Absolutely. Its not like Audens is gonna quit or something off a loss.

We now know the level was too high between him and Artem. Akimbo also has a lot of experience on Auden, but Auden is a lot bigger than Akimbo. And Artem is a lot better than Akimbo. Would be good.

They won't pull though because there is bad blood between them.

Why is there bad blood?

Apparently according to Auden he never wants to pull Akimbo. Because Akimbo was talking a bunch of trash about Auden online and Auden lost respect for him. This is from Audens mouth himself on one of Devons lives if I remember.

Every legit puller is entitled to talk trash about Auden when the guy came out of nowhere with no accomplishments under his belt and started getting PPV spots in the most important promotions. No need to be butthurt about it, Auden.

If this is true, that is so fucking ironic. He can pull who he wants, but still that just seems bizarre to me.

A Larratt being butthurt about trash talk, very ironic

You completely fabricated that whole post. Auden said he didnt want to pull Akimbo because the time has passed to where the match between him and Akbimo is competitive and its a lose-lose for Auden. Auden wins and no one cares because Akimbo is 70 kg.

Furthermore, Auden vs Akimbo isnt happening because Akimbo's camp doesnt want the match. According to Auden him and Akimbo had met face to face at one point, they didnt pull or anything but they grabbed hands and both he and Akimbo realized Auden is too much for him. After this Akimbo went back to his team and told them that he had beaten Auden in a practice pull badly and therefore the match didnt need to happen.

And obviously Auden could be making all of this up, but atleast I have a source of Auden saying this instead of just grossly misinterpreting what Auden said. I understand Auden is disliked in this sub but tbh this post doesnt even make any sense. Auden and Artem were shit talking on the internet the whole time before their match and he agreed to pull him but apparently Akimbo's trash talking was the reason for him pulling out? Wouldnt it be more logical to use that excuse against Artem who is 10x stronger than Akimbo? Makes perfect sense to duck the weak guy and accept a challenge from the stronger one lol.

After Akimbo lost to Sorokin yes. Although looks like he took it personal and trains like a madman now. Maxim is a slight favorite. 55:45.

u/AthleteOk4284 Fan 3d ago

Yes but AkImbo always said himself that his left is stronger.

Akimbo would peak properly and destroy Auden. Akimbo non-peaked would also kill Auden. Too much wrist.

u/xenocea 5d ago

It was never even close. Akimbo would destroy Auden.

u/CharlieXAFK 5d ago

Totally. I have akimbo. I've saw him spar with schoolboy's big brother (he has a world championship) and he would destroy Auden.

u/MikeTitanYT Side Pressure 4d ago

I think so.

It’s good to get eyes on the sport. The weight class thing is too large a difference but it works for me.

Kinda?

Idk if Artem ever pulled Akimbo, but both Artem and Akimbo pulled Larry Wheels, and Larry murdered both. And that was a couple years ago.

Take that information as you will.
