  1. Next video: DEVON MADE A MISTAKE Next video: LEVAN IS DONE Next video: DEVON IS SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS.
    213
  2. Brian vs Eddie legit serious supermatch at KOT in US in December would be really cool. Then next year Brian starts taking on arm wrestlers
    150
  3. This video is a bit misleading. Once Matt started to go offensive he went through him. But it’s just practice.
    92
  4. Great question. You can say what you want about Devon. But you can’t say he whines or quits. It was inspiring to see him not even flinch and put his career on the line against a titan after that injury. He never had backwards step.
    65
  5. Ermes didn’t know to train his riser or pronation and wrist like he did for Vitaly until after Devon match. He would still need to experience that with Devon to address his weakness.
    60
  6. His body is gonna soak up the carbs when he loads back up. He’s gonna be freaky on match day and dwarf Petrenko.
    44
  7. The fact Devon is less than 2 weeks from the biggest match of his life where his arm was trashed and he’s actively losing weight it’s impressive Devon stopped him.
    38
  8. While starting at pin pad lol.
    36
  9. You left the funniest part out. After Devon said his dad is dead Eddie responded “it’s makes no difference to me”
    34
  10. Genadi? No
    33
  11. It’ll be good for him.
    26
  12. He must be way lighter than 115 in that pic. He doesn’t have 10kg of water to lose.
    21
  13. Levan will be in much better shape this match. 4-0. I’m hoping Ermes does something tho.
    19
  14. Clean would be the elbow staying on the inside of his leg to expose the arm and stabilizing muscles. But still ridiculous
    18
  15. I think it’s funny that Engin is always getting involved in any drama between the athletes and often countering Devon. The drama is good for the hype/entertainment. Especially the Ermes and Levan drama.
    18
  16. Michaels riser lift is a riser lift with pronation. It still hits rise and better applicable for his style.
    17
  17. As long as his shoulder is above it’s totally fine. Up to his opponent to figure it out and I actually enjoy watching that struggle. His match with Kamil was intense. His press is also back.
    16
  18. I think this match is gonna be an absolute war.
    15
  19. Bro prob nothing has changed regarding gear for him. What has changed is his stomach issues are gone. He can now eat a ton and gain weight. That’s prob all that’s changed. That’s also the most important factor in gaining weight.
    15
  20. Levan is stronger and healthier. There is absolutely zero indication that he’s weaker.
    15
  21. Devon is pulling left. Maybe he will step in right arm? He’s over 260 rn
    15
  22. Auden is getting huge. His arm and hand has gotten way bigger
    14
  23.  @kebub1  Leo and Larry would demolish Brian
    13
  24. Funny everyone correcting you. Of course its lbs. Lol.
    13
  25. If Devon wins fairly convincingly knowing Levan wasn’t quite 100% it’ll set up an ever BIGGER match for them next time.
    13
  26. Vitaly match will be in May
    12
  27.  @aaronmbaye6498  not true. Devon was supposed to pull a left arm match in March in Texas which was supposed to be Morozov but he’s injured. Right arm with Vitaly would be May event and is already in the works. Vitaly cannot get visa to come to USA.
    12
  28. Good analysis. Levan also rows back his shoulder. His riser/pronator also gave just a bit like you said. Elbow flexor gave too. Uh oh.
    12
  29. @1:15 if Brian would allow his left leg to go under the table and take his weight off of it while hitting outside it would make a major difference. He’s blocking himself and not utilizing his weight.
    12
  30. Not really. It’s left arm. The only way this changes anything is if Devon started training his left which he probably isn’t.
    12
  31. If I want to watch it alive what do I do?
    12
  32. Yes rules say wrist must be straight
    11
  33. Never beat any version of Devon. But I think he’s got a good shot.
    11
  34. But the PPV so you can watch it alive.
    10
  35. Maybe just maybe because he doesn’t think Ermes can beat em. He’s giving his opinion.
    10
  36. Where was Devon mentioned in this video?
    10
  37. This is not how Devon pulled Jerry. He got his hand high punched up into a high hook. He didn’t do a low grip hook.
    10
  38. Lol. “Ermes is levels stronger than Devon, he crushed Genadi and stopped Levan. He will crush Devon” Devon wins dominantly “Devon is overrated he can’t even beat Genadi”
    9
  39. Doesn’t mean anything really. It’s right arm and Kamil politely stopped pulling realizing Vitaly was just holding while he hit. He even said “i thought he was going to….” As if he thought Vitaly was gonna hit too.
    9
  40. Well Levan outta just retire then
    9
  41. Why should he accept in May when he’s pulling at end of March? They would have already pulled if Vitaly wasn’t busy losing to Dave in 2022 and Ermes in 2023.
