I think arm wrestling should be compared to wrestling! If the enemy has not calculated his strength and can't continue the fight, then he must become the loser. Despite the fact that he entered by rounds
Если бы не вес Левана в 185-190 кг то он бы вобще не смог выиграть, и борьба была бы равной . Вся победа в 4 раундах это заслуга массы Левана, как и поражение в 2 раундах тоже изза массы ...
@vorox7658 yep. Max heart rate for too long. Just imagine being 190kg doing a 200m sprint at 4000m elevation. Thats where he was.....anyone questioning why he didn't continue has never put their cardiovascular system into the red like that before.
Same here man. I didn't even buy it when it was Live since time zone issues. I bought it and just stayed off RUclips to avoid spoilers. Watched it at night as if it was Live and not knowing anything. Was incredible.

@user-fn7nw5ll1x You need to rewatch the fouls... they are very obviously unintentional. They were also hardly fouls and should've been called as running fouls if at all. Also you are conveniently ignoring the fact that Ermes fouled twice in round 3 along with Levan.

I think ermes has a higher ceiling in terms of potential from right now onward. Levan has hit his peak IMHO in terms of size and strength etc. I believe ermes can and will put on even more weight.
Thank you Larry for organizing such a legendary match. This was one hell of a match between the two titans. Ermes suprised everyone with his insane strength and gave Levan a good challenge.
Honestly, I don't think anything can beat Chaffee vs Laletin. That match had every bit of drama you could ask for in a match, right down to the epic conclusion.
Probably the best armwrestling match ever, pure expression of strength and determination at the limit of human resistance! Simply magnificent, 2 true champions of power and fairness in comparison, Levan still the strongest but Hermes overflowing and unstoppable. You are great, congratulations!
4 rounds = a win but them Levan haters gonna say it's not. You can forfeit rounds verbally, you don't have to do mock pins, annnnd Matt Rhodes the producer said that Levan was struggling to breathe and could not physically continue the match himself. So who you gonna believe, these Levan haters saying he just quit to not get pinned or the actual producers?
@@ancapgrandscribe9546 dude was intentionally fouling way before that, so it is not unreasonable to suspect that he would do anything to avoid getting pinned
@@liiou4445 He wasn't intentionally fouling where was he doing that at? He may have surged too much to avoid getting into a bad spot, but at the same time what it looked like to me was that Ermes's surges were pushing him off
Ermes has leveled up at a astonishing rate. And he has always had the heart and will to win. Now that he is putting it all together he is a scary man to grip up with.
Amazing what KOT and the team is doing, absolutely the best in the business ! You guys are putting on and filming DREAM MATCHES! ERMES IS THE CLOSEST to the pinnacle that is Levan, unbelievable match and level of Armwrestling
@@matteobonomi9306 4:0 is already knockout my friend 🤌🤡 its not a running marathon this is armwrestling 🤡 so when you are pinned 4 to nohing and ypu are proud of it you and you call yourself beast and true n2 than who the hell you are to say to N1 such a kind of bullshit?? 🖕😉🖕
@SG RecordS Yeah well he probably wasn't expecting it to be as hot as it was and to work as hard as he did, there was a lot of body heat up in that room.
@SG RecordS he said something like that , his english is terrible and weird accent so of course It doesnt look like it "nono , i want to go little more please"
Ermes would have really drawed or even won match. But Levan elbow fouled at a few key moments when Ermes had momentum, He really didn't want to be pinned. And then he quits as Ermes was gaining momentum again, Of course he must have been gassed out, But we know he really didn't want to be pinned.. To keep his record. If you are gassed out, You take the pin and give up. But know he would rather elbow foul and then quit so that he saves face. The match ended with a win for him and no pins, Just technical rounds to Ermes. But the way things went, It could have been 3 actual pins to Ermes if Levan didn't wriggle out with fouls and quitting.. And that would have been bad for Levan's rep. I agree breathing problem is really dangerous. But those limitless fouls is a horrible rule! That gets taken advantage of too easily, and certainly can and does change the dynamic of a match! I hate the kings move too, But I can live with that... Those limitless fouls are the real game breaker! I have no doubt Ermes would have won another round or more if that shit was taken out.. Either by pinning Levan (cause he was gassed), Or through too many fouls.. And i can say the same for many other matches in the sport. So Unlimited/limitless fouls rule must be changed in King Of The Table otherwise players like Levan will misuse it for their own advantage against strong opponent to win match. Someone really needs to talk about this.
