He's dead

@@wileecoyote5749 what no he isn't? He's still well and alive

@@BaldHappyMan funny detail is that his surname translates somewhat like "warriors leader", ancient russian name for general, but rather meaning the one leading in fight. Man even looks like his whole bloodline is made of legends)

@@user-sc9ud8wh3t lmao true! He looks like someone who would lead an army

John is the hero every arm wrestler look upto as an idol , So beating him is a very special accomplishment thats why Voevoda got so emotional .

@@KFahadNazeer really out of shape Brzenk lol why say prime

@@nicolbolas8758 because he was in his prime, simple. Breznek was not invincible. Best in history, maybe but not unbeatble

​@ptrgr72 lookup his record in 2004 and 2005..far from his best years and he was considering retirement in 2004..nowhere near his best shape..but beating John still means a lot

dont think so. He even lost to bagent prior to this championship. We know him just because he beated Brzenk once. Who was a middleweight at the time.

@@mence5992 and on top of that, he beat John minutes after John had a crazy match with a top level top roller, while pulling from a bad position, and damaging his elbow. Voevoda's match before that was like a 7 second pin of Travis Bagent. Both guys pulling fresh? Not sure it would have gone that way...

120 kg vs 90 Kg..

John fans whining really hard in the comments here, when he's winning against big fat dudes who don't know how to armwrestle he's a giant slayer and when he faced an elite superheavyweight he has weight disadvantage, get outta here man, john got humbled

​​@@mence5992um he flashed bagent in 2004. Bagents win in 2003 was a fluke, voevoda underestimated him and his fast hit.

What are you talking about, what purity do you dream of? He was full of roids, he was caught cheating and got banned for a period. Shall I remind you about his match with Tim Bresnan?

@@ilarionispas5104 Hope to hear more about what you know about him

@@ilarionispas5104he almost eliminate every strongest opponent in his prime. He even beat his ideal john berznk , so why would he continue arm wrestling?? after leaving arm wrestling he won gold medal on Olympics for his country . He also lost a lot of weight for this purpose . He tried to come back in arm wrestling but wasn't strong enough as we all saw him against tim . And now he is a very good politician in his country and on a great post. . And some brothers like you are still be like, he was on roids. 🤦🤦

@@ayazhussain3966 hey man. He may have been strong in his prime, he may have dominated, but he was on roids and he got banned permanently. Facts are facts: On 24 November 2017, he was stripped of the 2014 Olympic medals by the International Olympic Committee, following the doping violation of his bobsledding partner Aleksandr Zubkov. On 18 December 2017, Voyevoda received a personal lifetime ban from the Olympic Games due to doping violations at the 2014 Winter Olympics. As for politics: following the September 2016 elections in Russia, Voyevoda became a state deputy from Krasnodar Krai, representing the ruling party, United Russia, supporting Putin's party. Fun fact - Voevoda is Ukrainian-born So yeah, GG young Voevoda for his performance, but the man was not clean.

@@ilarionispas5104 brother according to Wikipedia:In 2017, Voyevoda was stripped of his 2014 Olympic medals, following the doping violation of his bobsledding partner Aleksandr Zubkov. On 18 December 2017, Voyevoda received a personal lifetime ban from the Olympic Games due to doping violations at the 2014 Winter Olympics. And the guy who was banned from arm wrestling because of roids and drugs was arsen lilive who beat denis ones in a tournament . Not alexey ☺️

john was absolutely not in his prime..

@@stianet2 he was good enough to reach the finals he was 40 years old nearly at his age larratt was world's number 1 at 38 years old in 2013 and i remind you john walked through everybody but taras ivakin he struggled there but other than him he defeated everybody with ease. But veovoda that yead was a tank he smashed everybody even if brzenk wasn't tired from taras veovoda took his hand easily.

You forgot to add that everyone else from the east laid down to Alexey so he could stay fresh.

@@HyakuJuu01300 regardless he would smoke them either way look his matches with taras he always beats him in 1 second same as semerenko he beats them fast with not much effort even if they lay down or not same result.

And look at Tim Bresnan beating Alexey like he's nothing. Point is, you can't correctly judge someone's level only by 1 pull. Context greatly matters.

Levan 6:0 effortlessly

Levan would wreck him.

Levan would break his arm.

Levan 6:0 easily

6-0, Like Larrat 99%

Did you ever heard of Devon Larrat?

@@daptica pozdrav. Voevoda je pobjedio Brzenka kad Devon nije mogo da mu prismrdi. Drugo, Devon Laret nema to pokrice u snazi.. on je po.meni trenutno top 5-10... i da Voevoda mi ima vecu harizmu od njega. Da su ameri imali voevodu, druga bi prica bila..

@@fortitude1208 kak znas da sam nas? Osim tog niko nije doprinio sportu kao sto je Devon Larrat to ce ti svi potvrditi, covjek je ovaj sport digo na next level.

@@daptica slazem se da je on doprinjeo najvise i Brzenk.. al meni je Voevoda harizmaticniji lik. Ne znamo sta bi bilo da je Voevoda bio amer i da je imao duzu karijeru, ne znamo koliko bi on tad dopinjeo. Devon je showman a Voevoda je jednostavno bio prejak i tom svojom pojavom je zracio... Pise ti ime bracki 😀

@@fortitude1208 Meni je Voevoda omiljenu armrestler, prava je masina.

