Pendik (►Google Maps) is a district of Istanbul, Turkey on the Asian side between Kartal and Tuzla, on the Marmara Sea. There are records of settlements in Pendik going back to 5,000 years ago, a Greek settlement in 753 BC, and many more conquests. More info: Pendik – Wikipedia

Engin Terzi ► Armwrestling Engin:

” August 3 Pendik-Istanbul.

Artur Makarov – Engin Terzi
Daniel Procopciuc – Murad Varhan
Gülhan Bilgiç – Ayşan Ergül
Said Erkam Bıyıkoğlu – Ahmet Recep Cabaoğlu
Dursun Önder – Erkan Damar ”

Engin Terzi ► Armwrestling Engin: ” My prediction about Makarov vs I supermatch.

Whenever we set the match i was FAT 92 kg. The match is going to be at 78 kg. Artur was 75 kg only 2 weeks before we set the match. Last time i asked him he said he is about 77,5 kg. So he gained near 3 kilos while i will be 14 kg lighter. As of now i must still lose 5 more kilos in next 9 days. My opinion is that my shape was good enough to defeat him but the question is if i will keep the shape i was in or not while i am losing the weight. When i pull at 70 kg my belly is about 80cm, when we set this match belly was about 100 cm and now is near 90cm. So i am no where ripped except my forearms.

About the technical things we all know that it will be an inside vs outside thing and the strength will say the last word.

So my prediction is 50-50. ”

Engin Terzi ► Armwrestling Engin: ” I have been communicating with Artur by WhatsApp for more than 3 months. Before our match i just wanted to say that he is a very respectful guy and a great athlete. I will not be so friendly at the table as i told him this and also told him to be not friendly at all at the table but he has my utmost respect no matter who wins the upcoming match. We were supposed to make some videos to challenge each other. He said no way he can say a single word that would be even a little negative thing about me. He said he is raised this way by his family. I didn’t know that his mother is a Turk (Tatar) and we have some common things as well. Anyways, such a great guy Artur is and i just wanted to share this with the Armwrestling community. I wish him the best. ”

Engin Terzi – facebook: ” Exactly where Artur is going to attack 🙂 ”

https://www.facebook.com/engin.terzi.5/videos/10158651194383012/
Engin Terzi – facebook: ” good lat always needed 🙂 People thinks that i will try a pure toproll against Artur but i will do a wrist curling row instead. Once if i can stop him next thing will most likely be a toproll. Time will show, we only estimate the things but we will do our best and the rest is probably up to power. ”

Denis Cyplenkov, Andrey Pushkar, Devon Larratt - ARMFIGHT 50

POLL: If Denis Cyplenkov wins ARMFIGHT 50, should he be included in the armwrestling rankings ?

Denis Cyplenkov, Andrey Pushkar, Devon Larratt - ARMFIGHT 50
Denis Cyplenkov, Andrey Pushkar, Devon Larratt – ARMFIGHT 50

PLEASE READ AND THEN ANSWER THE POLL.

The WORLD ARMWRESTLING RANKINGS by Experts were criticized many times because they are not objective rankings or points based rankings like in tennis.

As I explained before, it’s very hard to make points based rankings in armwrestling, because some top armwrestlers don’t compete very often.

And we have to keep in mind that on 11 July 2018, Dmitry Trubin was removed from the left hand rankings, after his left hand losses from ZG STRONG 2018. So sometimes if you compete more you also risk going down or even being removed from the rankings.

Now talking about Denis Cyplenkov, he competed last time on 22 July 2016 at ARMFIGHT #46 VENDETTA, when he won vs. Michael Todd.

So Denis will now compete after a break of more than 2 years… And considering that he also had some health problems last year, it would be simply amazing if he wins vs. Devon Larratt – left hand or vs. Andrey Pushkar – right hand…

But the question remains: is it fair to include Denis Cyplenkov in the rankings if he wins left or right hand at ARMFIGHT 50 ?

Brenden Lemmon Mulvihill vs. Devon Larratt

POLL: The first rule of Freedom Armwrestling: 1. THERE ARE NO RULES, VIDEO

Brenden Lemmon Mulvihill vs. Devon Larratt
vs.

When I first watched this video my first reaction was: WTF I’m watching here ? What is this, is this still armwrestling, or is it dancing around the table ? I’m confused. 😕

Then I kept watching but it was like watching a car crash… I was expecting to see a broken arm, I started to feel pain in my left arm.

