  • молотчик!

    

  • what a load of crap!

  • arsen is not from turkey he is russian but not really strong

  • He starts pulling every time at, "ready" rather than go. What a disrespectful cheater.

  • russia=steroids to win anything

  • strap + roids + elbow fouls

  • Liliev fucking CHEATER, he starts before ready :D :@:@:@

  • The Russians are all juiced up. Thats why i respect John, Bagent and Larratt. Atleast they go out there clean.

  • why is the red guy throwing so much body weight into it? isn't this cheating?

  • @ImperialArmour

    Nope. It's just annoying. As long as your elbow doesn't come off, you can climb on the little table if you wish. It's just not pleasing to watch if you want to see brute strength.

  • @ImperialArmour This is my no means cheating - As I have said to others here, it is a common trait among arm wrestlers. Much explanation could go into the details of this technique, but I think you would be better satisfied with investigating and learning about the sport first on your own in order to truly understand the many different ways in wrestling, with all their advantages and disadvantages. To the untrained eye this sport can be hard to fully understand.

  • cheater

  • stupid russsian learn to play

  • This Russian starts fast. That's ok, but is he also into cave exploration? He sinks his body down so damn low. Where would he be without that?

  • @skirts365 It's a very common aspect of arm wrestling. I strongly suggest you investigate the sport to see the many different styles and techniques inherent in this, at least to me, most beautiful of sports.

  • @bbkingzor How about a technique of, the advantage taker has some horrifically foul breath, and he puffs it to the nostrils of the opponent, who is stronger, but suddenly gets pinned due to the foul exhaust. A curl can be done with back against a tree to guarantee absence of swing, or it can be done with lots of back movement. We all know which is the better test of strength.

  • @skirts365 This is a common misapprehension about arm wrestling - it is NOT a test of strength as much as it is a test of technique. Obviously, strength in its pure form is paramount in this sport, as in any other. But it is the ability to apply the right muscles, finding a good posture, using your advantages and many other things that factor into the equation. If you want "pure strength" competition, go see some strongmen lifting truck tires or Youtube people benching 600 lbs instead.

  • Liliev had an earlier start on every round, he moves his body on "ready" not on the "go" and thats not allowed... in the first round Liliev made an elbow foul and Engin (Referee) don't get it. Besides that, every time that Liliev starts to lose his comfortable position he made a elbow foul. That isn't fair. Thats not just an elbow foul but getting away of the game, so he should loose every fight that he did it something like that (explosive guys always use the elbow foul to reestart the match).

  • John plays with class. The other guy fouls,constantly. John my have lost but he's pure class and doesn't fight like a slob.

  • @KCJacksonMuz It's not entirely fair this critique of Arsen you portray. He does foul, indeed, but this does not make him a bad wrestler. John is unquestionably the greatest fight of all time, but Arsen deserves credit for doing well against the former King of arm wrestling. At no point did Arsen display unsavory sportsmanship, nor anything but respect for a man who Arsen surely sees as his greatest idol. The truth is, John is having a harder time than in the past against these strongmen of late

  • John Brzenk arm wrestles like a man

  • 2 words for you guys : Alexey Voyevoda

  • @xDailiNex ohh. that guy who was ranked number 1 for a year in 2004. i remember him haha.

  • @boobyetube just to let you know John Bryzenk is way past his prime. He is 47 now and he started arm wrestling professionally when he was 18 and he won his first world title at that age as well. Look him up on google. He also has a website, pullingjohndotcom there is a documentary about him as well. I watched it on netflix. Good day to u sir :)

  • i don't see how that's legal? the russian isn't using no arm strength, he's pulling with his legs and body by using the pegs of the table. Brzenk was clearly the better even though the victory went to the russian, he didn't show me shit in pure arm strength

  • he start and say go .fuck stupid guys

  • that stupid russian guy is cheating he's puting all his weight on johns arm!

  • @jasonkim3121 haha ur the stupid one cuz u dont know jack shit about arm wrestling

  • Liliev almost lying on the floor, it's not fair.

  • @RafalMPoland its fair, it is a common tactic in professional arm wrestling, elbow fouling is not however

  • This Russian dude is BULLSHIT...

