Ron was actually at his strongest here, was on a healthy amount of performance enhancers and had of course the most experience and technique at this point. Bath was top 5 in the whole world at this time and you make it sound like todd is pulling an ageing bum.
@Nick Only a fool would call Ron Bath “a bum”... In fact when younger he was one of the very few giving Brzenk hell and even winning him... But come on man here wasn’t Bath’s prime..
watching these old matches and its no wonder mmt's arm is thrashed. even before getting his bonelock pushed on for years he was getting his elbow rocked on. how he lasted this long is incredible. like a mini jerry cadorette

The king's move move beat devon, jerry and Chaffee all in a row, good luck to the next guy cause he is going to be put thorough a world of trouble. Devons king's move is weak in comparison to michaels.
@William Boyle I probably have seen the match you're speaking of, but right now i can't remember, but you tell that Todd is a strong and good armwrestler because 1 time he flashed Devon? Watch like every match of Michael "your idol" Todd after 2015, he uses only the king's move to burn out the power (that he doesn't have) of the opponent. P.S. And yes he wins a lot, because with the king's move you need to have strong bones (he was the master of breaking "is own" arm) and the weight, and how you see he's like a marshmallow
@@sbald290 You got no clue what the fk. you talking about. Go learn more about armwrestling and then talk, not this Bullshit nonsense. You are just listening what every other nonarmwrestler has to say and proudly present it as Michael is nothing and can only win with Kings Move. He is freakishly strong and he has freakish ammounts of power aswell. Are you deluted or what??? You wrote it like he was braking his arm just on purpose.... '' (he was the master of breaking "is own" arm'' )
Todd has the worst technique ever. Looking a compete 90 degrees away from his hand. No wonder he broke his arm so many times. Now we are stuck with kings move cause that's all he can do now. Don't be like Todd
@Vegeta Dbiop Sure is , but that’s the only thing I cannot blame him for.. It’s a level playing field and the “he is juicing- he is juicing more” things are excuses for small kids or rookies in the sport. You know that , I know that
Yes sir, thts y hes n dubi right now with Larry on tht massive strength cycle raising his testosterone to the moon !!! Hes hoping he gets strong enough to not have to hide under the table when he gets another big match....💯🤣🤙
man this match is crazy to me still. its no wonder michaels arm is so messed up. there's no way someone is holding with their "bicep" for this long. the announcer is either dumb or being flattering on purpose. he's obviously putting 90 percent of the pressure on his actual bone/joint. just resting in arm break position. crazy.
Thanks for the upload! Man MT has been in some wars, I thought he was gonna pull it off at the end.. gotta respect Ron Bath though he gritted it out more, straight grown ass man strength
I love watching this shit!! These dudes are friggin strong and fun to watch 2 badass warriors go to battle!!! This sport should be way more popular.. hopefully it keeps growing man!!! Much love and respect from me brothas!!! 💪👍💪
@janczes10 Also , after 13 years , he continues to get every single prediction wrong ..(funny thing he admitted that recently) He would be a rich man if he bet his money the other way round of his predictions
Actually bath was 38 years old at that time, so he wasn't old, specially for armwrestling, a sport that you can do until your death. Michael Todd is 47 right now and he could be the best in the world.
@@Alex-1750 stop complaining, and hating on him. Bet none of u pussies would do, break ur bones, UR FUCKING BONES, heal and risk breaking them again. Todd had the biggest heart and it shouldn't be overlooked
@Nika Grdzeli If you like his style it’s your problem buddy..no one stops you. Btw he didn’t break his bones during kings move , and it’s not wise to break your bones 100times so you can perform an ugly km later in life..
@@Alex-1750 no, i dont like his style, the reason? I think while he kings moves, he fouls a lot and isnt stopped by the referee, not because i dont like kings move. Also i didn't mention anything about the style, its that a lot od people complain about him in general and make jokes about him being a queen and jiding under the table. While he used to be the manliest puller ever. All in, bone to bone pulling. The kind of pulling when the person with the strongest bones wins. He has broken his bones many times. He has experienced 100+ bone mini fractures. The only reason he kings moves is that he cant do anything else. His right arm mobility angles are 90-160. So he cant close his arm and he cant fully extend. If not that he still probably would pull like he did. Also even to his fouls and wal bad refs and everything, he is still very strong and that shouldn't be overlooked.
Because there is no way to tell if it was an intentional foul. For example: You go against Taras Ivakin, who is going to try to top roll, and you also go for a top roll even though that isn't your technique for the match, and you get an intentional slip. How will the referee tell the difference? Or a flop wrist where I don't have the finger strength to hold on. Who can say that I slipped intentionally?
@Craig Laycox It doesn't compared to other more conventional pulling styles. I'm not a fan of the Kings Move but I'm not going to pass it off as "cheating". Because it's a very difficult and dangerous move. Perhaps the most dangerous move in the sport. Don't get your panties in a twist there Craig lol.
I could tell who won just by looking at the likes/dislike-ratio
Lol i did the same
Yeah lmao
Not undertable?
@@kysike666 This was before Todd started using the kings move.
Lol so fkin true
My my my...can't believe there was a time when Todd actually pulled without hiding under the table!

But got crushed from aging Ron Bath

Thats why Ron beat him as Todd didn't lie under the table, Todds got a big mouth and didn't back it up
Long long time ago
0:57 That deadlift form hurt to watch
true :/
Please post your video showing the right way. I'm sure everyone would love to learn from a master.
The sportsmanship demonstrated at the end of this match was extraordinary!
It was Ron being humble

Cool to see how michael evolved his technique. This looks extremely dangerous
It's great hearing Brzenk as a commentator.
When I listen to Travis Bagent speak, it makes me want to clear my throat.
And this is when Todd realizes his strength isn't enough so the only way he can compete is to sit under the table!
Correction: its called the king's move, the one move who beat the no limit man.

I have no idea how his humerus didnt snap multiple times... He contorted that bone every round.
@@MrExcessumhe always armwrestled like that before. He’s tricky to beat and he is willing to snap his arm, he’s done it before
Todd looks big. But he also looks marshmallowy and soft at the same time.
That`s because you can`t see any visible vein. Todd has no veins. He looks like Stay Puft from Ghostbusters. lol

its true haha
I wish I would have known there was a sport of arm wrestling at 17!!
Bath was so strong for his size it unbelievable. He is a good sixed guy too.
The two moves of Todd: Hiding and losing.

No contest between the strength of hand/wrist between these two
