This wasn't long after Devon crushed Michael Todd and looked invincible. For John to force Devon into the kings move and almost pin him that first round is crazy. Insane power.
wth this was several months after his boxing match against thor
@@xyzmti fr haha this Guy's lost, the Devon that faced Levan would absolutely demolish prime brzenk
@@michaeljdkdkd Devon also is heavier than John . He couldn’t beat John in his prime at the same weight.
Devon wouldn't stand a chance against John in his prime
@@Unwelcomedpolitics no he wouldn't 💯 NO CHANCE
The look on Devon’s face when they start pulling first round and John takes him close to the pad is priceless he’s like fuck me fuck me fuck me but his strength is unbelievable, two legends man 🐐’s
????
@@Luis-nl4hi what question mark didn't you realize what he said
Can't imagine the strength and focus it takes to make Devon have to work for it. John is a legend. John takes an L to save for the next round and that's almost his whole game. Total control.
🤦♂
@@ichhaltweil729 gay
The fact that when John bowed to him at the end and Devon shook his head no, then bowed to him shows great respect. You do what you need to do to win during battle but he has a big heart! ;)
How you win is more important than the fact that you win. If he had a big heart,he wouldn't behave like that. He is like a little kid who needs to boost his ego
@@tomioka6554 I have to agree with you. Unless armwrestling is a trash talk sport. Like ice hockey or mma. I don't know the customs
Arm wresting titans

Devon during match:
"YOU'RE GONNA GO DOWN BOY IT'S ALREADY OVER"
Devon after match:
I am thankful and humbled to be able to wrestle this man
So wholesome
I dont like it
Devon must remember those days when he was nothing in front of John's prime.... John never let him win till 2015. Devon was able to win in 2008 as John was injured
@@libertas12devon also had rh surgery in 2013, and still wasn't 100% in 2015, and there's a reason why john wasn't at 2016 wal, when devon was recovered. Don't make excuses
@@jackedharshpogo fir u
No sean tan amargados, si ven cada final de Devon siempre admira a sus oponentes, pero dentro de la competencia es su forma de juego y solo queda ahí, además le da esa picardía de enfrentamiento que lo hace divertido, ustedes toman todo muy personal.
John Brzenk is truly the absolute GOAT. He is as old as my father and still competing at the highest level.
And John beat him in 2015 to! thats more impressive I think then Larrat beating him here but there both freaks especially John, Prime for prime Johns wins over the years even though I think there officially 2-2 yah?.
@@danielhicks4826 Not really. Prime John wasn't even the best of his time, it was always a 3 way contest between him, Lupkez and Goodridge. They beat John consistently and had #1 exchange between them from time to time. It really wasn't till 1994 when Goodridge officially retired that John firmly became the undisputed #1 since the 2 guys who could beat him during his best both retired. From 1994-2004 John was largely left unchallenged, all the big names like Travis, MT, Todd, Devon, Denis, Pushkar etc they were just starting out in the sports and slowly growing to be pro level. But then he lost to Alexey in 2004 which was a shock and in 08 lost to Devon, then 2010 lost to 50 year old Lupkez returning from retirement.
Prime for Prime, it's unlikely anybody remains undefeated.
John is the goat
John brzent belong to the arm wresting nuring home;; devon new champion of arm wresting
@@jjsyphor8288 too bad Alexei dodged him like a man in the Bronx on father's Day. I think to this day Alexis win against John was a fluke. The year after John put on mass and was looking for blood and Alexei was nowhere to be seen. Too bad the rematch never happened.
Michael Todd breathing like he's on a Respiratory Machine in the background lol
Brah on god 😂
He ruins everything 🤣🤣🤣
Dude was worked up for sure :)
Well, for the USA, they may be strong arm wrestlers, but if they come to the CIS, they will turn out to be weaklings compared to Laletin or Levan :))) - Ну для США они может и сыльные армремтлеры, но если в СНГ приедут то окажутся слабоками по сравнению с Лалетиным или Леваном :)))
@@kohbeep_kekcob3490 shut up posting this on every thread.
John is like the dad who would say “you beat me at the table you can date my daughter” 😂
HAHA good one. He is the greatest armwrestler.
Was Jodi his daughter
John is the best of all-time, by a mile.
The fact he's still competing on a high level is beyond amazing.
Much respect to the GOAT 🇺🇸

