The whole point is that Lomong is nearly as strong at arm wrestling despite being much smaller. In a fight lb for lb strength counts for a lot, which Lomong clearly has more of.

Was that Bradley Cooper officiating?

What?? I would not bet on Lomong in a fight.
5'11 152 against 6'1 185.
Ashton's a bigger guy,no chance Lomong wins in a fight.
As awesome as Lomong is, he would have no chance.
Then you would lose!
Not sure if you are aware of Lomong's back story but the guy was kidnapped from his family at age 6 by soldiers, escaped captivity, travelled three days....
On this alone I would bet on Lomong...Tough as nails.
This would be old news for most everyone but maybe some have never heard Lomong's story. You don't think spending 10 years in a refugee camp he didn't get into a few scrapes along the way?
From CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/06/sport/lopez-lomong-lost-boy/
"At the age of six, Lomong, who qualified Wednesday for the 5,000-meter final at the London Games on August 11, was separated from his family when he was kidnapped by soldiers during a Sunday morning mass in his native country. Lomong was taken along with several other children to a prison where they would be trained to become child soldiers.
"I saw kids dying every day and I would say, 'OK, maybe next time it's going to be me,'" remembers Lomong, 27. "That basically changed my life and from that moment I'm no longer six years old -- I became an adult."
But a few weeks later Lomong managed to escape from the prison camp with the help of three older abducted children. Barefoot but determined, Lomong and his friends went a through a hole in the prison fence and started running as fast as they could, in what Lomong describes as their "race to freedom."
After running for three days and nights the boys finally reached Kenya, where Lomong spent the next 10 years of his life in a refugee camp."
