IFW646 – MARINA VS MICHELA HOLDS CHALLENGE

Handicap match
The sponsor decided to give Marina a one-point advantage to motivate Michela in this holds challenge. It wasn’t necessary — Michela always gives her best, and today is no exception.
Marina, however, is in great shape: lean, fit, and strong, as she proves by crushing Michela in the opening armwrestling round.

Shock start
The two move on to the sequence of five leg holds, with 90 seconds each to force the opponent to submit while preventing her escape.
In the first round, Marina scores with her front head scissors, then resists Michela’s counterhold and takes a 3–0 lead. From here, Michela will need to unleash hell to avoid a crushing defeat.

How will it end?
Holds challenges are a matter of muscular strength and endurance — but also of technique and strategy. Will Michela manage an incredible comeback, or will she have to endure the dreaded punishment round from the newcomer?
There’s only one way to find out…