@@fendiarteg4 If you are talking about legacy, literally no one, and I mean no one in this sport would give you any other answer than John. And if you're talking about strongest at peak, Larratt isn't even in the conversation lmao
@@fendiarteg4 "and all the best have been beaten by Devon"
Why you lying
The crowd went crazy for John in the first round. I think everyone wanted him to win for real.
Ofcourse.....John was the underdog
When the people's hero is defeated by the villain. 😢 He even plays the part with the taunting. *demon voice* "This is nothing John, I don't even feel it. After I defeat you I will tear your arm off and hang it in my lair. resistance is futile..just give up JOHN....yes..just like that! that face you make when you give up hope is most satisfying." *generic villain laugh*

At 57 he forced Devon to use King's move, that's enough to prove why is the GOAT
Can we just appreciate the size of those guys hands compared to the ref's? It's like a gorilla grasping a baby's mit.
When Devon starts to tremble and you see all his veins start acting up like snakes you know there is another titan standing in front of him with superpower
Man....this comment. 🔥🔥🔥
Not really, most of the times when I'm just defending and holding center against a weaker opponent, I start to shake from the intensity, it gives the weaker guy a false sense of power until I hit back and pin him easily, in the third round Devon was doing exactly that.
@@anonymousunknown2919 ok but this John not some random dude from the bar...i know what you mean but this guy still got the classic "old man strength "
@@blablablabla4899 in the first round sure, not in the third.
Thats completely wrong. THis is how devon wrestles he absorbs hits then seeps your power.
John at 57 is still such a monster! Devon showed that he can’t come back after 5 years of doing nothing and beat him though! Wonderful match and thank you to Larry and Adam for getting it set up 💪🏼
Next King of The Table it be awesome to see Ron Bath vs John Brzenk one last time!!! 💪
I want to see todzilla vs John!
Irakli zirakashvili vs ermes gasparini.
Levan vs alex kurdecha.
Larry wheels vs khaled.
I think this is the most accurate comment in regards I’ve seen on this outcome. John rushed this match. Devon is an absolute monster right now. I think if John stays with it. He’ll be pretty insane in another year once the muscle memory kicks back in.
@@alfonsolopezarreola3078 irakli 90-95kg not 120kg that doesn’t make any sense
What’s amazing as Devon has been putting on size and strength for last while in preparation for Levon, and John brzenk could still pull him forcing Devon to use the kings move, John Brzenk is just incredible
Lookn at Devon's forearm, clearly wasn't pushing it. 2nd match his forearm goes popeye and he kills him.
@@Pp-sr4cs I don’t know man, I think John just caught him on the grip, Devin‘s face Morrison to one I’ve never seen him make before and that first pull lol
@@chrislaverick6413 If you didn't understand what I've said, it's that Devon did it to give a John a fight everyone wanted to see. When Devon decided to go mano o mano, he just stopped John. Look at thr vascularity in both rounds, 1st one Devon didn't gas the pedal, while on the 2nd he went killer mode and just stopped him.
@Pp there’s a lot more to armwrestling than just “pushing the gas pedal”. The set up was different in round 2
@@drygordspellweaver8761 Because Devon chose to, so doesn't matter. There's no argument to be had when Brzenk got flash pinned in the 3rd, played with in the 2nd.
So heartwarming seeing Devon being that humble when talking about John.
Only because he won
@@resinfingers3896he's humble in victory and defeat
Man it is absolutely mental that John is still in the game and still is amazing. The dude has been doing this for more than 40 years by now. Nothing but respect for the GOAT.

Rare to see John’s feeling out during a match. Hard to see but at the end the sportsmanship is here and Devon took this match very seriously.
I would never understand why Devon needed to do a bunch of false starts and cheats in setup while facing a retired legend, it made him look really dodgy and unsportsmanlike, he would win anyway as he is stronger.
@@y37chung Devon took this match seriously, not care about the age. He gave his best to win and was well prepared. For me this is a mark of respect for John. He accepted the challenge with everything to loose.
@@y37chung Nothing what he did was "cheating" if Devon is a cheat so is John, Johns elbow was literally OFF the pad during setup and starts.
Johns the best arm wrestler of all time, anybody would take him very seriously
@@lordazzeater8051 of course he is the GOAT. But in 2015 Devon didn’t have the good mentality to win.