@@AllRounder-km3lh Ermes pushed him off the pad so of course he fouled, he didn’t intentionally foul, no one trying to be undefeated in rounds try to intentionally foul because enough of them mean a loss
Ermes has a very great inner strength, the strength of the spirit. When Ermes yells and holds Levan with all his might, the feeling that it is no longer Ermes who is doing it, that at this moment it is as if the spirit of Ermes himself is rebuffing Levan, the spirit of a warrior , it is incredible to resist such a Godzilla
This is probably the best arm wrestling match to date in the modern era. Even though Levan, is the champion, he had to work super hard for it. Let’s be honest we want someone to at least get 1 pin on him. Awesome match, from 2 giants.
Round 3, look round one even there levan was stopped. There was so much hyping because devon stops levan. But devon didn't stop. Ermes stops him even in first round

@@AllRounder-km3lh are you kidding, Ermes slipped out so many times to avoid multiple pins. Your just mad cause Levan is a beast that beats the guys you root for, stop making up BS on Levan. SMH
We are with you larry. You've brought joy to so many AW lovers. You will be remembered as one of the Real ones to uplift & spread this amazing sport. Lots of love 💪
Ermes could have easily win the fifth round when he was rocking levans elbow back and forth, unfortunately the foul by levan couldn’t make it. Ermes has truly shown mind blowing performance. We can say as of now that Ermes is the first in the world to stop levans pressure and the second top arm wrestler as of now. Incredible match.
This is *OUTRAGEOUS!* , never had i imagined that anyone other than denis could even have the chance to defend/hold on against this beast! Even though the enormous 50kg difference, Ermes is one hell of a man! 40:17, man i wish they let it go on i think we would’ve seen levans endurance and him being pinned.
@@bigvic12369 Hell yeaa the yell from Ermes when he stops levan and try’s to pin him and moves his arm. I’ve never seen someone do that to this version of levan 😮💨🔥
I think that Levan is experiencing diminishing returns from the extra mass that he has put on. If he loses a few pounds and improves his explosiveness and stamina that would make him more solid with less weaknesses.
In terms of raw power, this Levan is the strongest man to ever appear in this sport. But if he wants to stay the 1st in the world for a long time he should drop weight, I'm not sure how much his body can handle but in my opinion 170 is still in the upper range of risk. 150ish would be the ideal, and possibly most of it should be lean mass.
@CAPTAIN BICEPS Lifted.....? that's not a life dude.... that's using physics to cheat lift.... that's ok and all, but don't try to play it off like you're good as 150kg for a lift like that isn't exactly impressive.... I can swing 200kg off my legs like that all day! 😁
I think this versione is best suited for flashpinning everyone in a tournament. In a supermatch endurance is more important when the strenght gap isn't huge, as we saw here.
Man I love it when someone finally comes along and at least is able to somewhat hold their own against the TITAN of a sport. That gap is starting to close Levan!
Yes the Italian has very good strength. we have to consider 188 kg it’s hard to breathe Levan showed the power he poses in the first 3 rounds and if there is rematch Levan will always get the first 3 or 4 rounds
Levan is absolutely incredibly powerful and his strength is just insane he's like a superhuman hybrid with f****** neanderthal DNA lol no joke. But what a great match between these men gentleman! So much respect and great sportsmanship between these two!! And a great fight Ermes put up against Levan. Ermes has such great endurance but Levan is just so powerful! We thank and we love you guys ❤️🙏🏼💪🏼
He is insane but, he is lost in the roids had to quit early because his breathing wasn't ok he said and it's not worth dying for. Thats the consequences of going over the limit 🤷♂️ so superhuman? I don't think so ..
