This is making Janis ANGRY 

What do you think about a rule for E vs W that gives a foul to competitors that scream at referees, or try to intimidate/bully the refs to influence the officiating. Maybe you can suggest to Engin to make the rule because the refs should not be disrupted or intimidated by the pullers. "JUST SAY GO" "KEEP IS ELBOW DOWN" ...why should devon or any puller be allowed to give orders or commands to pressure the referee. I believe its one of devons tactics to gain advantage before go in the set up. He even uses his wife and even child to yell commands to manipulate the refs. If devon wins let be a fairly won contest. I really dislike watching devon climbing, carving, false starting, etc before go especially when he probably would already have a really good chance to win in a fair grip. and devon pulling after "stop" is also shameful, the guy has no honor

yup…. all arm wrestlers are living in the house that john built

I disagree that nobody is close. He is the GOAT, But Devon is close and may surpass. Both #1 overall in 3 separate decades. Devon has another 10 years in him. Not even considering his impact on this sport outside of the table, he’s right there.

You guys might hate this and disagree, but look at the resume of Devon he is the only one that has a body of work any where close to John, Devon is not the GOAT but he is at his all time peak right now let’s see what happens in the next 3 years.

John had been dominating for over 40 years in the sport of arm wrestling. That's insanely longer than Devon thus so far. Devon has had his own great achievements, but hasn't been so dominant until more recently, so he has a long way to go to match John's career. It must be said that John also has his own movie and was in a movie with Sylvester Stallone lol. Nonetheless, with his social media presence, Devon has been a huge part in the growth of arm wrestling, far greater than John. We also have Larry and Engin who equally stand on that pedestal with their amazing efforts in promoting the sport. All of them deserve goat status in that regard. There are no losers, only winners here 😁

@@evokaiyo now we will have to see how prolific Devon can be

I actually really enjoyed the audio. Might be a bit different if you use headphones though.

it does sound good! but janis was hard left and coach ray hard right. just speculation, but if you bought two cardioid mics, take a look at ORTF pair vs. XY pair configuration. to me, this sounded more like ORTF (more separation between the left and right channels).

@@Flornmonk headphones will definitely make a difference for perception of stereo separation! this is because with speakers, both ears hear both channels. but with headphones, the left ear hears the left channel, and vice versa.

Tbh didn't notice, sounded pretty natural imo

correction, john managed to dominate up to 5 weight categories at the same time, something that devon never did nor will do because the weight that suits him best is that of a heavyweight

I would say Devon needs 5 years more being top5 shw and title of how possibly lhw to surpass John. You have to remember how the infancy of AW was during John's era

​@@emilianodavid7419What are you even talking about ? He dominates every class. Devon is the best heavyweight armwrestler in the world and now he is potentially the best non-injured super heavyweight armwrestler. So literally n1.

​@@emilianodavid7419At that time the sport was not that hard compared to now...

John was ranked #1 at different times in 1980s, 90, and 2000s. 3 decades. Devon has been ranked #1 in 2000s, 2010s, and now 2023. 3 decades. He’s already there. Not to mention his overall impact on the growth of the sport.

yes

Bruh

Lol. Voevoda came back in 2007. He was offered to pull John, devon but both refused to pull voevoda and that's when michael todd step in kiddo. John and travis did after with voevoda after michael todd match and John said that voevoda was toying with him. He was too much. John said that voevoda was pulling him and lifting him all over the place. Voevoda had no competition after his win and decided to retire just like in the first place. A man ahead of his time.

"He was offered a match but John refused" yeah right. The same way a right hand match with Denis was offered but Devon refused, right? Man, Igor got y'all believing everything he says😂.Let's see that snake pay Levan's(and other atheletes') top8 prize money first. voevoda came back in 2007, beat Michael Todd and ran away. Meanwhile John was winning the zloty in 2007, 2008 and 2009. It's clear as day who ducked who. Get him past Bresnan first then we'll talk.