@@johne3999 Yep, thats what happens because of a lot of weight and use of steroids.
He ded soon
14:11 In that second Devon starts leaning back and making force, he started before the referee said "go" and get an advangeous position
Now Devon may look as if he is putting forth a lot of pressure before go, but if you look at his shoulders, he is doing nothing more than getting into a more open position to brace for Johns side pressure, yes this could be considered somewhat of a load, but this certainly did not dictate the way of the round, Devon was just the better man this day, John is still the GOAT 🐐 🔥
the humility of both these guys toward the end is touching. they have so much respect for each other
Such an epic match. Two legends meeting each other. What a time to be alive.
20 years off the mark. Props to John at 57 for taking on match. Breznk in his prime wouldve likely been different result

@@sebastian_yt2124 haha ya. Devon stands no chance. Devons demolish against levan really shows devon just is top 2 because of popularity. Hes a great personality and my personal reason i got into armwrestling. However i think its clear prime john destroys devon just like he did in 2004. Old ass john beating young ass bald devon lol levan was disrespected to be put up against a withered away guy like devon. Prime levan beats prime devon any day of the weak. However, prime levan does not beat prime john. Only alexey was that powerful enough. No not denis, no, not even the greaf american richard.
@Tom If you are going to call someone a "moron" for no apparent reason, at least make sure there are no typos as that makes you look like....a moron.
When John lost round 3 it felt like a funeral in that room man, the atmosphere went stone cold.
That made me tear up. "I'm sorry John, John I'm Sorry". I couldn't imagine a better way to show your feelings
Amazing. John is an example to every one in their 50s.
Both their arms are dead. John is 57 and still putting that kind of fight up. Pretty amazing. These are two of the top 3 ever, with John being the GOAT in my eyes. Like Devon said, 40 fricken years of top level, across multiple weight classes, and half the time crushing guys twice his size. Pretty phenomenal.
Who is the other? Devon had said the best version of himself couldn’t beat denis and he said the same with Levan.
Larratt is nowhere near the top 3 all time, he lacks the achievements.

It’s unbelievable that John can still compete at that level after over 40 years , now we have to see Levan vs Devon
Levan vs Devon = Denis vs Devon
@@dfk331 that was left hand and Devon was 20kg lighter and he seems a lot more focused and serious now, result may still be the same but I still want to see that match
Not sure if you missed the 6-0? No, John can't compete at this level.
His better off facing the guys that are not yet supermatch material like no chance shaw, Ayello etc
Doesn't take his achievements away, but he'll need to train allot more out of retirement in order to compete at heavy supermatch level with the likes of Devon, Jerry, Michael etc
Devon will have to bulk and get even bigger than he was when he beat Michael Todd. Levan is on a different level man. His sheer size alone
@@qswedasf John did great , hes still top10 in NA
23:08 larratt literally roaring like 🦁!!!!,,, Legendary match ❤️🙏🏻🇮🇳🇮🇳
Im new to the sport of arm wrestling. I have been watching videos of Devon Larratt. Really love the tactical way that he approaches the game. Love the mind games that he plays. The one thing that I really enjoy about arm wrestling is the way that the competitors treat one another before, during and after the match. So interesting the trash they talk during the match and the unbelievable respect they show one another after the match is over. I love the sportsmanship after the heated battle.
This an extremely strong Devon. I hope this doesn’t discourage John from continuing to make his comeback. Great match from two of the best ever.
john is getting too old for a comeback
John just needs maybe another 6 months of hard training and then he will be ready to go.
Anything that looked like struggling here from Devon was purely for show. Round 3 and the pull down at the end of round 4 are proof of that. John can't compete with this guy. He's 57, it happens. He's still in the running for GOAT, but he's not able to compete at the top anymore.
John pretty much dominated everyone else when he came back until he ran into Devon, so absolutely shouldn't feel discouraged, Devon is literally top 3 in the world
@@kingcrimson234 Devon is actually a piece of shit. If he was stronger, he would just stand fare and square on the setup without this clowning around. In UAL he would be dq-ed before aproaching the table..
Devon absorbed John's strength and stamina in the first round. Next rounds were end of the story...
yes by cheating and using kings move lol
6:56 “Don’t F***ing touch my hand” ✋

Just an act.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 No it's not fool. Devon loves John.

