
Just became a Todd fan
Good match
Chance shaw did more against Todd than Irakli did....chance vs Irakli needs to happen at east vs west soon!
Chance is like 40 kg heavier than todd and irakli
Have you ever heard of weight classes?
@@olderthanyoucali8512 what are those? 🙄
Who cares? It would be an awesome match.
I'm so used to running fouls, I hate that they stopped the match every time there was a foul. And speaking of fouls, there were quite a few that went uncalled...
Todd is ridiculous. So strong.
Love the crowd getting into it. The king of the table broadcasts have had such a boring crowd. Not sure if it is due to restrictions there
Great commentary for this one
chance looks like he's on Devon's "pancake diet" lol
That toddzilla dance 😂
Awesome match but I wish it were best of 7. I feel Chance had at least one win in him and things could’ve gotten more interesting.
Chance's arm is looking massive 💪

Someone gotta teach the commentator to be unbiased lol
Whose the announcer?
Yordan Tsonev vs. Chance Shaw
back here after the Irakli match. now I want to see Irakli vs Chance Shaw
One guy looks like he’s going to the Gym vs The other going to a Hawaiian Luao
todd just waiting for chance at the pad after every go, foul, or pin. chance getting rubbed. todd waiting.
Could have called more elbow fouls on the young fella...
And Dave Chaffee was just toying with this version of Todd Hutchings and almost nearly lifted him across the table when they arm wrestled. Just imagine how strong Dave Chaffee would be.
And Levan pulled Dave with ease. Madness to think how strong Levan is given how strong Dave is!
Who's the commentator ?
You did really bet Chance. Better than most of us expected
nice to see the points somewhere.
Nice to see an almost 100 lbs difference make no difference
todd is such a beast for his age its crazy
I wonder who would win John vs Todd based on their respective matches vs chance.
John
Chance great job keep it up. It looks like you were breathing pretty heavy, continue your training 💪🏻
Damn tod beat that guy like nothing being way heavier than him truly one of a kind with side pressure my god
Chance vs Corey pls
