I like that you include females too, and the replacement is better as well. Still 99% of my attention will be on Ermes vs. Vitaly but the card overall is solid
I'm not condoning people's harsh criticism of these matches between lesser-known athletes, but I understand where they're coming from. Since its inception, KOTT has been perceived as the premium armwrestling event, where all the best or most famous/hyped athletes would clash in blockbuster vendetta matches. With the later editions starting to promote new names, the "premium" feeling has probably started to decrease, leading to a bit of frustration from some.
I don't quite follow how an 8x national champion and a gold and silver European medalist with a 17k following is considered a new name in the sport? Elsewhere on the cards, Devon, Georgi, Ermes, Vitaly, Larry, Leonidas, Lars, Serhii aren't huge names? I genuinely don't follow..
@@MattRhodesSport Don't take this the wrong way, Matt. I'm not disputing the legitimacy of the names in the sport, I'm just saying some of them don't resonate as strongly with the broader audience (obviously I'm referring to the women's match in this case, not the names you listed above). A good portion of the KOTT events featured people who were already popular in the community from social media exposure (even without having armwrestling expertise - see Larry or Khaled), so there was this glittery aspect of it. Now, less popular names start to emerge (also more matches) and that might take some people by surprise. Again, I'm not bashing your initiative, I'm just giving my 2 cents on why you may sometimes receive this type of negative reaction from the community.
I was hoping to get that 6th match spot but I'm happy for the ladies to get their chance on the big stage. And interesting to see Denis' training partner get a match as well. Maybe I'll get a chance at KOTT 10. Thanks for the update, Matt.
@MattRhodesSport sounds good! Honestly, it's like having two main event level matches in the same card so im not complaining! But ofc devon being the main event also makes the most amount of sense. Also wondering if that counts as a title match or a spot for the number 1 rank in levans absence. Its all very interesting to think about and excited to see how yall will go about it.
Looks to be a great event. I’m a huge supporter of the sport and have worked with Engin to support his events and would do the same for KOTT if needed.
Even though Lars has been out of the game, I think he might still run through Valera. I didn’t think he’d win against Maateiwarangi, but he shocked me.
I love to here you talk. You spit out some good line's. THANK YOU FOR LETTING WOMAN SHINE. I've seen many grate women arm wrestlers. Lars gets his arm smashed done!
This means Devon and babken will be in the same building once again lol make them sign the mma contract there 😂or plot twist another special announcement, Devon vs babken mma at KOTT9 Also, Ain’t no way Valera is tougher than Matte-Morris. Valera just started arm wrestling 2 maybe 3 years ago and has only had one super match his whole life. Easy win for Lars since he was able to handle a more experienced and probably stronger opponent in Metta-morris. Remember guys, more doesn’t always mean better. What separates KOTT is the quality of the matches rather than quantity of matches. In my opinion KOTT is the grandest stage to compete in. People from east vs west get recognized and get placed at KOTT. Shouldn’t try and set up as many matches as Engin does. What matters is high quality. 5 high matches is perfect but I understand budget might not be there yet to set that up. Good work though Matt!
С Валерой Чуботару у Ларса больше шансов на победу. И конечно Валера Довлатов менее популярен. Если на Ютубе всплывает имя "Валера" или "дядя Валера" все сразу думают на Валеру Чуботару - спарринг партнёра Дениса.
Hi, yes you can. If you have instagram please follow me there. As soon as tickets are on sale I will announce them. Front row seats and opportunity to meet athletes.
This KOTT is gonna be amazing 💪 👑🤘 Lars should beat that valera feller but hes a big ol boy lol. Babykin will stroke out if he loses too so that will be very entertaining lol. Keep up the awesome work Mr. Matt 💪😎
@@MattRhodesSport true but it’s the reality. Now people watching will be 15-20mins delayed to skip on this match. Might as well not have this match than to even think about charging extra