    Its called ARM WRESTLING...

    NOT FALL DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND DRAG THE OTHER PERSON WITH YOU!!!

    I DONT CARE IF ITS ALLOWED IN THE RULE BOOK...

    I CALL "PUSSY & BULLSHIT" ON THIS ONE...

  • @CastingStonez

    john has done this tactic with several opponents and using the same style that arsen is doing in this video now john is pussy and bullshit? no but this thing allow you to not brake your arm when u drag your body to not bend your elbow to the other side and well brake it in the end so yes this thing is legit and not pussy or anything

  • the first pin was a false start - look at the ref's face...its only because john acknowledged the pin that it wasn't called a false start. it should have gone 3-2 John....

  • :04 I love the look on Engin face. lol Holy shit he actually beat you!

  • i dont agree with the third match. i dont see johns hand down.

  • "THE HAMMER" Arsen liliev!

  • lol, rush opponent then hang entire bodyweight on their arm. What a scummy style, legal or not.

  • The Russian spends more time beneath the table than above it.

  • Arsen is absolutely stronger than this fucking motherfucker.

  • dude needs to use his entire body lol

  • John was the best ever. He didn't sit around and wait for challengers, he too the fight to them....anyone anywhere. I would like to see Devon do the same.

  • roids, elbow fouls. come on

  • umpire is so stupid that john is telling them about elbow foul at 1:36

  • one of the biggest fouler ever

    LiLiev

    why cant umpires see it?

    answer is because he does it very quickly

  • And before all you weak losers start slamming me just know that I don't use steroids but not because I dislike them. And I realize that I used two different weights in my example but it was to get the point across. ANYBODY who speaks ill of steroids is either incredibly weak or dumb. How can you not appreciate the potential strength steroids unlock...

  • Why do people act as if using steroids makes working out any less difficult, or that using them is some how cheating? So if you took a guy who weighed 160 and a guy that weighed 240 and gave them both 6 months gym time, they should be able to lift they the same amount of weight right. Some guys are naturally stronger than others, so they must be cheating right??? I despise jealous, weak, nobodies who bitch about being weak.

  • The pussy in red was putting his feet against the legs of the table on Johns side is that legal ?? thats right i called him a pussy !!!

  • @MrKromley

    Name calling wouldn't stop him from slamming your bitch ass down. Thats right i said bitch ass!!!

  • @Jsmash88808 ROFL is that the best you got your a sad sad little man how pathetic.

  • @MrKromley Yes, it is legal. Roman Tsindeliani uses a similar technique.

  • the slowmo of the first match showed a clear false start by liliev, and there are 2 more clear false starts from liliev, combined with massive elbow fouls, this was a clear clear win for brzenk...

  • @devidia - have to agree..... the match starts with john's arm 3 inches from the pad..... , the judges are blind on a few clear elbow fouls, and I thought ur feet need to stay on the ground? u cant hang in mid-air

  • @steven288 At least one foot must be on the ground at all times.

  • the slowmo of the first match showed a clear false start

  • There isn't a single world class Russian arm wrestler barring a rare exception like Ivakin who doesn't look like they are full of fucking steroids.... AND AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IS CYPLENKOV, ROID SHAKES FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER.

  • Comment removed

  • Dirty fighter Arsen Liliev - Only round fair was seond round - where he Brzenk pins him to the pad clearly - and from that point on Liliev just elbow fouls, fast starts and tires John's arm!

  • @Spandex08 indeed... i can't see why referees are so retarded to not spot the false starts and elbow fouls

  • 4-2 for arsen , not 3-2

  • @VisionSergiu21 No Brzenk actually won because Arsen fouled out, they agreed to pull again so that it didn't end on fouls and Arsen won 3-2

  • @awgqerw Worse for brzenk and I apologize for correcting wrong, but I did not know who the situation ... :)

  • it would been a diferent story if arsen wasnt on roids

  • @Spinebreaker666 so what. what makes you think Brzenk isn't?

  • john is stronger but only in the wrist/forearm arsen is stronger overall. a 2005 john brzenk would be a different story.