@@HyakuJuu01300 voevoda was on a vegan diet and was not even close to 2004 shape with bresnan. A peak voevoda slams a peak John brzenk. Deal with it. No version of John would have been able to beat voevoda that day. Voevoda was just a stronger guy at that moment. Cry about it evne tho it has been almost 20 years 😂

Oh no not the vegan diet 😂 Are you Igor's alt account or something?😂 Anyways, Bresnan fathered that fraud and that's a fact😴

@@fastest3712 Bro? What did I tell you?? Alexey Voevoda is a *BALLOON*. He's the biggest fraud the sport of armrestling has ever seen.

you were right

Still can't believe he's 41. Dude turned from being pretty handsome to Orc Overlord after the fall.

Denis is only 5 years older than I am, which is kinda crazy to me. He looks older than my stepfather who's had heart replacement surgery and other stuff (of course he's not insanely buff and strong like Denis, but just in general appearance of age). The same thing goes for Engin who's only a little more than 10 years older than me, but looks like a decrepit old man at 48 years old. All of those substances really messes with you, especially HGH.

He kingsmoved while crapping his pants

*ESPECTACULAR!!* 👏🏻×10³!!!

Don't forget Michael Phelps!

Absolutely Correct!!

Ohh really 🤡

​@@fastest3712That's exactly what Janis and Ray are saying. If you didn't already know that you're an idiot.

Left was never the stronger arm of voevoda

Right also😂

Veovoda lost once right hand to travis you just lied kiddo. And travis lost once to Veovoda on the left as well. And veovoda got revenge on the right hand.

@@altair227 Travis beat voevoda in 2003, but they actually had a supermatch both arms in 2005 and travis won both arms

@@tyr2019 thats a lie travis got whooped in 2004 zluty tour on the right hand and after that they never had a match on the right what BS are you smoking kiddo .

​@@altair227travis beat him 3x overall and his left match wasnt even a challenge it was 6-0😂

Nobody said that. This two are clowns making content for views

Not even close Maybe top 30

@@dodumichalcevski of all time?

Irakli,Ongarbaev,Devon,Zoloev,Petrenko,Zurab are all 100% elite and John did exceptionally well against all of them win or lose

This makes *NO* sense!!

devon cheats out his opponents everytime & avoids everyone until its more convenient for him

@@PabloChmip opinions don’t take away from his greatness lol he wins he wins it doesn’t matter what someone on a RU-vid comment says… He’s about to have 3 world titles in different weight classes

not only does he cheat out his opponents, he sometimes gets a referee to help him 2023 Ermes 2022 Levan 2012 Bresnan 2008 Brzenk

@@vargvikernes5617 get a grip

Devon needs to pull some tournaments first he will not win any😂

6-0 easy alexy

vovoeda is looking massive compard to john

Finally, someone who knows what happened with Alexey! Brzenk is GOAT in his class, but he can't win Cyplenkov, Levan or Voevoda at their best form!

@@mirospajic9929 Wow, a natural sub-200 pound guy competing clean wouldn't beat 300+ pound guys who almost die from steroid abuse before turning 40.

Haahhaah there was no one in his weight class in that year tbh. He was avoiding denis back then😂

@dvr1337 What about Travis? Denis was pretty unknown in 2004 ! Until 2007, Denis had no chance against Voevoda! After 2007, Voevoda wasn't active in arm wrestling! If he stayed, he probably would be on the same level as Denis, Puskhar,...

@@mirospajic9929 dude denis trained with voevoda back then hahaha theres videos of this time. Denis was national champ before voevoda even. Get ur facts before u talk. ru-vid.comQoo56HBkf2s?si=aiM8-qOXavSR0JOH Denis started 1999, he became national champ im 2003 and started training voevoda around 2002 already. Voevoda had absolutely 0 chance back then and never went into any national tournament where denis was in:)

and get back both hammers for number 1 left and right in the world

Nice dreams he will never beat Levan also he is beneath brzenk not to mention devon is a steroid head himself and denis is already above him in terms of stats and achievments. Hope devon get beats like when genadi kicked his ass again in november. Dodging Vitali is not goat material 😂😂

If Devon can beat those europeans in this time He becomes the goat

​@@altair227 Omg how delusional are you John used Steroides his entire life. Devon will destroy Denis easy. Devon was about to kill Genadi but his started PLAYING with Genadi thats why he lost

You are one weird person.@@altair227

John had way more tournaments and competition back then. Devon has 0 zloty wins 0 world tournament wins he doesnt do shit besides super matches😂