Axel Ollevier Sure but it’s a race to 4 that’s the highest it’s going to go. So he wouldn’t have to agree with having 6 rounds just Cus. Ermes realistically could have won with thoss fouls in rd 3? 4? As ermes had position and was going to pin him and Levan kept elbow fouling to avoid it. Would have changed the matchv
@@axelollevier8420 levan has fuking 188kgso he get tired so early his body needs oxizen instantly he doesn't want to bring his body on extreme condition.....
@@mitalinagar5261 idk why u said that cause i already knew that. That's why i stated he's no superhuman just a human with his body pushed beyond every limit. Thats the price you pay...
You will always be remembered as the man who stopped the overwhelming force of this giant. Definitely; Levan won the match, but the Italian horse manages to leave him with an oxygen mask.
Levan sure is a formidable foe and Ermes is one of those who has the potential to be the first ever to defeat Levan in his prime, props to both of them. The Fight was so nerve wracking literally got me hooked while watching this
@@Svhopowaso mad infact he made the beast gas out prematurely and give up his dream of ending his career with 6-0 against everyone. In Levans own words "6-0 is not worth my life". What a Chad Ermes for bringing the will power to die on the table there that night.
@@GioCTRL he still won pretty easy.. technically the match was already won . Ermes didn’t have nothing for levan .. sorry to pop your bubble of fantasy
@@YetAnotherRetardedYTUpdate exactly, that’s was an insane effort from ermes… to be 50kg lighter than levan and still make him quit was incredible to watch, always loved gasperini, but that guy has gone to the next level… at super heavyweight too, crazy
Levan, I congratulate you on another victory! Georgia is proud of you! Прочитал здесь посты, почему то все болеют за Ермеса! That's what happens when the strongest holds the throne for a very long time and his winner is not visible in the future! Ermes is a good guy, he gave you a lot of resistance, but I'm confident that you could win the last two battles. Maybe you cheered up a good young man and helped awaken interest in arm wrestling! Undoubtedly, you are the coolest guy. Rejoice, as you made us happy, all over Georgia!
@noxgta yeah Devon vs. Mike told when they had there big match in Dubai yeah he may have been able to put up a fight with both of them but now I don't think he has a chance. He was a bad man in his day I just think he has turned that age corner. Ermes could probably beat everyone but Levan right now.
Great effort for a first crack at the champ, that was awesome coverage too. Well done Levan and Ermes, Damn that was a great fight from a true gladiator 🤙🏾
Ive bought every KOTT pay per view so far and this was absolutely insane! Ill always continue to support as long as these crazy ass matches keep happening 💪
@@alucardza6821 ermes would've pinned him twice if levan had stepped up to the table again, so yes, ermes got two rounds on him If this were a boxing match and one guy won 4 rounds but then couldn't come out his corner for the rest of the rounds, that's a tko loss.
Incredible match and what a great effort to try and match Levan's strength by Ermes. He def. shocked the world and made history. Having said that, no one is doubting that Levan is the #1 P4P king of the table at the moment!
This was an awesome match. Ermes showed hella heart in this. I loved how he didn't give up even after knowing he lost the match. He knew he could still get a pin.
The Power between both these dudes is Ridiculous 💪 Super Human Strength seriously!!! The way Levan just Plowed through Devon and his defensive stronghold position.. was Completely Insane!!! Devon just shook his head.. cuz he knew that Levan is On A Completely Different Level of Strength!!! Respect to Ermes for even making it a Match 😎 very impressive next time bro maybe!!!
