@kasparov9 , He was unstoppable in 2006 & would defeat Devon & Alexey he was at his optimum strength & at the peak of his craft at that point, his loss to Ferit was INSIDE a full on deep hook match it was suicidal to hook with Ferit at that point of his career because he like John was also at his career best in 2006 John could've easily toprolled him a hundred times over but wanted to test his abilities & feel his awesome strength in a hook playing into the opponents area of dominance
he's a Polish-American, although he doesn't speak Polish, he's got the r1a1 genes which are most prevalent in Poland. He's the Mariusz Pudzianowski of arm wrestling
@SDSen Very brave of John to do that, playing with his opponents strengths, did John have any other amazing feats in 2006? I want to know why he would beat the Devon of today and Alexey? I mean Devon is very strong and has amazing endurance, how would he beat him? Alexey also?
& from one poster who witnessed the matches a Canadian, he said that John had the upper hand, if it were a best of 6. But it's only one view, the other factor there was that John was at 217lbs in his match with Devon. A John at 230lbs in the shape he was in 2006 is a different animal altogether but i'd still say it would be close. Alexey for similar reasons i'd rather not elaborate before an influx floods the forum.:)
The greatest match i'v ever seen out of ALL the armwrestling videos available..it shows you just how great and daring Brzenk was by hooking with Farid who at that time was the most powerful hooker alive..
@SDSen Sure I agree a 230lbs John is a monster, like the one that beat Denis 5-1 in 2009, would love to have seen that John against Devon, don't know why a rematch never took place, I think due to all of John's injuries.
i was in a debate with a couple other guys about another video, we were discussing brzenk and marcio. not farid, (the guy in the video). dont worry, i know my armwrestlers as well :-)
@kasparov9 You're right, since he toprolled him the year after, I agree that John just tested him in his strongest move - hook. Seeing as Farid climbs in the rankings nowadays, IMO he's getting really close to his top shape and maybe if he will be dedicated enough, he will be in the top 3.
@SDSen I went through northboard but could not find mention of that training session, there are so many posts:) Though his buddies that have commented on here I asked who was stronger, and they mentioned Devon. Biased I guess, would have been nice to get a neutral opinion.
That guy was Marcio Barboza, who has been continually defeated by Brzenk and Travis Bagent in recent competitions. Barboza (at the time ranked 5) also suffered a lost to rank 17 competitor - Mike Todd within the last year. I guess staying off the roids hasn't helped the brazilian.
I want to be as strong as these guys and look all beefed up like they are!! Can I do it with HIT(high-intensity training)? Someone please give me advice, thank you.
To Be Continied.. that's great. But damn that Uzbek is enormous. Brzenk must have used his technical skills and not just strength to pull it off in the second heat.
@greeneups I beat a state champ at my first arm wrestling practice but I'm not a world champ quite yet. I definitely hope to be one day, so yes, I am a pro arm wrestler to answer your question. Liquor is good..too bad I can't touch that stuff..Good day sir.
Freedom of CHOICE! It's about CHOICE, taking too much aspirin can kill/harm you also, eating too much junk food can, smoking can, playing football can, driving a car, drinking too much alcohol,flying in a plane, as many other things, ect. ALL these Law Makers that say this and that on banning this and that have taken away our liberty to choose for our selves and punish us with jail time and fines when we do choose for ourselves, I'm not a sheeple slave dude, be indoctrinated if you want.
@LukyGTAS This Farid was placed very high in Engin's 10 best of the last 10 years...very good question. But John intentiaonally goes into Farids strong point the hook, when he could have top rolled him.
by the way for the armenian problem just check out the russian archives.you will find the truth.Anyway why armenia did not open their archives when Turkey asked ? :)
FaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD................................................ To be Continied!
That`s simply because they are mostly pulling each other (vs making it a pushing match as most inexperienced wrestlers do), which takes most of the pressure off the long bones of the arms. Also....the bones are stronger.
"Farid! Farid! Farid! Farid!" It's like a kid who tries to interrupt his mom while she's talking to another grown up. "Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! I'm over here! Mom! Look what I'm doing! Mom! Mom!"
@bogdychamp I respect your opinion, but you talk about Voevoda like it's a fact that he was the strongest ever...it's simply opinion and speculation. He may very well have been but we dont know, if he comes back in 2014 and loses to Devon in a match, I suppose that myth will be busted..
@kasparov9 ...Well they say that' there's a high possibility he would, given his immense power & skill & hunger from 2006. He would've cruised through a 2008 Devon, but IMO i'm not sure about the Devon of today though honestly he stands a good chance, If you go through the Northeast Board about the table practice match that happened between Devon & John in Canada when John trained with the High Hookers before his match with Arsen, he had a couple of intense matches with Devon contd..
@SDSen Engin Terzi just named the 2006 version of John as the best of the last decade, he thinks that version would beat Devon and Alexey, would you have any idea why? Was John unbeatable in 2006? I mean he loses here to Ferit in a match. I can't see him beating say a 2008 Devon that beat him 6-0.
When you look at your hand while arm wrestling, and work on correct form, there is little chance of you breaking your arm, and you`ll realize this as well, because you`ll feel strong, and there would be little to no pain.
the guy he lost to was Marcio barbossa.... but in my opinion, something wasnt right about that particular match... it almost seems as though john is NOT trying... if you dont beleive me, search "John Brzenk Boomtown" and you will see what i mean, watch the very last match.... its the exact same guy, and john beats him without breaking a sweat.
lec compare the weight why don't u take alexy voevoda 250+ pounds vs imus and i saw match alexy vs brzenk and he beat him easy but still brzenk is numba 1 for me
@kasparov9 Yeah, John always loves to test everyone, but still his hook was super strong back then (and still is), looks like Farid was the only one who beat him that year. Also, maybe John wanted to toproll Farid but he didn't let him, who knows... Do you know what was up with Farid all those years till now? I see he's no.7 in the world today, but I'm quite sure I didn't see him ranked in top 10 in the last 2 years or so.
Fisher was very good but there is no comparison with Brzenk at all ..Brzenk is on a completely different level ..when they had a match Fisher cud not even budge Brzenk
@bogdychamp Voevoda in 2004, is no different than John crushing everyone at nemiroff 2008, if you dont beleive me find the video of 2008 Zloty finals, you will see what I mean.
there is far more than just being very strong. There is a lot of form involved in arm wrestling, for instance, you will probably notice they john has his body positioned at an angle which allows him to hold back usmanov despite his incredible strength. strength is not everything in armwrestling.
@LukyGTAS I think Farid hasn't been as involved in the sport as he was previously. And I don't think he is as good as he was before. John toprolled Farid the year after at Nemiroff easily, and don't think there are too many that can stop John toprolling them, I think he just wanted to beat Farid in his area of strength.
...steroids is dangerous...taken in excess, it could even kill you, or else cause a heart attack. steroids also increase the amount of muscles used in a particular movement, which can put unnecessary torque on the joints. it`s best not to use them.