Then I had to watch it again and again, I have to say it was entertaining in a weird way. I started to understand why freak shows were / are so popular: you can’t take your eyes off it. 🙂

In the same time, I had MANY mixed feelings about this.

Therefore, I made a POLL in which I wrote down many different thoughts that came to my mind, and I hope to see which of this thoughts get the most votes.

You can choose many (even all) the options in the poll. The video is below the poll. in case you didn’t watch it or want to watch it again.

PS: I made several articles about , I know there are rules, you can actually read them here.

After what happened this year with WAL (UPDATE: WAL 2017 Championship UnCancelled, Comments, VIDEO), many armwrestlers were upset.

PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL AND SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH THE VIDEO.

Below the Poll you can read some facebook comments made by Devon Larratt, Matt Mask, Michael Todd and many other armwrestlers about WAL comeback.

You can choose multiple answers in the poll.


Devon Larratt – facebook: I’m pretty sure its gonna be bigger than ever..

Dan Hickey: I hope so. I liked the WAL im really hoping for a comeback

Chris Gobby:

—
Devon Larratt: just remember Chris i don’t think you personally ever got fooled.. 2 ask anyone who has personal interactions with Steve – this guy never ever fooled any of us.. maybe made some decisions that we weren’t 100% happy with, but never were we fooled. don’t go off the banter on social media. talk to anyone who knew Steve, i personally will be very surprised if people knock his integrity.

Chris Gobby: I ll knock his integrity all day. He pulled the plug on an event to which many already booked flights & rooms too. Honourable men don’t do this

Devon Larratt: believe me – i was there.. along with a whole bunch of others who believed in a dream that we were working toward. I can’t name a pro league that doesnt have a strike or two.. thats what happens when you go to bat.. you may strike out. WAL was the biggest batter for our professional side of the house we have ever had.. and i think it is not done.

Herman Stevens II: I’ll knock his integrity based on my personal interaction with him. The attempt to fool me is as bad as actually fooling me. It’s insulting.

Chris Gobby: Herman Stevens II. It’s like we are the exact SAME person. Except you’re black and way more successful in all walks of life.

Herman Stevens II: Doppelgänger?

Chris Gobby: I don’t speak East German

Emilios Zahos: World Armwrestling Laugh

Ryan Johnston: Would be nice if those of us that qualified for the finals last year and went get a pass this year for whatever qualifier they come up with, if they come back. I’m sure most of us would be back on board if we didn’t have to do all that again.

Joseph W Drellack: I never pulled WAL, but enough of my teammates did….I am offended on behalf of them 🤪

Ryan Johnston: I pulled and went to all the WAL events I could. Hate the rules and set up, but by far the best events I have been to. You will never see that level of talent at an event at the same time again if WAL folds.

Joseph W Drellack: WAL has folded…..if they show their face again, it will be a comeback.

Joseph W Drellack: I went to one event, had a great time, but would NEVER pull their events. I do not sign on their dotted line. I was also questioned very weirdly about me filming their events, messaged by their “people” to tell me to take certain video(s) down….they NEVER shared ANY of my footage from North Regional…..in other words, they hated me, and I hated them. I was there for the pullers, not their logo or brand.

Avi Bench Whoever goes back to wal without any proper compensation has the balls the size of a liberal clinton follower

Mike Ayello: My balls are tiny for other reasons

Tom Nelson: WAL CHAMP OR DIE TRYING

Shawn Lattimer: I’ll still pull there if they get their shit together.

Dave DePew: You know who always has their shit together, never backs out of their commitments, and consistently delivers quality competitions? Bill Collins and the Collins family.

Devon Larratt: Bill is a great guy

Neil Pickup: Bill Collins is a Top Bloke.

Matt Mask: I can’t wait. If and when WAL comes back which will be soon. I will be there to support it 100%. My best memories in this sport was with them and hope to create even more better ones.

Matt Mask: For once I may actually have to agree with Tom Nelson on this one. WAL champ or die trying 😉

Michael Todd: Apparently you are going to use this a lot from now on?? ^^^

I would to have you here to go through a few of these with me,
EXCRUCIATING!!!

Devon Larratt: haha i love it. you are gonna win buddy. i watched that whole vid. you are an animal buddy. you are gonna get that world title.