@trekker75 hahaha I guess 3 is better than 0 lol 😂 I like likes no doubt!!! But I don't comment for likes I just say what I saw and for what Levan did to Devon to me was ridiculous!! Devon is strong but didn't stand any chance!!! So I basically was trying to HUMBLY say that Ermes really impressed me!!! I love that guy!!! Great personality and just an all around badass!!! Unlike my comments 😭 lol but I agree with you 3 is pretty bad hahaha
Despues de esto deberían cambiar las reglas como en boxeo y en este caso darle la victoria a Ermes por abandono de Levan. No fué por lesión, fué un abandono y no se llegó a los rounds pactados.
KOTT getting better in each repetition, regarding presentaiton, athletes, organization, everything... Wondering who will KOTT7 will bring? Got a few match in my mind but its only imagination. :) Remember guys where we started with KOTT1 and where is our sport now!!!! Larry, Coresports doing an amazing job with promoting, presenting this insane event! Its going in the history books amongst other matches, thank you!
Round 5 : Imagine the most powerful Arm wrestler + his 200ish kg weight hanging on Ermes's arm and he's holding it like a monster . If Ermes hanged on levan's arm as long as levan did on Ermes's i bet levan would have had a heart attack . What a fuckin legend Ermes. You're one of the most brave armwrestler ever your stamina is one of the best a human being with 130ish weight could ever have. Mark my words this match would go as one of the most legendary match in the history of arm wrestling 👑
5:53 In that first slip, it’s like something out of a Greek Epic. Or and Ancient Fable of War. They’re like two rival lions roaring in a fight for their prides. Chills. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽

You can forfeit rounds verbally, you don't have to do mock pins, annnnd Matt Rhodes the producer said that Levan was struggling to breathe and could not physically continue the match himself. So who you gonna believe, these Levan haters saying he just quit to not get pinned or the actual producers?
@instagrambrainwashedsheep491Well he won…
@@ancapgrandscribe9546 dude was intentionally fouling way before that, so it is not unreasonable to suspect that he would do anything to avoid getting pinned
@@liiou4445 He wasn't intentionally fouling where was he doing that at? He may have surged too much to avoid getting into a bad spot, but at the same time what it looked like to me was that Ermes's surges were pushing him off
@@liiou4445 Not saying Ermes was intentionally pushing him off, but that pressure from a surge can make you slip off.
Ermes has leveled up at a astonishing rate. And he has always had the heart and will to win. Now that he is putting it all together he is a scary man to grip up with.
and he is top 10 with other hand too while levan is not
Ermes you are a pride for us Italians, you have heart and courage to spare, you are a champion, congratulations to Levan too
💯
You Italians also have great boxers and fighters
I lifted 140 kg for biceps for 2 reps can you?

Ermes, we were not surprised, we were SHOCKED! That was THE most epic fight I have ever seen. You are purely amazing!
52:56 - The way Ermes was drinking with shaking hands shows how vicious the battle was.
and then an immediate cut to levan in a breathing mask 😂
Used everything in the tank. Great match overall.
Levan has reached a incredible level of greatness in this sport if he wins but doesn't flash pin a man instantly the opponent is doing great.
Incrediblr level of hgh
It’s impressive cause the weight difference imagine if they both weighed the same
@trekker75 that analogy was stupid cuz body weight is attainable by everyone so your comment literally makes no sense

Amazing what KOT and the team is doing, absolutely the best in the business ! You guys are putting on and filming DREAM MATCHES! ERMES IS THE CLOSEST to the pinnacle that is Levan, unbelievable match and level of Armwrestling

@SG RecordS I want little more please
@SG RecordS Yeah well he probably wasn't expecting it to be as hot as it was and to work as hard as he did, there was a lot of body heat up in that room.
@SG RecordS he said something like that , his english is terrible and weird accent so of course It doesnt look like it "nono , i want to go little more please"
Ermes would have really drawed or even won match. But Levan elbow fouled at a few key moments when Ermes had momentum, He really didn't want to be pinned. And then he quits as Ermes was gaining momentum again, Of course he must have been gassed out, But we know he really didn't want to be pinned.. To keep his record. If you are gassed out, You take the pin and give up. But know he would rather elbow foul and then quit so that he saves face. The match ended with a win for him and no pins, Just technical rounds to Ermes. But the way things went, It could have been 3 actual pins to Ermes if Levan didn't wriggle out with fouls and quitting.. And that would have been bad for Levan's rep.
