Ron bath on the future of armwrestling kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJu3Ypucib2ZZ80

[@lachlanfortress4357]

Greg you have a gold mine# I want my armtv

[@armtv]

@@lachlanfortress4357 It is Gary...but thank you.

[@armtv]

@tubeinyou23 real close...Gary

[@eeshan1138]

This is pure gold Gary. This deserves way more number of views. Film an interview with Devon or get your channel promoted on his. Collab with Juji or other influencers so that your reach grows but this right here is without a shadow of a doubt, a fucking gold mine.

[@eastern2687]

My son watched Ron's testosterone scream after the win. Now he is my father.

[@bobbysweeney5377]

Watching John look at his opponent, transition, and go right through, has always been a thing of beauty. Ron is always a 110% effort, beast.

The Curious Case of Ron Bath

[@ashleynorton7666]

Haha, that is exactly what I was thinking!!

[@Ethernet480]

But he never aged

[@1969MARKETING]

yep. he was like 42 yrs old here. born in Feb. 1962

[@1969MARKETING]

@Federico Ugolotti he was born in 1962. there's another Ron Bath who is an actor and they put in the wrong picture :)

[@spirit29Eu]

Wow Ron here is probably in his peak, destroying Bagent and Brzenk on the same day

[@Remmaster]

Ron was surely on his peek!

[@QuietToproll]

I wouldn’t say destroying. Johns match was pretty good.

[@garnoldvo9229]

Destroyed Bagent, yes. Brzenk, not so much...still an awesome match between legends nevertheless

[@joec.5009]

john wasnt in his form in 2004. ron is a legend

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

This was definitely the best Ron Bath I've seen in any video. He cruised through most of the guys, and while John gave him a run, it just wasn't enough. Ron was not going to be denied this day.

[@ironbull2003]

This video is a gold mine!

[@dodododes]

yea how much did you mine already ?

[@gdogsgdogsgdogs]

Wait what? John got beat twice here? That’s crazy, I’ve never seen this before. Incredible footage

[@armtv]

it happened

[@ethrez]

John got beaten plenty of times. He once came to Senec hand as a legendary all star guest to participate, lost to Zivny, then to Tesarik and was out.

[@nvmffs]

nothing special

hes not in his prime

Ron was super strong he got good position on brzenk with that shoulder transition

[@shadapakap]

Wish it was best of 3 at least.

[@hypernova6580]

And john was still able to hold him for quite a while. Two absolute legends.

[@DS-zv5vf]

Thanks Gary for another awesome vid! Ron Bath is a class act and always fun to watch, and look at Travis...already such a promoter at this early time Many, many thanks! You keep us fans rolling

[@1digitalsmith]

i love how calm John B is !! cool as a cucumber no hard stink eye stares no yelling just smooth he's like a super race car

Respect to Ron for dealing with Travis’s bullcrap so well

Amazing performance by Ron. John always losing with class

[@vdveenusa]

One of the greatest moments in armwrestling.

What? That’s great news. I love it when that happens. Stick around... we got lots more!

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Ron is a LEGEND. So are ALL the guys on stage. Great show 💜

[@subirbiswas7632]

Brother , your presentation of videos is way better than that of Armbets Tv . The anchor of that channel is a partisan who tries to sell his equipment through his channel. He even deliberately misbehaved with the legend John Brzenk several times because Brzenk never liked training with ostentatious equipments . Your journey to million subscribers is not going to be long if you keep up like this . Love from India❤️

[@TimmyTurner421]

Why do you have to discredit the man like that? Igor Mazurenko has done more for armwrestling than anyone else. He's been doing Zloty Tur every year since 2000. Plus all the Vendetta supermatches and now the Top 8. Even though he has sponsors he still has to pay out of his own pocket. God forbid he's selling equipment to make some revenue. I don't care what anyone says Igor is great for the sport.

[@gurrac710]

@@TimmyTurner421 Agreed true said love Igor M for all he do for the sport and has done for armwrestling.

[@aspinaki]

@@TimmyTurner421 considering John is the greatest should not be any shame for Igor. Igor is a big promoter of arm-wrestling sport. we should acknowledge that.

yep 100 % sure .. Ron is of STILL good .. but John was just a wee bit better :D

Watch John brzenk very carefully he always focuses on the hands which is smartly done

[@Oscarji888]

Something very cool about mr Bath!

[@clash5j]

Bath has been a top puller almost as long as Brzenk. The difference is that there is no period where you can say Bath was the best in the world, while you can say that about John many times. However, there is no doubt that Bath is one of the greats.

[@randylawrence504]

Ron was a beast on this day fr. Travis always trying to cheat some type of way too.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

I think this is only 1 of 3 times ever that Bath beat Brzenk. I don't know if Bath ever beat him in a supermatch, but I know he did win against him a couple times in tournaments. They fought maybe a dozen times, and John won 90% of those.