  • false starts out the ass -.-////

  • lilev is strong as fuck.....riods might play a part though.......still to be able to curl as much as he does is unreal......

  • @Georgian909 I filmed this material and I have been very clear with the fact that I had a problem with my camera which made the audio and video unsynched. It was NOT false starts in all 6 rounds! You can see the proof of that in the clips on World of Armwrestling. / Charlie

  • lilev is one bad mothafucka!!!

  • Arsen may have the strongest hand and rotation in all of armwrestling!

  • @blueviper42 He could'nt top roll Cyplenkov.

  • It is difficult to say that John is clearly stronger. After watching this many times I think Arsen is fast and strong as a bull and you can not take his wrist. JOhn needed ht utmost of himself to beat Arsen, and yes he is getting older; anyway he is smart, he can fight in such varied ways, he is the icon of this sport.

  • FUCKING FULL OF ROIDS ELBOW FOULER

  • you should give lilev a rest ... lol one way or another not many ppl in world can defeat John...

  • Лилиев чисто на старте берёт соперника,не проиграеш ему старт не проиграеш раунд.

  • bullshit vendetta!

  • John's the man!

  • Brzenk looks stronger but he is obviously older and Liliev has more stamina to keep up 6 matches, drugs? maybe both

  • liliev constantly jumpstarts

  • Liliev - champion in elbow cheating

  • I don't know why someone hasn't come up with an improved arm wrestling table, example- have the elbow pads cupped around the edges to keep the elbows from sliding off, or at least to minimize the elbow from sliding around and make the elbow padding cover have a grit-gripping effect , and finally ...MAKE ALL 4 LEGS of the table anchor-able to the floor, I understand why some venues don't won't bolts being drilled into the floor, but the table could be weighted down somehow.

  • @undergroundbasement because these are professionals

  • @undergroundbasement Virtually every arm wrestler will need to use some kind of dragging technique in a match some time in their life. Having a gripping-type elbow pad would cause some issues. Everything else sounds good.

  • @undergroundbasement put the whole body into it huh? love it! it will reinvent the game for armwrestling and make them train not only for upper body but the whole body must be just as conditioned as the wrist and arm!!

  • Arsen Liliev just throws himself backwards. John uses his raw strength. I friggen hate guys that pull like Liliev it's retarded. 2:50... what a fucking queer.

  • Liliev would have no chance against Larrat

  • @Feon2 I dont think so, due to different styles Arsen, in my opinion could, perhaps flash Larratt.

  • i also think john is all round better armwrestler, but you can't deny arsen's power.he was a little more prepared then brzenk. respect for both of them

  • Nonsens powinni się siłować na siedząco oczywiście nie odrywając tyłka od krzesła.

    co to za walka na rękę skoro się siłuje całym ciałem ? totalny nonsens.

  • if your asking ho is better from this 2 guys...just ask yourself...will aresn maintain a 20..or 25(not know for sure)years of dominating 1rst position...like john did...ask yourself that..and you will get the answer XD

  • arsen is the sloppiest fouling joke ive ever seen. this wasnt even fair, period.

  • arsent can only win if he falls starts and gets that top roll..hes is a really good top roller but in a hook against John its not even match u can clearly see match 4 where if was hook and john had control he just took him down in 2 sec

  • Why this two assholes didn't see Arsen's fail starts!..not even one match wasn't start right.Arsen VS Brzenk really needs a remach.Respect from Roumania 4 all armwrestlers!

  • Voevoda is the real deal for right arm men, believe it or not!!!!!

  • liliev cyplenkov voevoda is the same man : steroid

  • hahaha... Arsen was hanging off of John's arm! thats embarassing. 

  • Americans are such sore losers.

    LOSERS.

  • @Savta1234 yeah cus we beat ur foreign asses at everything else

  • Arsen is awesome, but Brzenk is still the man!

  • @aldm1967 John Brzenk is a LEGEND without any doubt!!!

  • arsen is all about flash power, strengh on strengh brzenk is stronger

  • OMG.. those referees are such fools.. look 0:04..

    John is the best!!