LOL the guy yelling FARID is fucking hilarious!!!
Just watched the documentary on this guy. I have a whole new appreciation for this shit now. Breznk is a true bad ass.
Farid's BIGGEST fan was obviously in the background in this vid xD
the guy went nuts shouting Farid at the background

Jon the legend❤
Farid 2024👍👍👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
One of the best pulls ive ever seen, great job john.
One of the best matches EVER!
This u cant argue against, the finest strong men and such are fins! ;)
3:02 Allen Fisher wearing an Incredibles shirt LMAO
Dude is Legendary..😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤💯💯
yes, that is correct what i was referring to, thank you!..... and thanks for the weight info. it kinda clears somethings up for me.
@SDSen Very brave of John to do that, playing with his opponents strengths, did John have any other amazing feats in 2006? I want to know why he would beat the Devon of today and Alexey? I mean Devon is very strong and has amazing endurance, how would he beat him? Alexey also?
that fan was annoying as hell.
great match btw. that was amazing. john brzenk is the man!!
& from one poster who witnessed the matches a Canadian, he said that John had the upper hand, if it were a best of 6.

Alexey for similar reasons i'd rather not elaborate before an influx floods the forum.:)
I don't even watch arm wrestling and that was f'ing awesome.
I was referring to DanielSel's comment regarding the guy Brzenk lost to. For some reason, the reply was not posted under his comment.
The greatest match i'v ever seen out of ALL the armwrestling videos available..it shows you just how great and daring Brzenk was by hooking with Farid who at that time was the most powerful hooker alive..
@kasparov9 , It was uploaded here on youtube can't remember the name it was amonst a whole vid of Brzekn's highlight matches
Brzenk is good, amongst the best, he does deserve credit, but I cannot picture him being able to beat Denis Cyplenkov, Cyplenkov is a freak of nature
lol at Fisher popping up in the end "Yeah bro, up top!"
haha awesome, that was exciting to watch :)
Wasnt there another arm wrestler who was really good a big guy by the name of Bruce Way ..he also appeared in that film Over the Top as John Grizzly
@SDSen Sure I agree a 230lbs John is a monster, like the one that beat Denis 5-1 in 2009, would love to have seen that John against Devon, don't know why a rematch never took place, I think due to all of John's injuries.
Fair play to Farid for getting into a hook with John and winning a round. Even Devon didn't dare to hook John in their supermatch.
Johns level of skills in armwrestling exceeds those Magic Johnsson could dream about having in basketball =)
uzbek guy is the best ,world champion by armrestling!!!!!!!!!uzbekistan forever!!!!!!!!!
i was in a debate with a couple other guys about another video, we were discussing brzenk and marcio. not farid, (the guy in the video). dont worry, i know my armwrestlers as well :-)

