Brent Rakers vs Vaios Anthoulis - East vs West Challenger Series

[@BDSuperflyTNT]

Ditch the music after the match starts please. It'd be better to just listen to the commentary and the match. IMO

[@NuclearErrorBG]

I agree ,cant hear anything from the constant music blast!

[@Nenko_Music]

this is not music . this is a free loop on repeat probably ai generated. and yes it s too loud

[@mcfarvo]

Trying to cover copyright music on-location

[@pippyMC23]

if you bought the ppv, there may not have been any music, but im not sure. But I agree, I would much prefer just the commentary and the match with no music, for example every other east vs west

[@Nenko_Music]

@@mcfarvo sure. i understand that, The introduction of the athletes, but after that. it needs to be ducked down. and less repetitive. Or non existent -m a music producer I should offer my servicesmaybe -. It s a great event , it deserves good sound

[@RhinoViper]

The movement before go every single time was crazy....you could even see it in their faces the amount of pressure and movement well before go, hell, well before both hands even closed.

[@mfarisdanial3759]

no one was robbed in this match imo, the match had good potential but both athletes were moving way too much in the refs grip and foul starting.. pretty sure Rakers could've won if he was more careful with his elbow tho

[@bygoneera9521]

Or if that early start wasn’t allowed in the last round.

[@cwolf208]

@@bygoneera9521 A whole lot happened before that one.

[@LagiaArm]

Vaios clearly moved before the go in the last round???

[@LagiaArm]

Other than that, great match. They were pretty close that day, but the match should not have ended with that start

[@teo6616]

He did move sooner, clearly early start, Brent was also moving in the first rounds also.

[@JacobKost-Collins]

Brent is NOTORIOUS for going early and jumping the go. It's rare that he's second off the start. Regardless he's still a strong son of a gun.

[@Ghostwriter33]

@@JacobKost-Collinsbetter go early with the chance of getting away with it if you have room with fouls. That’s table iq

[@johnhawes2262]

Both of them were cheating like crazy. Brent’s elbow achieved liftoff at least twice and they never called it.

[@maxtout3248]

Brent is a Beast! Great match!

[@smokeykick]

Thanks again Chance!🇺🇸

[@TimNTL3]

I knew less of the people in the matches but somehow found it more entertaining than the regular East vs West.

[@RamblinAround]

Brent is certainly the stronger of the two, but this match was a mess all the way through. That looked like an obvious false start at the end, but Brent did get away with an elbow foul earlier too. It was just kind of a sloppy match.

[@Ghostwriter33]

This match is so good for those who want to know all aspects of competitive arm wrestling

[@lescrub8040]

I dont understand what was going through either refs mind that last round. Such an obvious false start.

[@bygoneera9521]

Very inconsistent if they checked the replay for the previous one. Frustrating.

[@CoachPlags]

Need to see more of Brent Rakers in EvW or even KOTT

[@Soulvex]

thanx for the uploads man.

[@ArmedAssociation]

Man people love to complain. Great production, music choice is perfect especially for copyright reasons, and what a tough match to ref given both opponents are loading and changing positions before the go. Last round Brent finally didn't load so it looked like Vaios false started but hard judge that if both have been loading and now Brent stopped loading or maybe missed the "go"?

[@johnnysmith4553]

I like to think of ot as constructive criticism 😂. This is perty new and not perfect. Very well done tho. I agree with tje music deal. I don't like to hear it all the way thru the match. Can't everyone happy. That's not gonna stop me from watching the next production.

[@rlnoble35]

damn huge elbow foul on Rakers...

[@rlnoble35]

anaaaaand a huge false start.

[@cwolf208]

Both guys are loading way before the go this first round every time. Good lord.

[@theangrypelican5270]

People complaining about refs hurting Rakers when they actually helpes him more lmao. Good win by Vaios.

[@chewytreyman]

23:16 "Don't move..." *Vaios hits* "...GO"

[@alenfishman9365]

What an excellent example of how the this sport is going to struggle to get huge... 8 mins before we got a pull... And it ends in a foul...

[@LagiaArm]

The fact that it ends with a foul is not an issue. But I agree that in the current state it takes way too long to start the pull , this is the sport in general, not just this promotion

[@alenfishman9365]

@@LagiaArm it ending in a foul is just the cherry. Perfect storm. Alot needs to change, it's getting unwatchable.

[@Ghostwriter33]

That’s the ‘combat’ part of arm wrestling. Fighting for grip /setup is 60% of winning at the very least in my estimation

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

@@Ghostwriter33 yea, us pullers know what's happening, casual watcher has no idea.

[@kwhite2399]

That last round is a joke! nowhere near the centre and Vaios jumped the go. Look where the assistant referees hand is at 23:17 his hand isover Vaios's pad!

[@theangrypelican5270]

Perfect start actually. And Rakers shouldnt load before every single go either and should have focused more on keeping his elbow down than trying to showboat. Great, well-deserved win by Vaios. Cry less.

[@kwhite2399]

@@theangrypelican5270 Perfect start only for Vaois. I don't care for who won, I was just stating the last round which proved to be the deciding round wasn't fair for Rakers. Also loading is fine on the starts it seems, just watch all the other uploaded matches from this event they're all loading.

[@justaguyfromreddit]

doesn't matter, it counts only the main ref

[@keithmichel9524]

What rules are they using ?

[@deeeeeeps]

Have to get rid of the "don't move" and just say Go when it's good. The "Don't move" basically means start moving.

[@Siberius-]

It almosttt feels like the wrong person won, except those elbows from Rakers were just not under control at all! (to an unreasonable degree), so I am happy with this result and feel Vaios is the right winner.

[@BlakeGibbons]

Great fight from both guys

[@ryanphillips5805]

karma is a bitch aint it.

[@3enjamin]

Brent looks way thicker, wider framewise. Hand size difference. He has very sticky defense in disadvantage position but whenever he attempt the pin, his elbow lift up high. On other side, the last round of Vaios doesn't look convincing either, that should be a foul start. Nice match, but the ending is.. meh. Both strong athletes but the match happened in a way that not fully expose both of their skills/strength.

[@theangrypelican5270]

Good start

[@countrycanadian44]

This Def needs a rematch both men were not happy at all

Mid match music needs to go, it does make a better live experience, but it ruins the vods/uploads of the matches. Also any new person watching will think that this stupid music would play during the live event aswell which would make them not want to buy a event at all.

Can we get some decent refs for these maybe? Could've been an entertaining match with 2 competent officials

How would you ref it different? Be more strict? It would end with fouls without a single pull. Clearly neither side was compromising nor obeying commands.

[@OBieWolfMan-v5g]

Another instance of the Houthis being delusional 😂🤣😂🤣

HORRIBLE refing on that one. and that last one was indeeed a false start.

[@dylancurbjumper]

17:14-17:18 elbow never went back on the pad :/ crazy the refs never caught that

They reviewed this round and awarded Brent the foul. Perhaps there should be more refs, one per each elbow and the top ref watching the slips, shoulders, and pins?
