Just so people know, this was an invitation for John to come and do a meet and greet as well as get some work in. He was never gonna go full tilt this close to his match with Devon.
Mad respect for John, but it won't matter how hard he pulls... Devon is getting ridiculously massive....also his right arm has grown in length and girth...how...not sure but check out his latest post.
He didn’t have to go full tilt to see he was not able to hold the guy. And just watching the first match again. He did go into a little shake. Probably close to full power and the other guy didn’t seem to mind….
Lol. John won the Over the Top tournament in 1986 for that movie. He helped inspire Stallones attitude in the tournament. Welcome to Arm Wrestling. Do some research and respect the history.
1:27 Not sure who that is on the left but he's an awesome and respectful Man. He's obviously fresh where John isn't and could burst pin him by the look of it. But you can see how careful he's being obviously because he doesn't want to jeopardize the upcoming match John has with Devon. Respect to him!
John Brzenk is an absolute living legend. Sure he's lost matches, but the man has cemented his status dominating the sport for over 30+ years beating guys who are much bigger than he was throughout his whole career. The undeniable fact is no arm wrestler could match his legacy & longevity. Even now at 57 years of age, John is still a beast. Even if he loses against Devon in their upcoming match it doesn’t change anything. John is still & will always be the goat.
Of course! He should be pulling at middle weight anyway he's had to pull the big guys throughout his career cause the guys his own weight was no challenge! I'd like to see him try for middleweight world #1 instead of bothering with heavyweights
@@nikmarkwell Devon has never gone east! Not 1 waf world title or zloty title! Instead of pulling 60 year old middleweights even though it's John he should at least be pulling true heavyweights if wants to get anywhere near Levan
John is so humble and a great sportsmen!! And he never shows his hand!! And always downplays himself! He's show's what he wants to. He may not have the brute strength of devon. But he without a doubt is the professor of arm wrestling!
Yeah that brute strength vs dave chaffe and todd Hutchings nice u r talking abt ? Under the table isn't brute strength.... i haven't seen john going kings move
🙏❤️🤜🤛 hey thank you for the compliment. More coming!! Yes it was an honor to finally meet and talk with him. His documentary definitely got me into the sport back in 2012.
Pavlo is a beast and very respectful. Theres no doubt he could have pinned John on that vid but had the respect not to need a practise pull pin on the GOAT. Cool to see.
@@Milky_Cum I dare you lol. Just a match. But I think Devon will have a much harder time than he did with Todd. They both aren't even top 10 in the world so chill fanboys.
@@Milky_Cum I agree. You feel legitimately confident putting your money on Devon as I do with Levan. Man, better celebrate the victory over John with all you got, as your pancake eater is gonna by deflorated by the most monstrous right hand ever witnessed by human eye.
Yeah Devon is the best he's ever been right now. I would never put John down because he has secured his seat in the pantheon but, having said that I don't think he has the endurance or strength to beat Devon anymore. My prediction is Devon wins every round
Man, I'm startng to agree with Devon. I think he may get hurt in the upcoming match. Can't even comprehend why John is even practice pulling with his injury, he's not resting at all. It's nuts
With any “injury” like this you need blood flow. John doesn’t really believe in lifting weights or gym work. He uses table time for everything. Getting a decent pump at this practice actually helped him. It’s how he recovers. He never once fully turned it on. All of us knew that.
Go watch Over The Top. Based on him. He has a cameo. That was a real tournament. Young Brzenk beat that huge guy Bull Hurley (a multiple world super heavyweight champ) in less than 2 seconds
I don't see John wining with Devon this time.May be he needs more time to prepare and gain some lost strength back,not to belittle the legend,but Devon seems like better prepared
Being a pro armwrestler, results may be different,but my observation is not wrong. Endurance needs more practice and lost strength takes longer to regain and at 57 everything takes even longer. John is my idol, I hope he wins too,but I am being practical
@Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow 1977 Well may be you haven't been taught to respect people and their opinions which is subjective.But at 68 years,I enjoyed your compliment,made my day.
@@dr.subhammajumder7113 dude he has devons number, he is like 4-1 or 5-1 on devon and devon hasnt shown anything in recent years other than that overrated win on mt
I love the redheads tenacity and war cries. The first war cry she let out at 21:03 livened the party up a bit and you can see it in the faces of the crowd. I'm a "growler" as well when lifting. I'm not sure why war cries aren't more popular honestly a lot of them get ugly but make no noise at all, it definitely adds to the power.
Love the difference between John and Devon's practice. John's: People have had a wash, no tyres burning, polite conversation. Devon's: Back yard of local crack dealer, someone walking around on fire, communication consists of screaming at the moon and head butting a dustbin.
Like they always try to tell Devon often times before a match lol its a win win situation for both sides whether John loses or not its a win win for John and Devon.
@@joshuawaddell6640 john won the last match lmao so yes I definitely think John has a chance, think about that, as a strength athlete myself I realise that putting on 30lbs of water and fat doesn't increase your strength much. If anyone is over hyped it's Devon, he really hast proven himself at all and people are biased towards him
Lots of blind people in the comments 🤦🏻♂️ it says "this was a fan meet and greet John wasn't pulling to his extent especially before his big match with Devon"
Most internet know-nothings watch stuff like this and think it's just matches and that John is somehow struggling with these guys. It is just practice, getting in a little work, with no intent of going for hits or pins because being healthy is far more important than a little pride at the practice table. Everyone who knows John - or Devon, for that matter - will tell you that those guys make you feel like a monster at the practice table. In real match situations, however, none of these guys would stress John at all.
Wisest comment on Armwrestling practice period. Casuals have no idea that if this was actual competition, it would be a one way street for them all with Brzenk in game on mode. Adrenaline doesn't kick in in practice, heart rates are blood flow are still idling. Come competition its a different story, and John Brzenk's biology - whatever that is - goes to nuclear level. You won't see that at practices.
I saw John trying to pull the russian guy Pavlo off the center and it was a decent effort. Russian guy did not move and his face did not show any kinds of struggle. It would be a bad day for John.
@@dandapper2397 Yes, but all you John fanboys will cry when you see Devon controlling the center and the hight round 1. Devon might just give him a round out of respect
Practices are kinda word of mouth and or like a FB announcement. Tournaments are on armfighter(dot)com Click the menu and go to calendar. Search by your state or just use the timeline function.
Love Dabe, but don't understand why he doesn't go after opponents fingers more. If I had that that large a hand, I would go put a ton of pressure on ones fingers till they open, even if it means breaking them.