I agree breathing problem is really dangerous. But those limitless fouls is a horrible rule! That gets taken advantage of too easily, and certainly can and does change the dynamic of a match! I hate the kings move too, But I can live with that... Those limitless fouls are the real game breaker! I have no doubt Ermes would have won another round or more if that shit was taken out.. Either by pinning Levan (cause he was gassed), Or through too many fouls.. And i can say the same for many other matches in the sport.
So Unlimited/limitless fouls rule must be changed in King Of The Table otherwise players like Levan will misuse it for their own advantage against strong opponent to win match. Someone really needs to talk about this.
@@AllRounder-km3lh Ermes pushed him off the pad so of course he fouled, he didn’t intentionally foul, no one trying to be undefeated in rounds try to intentionally foul because enough of them mean a loss
the first slip is the single greatest goosebump moment I have ever had
Ermes has a very great inner strength, the strength of the spirit. When Ermes yells and holds Levan with all his might, the feeling that it is no longer Ermes who is doing it, that at this moment it is as if the spirit of Ermes himself is rebuffing Levan, the spirit of a warrior , it is incredible to resist such a Godzilla
You should write the next hulk movie
I agree but levan has the spirit and humbleness of a warrior. All this talk of Ermes as a warrior forgets Levan is no less a warrior.
and he is top 10 with other hand too while levan is not
Beautiful Image Brother.
This is probably the best arm wrestling match to date in the modern era. Even though Levan, is the champion, he had to work super hard for it. Let’s be honest we want someone to at least get 1 pin on him. Awesome match, from 2 giants.
Lol what
Levan so good people Atleast just want to see him get pin at least 1 time
Lose nah that is not even tooic for levan rn
It'll never happen gomer, wake up.
of course
@@davidporter28 Ermes 100% had two pins coming if Levan didn't give up
I've watched round 3 probably like 10 000 times by now. Ermes is a beast.
Round 3, look round one even there levan was stopped. There was so much hyping because devon stops levan. But devon didn't stop. Ermes stops him even in first round
And ermes didnt make such a show like devon did after first round.

@@AllRounder-km3lh are you kidding, Ermes slipped out so many times to avoid multiple pins. Your just mad cause Levan is a beast that beats the guys you root for, stop making up BS on Levan. SMH
The best match I’ve ever watched. This was insane. Ermes took Levans soul. We need a rematch.
levaan king. . georgian hulk😊😊😊
No lol levan took ermes's soul 4-0
losing 4-0 is taking someone's soul?
@@matthewg5792 Yes, but only when we are talking about Levan, who what unbeatable for 7 years. Not losing to Levan 6-0 is just like wining
We are with you larry. You've brought joy to so many AW lovers. You will be remembered as one of the Real ones to uplift & spread this amazing sport. Lots of love 💪
Ermes could have easily win the fifth round when he was rocking levans elbow back and forth, unfortunately the foul by levan couldn’t make it. Ermes has truly shown mind blowing performance. We can say as of now that Ermes is the first in the world to stop levans pressure and the second top arm wrestler as of now. Incredible match.
yea, if Levan didn't get the 4th flash pin, i think he would of been a draw and Levan would had to of forfeit 3 - 3
even in the third round if the referee instead of stopping had let it continue. we would have a Hermes pin
It should have been running foul and let the round continue, why is this not a rule ?
also Levan was using kingsmove and elbowfouls
@@yannickcolot2319 People won't notice that
This is *OUTRAGEOUS!* , never had i imagined that anyone other than denis could even have the chance to defend/hold on against this beast! Even though the enormous 50kg difference, Ermes is one hell of a man!
40:17, man i wish they let it go on i think we would’ve seen levans endurance and him being pinned.
