Artyom Morozov made some predictions about the East vs West 11 supermatches on Engin Terzi’s channel.
Mindaugas Tarasaitis vs Daniel Procopciuc.
Daniel is the favourite. I don’t think Mindaugas has the same amount of styles as Daniel has. Daniel can do a couple of things at the same time: he can pull on the table and talk at the same time.
Oleg Zhokh vs Avtandil Tutberidze.
Due to the special build of Oleg’s left arm, it’s very uncomfortable for his opponents to be in a strap with him and there is only 2 options to beat him: side pressure or hook. I put Oleg as the favourite.
David Samushia vs Vladimir Maiorov.
I don’t remember how Vladimir looks like in his style, so I cannot predict who wins.
Zurab Tavberidze vs Artem Taynov.
Taynov has a very good toproll and Zurab has a very good hook. I remember Zurab had some issues with his left bicep, but if there are not injuries anymore and everything is healed, it’s 50%-50%.
Todd Hutchings vs David Dadikyan.
I will cheer for my teammate, Dadikyan. I believe that his speed may help, but this is very tough match and specially after the last match we saw Todd against Kydyrgali. Todd doesn’t have that speed anymore and his age is a factor. We don’t know if Todd is completely recovered from his last match.
Alizhan Muratov vs Evgeny Prudnik.
I think Alizhan wins because of his speed and insane side pressure.
Rino Masic vs Ivan Matyushenko.
I’m 100% sure that Ivan will win because it’s impossible to toproll Ivan. As Arsen Liliev said, his cupping will be closed in any circumstance. I think Ivan is heavy favourite and he will win.
Artyom Morozov vs Alex Kurdecha.
My weight is about 126 kilos. I’m not having a goal to gain as much weight as I can. Everything is fine about my stomach issues. Training is going very well. I’m constantly gaining. My power and overall strength is growing very good. I’m lifting more and more weight. At this moment I’m at 80% of my best shape. If my plan goes well, I will be close to 100% the day of competition.
I really want to have my third World champion title with left arm, but table will show. Alex’s toproll is known and it’s very strong. Even if his hook is weak, with the strength of his bicep and his body weight, it’s gonna be top level anyway. I’m interested on how this match will go, I believe it’s going to be a very nice war. The strongest will win.
Paul Linn vs Irakli Zarakashvili.
I think Irakli most likely will win.
Matt Mask vs Wagner Bortolato.
Matt Mask will win.
John Brzenk vs Krasimir Kostadinov.
I think John will win in the 105 kg category.
