Georgi Tsvetkov left his fight with Kamil Jablonski angry about more than the 4-2 score. He believes a key elbow foul went against him while Kamil received room during an open-arm defense. That complaint deserves a proper video review, even if the result stays exactly where it is.

One disputed call can burn far more than a point in a six-round supermatch. A long stop disappears. Both men return to a fresh setup, and the tired athlete receives another route to his shoulder. Georgi had already spent serious effort pulling Kamil away from the press. A restart carried a real physical price.

The Complaint Has a Specific Table Consequence

The post-match account attributed to Georgi getting an elbow foul called against him. He also claimed Kamil’s elbow left the pad while Kamil worked from a king’s move. Devon Larratt reportedly questioned Georgi’s foul on commentary.

The table consequence remains clear. Georgi’s defensive toproll had forced Kamil away from his shoulder line. As our match analysis showed, Kamil answered by preserving his pronation in an open-arm position and working back toward offense. An elbow call during that exchange affects who receives the next setup with a little air back in his lungs.

Review Should Be Part of the Product

Arm wrestling asks referees to watch the grip and two elbows while enormous men drag every useful angle toward the edge of legality. Close calls come with the job. A visible review process keeps those calls from becoming the entire story.

The promotion already sells a premium presentation and the EVW 25 card delivered a memorable super-heavyweight fight. A clear challenge rule would protect that work. Give each corner a defined window. Show the decisive angle and announce what the referee saw. Then the audience can argue about the standard instead of wondering whether a review was possible.

The Result Can Stand Beside the Complaint

Kamil won 4-2. He found a second lane after Georgi contained the first press. From an open position, Kamil took the wrist and finished the match. The pre-match style problem became even more interesting once both men had to improvise.
