John Brzenk is an absolute living legend. Sure he's lost matches, but the man has cemented his status dominating the sport for over 20+ years beating guys who are much bigger and stronger than he was. No arm wrestler could match his legacy. John is simply the GOAT. Even now at his age John is still a beast. 💪
That ref wasn't incompetent, these guys weren't cooperative. There's a reason why John Brzenk is the GOAT, there was a referee seting them up. Otherwise it's just a bar sport. Respect the referee at ALL TIME. He's the one making this sport legit.
@@Dylan-pt1iv You clearly don't understand what makes a GOAT. Many others have beaten John Brzenk but NOBODY has ever come close to matching what he has accomplished in the sport of arm wrestling.
@@Dylan-pt1iv Devon Larratt beat John in his prime, then John beat him in 2015 at age 50. It happens. Beating the GOAT doesn't make you the GOAT. I repeat, nobody has ever come close to John's accomplishments in the sport of arm wrestling. Also, John is a little man compared to these giants yet he's still beating them. Another reason that makes him the GOAT.
@@Dylan-pt1iv He easily beat Cyplenkov the same year he lost to Devon, plus he's much smaller which already gives an advantage to his opponents. If he was past his prime then, how come he beat Devon 7 years later at age 50? I repeat, for the third time, nobody has ever come close to John's accomplishments in the sport of arm wrestling. There are many things that need to be considered to determine who the GOAT is and your ONE and ONLY argument is that Alexey beat John? That's it? Lol, you will never win the GOAT debate with that argument.
@@Dylan-pt1iv Oh by the way, Ron Bath beat John the same year Alexey beat John, but you probably didn't know that. I guess that makes Ron Bath the GOAT, too. Lol
Peak Brzenk was nonsense but the song in the background "to the left, to the left, to the right, to the right" while they're dead focused adjusting the pre-fight grip is too much xD
Don’t know that John ever got beat my Marcio?? I’ve seen a couple of times where Marcio gave John a hard run but in there 2015 WAL match John pulled through Marcio even easier then here..
He beat him in the 2007 Mohegan Sun Tournament. However, John cut to 198 for that event and pulled 2 classes. Marcio was still super impressive there, though.
@@Arya-df7gq I don't think he has a chance of winning, but it's Brzenk... he has a good chance of finishing in the top 4 I think. Hard to count him out!
You casuals see Marcio lose against Brzenk and Larratt and now you think he's a bad puller. Marcio is a fantastic armwrestler and he's won far more matches than he lost. His win against Krasimir was very impressive. He also won the last Arnold Classic tournament, didn't break a sweat.
This is the first time I'm seeing barboza with peroxide hair. Its like a Brazilian ginger
😂😂😂
From this perspective you can really get a picture of how much torque these guys have. Scary.
First time i saw an angry John :) 02:27
Yea man
Yea it’s rare.
That's a National Treasure
That ref never worked again
That ref wet himself then changed his identity, went under witness protection and fled the country
That transition to a press was gold!!
Barbosa had 0 chances in every moment, Brzenk in his prime was something else.
Well, the setup was long, but not really the match ...
Don't piss off brzenk, he goes into beast mode.
And he's going to teach the ref how to do his own job, loved it
That 90s vibe :)
Damn barboza looking like a early 20's eminem back then

What about Gary Goodridge if he focused on armwrestling?
John looks so strong and big here
The Prime Brzenk
His wrists are certainly thicc
2000-2001 John I think this is the Harley pull tournament
Guy with the glasses is super smart 👌
what year is this ?
probably late '90s
Philip you are a future legend!
@@adancolenzio2253 agreed
Looks like a Harley pull, Ohio, 2001 maybe
I believe 2000 Harley's pull Mike bowling tournament
Woahh 02:27
John brzenk my idol

John brzenk is my favorite arm wrestler I think my dad did pull John I’m not sure tho he said something about it
Your dad gay
What year was this video shot?
Always like 👍 👍
Perfect angle to see John curling a bit in the early setups. Amazing that John never trains with weights and can still beat all the gym freaks.
he has to do some type of arm training, he means he just doesn't lift heavy or as often as most people.
Brzenk looks like Paul Gascoigne during the 90s 😂
What is John upset at at 2:30?
im just gonna guess, 2004 or 5 ?
This JB is so badass
Marcio Mathers
Anyone know what year this was?
99 I think.
Aaayyyyyy blonde marcio barboza ?!?!?! XDDD
You smart john!
Sekarang udah lansia tenaganya senakain berkurang
Like cho chú 👍
Marcio barboza was a monster in 2014
His strongest shape ever
Yeaahhhhh, don’t irritate John. It doesn’t end well.
John Brzenk is the GOAT.

Nerd Brzenk > Levan
If it was not for that strap I would had felt bad for that ref 😂
I wouldn't say this is a long match. More so a long set up lol

Back in the days were Americans are not yet obese..
İsn't that Todd behind the table? 😂
under
Long..... setup
Бесят люди, которые не могут бороться честно.
Смысле
John Prime ?
No, John prime was in 2006.
03:15 elbow slip? 🧐 🤔
At 03:18 or so
Nah, his elbow still touching, he just moved his arm towards his right and then back.
John Brzenk : Skin - Nerd Strongman.

Beat him 2-3 times that i can recall...once on Letterman Lol
Devon larratt was the referee..
That ref was totally incompetent, I'd be mad too.
This John would easily beat the John of 2019, and he knows it, and is smart to retire...
Isn't John going to be in the next Top 8? Pretty sure he's not retiring...
@@joshuawaddell6640 yep buddy what do you think about his chances at top 8
@@Arya-df7gq I don't think he has a chance of winning, but it's Brzenk... he has a good chance of finishing in the top 4 I think. Hard to count him out!
He trying to rehab his injury but If he pulls in his own way he might do pretty well
Imagine if he beat levan, would further his giant killer legacy.
Hồi đỉnh cao phong độ john Brzenk bất bại
Jesus foul Marcio already.
As usual Marcio lost again.
The ratio in every video where he lost is staggering 95%
That's all I see from marcio.

Skip to 3:03... you're welcome
Barbosa never wins. Lol