  • Arsen get a fail start ;d

  • John is so kind so when Arsen almost started before the "ready" and beat him. He juust noded his head. Fuck that.

  • Bullshit. I can't understand why the fucking referee did not stop every match. Because every time when he said ready. John's arm just a few inches above the pad!

  • omg,how john managed to hold arsen arm while in that positon..STRONG.2.20

  • Comment removed

  • 3:15 liliev using his foot!? WTF! how can that be allowed? liliev and the referees are fuckin retarded!

  • @TerroRambo he is allowed to do that

  • In 0:04 Engin was like "Wtf?" He was Shoked.. xD

  • Arsen's a very one dimensional puller. If he can't flash his opponent then he will lose against the rest of the top guys.

    In the 2nd round for example, John catches his hit and within 15 seconds has him to the pad. Even Taras held John's power for longer than that.

  • 1. round Arsen moved before the "go"

    Judges aren't that good.

  • @KvollerKvoller

    Not before the "go". It started before the "ready"! What a fucking ugly referee.

  • what sup guys are you guys ready for NEMIROFF 2010!!!!

  • when im sad after watching this video, i go to watch how Cyplenkov killed Arsen ;)

  • @peeekar dont worry..john is havent in his top form yet..think that john's right hand can easily pull down cyplenkov,while cyplenkov can easily pull down arsen..these are the true results..let see who is who on the table in november =) john rules right,cyplenkov rules left..

  • @BugattianVeyronian

    yea, I cant wait to see it :D

    What is with Bagent and Larrat? Will they appear there?

  • @peeekar not sure,but i personally think bagent will,dont know with larratt..i cant wait to see who will be the champion for left arm,because i am a left handed too:D besides cyplenkov havent pull with bagent yet,they both were considered as the best lefty in the world..i hope in right arm will be brzenk vs larratt vs voevoda..hope voevoda will return to arm wrestling..

  • @BugattianVeyronian

    I also wanna view bagent vs cyplenkov at left - that would be for sure match of all time! :D

    If Voevoda come again, i wanna se him pulling vs Larrat :D

  • @peeekar ya..all of them havent pulling each other before..cyplenkov will win because bagent is too selfish..haha..voevoda vs larratt,i think if voevoda is absolutely in his top form,he will be pretty strong..

  • matt damon

  • @XowntXihqX lol

  • legend vs steroids

  • STEROIDS VS STEROIDS !

  • @amedovski FUCK YOU!

  • bambino di merda se ti prendo ti inculo a sangue hai capito ... ?

  • @amedovski

    Fuckin' retard don't you insult the legend

  • brzenk and veovoda are my heroes but they aren't natural , e fottiti tu testa di cazzo merda succhia cazzi , 

  • didnt see john going to the hook, looked like he was trying to out top roll a top roll specialist....

  • It was a good match but i got to say that the REFEREES in this match SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WHAT DO U GUYS THINK!!????

  • congrats liliev, if only you knew john was trying to beat you in a hook for a laugh, lol. dont take it so seriously son, hes gonna kill u next time

  • John: humble, honorable and strong man, the best legendary armwrestler of all time, the giant killer!

    Arsen: pathetic little roided-up sneaky cheater who steals Coca-Cola from little children.

  • brzenk superstar! better by far . arsen is faster but brzenk is better !!

  • Start issues aside Arsen is quite a phenomenal puller and a powerhouse. To beat John here he had to win John's rotator first with his speed, wrist and backpressure and that is something alone. But then he had to beat also John's bicep lock to pin him and that is something else. I think John knows exactly what to do next time and then the outcome is different...unless Arsen becomes stronger than John.

  • john was looking quite skinny here, any1 know what his weight was?

  • @Shase007 He made 209 for the weigh-in. He was about 215 for the actual match.

  • is there going to be a rematch in the future??

  • I don't see Liliev being stronger here, faster starts maybe, but with a 50/50 position John would dominate Arsen. This was clearly seen in the second match and the fourth I think...Liliev needs those quick starts otherwise there is no chance of beating him.