John brzenk said he believes he was at his strongest when he pulled Dennis around 2012 -2013

@@caseybeavers9788 he pulled denis 2008-2010

@@deutzfahrmadman on his interview on Alex's channel he said he thinks he was at his strongest when he pulled Dennis but his prime around 2012-2013, I guess he could be saying he thinks he was a better package in 2012-2013 but stronger during Dennis fight, stronger doesn't necessarily mean better in arm wrestling.

Lost motivation what you mean he Just came back 20 years later hes still in his prime

@@caseybeavers9788 I think you misheard him. 2012-2013 he was still trying to progress after his shoulder surgery

measuring 196 cm tall it gets even more difficult, long arms make it even more complicated.

@@heron3501 he's shorter than that but still equally impressive

@@rokanza2293 I found his height on some websites. some said 196, like the olympic committee website, others 193, like the espn website

@@heron3501 He's 194-195 so its kinda in the middle...a lot of sites are not accurate with height and weight measures

Voevoda biggest weight was in 2007 near 130kg. In 2004 he is 124-126.

He had a duty to his country, Mother Russia. He had to join the Bob Sledding team to win a gold medal and jump on their National steroid program.

@@DivineAtheistWannabe 😅😅😅

Left arm...

@@martinf9277 if i remember correctly Travis beat him right arm too. That was a huge upset for me. I'm a huge fan of voevoda

@@nirbars Travis beat Voevoda in 2003, but Voevoda come stronger in 2004 and smash Travis and beat Brzenk 😉

@@martinf9277 i know brother, Travis went to the stage and shout :" king Kong ain't got nothing on me!!" And then voevoda smashed him

@@nirbars In my opinion, Voevoda had a stronger right hand than Denis. Cyplenko vs Brzenk in 2008-10. Denis lost 2008-9, won 2010, but in 2010 Brzenk was no longer prime, as in 2004 against Voevod. And now in 2022, Brzenk is still strong enough to beat even Zurab. So in my opinion Voevoda 2004 would be a good match for Levan prime 2022... stronger right than Denis, but Denis is left king

Thats hilarious

go back to games kid.

you are probably 12

You don't know shit about the sport lol

Thats why you have to quit drinking

Lmao

dominated everyone = lost to Tim Bresnan I guess.

Devon will beat that version of Alexi vorvoda just like he beat pushkar . Levan is different breed don't compare him to voevoda

@@mayanksharma7952 Devon beating prime Voevoda? HAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL

He would not have beaten Levan, the end.

@@mayanksharma7952 even prime john can't even win you joking st*pid?

Stop your delusional thoughts. Wet dreams. Denis and Levan are MUCH STRONGER THAN ANYONE. Voevoda won Denis in training sessions at the beginning, but than he had been having only losses.

And John won his match after being in the losing position....crazy. 💪

He was not injured, ask Engin Terzi. The match with Taras was after Alexey beat John.😎

There are several videos showing John was injured or at a minimum not 100% lol.

@@ratri7777 John was not fully prepared in 2004 you can understand this from pulling john movie but he was not injured in the match with Alexey. Also in 2007 Voevoda and John did afterpull and Voevoda didn’t feel him at all.Larrat said that and John said that also in a video.”Voevoda started lifting me off the floor”.2007 John was fully prepared and motivated also.

​@@ratri7777 I don't think he was. But what happened was the Eastern European guys laid down and let Voevoda pin them quickly so Voevoda could be as fresh as possible to beat John from what I heard

He would lose. Levan is the first of his kind, no one before had so much power, and have a recorded proof of it. Accept this fact !

@@alexandruiulian8526 alexy can curl 300 pounds as well

Voevoda never faced Denis in his prime

@@eduard6450 because voevoda trained denis he supported him

@@priyanlal666 Rammstein

@@TimmyTurner421 engel right? German

@@priyanlal666 yes

I agree partially. John would have lost again in this format if you rewinded the encounter without the injury to this very moment again. In a super match format with a fresh John who has time to adjust? Sorry Alex.

Ok merican

True😅

Yes, what Laratt did against Todd was never done before. The context is that it was never done to the King's move Todd. Voevoda beat Todd before King's move was his big thing.

@@arhael3594 when Devon beat Michael, he was already having problems with his pronator due to nerve damage. So, I guess we can only guess.

​@@diehardparamveer Yes, it could be a factor. The point was that perceived achievement of Laratt was beating the Todd that mastered King's move. With same success I could bring up Kvikvinia and few others that beat Levan and rant how they are the only ones that slayed the monster. It would be pointless.

Lamentable la realidad es que fue expulsado y baneado porque lo cachsron con sustancias ilegales

let's not forget Brzenk is significantly smaller than the others. Pound-for-pound I believe Brzenk is the strongest

Are you saying Larratt doesn't abuse PEDs? He's the pancake king and gained massive weight for his last fights with John, Michael and Levan. He even admits to using the juice.

@@SuperSneakySteve yes. Larratt didn’t abuse ped’s until recently. He was majorly clean until he had to fight the bigs but PEDs can only do so much against them.

Devon never faced Voevoda as per my knowledge .

@@KFahadNazeer Brzenk

As pro armwrestlers say no one can beat him past or present bye

@@pabeng1198 beat him you referring for le va or voevoda