Devon is so crafty on the set up. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It is the entire focal point of a match for him. He uses everything in his tool bag. I like and admire this.
The level of competitive tanasity and respect shown after is awesomeness
love listening to a guy struggling to breathe for 30 minutes
Good for you
Pretty dumb sport tbh .
I fucking love those breathing sounds. They're calming 😅
And then when he speaks you can’t fuckin hear him! It’s like a Christopher Nolan film
😂😂😂
Only John can come out of years of beer drinking and taking it easy having a good time with friends and then compete, already being very close to the top level competitors and all that within 6 months of training... Let's see him again in 6 more months to a year of table time and competition. I think history will have new stories to tell about John again.
Don't fool yourself. This wasn't "very close"
I love John and no arm wrestler will match what/who he is for the sport but Mel is right. This was not even close at all.
If you can make Devon Larratt work that hard in 1st round, yes you are very close to top level. In supermatch format Devon would have done the same to many other top pullers in the following rounds
Close to top level doesn't mean close to Devon Larratt. I consider Michael Todd being at top level even though he also lost 0-6 to Devon. See?
Father Time takes his toll on every athlete. In another 10-15 years Devon will be in the same boat.
If staying in shape and training was enough, you'd see 50 year old men Olympic weight lifting...but that just doesn't happen.
John Brzenk is the definition of “age is just a number”. Amazing for a late 50 year old man. Old man strength 😂
10:00 Just try to imagine how strong was John Brzenk in his prime. It would be nice to see prime John Breznk against Levan too :)
Man denis was unable to defeat the prime john ...i dont this devon would had chance against john
In his prime he made denis look weak, who made devon look weak. I bet prime John would masscre levan.
@@dillianwhyte443 🤡
No chance, Levan is peak above everyone
When John beat denis he was very young and green not close to his prime strength.
Devon got denis at his best.
Say they all could be in their prime. Devon was the strongest he’s ever been cs Levan. John is way too small for Levan it wouldn’t be close.
Denis would have small chance but I can’t see him winning.
But John vs Levan. I would bet everything I’ve ever owned on Levan.
When Devon's laughing he knows he is in control
Yo big thank you to Larry and core sports for putting this event on and giving arm wrestling the support it deserves. Thanks guys.🙏
Larry and Devon colab single handedly saved arm wrestling imo during the covid nonsense. At a time where everything died down they provided entertainment that we fans all yearned for!
This is the first time I've seen Devon act, how you say, calm before a match...so used to him acting out and playing mind games...but there's a level of respect between both guys.
Its because of Devon I got into armwrestling from the beginning. Then I saw the movie/documentary "Pulling John. After that I was totally hooked👍 "Pulling John" I learned a little about the history of armwrestling and from that on I have been a huge fan of armwrestling. Thanks Devon and thanks John for opened my eyes for this sport. 😊👍👍
I liked watching Devon wave off John for bowing down and Devon did that back too John. Basically John dosen't have to bow to knowone for what he's accomplished and done for the sport. If John stays focused he'll get more endurance back. Proud of both those guys👏
I don't know if it's a matter of endurance, I think Devon was mostly just playing with him starting in round 1.
@@kingcrimson234 possibly! I think Devon treated round one like he does in his backyard practice sessions where he let's people hit him in there best powerful position and I feel like Devon did that. The thing is I think since Devon did he got a little compromised and truly looked like he needed to kingsmove to stop John, just a little underestimation from Devon from the power John had early on is all. Devon is in top form now and John continues to improve more since the Devon match so I'd still consider John easily between 10 to 20 rank at his age.
Devon is a hard wrestler to figure out..
He plays defense so much it's hard to gauge how strong he actually is, and it suprises people when he attacks, because he likes to start in defense mode
Dam if John could have Popped that pad in round 1 .... Devon puts in the work tho.. Hard work , only thing working harder is Michael Todd's Nose :-)
Have you seen Devon pull before? That is his style. He outlasts his opponents. Draining them until they have nothing left. Honestly, if he can't stop Levan, he can't win. He has to somehow stop the match and then drain Levan because nobody has greater endurance or stamina in arm wrestling than Devon.
@@LatinomiczLevan is going to be Cyplenkov again. He's going to squish his arm like a pancake at "go" unfortunately.