@SDSen Where is that first match? I can't see it.
Such power! Alan Fisher gives him high 5 at the end..Mr incredible
I've read that John was the strongest in 2006...now I see him lose to Farid, so where does that put Farid? :)
what was done to Kurds ? Could you please explain ?
To Be Continied.. that's great. But damn that Uzbek is enormous. Brzenk must have used his technical skills and not just strength to pull it off in the second heat.
if u wanna get good at arm wrestling then arm wrstle, thats best thing to do
yes john is unbelievable...but give farid some credit! he DID win that first match against a heavy brzenk! thats close to impossible
hey can someone tell me surely, if two contenders have the same force but one has a longer arm, who wins? The answer is not as easy as i thought
@TheJATwarrior or was it??
so who won? the rubber match?
@greeneups I beat a state champ at my first arm wrestling practice but I'm not a world champ quite yet. I definitely hope to be one day, so yes, I am a pro arm wrestler to answer your question. Liquor is good..too bad I can't touch that stuff..Good day sir.
this was in 2006 the best shape of john ever?
so that was 1-1, where's the 3rd match?

Farid strong.....💪👍💪👍
someone say "farid"??
@LukyGTAS This Farid was placed very high in Engin's 10 best of the last 10 years...very good question. But John intentiaonally goes into Farids strong point the hook, when he could have top rolled him.
They each won one... Where is the tie breaker???

farid kick ass in 2006 he was strong as hell with a HOOK!!
"Farid! Farid! Farid! Farid!"
It's like a kid who tries to interrupt his mom while she's talking to another grown up.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! I'm over here! Mom! Look what I'm doing! Mom! Mom!"
So who won the match? They one a game a piece...
My man John, hell yeah
John brzenk is GOAT 🐐!
Then a look at the Cyplenkov vs John last opened in 2008, who won ??!!! You'll see!!
@bogdychamp I respect your opinion, but you talk about Voevoda like it's a fact that he was the strongest ever...it's simply opinion and speculation. He may very well have been but we dont know, if he comes back in 2014 and loses to Devon in a match, I suppose that myth will be busted..

at least 2 elbow fouls for brzenk, anyway, amazing match
huh the guy yelling FARIIID FARID FARID FARIIIIIIID is crazy :D
Awesome brutal match.
John is the BEST!!!
@q8altair12 , John said he felt his strongest in 2006, so yes I would say so
i work with a guy called farid this is how i shout him over
technical skillz dont matter if u aint got the strength to apply them skillz with

awesome amtch
BRZENK IS THE MAN
@SDSen
but damn he lose the first won and won the second this was a 3 rounds super match or what?
No tournament. John top rolled him pretty easy earlier. Farid had to beat him twice
lec compare the weight why don't u take alexy voevoda 250+ pounds vs imus and i saw match alexy vs brzenk and he beat him easy but still brzenk is numba 1 for me
yes i´m sure he will... but if so, I don´t give him any credit at all due to the fact that he is using unfair methods...
Yes...world's strongest hook 2006.
@kasparov9 Yeah, John always loves to test everyone, but still his hook was super strong back then (and still is), looks like Farid was the only one who beat him that year. Also, maybe John wanted to toproll Farid but he didn't let him, who knows... Do you know what was up with Farid all those years till now? I see he's no.7 in the world today, but I'm quite sure I didn't see him ranked in top 10 in the last 2 years or so.
Fisher was very good but there is no comparison with Brzenk at all ..Brzenk is on a completely different level ..when they had a match Fisher cud not even budge Brzenk
haha man that last one was hell close
alexey voevoda nu statea la discutii...
@kabus75
It's interesting to hear a Turk talk about racism considering what was done and what is being done to the Kurds.
WHAT?!
@bogdychamp Voevoda in 2004, is no different than John crushing everyone at nemiroff 2008, if you dont beleive me find the video of 2008 Zloty finals, you will see what I mean.

strength is not everything in armwrestling.
Isnt Alexey the strongest?
@LukyGTAS I think Farid hasn't been as involved in the sport as he was previously. And I don't think he is as good as he was before. John toprolled Farid the year after at Nemiroff easily, and don't think there are too many that can stop John toprolling them, I think he just wanted to beat Farid in his area of strength.
@LukyGTAS both won once. so they are about equal.
yeah yeah farid i'm comming for you FARID FARID FARIIID!!!!!!
...steroids is dangerous...taken in excess, it could even kill you, or else cause a heart attack. steroids also increase the amount of muscles used in a particular movement, which can put unnecessary torque on the joints. it`s best not to use them.
wow
nice.....
Farid Usmanov is a hell of an armwrestler but is not lucky and he is not fast , but being not fast is fair enough when u pull john !
Farid - The one with the dark hair
@lumberjak1984 ..Yep he has super intelligence as well.
did anyone say farid?
"Go Johnnnnnnnnnnnn !"
LOL
:] true
true
