Alexey Semerenko vs John Brzenk Vendetta 2006

[@landonjones676]

There will never be anyone in this sport that can match the legendary American John brzenk. Insane how many different weight classes he has ruled over in his life and now at almost 60 the guy is still beating other men half his age.

[@gripriparmwrestling]

2006 John brzenk is the most complete Armwrestler we have ever seen

[@l4dengun186]

This is way better after watching John talk about how frustrating this match was due to the behind the scenes circumstances and the fouls called. He was the most fired up he’s ever been.

This Joh. Should have taken on Voevoda, but Alexey avoided John like the plague.....he'd rather look good besting Todd than losing to John.

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Voevoda had his government's duties and bobsledding, i don't see anyone ducking... Certainly a shame that the rematch never happened, they should've pulled in 2007 when Voevoda crushed Todd, they were both at that event i think, there's a picture of both sparring on the table... Oh, and look at how puffy and bloated Brzenk looks, certainly on a good cycle, lol...

[@sonyx4500]

@@fistoftulkas7335 If he can pull Todd. Why can't he pull John? And give him the Rematch he wanted. He clearly avoided him.

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Maybe they didn't get an agreement, happens all the time, i don't see the link between Voevoda pulling Todd/avoiding Brzenk, was Voevoda supposed to not pull anyone else but John? Plenty of supermatches still haven't happened and probably never will, especially between europeans and americans... Brzenk himself also never said Voevoda ducked him after 2004...

Because it was all Igor. Igor wouldnt want Alexey losing would he? Much better set alexey up with todd than John. Same reason we never saw Pushkar vs Chaffee match all those years. Igor could have made it happen but he didn't.

[@willstuart4504]

Lol ... The worst thing in the world for Semerenko in this match was when the Judges Pissed John Off... One thing I've noticed about watching nearly every single Brzenk match, is when John got "Mad" ...or .."Pissed"..during a match 😬 his opponents were Done before it began. He's the nicest guy in the world, but don't let that fool you, Brzenk has some serious FIRE burning within and every once in awhile some poor opponent would feel the wrath of that Fire. Simply the GOAT. Too bad Alexei Dodged John for the remainder of his days, because THIS Brzenk would have crushed him. And he knew it....

[@producermind9030]

Agree. Don’t piss him off. He goes up levels!! Goat!

[@barbraabsalom4531]

Semerenko did himself no favours by saying after the match that he was injured & would come back & beat John at a later date . In 2014 when John was 50 he never forgot semerenko’s arrogance & destroyed him again , foolish thing to do .
