I love it when you guys hate on Larry like anyone has accomplished more than him in the strength world. He's not even top 20 and has done more for arm wrestling than anyone next to Devon. Go sip your soy latte and tend to your zen garden sissy boys
Feels like Larry got overwhelmed by life when he tried to take on all of these challenges at the same time. He is not that old and too much stress will break anyone.
Yes that killed Leonidas, John’s transition was just perfect. Leonidas is not versatile enough but he gave John a good fight! Hope the guy will have a bright future
Honestly, very surprised with his performance, impressive technique for someone so short in the sport. Looking forward seeing him compete again, humble and hard working dude!
Leonidas is such a gentleman and respects all athletes. Never puts himself above others, which is truly humbling! What a great guy! His future within the sport will be Super Elite! 💪🏻
Leonidas, not only super likeable as a person, has only been arm wrestling for 3 years.... 3 YEARS...!!! Think about that and think about just how well he arm wrestled against John. Leonidas is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Gotta admit I didn't really know too much about this guy.... other then seeing him pull a couple serious dudes, and winning btw, wasn't sure I was gonna like him that much tbh... However... I LOVE THIS GUY NOW!! Very strong, great arch for serious improvement... but most of all, he's super respectful and I really appreciate that in solid new comers. Well done against the GOAT. 👏👏👏
Even if he was a smacktalker, u can't do that against John. Its su1cide lmao, only Devon got away with smacktalking him because he has a larger following full of 2 IQ redneks.
Kam bisschen unerwartet aber großen Respekt an beide Athleten. John ist absoluter Wahnsinn für sein Alter. Leonidas wünsche ich noch viel Erfolg bei weiteren Wettkämpfen, würde gerne dabei sehen wie er sich mit der Zeit entwickelt, weil ein unfassbares Potenzial hat. 💪♥️
Leo is becoming so good, so quickly. That aside, if the Olympics does embrace armwrestling, they need a senior division, because it just wouldn't be right if John Brzenk doesn't have a gold medal.
Leonidas couldn't loose! If John beats him he lost to the GOAT but he won tons of experience if he would have beat John it would have been the biggest win in his young career. Leonidas gave John a good fight and he has a bright future in AW.💪🏾
Such a humble and likeable guy! I’d be very interested in seeing him vs Pavlo. Two huge, muscular guys with some of the most impressive gym lifts in the game.
Leonidas es muy fuerte y lo admiro muy humilde y reconocer que perdio con el mejor esas personas llegan lejos aceptan la derrotan y nondan excusas el goat jhon brzenk
COBRAAAAA! Bro its SO GOOD to see Cobra Rhodes involved with EvW...EvW being THE BEST its only fitting to have THE BEST, which EvW is doing from all perspectives 💯 Its SO important that new fans get exposed thoroughly to all the legends that preceded the explosion in popularity armwrestling has enjoyed 👍
@@tilmanrotationalinvariant2257 yeaa but you do not travel and let your life and family go..just to train arm wrestling. you will train with what you got. and thats not much in germany.
Kamil said Leonidas trained with their club and was losing to a guy that he thought was below John’s level so was sure John would win. I wonder who that guy is.
That guy is straight yoked that's a very impressive win from a 60-year-old. I know it's 40 I'm nowhere near what I was in my twenties and everything hurts that I used to do easily so mad props to the goat
and people say prime John wouldnt do well in this generation of armwrestling...this guy doesnt even lift weights, used to fight at 95-100 kg class and was an open division champ for decades...what if John was lifting weights and using modern machines to train every single muscle and motion? wouldnt that be terrifying?
Honest young guy, good for the sport, just needs more experience, and of course could ask JOhn what type of beer he drinks that might be part of the secret LOL . John will get hurt almost after everymatch, cant do any training, then train a bit and pull of these matches, Total one of kind.
John had better Technique, it wasn't power difference. Leonidas had all the power advantage, got the wrist etc. and lost against the transition/technique/experience difference.
@@QuietToproll agreed he’s the GOAT and Levan’s the BOAT but there were guys like Norton, Lupkes, Goodridge, and Cleve at open weights too that at various times had John’s number.
@@e-ton2145 John has a winning record on all those guys. Besides Scott because he quit before John faced him again. Remember it was tournament pulling back then. John pulled multiple weight categories so he wasn’t as fresh as the supers. Sometimes you can get a good or bad draw.
ich habe gerade das video rausgesucht wo ich leonidas das erste mal gesehen habe und das war auch das erste mal wo Leonidas anfing alles hinter sich stehen zu lassen schon damals war er ein überflieger ( ruclips.net/video/O64JHL_m1cQ/видео.html ) noch nie hatte mich einer in sein bann geschlagen aber Leonidas hat es geschaft schon bei diesem video wuste ich wenn er weiter macht wird er zum oberkracher
Thank you everyone who support and back up your athletes 🙏 together for better future of armwrestling 💪
He is everything what we thought Larry was going to be.
💯
Damn right
Larry was the powerlifting idol of Leonidas, as he told.
I love it when you guys hate on Larry like anyone has accomplished more than him in the strength world. He's not even top 20 and has done more for arm wrestling than anyone next to Devon. Go sip your soy latte and tend to your zen garden sissy boys

