Oleksander’s recent domination over the undefeated, undisputed welterweight champion Davit Samushia left every single Armwrestling fan amazed.
Davit had overcome every opponent that challenged his throne until he encountered the Ukrainian manefestor Oleksander Telyatnik. The guy who had won every single duel up to that point couldn’t even pull off a single round against Telyatnik.
But the one who’s going to be facing him on 24 October would be none other than the former light heavyweight and middleweight champion and the sidepressure boss Todzilla Todd Hutchings.
The guy who has dominated one of the best Athletes to ever put their elbows on the Armwrestling table.
This is his entire track record in east vs west:

Although he is coming off two brutal defeats, it’s impossible to underestimate him in the middleweight division. On top of that, the fact that Manifestor is moving up the category, it’s going to be hard for him to fight against the former champion of the category.
Todd has staggering side pressure which makes his hook almost unbeatable and on top of that he has by far the best side pressure without the hand in the entire middleweight and light heavyweight division.
However Telyatnik’s deep cup with tremendous side pressure might be able to pull off yet another upset for the veteran.
How might this match go?
Oleksander’s sensational cup and side pressure has been too much for a lot of athletes. But even if someone might stop him in a hook, Manifestor has a heavy sidepressure based toproll which he unleashed against Davit Samushia when he was stopped in the first round.
This is one of the few moves that has caused a lot of trouble to Todd in the past but none of them came from a guy who was moving up to the middleweight division. It’s going to be an incredible side pressure battle where the hunger of the youth meets the experience of the veteran.
The raw strength both of these athletes bring to the table is something we rarely see as spectators. We can’t deny the fact that age does affect Todd’s endurance and raw strength but he is still as efficient as possible.
If Telyatnik stops Todd’s side pressure and counters it with the side pressure of his own it would be a long and devastating night for the former champion.
However if Todd manages to overpower Manifestor this would be a quick and brutal defeat for the Ukranian.
Who do you think is going to be victorious? Let us know in the comment section.
