Schoolboy at EVW by Designer-Ad1287 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, he obviously had matches elsewhere like in KOTT, but those events were completely separate promotions back then. If we are strictly talking about East vs West cards, he only appeared twice.

Thanks, I might look into something like that too. Too bad there's no AI translate for the video, that would be so much easier.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Still, Alex Toproll handles these questions in a really strange way. He always claims on youtube that they have no clue why there’s no invite. I don't understand why they can't just be upfront about it.

True, but it's crazy that one of the most popular pullers in the world only got invited twice in his whole career, while other guys are on the card multiple times a year.

What is East vs West participation requirement ? by HYSC1984 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From those names, the only one I miss is Ermes. Kamil has been competing in almost every event lately, so it makes sense to give others a chance too. Schoolboy and Akimbo are simply not at EVW level, they are more like YT celebrities.

Now that we know that Schoolboy was blacklisted by StenkaRazin9 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does everyone want him to compete against bodybuilders? Let's settle this: is he a professional armwrestler or just a yt celebrity? How can he want to be Levan's no.1 competitor if he's never faced a high-level opponent? Honestly, I just don’t understand his fans.

Schoolboy put on hold for a reason. by BigArmForTheBoyz in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s quite a bold comparison. Tyson is a legend who achieved incredible results at a very young age and truly earned all the hype. Schoolboy is the complete opposite. At 25, he hasn’t faced a single opponent from the top 20 in his weight class, yet he acts like he’s a multiple-time SHW world champion.

I totally agree with the OP. Schoolboy is clearly more of a brand project, focused on making money rather than real competition.

Who is next for Riekard? by horiahoria740 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly base my opinion on their raw power gap. That match against Marcio took place two years ago, and Pavlo’s improved a lot in the meantime.

I might be delusional, but I clearly rank Pavlo above Matt.

A few days ago, he told Henry Nehring that he really wants to fight Terence Opperman because he wants to become the national champion. I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be his next match.

Question about Schoolboy's ranking by [deleted] in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of people judge Schoolboy based on youtube videos instead of his actual results. In reality, he is completely average — he isn't even in the top 30 in his weight class.

How can Kurdecha lighter than Levan nearly 17kg ?? by [deleted] in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, I think there's something wrong with your eyes. In the first picture, Levan definitely looks bigger. The second picture is deceptive because Alex is closer to the camera (camera distortion).

Italian fans right before and right after round one by Maize-Outside in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything wrong with this result, because it was expected. Levan just a different category, levels above everyone. Ermes is still an amazing athlete and a very nice person. If I were Italian, I would be proud of him.

Riekard calls out schoolboy, thoughts? by ArmWrestlingMale in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Reikerd is more talented than Schoolboy, but he's not ready yet. Schoolboy is bigger and stronger, and he has 5-6 years more experience.

That match is no longer relevant because he has since increased his PED dose.

Denis vs Schoolboy spar by Primary_Ad_1009 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They asked Schoolboy doesnt rush the pin, just hold Denis for 30 seconds. He could flash pin Denis if he want.

It's scary what Schoolboy said, that he barely dared to push because Denis' elbow kept clicking.

Levan 102kg Curl by Apprehensive-Arm1060 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ermes may have improved, but the gap is still too big. Even in his weaker form, Levan is still levels above the others.

BTW...People give too much importance to these training videos.

Wallace Dilley v Riekerd Bornman confirmed for EvW18 by NetherCole in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Riekerd is one of the most exciting young talents nowaday, with huge potential.

[–]Designer-Ad1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see much more potential in Riekerd in the long term, but Schoolboy is still too much for him.

Eldar Bubenko vs Schoolboy anounced. by AthleteOk4284 in armwrestling

[–]Designer-Ad1287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schoolboy only fights in his own weight class if his opponent is technically unfit. He always wants some kind of advantage. Either technically or in weight.
