AWC3: John Therrien vs Artem Taranenko Full Match

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

Surprised by how back and forth this was. Loved it. Awesome work from both. Looking forward to watching them for years to come!

[@xbeez3543]

I mean, the first round it looked like John just messed up on timing and got caught by suprise, I think he was in control most of the fight, Artem is really good but you clearly see John this time came prepped and overpowered him almost the whole match. Watch the last match for reference, Artem seemed to be a little more in control that time. John only lost to a few fouls wich doesn't happen to him often lol Artem just got sneaky and worked with the only thing he had to work with lol

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

@@xbeez3543 sounds like a fair assessment. I think they looked closely matched though. If artem worked on some specific things it could go the other way

@@sebastiansullivan4770 Forsure! Great match either way. Both guys are beasts but only one is a Savage 😎 lol Pretty sure they are 1-1 now

Been waiting for this one! Cool to see Milne up there, he isn't the biggest name but he is still a legend. Glad he is getting some work from his knowledge in the sport.

John Therrien is one of my favorite new pullers in the international scene. Fun guy, really powerful. Great match.

[@ThePress88]

Man that was a good match, grateful to see it live thx @awcchapionships!!!!💪💪💪💪💪

[@oldmanarmwrestling]

Therrien is a beast. I shook his hand once. It was like shaking hands with a shot put shot.

[@frtggfghjjj7883]

His thumb size is incredible tho, I train with him and I can't get through it

[@dylancurbjumper]

This was an awesome match to watch. Really demonstrates the power of the setup and the buckle. But damn, Therrien's hand is way outside his shoulder when he goes for that hook press

[@maximus41razer]

Great match hats off to both beasts!

[@Airestotle09]

Artem just gassed out And incredible stamina from Therrien

[@joestumpin]

What?? Less than 10 comments?? C'mon, this is more explosive than ArmWars + EvsW + KoTT!! I'm tellin' ya, Artem, Bowen, Devon...in that particular order, as simple as ABD ya'll!

[@xbeez3543]

No way John gets a second foul on that third round after he CLEARLY pinned Artem TWICE. Look for the thump on artems hand, it hits the pad two times i swear to god. I think even John seen it, thats why I think he shook his head before he was fouled. But he pushed through and got a well deserved win

[@harvey_weenstain8857]

10:22 what a fart by Artem! Clearly hes never been to prison

Great match!

Uncle Jon did a awesome job commentating as always. for some reason I was thinking john 3-0'd Artem lol. But i was definitely wrong lol. What a awesome match. Could've went either way and would be awesome to see them go at it again next year 💪

Artem has reached his peak juice limits, he either he becomes a smaller guy again or he sticks to left handed matches

[@cainzking]

I like how UJ jinxed the ref at 2:22. I've heard he still can't speak cos nobody knows his full name.

[@abhishekprimus]

Bring those referees to east vs west....

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

Yes please so we don't have to listen to a certain person yelling elbow

[@TheUnchainedMind]

Some of those elbow foul calls were bullshit. If there's no position gained, there should be no way in hell the guy on the winning side gets fouled out for barely sliding off the edge for a fraction of a second. It just takes a great round and completely ruins it. Either add more fouls or make the rules less strict.

[@thetrajohnson]

Or keep your elbow on the pad....

[@kodybyrdarmwrestling1767]

Or, hear me out, they keep their elbows on the pads...

[@Chris_Ireland]

The elbow never left the pad on the 3rd round. The ref is blind or just terrible at his job. I'm thinking both

[@christopherpage8942]

1) the calls were solid, you shouldn't be given the win if you need to slide your elbow 1" off the pad to get the pin. 2) John won anyway 3) That's why WAL had bigger pads and three fouls to make it better for TV.

[@Chris_Ireland]

@christopherpage8942 u are just as blind as the ref, his elbow never left the pad. Thanks for explaining armwrestling, only been into the sport for last 11 years. Thanks bro

[@stephthehuntress2222]

Those elbow fouls 🤔 second match 7:33 and 7:38 John should of never lost, his opponent had two elbow fouls before they called Therrien on his for the lost. Hats off to the ref's because withought them the match's wouldn't exist and I can just imagine the shit they have to deal with but sometime's I wonder if they are actually watching the elbows or are they starring at the hands cause I caught those elbow fouls 🤷‍♀️

@@the_savage_therrien anyone can lay on their side and wait their opponent out. Do some more roids may help that non-existent form you have. It's arm wrestling not body but if you can't hang in one area you have to cheat in others.

@@jacobmarkus4154 you have no clue what your saying lol . Artem is definitely the one juicing that’s why he burned out so fast . You can definitely use your body in armwrestling .