Leonidas is such a good sport, man is really bringing a smile to me everytime he speaks, always humble but still such a talented guy
Leo got John's wrist and Leo is a very respectful humble athlete. Respect to both of them
He has a bright future ahead!
John's transition to the press was killer. The fact that Leo got John's wrist to open was pretty impressive already.
Yes that killed Leonidas, John’s transition was just perfect. Leonidas is not versatile enough but he gave John a good fight! Hope the guy will have a bright future
I m totally sold on Leo. Man was taking John wrist,just unreal
He is such a nice humble fair guy. Allways smile when he talk. Hope he will be one of the top 10 one day.
Leonidas has class. Respect. Sportsmanship matters. His talent, character and drive wins him a seat at the table. And John is an Icon for a reason.
Honestly, very surprised with his performance, impressive technique for someone so short in the sport. Looking forward seeing him compete again, humble and hard working dude!

He’s such a great guy, always with a good smile and great attitude.
Leo is no joke, he did better than Voevoda.
They could give him voevoda, let see of Alexey can avenge schoolboy
@@jayclean5653Nah, John is as Good as He Was, Maybe Even Better.......
@@jayclean5653Noway this John was huge man but we cant know for sure
john was strong i recon john now would have had an easier time with it
Leonidas is becoming one of my favorites, seems like such a down to earth guy and his progression is insane!!📈
Outstanding effort from both of them. Amazing that John won at 60 years old, and Leonidas is such a great sport and has a bright future ahead.
Leonidas, tbh I've never seen somebody took John's wrist as u did. Phenomenal job! I'm ur fan from yesterday :))
Leonidas, not only super likeable as a person, has only been arm wrestling for 3 years.... 3 YEARS...!!! Think about that and think about just how well he arm wrestled against John. Leonidas is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Serious since 1 year not even kidding he said that in an interview with engin
Leonidas is a great guy. Excited to watch him progress.
Gotta admit I didn't really know too much about this guy.... other then seeing him pull a couple serious dudes, and winning btw, wasn't sure I was gonna like him that much tbh...
However... I LOVE THIS GUY NOW!!
Very strong, great arch for serious improvement... but most of all, he's super respectful and I really appreciate that in solid new comers.
Well done against the GOAT. 👏👏👏
Love Leonidas! Amazing to see him compete.
very respectful person, luv him
Leo is a true gift for AW!
but when you are a pro AW, than you compete in your own weightclass? in SHW i dont know how much future he has ?
@@brokenarm6575 I think he will compete in the 115kg division. At least for now.
Leonidas is such a great guy, potential through the roof!
Top guy 👍👍👍
I don't know why but his matches are much more entertaining than others. Probably because he hasn't been in this sport that long
Nice attitude, very humble, tallented and he speaks english.
I really like Leonidas. Totally down to Earth guy without any arrogance.
Leonidas is such a nice guy and a real Sports man, bleib so wie du bist 💪
Leonidas seems like a really cool guy. He could be so arrogant and full of sht but he comes across as a generally nice guy.
That goes for everybody
Even if he was a smacktalker, u can't do that against John. Its su1cide lmao, only Devon got away with smacktalking him because he has a larger following full of 2 IQ redneks.
Leonidas is one of this rare athletes wich are super strong, not afraid to lose and to learn, but being extremely humble at the same time
Such a nice humble guy. GG. great fight against the GOAT
Top 10 in few years for sure, wish you luck and good health Leonidas!
Very humble guy , respect for you brother 💪 ❤️ very respectful. You will get far here 👏
Kam bisschen unerwartet aber großen Respekt an beide Athleten. John ist absoluter Wahnsinn für sein Alter. Leonidas wünsche ich noch viel Erfolg bei weiteren Wettkämpfen, würde gerne dabei sehen wie er sich mit der Zeit entwickelt, weil ein unfassbares Potenzial hat. 💪♥️
Future Champ..100%
Keep going Leonidas you have a lot more to give
Leonidas has a bright future in arm wrestling
Leo is becoming so good, so quickly.
That aside, if the Olympics does embrace armwrestling, they need a senior division, because it just wouldn't be right if John Brzenk doesn't have a gold medal.
Class act is Leonidas, insane potential as well
Love Leonidas. what a humble gentleman
That arm is absolutely insane
A good guy, well played.
What an amazing human being Leonidas!
Leo is recognising John is old and taught him lessons.... I love the respect!!
Nice guy...humble and professional
Cobra is perfect for these interviews, keep him there please , excellent job engin
He dances when he talks. Just hope he stays in focus and in the frame.
Just awesome man 🙌. I couldn't root for him against John, but against anyone else i would
Leonidas couldn't loose! If John beats him he lost to the GOAT but he won tons of experience if he would have beat John it would have been the biggest win in his young career. Leonidas gave John a good fight and he has a bright future in AW.💪🏾

