@@zoltanvarga7187 I don't think John had to win his weight class to be classified in open category. Taras was also present in open category even though he didn't win it(I believe John won 95kg class but not sure). Fight between John and Alexey wasn't last of the tournament. The final match was Voevoda against Matt Grindner despite the story presented in Pulling John movie. Matt had beaten Travis and (not sure) John in open category. These facts wasn't dramatic enough so producers had to make some tricks during the production process to make movie interesting enough for the audience :-)

He beat a worn out John to be fair. Tara's brzenk took some out. But a fresh big John in a vendetta mite of gone different

How Devon Larratt should've trained in Canada for Levan at 0:45

instead he pulling local bums at garage sales lol

[@ibtihajhussain7467]

He has been arm wrestling for decades and been no 1 left and right, beating john, oleg and puskar and travis, do you think you know more than him or know better than him

[@pallin2198]

Not quite in John's prime but Alexey was definitely as strong as the title makes him sound. 2006 John would've killed him imo

[@random_birch_forest]

Not really, Alexey was 24 in 2004 and only growing in strength and experience. No way Brzenk would have beaten him in 2006

[@pallin2198]

@@random_birch_forest that's nice but 2006 Brzenk was a tank, Brzenk all day

[@oscarjsm24]

Bro was roided only way someone can beat John
