Alex Kurdecha vs. Dawid Zalewski (+115 kg Heavyweight)
Alex Kurdecha is riding a wave of momentum and confidence into this supermatch. Known for his crushing side pressure and endurance, Kurdecha’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular. His recent victories suggest he’s ready for bigger challenges, and some even believe he has the potential to challenge Levan Saginashvili in the future.
Dawid Zalewski, also from Poland, brings a different style—speed and technique. While Zalewski is respected for his mental toughness and tactical approach, he’s considered the underdog in this clash.
For Zalewski to stand a chance, he needs to outsmart Kurdecha from the start. This match will be explosive, with Kurdecha the clear favorite.
Pavlo Derbedyenyev vs. Kody Spur Merritt – Left Hand
Pavlo Derbedyenyev has quickly become a name to watch in the armwrestling world. With a versatile style and powerful left arm, he’s been dismantling opponents, and his recent performances have shown he can adapt under pressure.
Kody Spur Merritt, a seasoned veteran with a reputation for his iron grip and tenacity, will not be an easy target. Merritt’s experience on the international stage and his calm, methodical approach could prove pivotal. However, Pavlo’s youth and explosiveness might overwhelm him. If Kody can hold Pavlo in a defensive position and wait for an opening, he could upset the younger athlete. Expect a technical and strategic bout.
Ron Bath vs. Petr Kychuk – Right Hand
Ron Bath, a name synonymous with greatness in armwrestling, continues to defy age. At nearly 60, he’s still competing against younger, stronger competitors, similar to icons like John Brzenk and Devon Larratt. Bath’s endurance, honed over decades, is a testament to his legendary status. His 2008 match against Marcio Barbosa is still talked about.
Meanwhile, Petr Kychuk, a solid technician, knows he faces an uphill battle against Bath’s strength and stamina. History reminds us of Richard Lupkes, who, at 60, gave a masterclass against Denis Cyplenkov in 2012, proving that age is just a number. This match will test Bath’s lasting power, but experience might just edge out youth.
Allen Ford vs. RVJ (Rob Vigeant Jr.) – Right Hand
Rob Vigeant Jr. (RVJ) is returning to the table, and he’s not just here to participate. Known for his explosive top roll and smart setups, RVJ brings a unique blend of power and technique that has stymied many opponents. Moving up in weight hasn’t diminished his speed or tenacity. Allen Ford, a Canadian powerhouse, is known for his brute strength and relentless style. If Ford can impose his strength early, he might force RVJ out of his comfort zone. However, RVJ’s ability to adapt mid-match and his experience against elite pullers make him a slight favorite. This clash promises a lot of back-and-forth action.
Maateiwarangi Heta Morris vs. Ryan Espey – Left Hand
This match is shaping up to be a classic Canada vs. New Zealand showdown. Maateiwarangi Heta Morris, known for his overwhelming side pressure, will face Canadian champion Ryan Espey, who brings a balanced mix of power and endurance. Espey’s technical proficiency and ability to switch strategies on the fly could give him an advantage. Morris, however, has a strong arm and a deep hook that can drain opponents. Both competitors are incredibly strong, and the match could come down to endurance. Whoever can maintain their stamina longer will likely take the win.
Angie Bath vs. Petra Damm – Left Hand
Angie Bath carries the weight of a legendary family name, and she’s out to prove she belongs among the best. Her style is aggressive and well-rounded, mirroring her father Ron Bath’s relentless approach. Petra Damm, a formidable Swede, is known for her ability to outlast opponents and wait for the right moment to strike. The key will be whether Angie can control the pace of the match. If Damm can withstand the initial onslaught, she might have the upper hand in the later stages. This bout will likely be a battle of endurance.
Mikel Gould vs. Nic Stone – Left Hand
Mikel Gould is a strong contender with a solid record, and he’s coming in with a lot of confidence. Nic Stone, his American opponent, is known for his quick starts and powerful hits. Gould’s style relies on leveraging his opponent’s mistakes, while Stone will likely aim to overwhelm him early. Both are aggressive and have something to prove, making this match one to watch for its intensity. It could go either way, but Gould’s experience in dealing with aggressive pullers might give him a slight edge.
Miguel Leblanc vs. Nicola Gazzetto – Right Hand
Miguel Leblanc is a Canadian fighter known for his explosive hits and solid defense. Nicola Gazzetto, hailing from Italy, is looking to make a mark on the international stage. Gazzetto’s speed and technical approach might give him an initial advantage, but Leblanc’s raw power and ability to counter will test Gazzetto’s resolve. This match will come down to who can impose their style first. Expect a fast-paced battle with a lot of adjustments mid-match.
Danielle Evansen vs. Yulka Tochynska – Right Hand
Both Danielle Evansen and Yulka Tochynska are hungry for victory. Evansen, with her powerful inside game, is set to clash against Tochynska, who is known for her top roll and quick transitions. This match will be a technical battle. Evansen’s best chance lies in maintaining control and getting into a hook, while Tochynska will aim to keep the match outside and capitalize on any opening. Whoever can dictate the terms of engagement will likely walk away victorious.
Women in Armwrestling: A Rising Force
Women’s armwrestling has seen significant growth in popularity, particularly on platforms like YouTube, where athletes such as Mrs. Garcia have captivated audiences with their strength and skill. These athletes are not just challenging stereotypes but also elevating the sport’s profile globally.
