Genadi Kvikvinia’s predictions on “East vs West 15” Supermatches 

Genadi Kvikvinia shared some predictions about the “East vs West 15” supermatches on Engin Terzi’s channel.
Ivan Matyushenko vs. Alizhan Muratov
I think Alizhan is the favorite because he looks in better shape than Ivan. Although Ivan is very fast and explosive, he puts himself in a good position and hooks very well; it will be extremely tough to stop Alizhan’s powerful hits.
Vitaly Laletin vs. Georgi Dzeranov
Dzeranov ended up beating Revaz, and we saw that he is a strong inside puller. But Vitaly’s hand is different from Revaz’s. The question is whether Dzeranov’s wrist integrity will hold, or if he will lose his hand against Vitaly. I think if Dzeranov tries an outside pulling strategy with back pressure, side pressure, or a toproll, he will lose against Vitaly. To win, Dzeranov needs to use a hook, catch Vitaly, and beat him; or perhaps lose his wrist a bit but still push through and pin him. Both are in good shape. I think it’s a 50/50 match.
Michael Todd vs. Genadi Kvikvinia
I’m confident I will win because of how seriously I’m taking this match and how prepared I am to show my best against Michael. I wish Michael great success and good luck because he’s a good man, but he cannot surpass me. I’m recovering very well. Right now, my one-arm bicep curl is around 80 kilos. My max in my best shape for this exercise is 90 kilos. Things are looking promising, but my bicep is not at 100% yet. My pressing skills are the same as before, and I’ve been practicing long pulling sessions with strong armwrestlers in Georgia.
I’m not sure if I’ll be at 100% for pulling against Michael, but I’ll do my best. My wrist feels even stronger now. I’m sure after Michael’s match, I will be in even better shape. If the match stops, I will do the same thing I did last time. Judging by Michael’s form, he looks very good, so it’s likely the match will stop. Michael’s offensive game plan is nowhere near mine. Last time, he tried an offensive start to flash pin me, but it ended up going the opposite way. Michael is not on my level when it comes to being offensive. For this match, there’s no chance for Michael.