  • i think it was easier for arsen to toproll john since his hand isnt massive. and john couldnt hook arsen in them final 2 matchs cause of arsens power and speed.

  • Arsen.. confirmed drug-user..

  • @thefanaticx So what , you take too then !

  • @zigsauer Ehem.. I'll consider that as a compliment instead to all the hardwork and dedication I've done to my real sport of bodybuilding.. Still would have been nice if they actually DID sell any in my country.. when I'll be an adult, I'll always cherish your tactless and proofless accusation, haha.. at least I know I'm doing something right..

  • @thefanaticx : Arsen.. confirmed badass..

  • @thefanaticx

    Probably just took steroids and woke up the next day world class arm wrestler.....

  • @ramizec rofl

  • the leg under the table was gay

  • yeap..just Go would be better i think

  • match 2 my fav, and match 4, match 2 arsen says no cahnce, brzenk says give me what you got, brzenk pins him, haha.

  • Amazing defensive power from John in that position, and without hanging under the table! Who else can do that? The match turned to Arsen by a hair due to his speed at the starts and gaining advanced position. Maybe there could be found more even and equal way to start a match which would eliminate false starts? "Two seconds minimum- rule" between "ready"-(minimum 2 sec)-"go"? Just a thought.

    I'm not saying Arsen's starts were false I'm suggesting a way to end speculations .

  • @tedchristof

    I agree that there should be a better way to start the matches. If you ask me, the best way would be to ask both participants if they're ready, and after both say yes, a random "GO!" is said at any point within the next couple seconds. That way you couldnt time your start to be nearly in sync with the go as soon as the ref opens his mouth. Thats what ends up happening, because they know the Go comes immediately after the Ready.

  • @thedarkknight117 I think we are on the same page here but as I see it "ready?" is asked so that if someone is NOT ready one can say it to the judge. That's also why there should be a pause between "ready" and "go". One shouldn't be forced to say anything ("yes") if one is ready especially since there might be great amounts of pressure all ready and one is puffed up and tense/holding breath before the GO.

  • @tedchristof

    Yeah thats a great point. There should just be a pause of random length (at least maybe 2 seconds but less than like 4 or 5) between the Ready and the Go.

  • 3:11 elbow foul?

  • No way, Liliev started before the referee say "ready,  go!"

  • Brzenk needs to get back on the sauce

  • Notice black-haired referee reaction after first Liliev's hit... He looked to Brzenk and thought "OMFG, already?Howcome?Who won?Whay happened?"

  • Notice the elbow foul @ :10

  • John Brzenk noticed, that youth is coming... Good hits from Liliev, but obviously that Larratt's defensive hook would give a great trouble to Liliev, maybe because one of them is 85 kg, but other 110+ )))

  • Comment removed

  • john es el mejor the best, numero 1, pura vida costa rica

  • john doesn't look his strongest here liliev john will come back and punish him but lilieve came a long way the only way he did beat john in this video is speed get him over on you side and push till u dont run out bc he knows if the match goes over 5 sec john will get him

  • 1st Match: John taken by surprise

    2ond Match: tricky faults by Arsen. John is stronger

    3erd: Referee decision: John escapes from Arsen grips

    4rth Match: again real John's power. Arsen can't do anything, except continuous elbow faults. Referee should stop the match before he did

    5th Match: can't see from this angle, but I guess against elbow fault

    6th Match: who cares after all this? It's all shit by referees and Arsen.

  • I agree with u, I'm so angry every time I watch this.

  • me too....... arsen won against ivan matyshenko like that too elbow off pad

  • @docgutierrez

    Don't say too much. We just should know one thing. Arsen started early every matches. He pushed John's arm before the referee said "ready"!

  • @HouZuo Yea unless the sound is out of sync, he started pushing before the GO signal. The judges here are clowns.

  • @fdsfjsdfjjl

    Hey. You should look carefully. That Russian pussy pushed down John's arm before the stupid ref said ready!

  • @docgutierrez lilliev is the sloppiest, cheapshot style ive ever seen. and these refs are complete clowns

  • A great victory by arsen.Arsen its nr 1 now in the world on right.

  • fuck off. devon larratt is the number one