@@chrismatheson4729 Not really. Maybe not on the table against Levon where there is too big a strength gap to overcome but it works on many others and always sells a shit of tickets.
@@Bit2brain I was only talking about his match with Levan.
Even at his age, Brzenk still has it. Insane.
Respect to both of these guys and the legacies they've created for armwrestling. Also, I love Devon respectfully talking trash, LOL. "I'm sorry, John. I'm sorry." - "You should be sorry." LMAO.
Two LEGENDS. It was a fun and awesome match! Thank you Larry for everything you're doing to promote and share this amazing sport!
John is right. Devon's tactics is to start of postion where opponents hand hand is strethced out more.
The way they are so respectful to each other when not arm wrestling but when they are doing it they are so aggressive to each other
John is way stronger than anybody thought.. At this age its phenomenal
Met John at the Yukon Jack Tournament in Minneapolis in the 90s. The guy was so freakin nice! Super friendly and toyed with me on the table. Could of broken my arm but was so professional. He was just the spokesman for the tournament. I took 3rd. Could not use my arm for weeks afterward.
3rd is no small feat.
3rd? You must've been a beast!
These 2 legends made that sport more beautiful and grateful
What a Legacy and fitting Intro... Two weathered warrior s... Myths ... *LEGENDS*
Result went as expected. Even though John came up short. He’s still the goat & has nothing to prove. To be at that age, coming off retirement & stepping in to pull against someone like Devon is already something to be praised.
Devon was just the better man that day..
He’s is looking really good, and been on leveling up on all fronts. Looking forward to seeing him pull against Levan!
Respect to both Devon & John. An amazing event & thank you Larry for what you’re doing for the sport. 💪🏻🔥
useless match vs levan
Even if he gets like the match with todd or even bigger i don't think he cannot still win the 6th round vs levan
Levan will crush him very easily
Devon is a Beast for sure, but he still has some leveling up to do for Levan. I'd bet every dollar I have on saying John could beat Devon out of the straps though. Id like to see a rematch with rules that don't go right to the strap, just to see the outcome.
@Jd Walker John already admitted Devon had stronger hands and John needed the straps to even compete. Thats why every round after the first John was the one asking for the straps right away.
Devon is passed John in every way. He barely gave Devon a challenge with a 2 second head start in round one....
He's passed his prime man
How can people not see that John was actually IN CONTROL of the grip set-up in that first round and was manipulating it perfectly. Even his face and body language show it, Devon was the one genuinely emotional amd not comfortable in that set-up.
Like it or not, John is a MASTER manipulator, like Devon, just much more Subtle...and that is why he is Goat.
Checkout the video Sabin Badulescu posted, from his angle you can see very well.
Because he wasnt, Devons a cheater
What do you mean? Look at the various times Devon moves his elbow to the very front of the pad, and simultaneously rises with his hand. John, with the shorter arm, can’t possibly get a fair grip like that.
I have a teammate who I practice with who sets up like that occasionally, and know exactly what John was feeling like in that scenario. It’s physically IMPOSSIBLE to get a fair grip in that situation.
It's so stressed out and difficult to witness my idol, inspiration berzek struggling to win a single round ,regardless of that he will be always my favourite and lengend 🥲 before a decade he was truly a monster who shocked the whole arm wrestling community
If it makes it better John is almost 60 and forced Devon into kings move round 1 when he said he wouldn’t need it
I agree 100% no doubt, these guys are the reason the sport is around and growing.
Bought the PPV and enjoyed the entire broadcast. Great job Larry and everyone involved!
God bless ya for supporting it . Devon is just younger and better . Dam John at almost 60 is a Beast tho :-)
Same. For me living in the East Coast of USA, the timing is odd yet satisfying. The PPV begins at 1pm so you can have a nice lunch party or whatever, and then when it is over, you still have plenty of time left to enjoy on your Saturday. I love these events, lol. As long as they keep the entertaining matchups, I'll keep buying them.
Thanks for the show guys. Some inspirational dedicated dudes makes for great entertainment. Props to John for trying to climb the mountain, but there was no ascending Mount Larratt. Warm fuzzies to see two GOATS pulling but King Devon’s reign is far from over. Cheers to the other champs as well!
two of the best technically for sure the start is everything for these guys. makes a huge diff in the outcome they exploit weaknesses perfectly
Problem is I lost the taste of watching these matches because I know there’s Levan from another planet who is on another level!
Ah but that's the thing. There's plenty of great competition from 2 down. Ron Bath vs Zarub recently is a great example. Levan's matches are almost boring because he's so much stronger than everybody else and it's not close. Devon, not surprisingly, getting crushed just makes me look forward to what he does next.
I'd love to see the actual numbers in regards to how many pounds of pressure Devon is applying when he's LOCKED in the center of the table in his NOT GONNA BUDGE position🤯💪
INSANE
There's so much damn power right there. Those two could flatten pennies lol
that NOT GONNA BUDGE position didn't work on Levan lol....well if you won't budge, I'll just rip your bicep off lol
A match of two legends, where you just can’t take sides.
sure you can, you choose the one who was definitely gonna win from Round 0.