EXACTLY! I wish I could see that round in another universe where there was no foul, ermes looked like he had him
and he is top 10 with other hand too while levan is not
Now ermes got handled by devon 😂
I hate the foul ruling. He clearly was on his way to pin him but levan got away because of a foul.
20:56 "Yeah, come on." This is probably the most badass line of the arm-wrestling history.
Probably the greatest armwrestling round
He says "Dai, c'mon" Dai Italian as in "Give it to me, c'mon"
@@GioCTRL Okay brother!
@@GioCTRLDamn that's even more badass
5:55 is my fav man, i love when Levan screams at his competition and the moment i saw Ermes scream back....i was a fan!
Yeah but the best part is at 20:38 🔥💣
@@bigvic12369 Hell yeaa the yell from Ermes when he stops levan and try’s to pin him and moves his arm. I’ve never seen someone do that to this version of levan 😮💨🔥
Thank you larry for let us to see this amazing match. Both of them are king!
Thanks Larry for putting arm wrestling on the map.
Did he tho?
Nope. But he has brought more eyes to the sport which is awesome.
U gotta go back to juji and possibly thor lmao
@@pmudri he got 2.67 million average bodybuilding enjoyer in to armwrestling so yes
@@Alekoramishviliofficial no he hasn't. nd what is up with Larry Wheels? Kinda sus that he has so many subscribers. Almost like a plant.
I think that Levan is experiencing diminishing returns from the extra mass that he has put on. If he loses a few pounds and improves his explosiveness and stamina that would make him more solid with less weaknesses.
Totally. Against Devon he was 10 kg lighter and even then he seemed to a tad too heavy already. I guess he would be at his optimum at around 170
Yea it's what we said when Devon faced him. Devon just had to hold him out of the gate and stamina would do the rest as we saw here
In terms of raw power, this Levan is the strongest man to ever appear in this sport. But if he wants to stay the 1st in the world for a long time he should drop weight, I'm not sure how much his body can handle but in my opinion 170 is still in the upper range of risk. 150ish would be the ideal, and possibly most of it should be lean mass.
@CAPTAIN BICEPS Lifted.....? that's not a life dude.... that's using physics to cheat lift.... that's ok and all, but don't try to play it off like you're good as 150kg for a lift like that isn't exactly impressive.... I can swing 200kg off my legs like that all day! 😁
I think this versione is best suited for flashpinning everyone in a tournament. In a supermatch endurance is more important when the strenght gap isn't huge, as we saw here.
To even stop levan 3 seconds means your a monster yourself..Ermes is a warrior👍
and he is top 10 with other hand too while levan is not
Man I love it when someone finally comes along and at least is able to somewhat hold their own against the TITAN of a sport. That gap is starting to close Levan!
Ermes is insane

He lost four rounds in a row and the match.
@@ndon85 Match was won @ 4-0 though, he didn't pin Levan once. Show me Ermes pinning Levan? Imagine holding onto forfeit losses as your argument.
Yes the Italian has very good strength. we have to consider 188 kg it’s hard to breathe Levan showed the power he poses in the first 3 rounds and if there is rematch Levan will always get the first 3 or 4 rounds
Levan is absolutely incredibly powerful and his strength is just insane he's like a superhuman hybrid with f****** neanderthal DNA lol no joke. But what a great match between these men gentleman! So much respect and great sportsmanship between these two!! And a great fight Ermes put up against Levan. Ermes has such great endurance but Levan is just so powerful! We thank and we love you guys ❤️🙏🏼💪🏼
He is insane but, he is lost in the roids had to quit early because his breathing wasn't ok he said and it's not worth dying for. Thats the consequences of going over the limit 🤷♂️ so superhuman? I don't think so ..
Axel Ollevier
Sure but it’s a race to 4 that’s the highest it’s going to go. So he wouldn’t have to agree with having 6 rounds just Cus.