Michael Todd: Devon Larratt, thx for the support! The workouts I completed this week were 50lbs heavier than the exact same workouts I did my last week before WAL finals & I still have 4 more weeks to get stronger!! 👍😜💪

Considering the patriotism of the Georgian armwrestlers, I already can imagine how the results of this poll will look like.

It’s a good thing that Tim Bresnan has no problem with being considered the underdog. Last year, 1132 people voted for Tim Bresnan 0 : 6 Alexey Voevoda in the poll. But the actual results were very different, See ► RESULTS: Armfight #45 Vendetta in Vegas, 26 February 2016, PHOTOS

POLL: Why Devon Larratt refused to fight Denis Cyplenkov

Devon Larratt vs. Denis Cyplenkov 50000 $
Devon Larratt vs. Denis Cyplenkov 50000 $

UPDATE: Devon Larratt’s answer from the comment section: ” Let me tell you.. I love armwrestling.. I stated I want to pull Denis. This is true. I did call him out, also true, but nothing new. I will tell u I have received several offers to pull Denis, yes – pal made me a very nice offer, which yes I did refuse. Believe me when I tell you there are much bigger things coming for the sport of armwrestling. I am now 42 years old.. I am not just a competitor anymore.. I have been involved with every major organization that has come through the sport in my 25 years in the sport. I have seen so many great ideas. I am working hard to put them all together..for all of us. Believe me when I tell you this match will happen. Believe me when I tell you it will happen when I have accomplished what I am trying to achieve. Have faith brother and sister athletes that our sport will continue to grow.. I will pull Denis in the right way so that it does the most it can. There is another level of connection approaching in our sport. ”

PLEASE READ ALL WHAT I WROTE AND AFTER THAT ANSWER THE POLL.

I like Devon Larratt, he proved that he is not interested only in the money when he is very sure of his victory (See ► VIDEOS: Devon Larratt vs. Big Frank Budelewski 2017).

What I don’t like is when Devon is provoking Denis Cyplenkov like: let’s do this, I really want this to happen, and later he refuses the match because he didn’t agree with the money offered.

If what Igor Mazurenko wrote one week ago is true, Denis was satisfied with the amount offered, but if Mazurenko paid Devon Larratt as much as he wanted, it would have been half of the total budget for awards. If this is not the truth, Devon Larratt has a different story, I will update this article with his side of the story.

In the INTERVIEW: Devon Larratt about Denis Cyplenkov, July 2017, at 25:49, Devon Larratt said that they made some offers in 2013 to Denis Cyplenkov for $50000, $10000 and that it was good enough financial incentive. What Devon forgot to mention in that interview was that the $50,000 offer was actually a wager / a bet.

It wasn’t a normal offer, Denis or any other opponent would have had to WAGER the $50,000 as well… I know this for sure because I made this article back then: Devon Larratt vs. X – 50 000 USD – World Bar Arm Wrestling Championships │24 August 2013, Las Vegas.

And even more important, the 50000 $ for the wager was offered by Marvin Alex Cohen on Devon side. Let’s just say that this guy Marvin Alex Cohen is very much “loved” by the entire armwrestling community now because of this UPDATED: World Bar Arm Wrestling Championships IS CANCELLED !

Devon Larratt also didn’t mention in that interview that he publicly apologized to Denis Cyplenkov on 21 August 2013, after he found out that the 50,000 $ wager / bet was actually a scam from Marvin Alex Cohen.

Devon Larratt – 21 August 2013: ” It looks as though the Vegas event is falling through. I wanted to publicly apologize to anyone who considered taking me up on the wager, especially Denis Cyplenkov who i made proposals to directly. Under the current light i would have to believe that this match also would never have happened. It was never my intention to be involved in anything shady, or to hurt Denis or anyone who would have taken the challenge . I was naive to believes the claims that were made to me, when all the warning signs were there. Many reputable people spoke up early, and i continued to promote the validity of the event by publicly issuing the challenges that came my way. For this i am sorry.I have purchased a non – refundable ticket to Vegas. Sooo i am there anyways. UAL – you guys are awesome. I have seen what you do with 3 days notice before, and if anything is goin down i will be there.. otherwise i will armwrestle for hot dogs and mustard on the strip.. “

Like I said before, I like Devon Larratt and maybe I would do the same as him If I were in his shoes, but sometimes I have the feeling that he is trying to manipulate the public opinion, he has a way of deforming the truth to his advantage.