Me: Look mom! What is that thing doing?!
Mom: Don't worry about that thing, it's only crying all of its salty tears out.
Where larrat few years ago 😂
@@Vodka970 Say you don't know anything about armwrestling without saying it. You a clown
I love the drama and stoicism all wrapped up into this beautiful monster
A year later and Devon was on the other side of this experience. What a crazy sport.
I just can't comprehend the amount of pressure and force these guys put on each other.. incredible
Who knows, Probably in the strong men level. They are really pulling each other to the max. Look at John and Devons Cardio explode 😳.
These two...well that's the sport right there. BTW, it is fun to watch the little mind tricks, and the importance of the setup, the small details that will eventually lead to a defeat or victory. It's not just who's stronger. They can get in the heads of the competitors and adds to the sport IMO.
The beginning announcer "JOHN THE PERFECT STORM BRRRLLGGGHH"
I still got goosebumps watching this🔥
Absolutely amazing seeing all of you together.
My heart hurt as bad for John as it did when I saw my Daddy cry. Brzenk will always be the GOAT
Me to 💔
Exactly
You guys keep saying that after every loss of John. How many times does he need to get destroyed to stop being goat for you?
@@nvmffs u think John is not goat ?
He has more titles under his belt than any other arm wrestler
@@nvmffs JOHN IS LIKE MIKE TYSON, BEST EVER !
devon the strength vampire .. nothin left in that arm for john. Great two gents.
Devon really is the king of gaining advantage in the setup… his arm is so much taller, sets his elbow back for a second to appease the ref, and slowly works it in so by the time the match starts he has all the height and leverage. Has to be frustrating for his opponents.
Exactly!!!
He gets fouled, the opponents do the same things at times, everyone there competing wants to win at any cost and it’s the refs job to enforce the rules just like any sport
That intro was great! What a match! Great sportsmanship and performances. Thank you for putting on this epic event Core Sports!
Dude where did you saw great sportsmanship? At the start they were complaining like kids so disgusting
@mrkind xxx thats called a fight bud. They were competing to win. Afterwards they showed respect though and thats called sportsmanship.
Thank u Larry. John Is incredible. Devon is on another level now. 💪💪💪
No he ain't. He had to cheat in the setup and use the bitch move with his whole body under the table in order to win the first round. Pathetic
@@michaeltrumph121 bla bla bla haters excuses
@@michaeltrumph121 🥱 john cant do shit for 5 rounds though
@@michaeltrumph121 wait. You actually believe any of that?
Both men were trying to get an advantage in the setup. And Devon never dropped below the table.
@@michaeltrumph121 So your life has become posting hate comments about Devon in every arm wrestling video? that's what i'll call pathetic tbh. I've seen you in every fucking comment and video the last few days, you're fucking crazy dude, like yeah an arm wrestler that you like lost, is it THAT important for you? holy shit move on man, wtf is wrong with you.
That 2nd round was like villian arc
I NEVER thought I would watch a whole armwresteling match. I dont even watch any sports aside from bodybuilding but the tention in the first round and the shittalk was epic. What characters. Iv seen them both on larrys chan many times nice to see a match. Allways been a bit scared to armwrestle I allways imangine hurting the elbow or showlder . Thnx
2 LEGENDS.. enough said, Thank you for the endless entertainment.
Just like the commentator said..."We're ALL John Brzenk Fans". So True.
*Michael todd
i'm italian and of course i love Ermes!! but John and Devon are 2 really legends!!!!!! i love them too.
Todd breathing in my ear put me off in the sick intro into the match😂😂.
Larry your a gem to the arm wrestling world thanks for all your hard work and sacrifice and great material
Absolutely awesome. Two greatest arm wrestlers of all times, thrilling us, with respect and admiration for each other.
There is a fact that John in this match wasn't really competing in 2nd and 3rd round because the ways he lose were really unusual ways this is what I observed but he infact is a legend 🔥
Look at the muscles twitching and shaking all the ligements are like let's go all ready lol
Usually I’m laughing when i watch Devon plow through his opponents but i could see Towards the end of it the respect he has for John was holding him back. What an amazing event. The sportsmanship was unreal. Thanks for posting this Larry your helping the sport alot.
He was disrepectfull to him but never was John ....
@@guillaumelecam6257 No he wasn't. There's a difference between match mind ganes & straight out disrespect
@@Andrey_Pushbike Just watch their matches from twenty years ago. Larratt wasn’t doing any of that WWE nonsense. He was struggling and just trying to keep up. He’s great no doubt, but just shut up and perform. Brezenk just looks at the table and goes about business.