Ermes realistically could have won with thoss fouls in rd 3? 4? As ermes had position and was going to pin him and Levan kept elbow fouling to avoid it. Would have changed the matchv
yea Levan is slightly stronger. but he needed to do kingsmove and elbowfouls to win 4/2 . the rematch will be different
@@axelollevier8420 levan has fuking 188kgso he get tired so early his body needs oxizen instantly he doesn't want to bring his body on extreme condition.....

Thank you Larry and team to give us this amazing match 🙏
You will always be remembered as the man who stopped the overwhelming force of this giant. Definitely; Levan won the match, but the Italian horse manages to leave him with an oxygen mask.

Both these men are beasts, for Ermes to have stamina after those first 4 rounds is amazing, congrats Levan well played to both of them.
Gasparini is the only one who has given a very tough game to levan in years!!! 😃😃
Levan sure is a formidable foe and Ermes is one of those who has the potential to be the first ever to defeat Levan in his prime, props to both of them. The Fight was so nerve wracking literally got me hooked while watching this

20:55: greatest "C'mon!" in the history of armwrestling.
Chills
Big mistake . He made the monster angry
@@Svhopowaso mad infact he made the beast gas out prematurely and give up his dream of ending his career with 6-0 against everyone. In Levans own words "6-0 is not worth my life". What a Chad Ermes for bringing the will power to die on the table there that night.
@@GioCTRL he still won pretty easy.. technically the match was already won . Ermes didn’t have nothing for levan .. sorry to pop your bubble of fantasy
@@Svhopowa Just cope with the fact that he made your hulk quit.
Congratulation Levan💪
Ermes Leggenda 🇮🇹🔥
This is a victory for ermes in my eyes, he’s living rent free in levans head after this fight, levan refusing the rematch speaks volumes for me
@@YetAnotherRetardedYTUpdate exactly, that’s was an insane effort from ermes… to be 50kg lighter than levan and still make him quit was incredible to watch, always loved gasperini, but that guy has gone to the next level… at super heavyweight too, crazy

Victory for ermes and he got 4 times pinned 🤣 🤦♂️
Levan, I congratulate you on another victory! Georgia is proud of you! Прочитал здесь посты, почему то все болеют за Ермеса! That's what happens when the strongest holds the throne for a very long time and his winner is not visible in the future! Ermes is a good guy, he gave you a lot of resistance, but I'm confident that you could win the last two battles. Maybe you cheered up a good young man and helped awaken interest in arm wrestling! Undoubtedly, you are the coolest guy. Rejoice, as you made us happy, all over Georgia!
I have to give Ermes the credit here honestly because he Levan is twice his size and he is holding him
I'm scared to see Devon vs Ermes now. I always thought Devon would beat him, but now I'm sure of the opposite.
@noxgta yeah Devon vs. Mike told when they had there big match in Dubai yeah he may have been able to put up a fight with both of them but now I don't think he has a chance. He was a bad man in his day I just think he has turned that age corner. Ermes could probably beat everyone but Levan right now.
@@fluffylittlebear devon won lol this sport is so confusing it just shows styles clash
Maybe the most intense match ever. Ermes went all in on that flop-wrist press, 200% commitment. He was risking it all on that, and his frame held up.
I LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU LARRY
Italian gladiator was just 130kg and made levan go for supllemental oxygen requirement.Hatsoff Ermes
Saying JUST 130 (135) kg is funny
Great effort for a first crack at the champ, that was awesome coverage too. Well done Levan and Ermes, Damn that was a great fight from a true gladiator 🤙🏾
Ive bought every KOTT pay per view so far and this was absolutely insane! Ill always continue to support as long as these crazy ass matches keep happening 💪
Even after having that much weight difference he manage to get 4:2.What a beast ermes Is 💪
It’s more like 4(2):0 not 4:2 Ermes didn’t beat him
@@alucardza6821That supposed to happen but Levan gave up he was out of breath
@@alucardza6821 ermes would've pinned him twice if levan had stepped up to the table again, so yes, ermes got two rounds on him
If this were a boxing match and one guy won 4 rounds but then couldn't come out his corner for the rest of the rounds, that's a tko loss.