he will comeback much stronger :)
That pump is epic! Holy smokes😮

The Problem is in Germany you cant train much with the international real good Guys.
I think he has the money to travel.
Yeah that’s true. I think that’s a big reason the Georgians are so dominant as well.
@@Justinsox39 Georgians got a mass of good arm wrestler. Germany got nothing.

Love leonidas
It was a great check for Leon to feel THE John Brzenk, his humility will take him places
Leonidas done really well, but knowing that John arm wrestle 45 years and Leo is only 26 years old is just crazy
Not 23?
@@BvsterrrrrrrrrNo, Leonidas is 26.
He does look 19 to me.
@@Kikwatz No 19 year old looks like that 💀

Unser Mann🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
My girlfriend has an uncle like cobra man he is the best to be around. Always entertaining!
super humble in defeat. respect leo
Awesome event and great after pulling!
So… how tf did John beat this guy? Im bewildered 🐐 🤯🤯🤯🤯
It was honestly a miracle. John was very surprised himself.
Experience and perfect tactics from john!
@@droetkaar And a very strong press.
Big respect ✊ for leo

Super Leo!
the polite german.
Humble!!!!
Top Mann der Leonidas💪🏼😃
Very likable
Leonides build reminds me of Scott Steiner
Bester Mann
I love the Germans
Leo the man ❤

Hat is off to you Leonidas!
Leo should go to brzenk for Training
leonidas ist echt ne maschine
we need Arm wrestling in the Olympics for real. Make it happen.. petition for the love of the sport.!!!!!!
RVJ vs Leonidas please.
Leonidea vs ayello i wanna see
Very gracious in defeat but of course there is nothing but respect for John.
Prime John destroys prime Levan.
Everyone is talking Larry's Dreams are becoming real for Leonidas you know why..is because Leonidas is more strong mentally i believe so
Brzenk is just incredible. And Leo is turning out to be a great armwrestler. I'm not sure how long he can keep it up with the roids though, we'll see.
Was that Cobra?
Crazy
Let's see him take on Auden Larratt next !
Voevoda vs Leonidas maybe?
John had better Technique, it wasn't power difference.
Leonidas had all the power advantage, got the wrist etc. and lost against the transition/technique/experience difference.
Leo calls him the BOAT))
No way John of any era beats today’s open weight champ, Levan, and even during his prime there were often one or two open weight guys better than him.
@@e-ton2145in John’s prime he was #1 in the world. Obviously he won’t beat Levan. Levan is the BOAT. John is the GOAT.

Great interviewer, used to do C Rack 30 years ago
Cobra Rhodes tá puro não
I’m actually surprised that John won 3-0
I feel like both Devon and John strung their matches out. Milked them to look like they where a bigger challange than they actualy were
There’s no excuse about all the quality. Sort yourselves out.