@The one typing this but this isn't boxing
Incredible match and what a great effort to try and match Levan's strength by Ermes. He def. shocked the world and made history. Having said that, no one is doubting that Levan is the #1 P4P king of the table at the moment!
P4P? Definitely not, the guy is massive and his weight is a huge advantage.
Pound for pound ? You must not have a clue what that means
This was an awesome match. Ermes showed hella heart in this. I loved how he didn't give up even after knowing he lost the match. He knew he could still get a pin.
Ermes is a warrior, one of the most insane match ive seen
The two of you have won the hearts of the entire studio. Very awesome, both of them.💪❤️
The Power between both these dudes is Ridiculous 💪 Super Human Strength seriously!!! The way Levan just Plowed through Devon and his defensive stronghold position.. was Completely Insane!!! Devon just shook his head.. cuz he knew that Levan is On A Completely Different Level of Strength!!! Respect to Ermes for even making it a Match 😎 very impressive next time bro maybe!!!
@trekker75 hahaha I guess 3 is better than 0 lol 😂 I like likes no doubt!!! But I don't comment for likes I just say what I saw and for what Levan did to Devon to me was ridiculous!! Devon is strong but didn't stand any chance!!! So I basically was trying to HUMBLY say that Ermes really impressed me!!! I love that guy!!! Great personality and just an all around badass!!! Unlike my comments 😭 lol but I agree with you 3 is pretty bad hahaha
Lo de Ermes sin duda fue absolutamente increíble!!!
Despues de esto deberían cambiar las reglas como en boxeo y en este caso darle la victoria a Ermes por abandono de Levan. No fué por lesión, fué un abandono y no se llegó a los rounds pactados.
KOTT getting better in each repetition, regarding presentaiton, athletes, organization, everything... Wondering who will KOTT7 will bring? Got a few match in my mind but its only imagination. :) Remember guys where we started with KOTT1 and where is our sport now!!!! Larry, Coresports doing an amazing job with promoting, presenting this insane event! Its going in the history books amongst other matches, thank you!
20:38 GOOSEBUMP
best arm wrestling match ive ever seen , i was screaming at my laptop
Ermes is an absolute warrior with zero doubt 🔥🔥🔥
It looks like Levan doesn’t want to see any part of Ermes in the future but he must, it deserves a rematch
💯
Essa foi umas das melhores lutas q já vi, Davi vs Golias
This is no doubt one of the strongest arm wrestling match, cant wait for Denis vs Levan
i think denis gets destroyed at the moment also by others like Ermes Dave or Morozov. we will see how he does against Devon first
We need that rematch in a year.
@SG RecordS yea but ermes is getting stronger every couple of months. Levan not anymore
@@yannickcolot2319preach, if you guys could only understand italiano - Issa is saying it all on his channel. Ermes friend
Fucking epic match ermes is a fucking monster. Levin had to king move he knew standing up he would been in a bad spot.
Round 5 : Imagine the most powerful Arm wrestler + his 200ish kg weight hanging on Ermes's arm and he's holding it like a monster . If Ermes hanged on levan's arm as long as levan did on Ermes's i bet levan would have had a heart attack . What a fuckin legend Ermes. You're one of the most brave armwrestler ever your stamina is one of the best a human being with 130ish weight could ever have. Mark my words this match would go as one of the most legendary match in the history of arm wrestling 👑
Wow, at 4:53 it says that Levan's forearm measures 208 in. His forearm is three times bigger than his chest.
It just speaks volumes how everyone freaks out when a Levan match isn't a half second flash pin cuz any type of resistance aganst him is insane 😂
5:53 In that first slip, it’s like something out of a Greek Epic. Or and Ancient Fable of War. They’re like two rival lions roaring in a fight for their prides.
Chills. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
Something just incredible to see! Easily one of the best!
Huge respect to Ermes after this match
and he is top 10 with other hand too while levan is not
This is for sure a match that we all will remember for years 👋💪
So much better with the crowd around the action.