    9
  42. Devon’s math is horrible lol. His last left arm supermatch he trained for was sept 2019 Wagner. Less than 5 years ago lol. He said he started back training his left a month after Levan. That’s 4.5 years.
    8
  43. Today no he wouldn’t. Not without losing his pronation which is the point of the lift.
    8
  44.  @jethrotool4828 Devon has also said he made critical errors in his training and mindset for the match. That has also changed.
    8
  45.  @khawal-y6d to be fair I haven’t seen anyone make excuses for MMT when he loses. However, I have seen people complain when he wins even when it’s within the rules. So I would bet $ there will me more complaining if MMT wins than if he loses.
    8
  46. Nobody gonna mention Alex’s match being fake?
    8
  47. Jerry hook presses him to the pad
    7
  48. lol. Def not. Todd was dropping sweat and arm blown up. You can’t script a match without it being obvious. It’s just not something you can fake.
    7
  49. Devon’s left trained and peak like his right arm he definitely has a chance against anyone left arm. Especially someone who hasn’t show a good ability to press.
    7
  50. There have been bets made on Armbet based on best of 5 rules. Changing the rules now after bets Devon will have to void the bets now
    7
  51. Georgi, Denis and Dave weren’t SHW?
    7
  52. What? Jerry earned a match with Levan based on rankings. Ermes flop didn’t play into that at all.
    7
  53. He hasn’t been training with a club or pulling for almost a year. A couple months at best.
    7
  54. So which is it? Levan needs to pull more or just keep having everyone else pull each other?
    6
  55. Yeah people just don’t get it. Brian hasn’t even had an actual match. He’s not a competitive arm wrestler yet either. I said early on his first match should be Eddie. Eddie actually looked technically better on the table in their practices. Plus all the hype and build up getting new eyes to buy the ppv. They purchase to see Eddie and Brian, but end up watching the whole event and get hooked. Great opportunity and it’ll be entertaining. People that don’t support these type of matches must want the sport to stay underground. We will also get to see if Brian has improved technically or not.
    6
  56.  @SveinPeder try to shoulder committed hook someone with a torn bicep. See how it goes.
    6
  57. That riser lift is insanely impressive.
    6
  58. Shouldn’t. Bets have been made on best of 5.
    6
  59.  @mence5992 his arm angle is 90 and elbow flexor barely gives.
    6
  60. Yeah. It’s not looking good at all IMO. He only has 2 months to really push the training before taper. Not ideal. If it lingers there’s no way he can be his absolute best. He really needed 3-4 months of solid training
    6
  61.  @SDSen  yep but he doesn’t have the desire or drive
    6
  62. Well I don’t wanna watch while dead so I’ll buy the ppv so I can watch it alive. 😂
    6
  63.  @hawaiidispenser  how do you know Devon truly believed he was going to win? Psychic abilities?
    6
  64. You’re supposed to lock the arm close to parallel and lean back to lift. Which is what he did. Isolating wrist. No active bicep contraction like a curl. And the further extended out the arm is (hand away from the body) the harder the lift. Bent over right above the weight with a tight arm angle actually makes it a little easier. Both lifts are fine but Mike def isn’t doing it wrong. It’ll translate directly into his style.
    6
  65. RVJ vs Lachlan is more of a match
    6
  66.  justusgray276  he looks flat, carb depleted and tired. Looked like he was gonna pass out at any moment in Brian’s videos. Voice sounded weak too. Just my observations.
    6
  67. Only way to beat Devon if you’re not Levan is having a fast flop press off the go. Has Vitaly even pressed??? I agree Ermes styles make matches, Vitalys style is not the way to beat Devon.
    5
  68.  @L.o.u.i.s.. doing his lift isn’t the way to beat him.
    5
  69. Yeah it’s ridiculously CHEAP!! Around a dozen top level matches (which is something we’ve never had before in the sport) for less than $2 per match. I was buying UFC ppv’s with 5 fights for over $50 back in 2008-2011. Were spoiled.
    5
  70. If he beats the other contenders he would be worthy regardless of weight.
    5
  71. People forget Prudnick is was in the top 5-10 in the world in supers before KOT and EVW came about. And until he injured his arm against Devon and backed off the gas he demonstrated that.
    5
  72. Humbled? Dudes arm fell apart and took many losses including his mom. Dont think he needs to be humbled.
    5
  73. Let’s wait until we see a healthy Jerry against a really good form of Alex.
    4
  74.  @marLamaDeo  Ermes has only pulled 3 matches in like 21 months on his right arm. 5 in last 2 years. 6 if you include his left arm match with Alozhan. Devon has pulled 9 right arm and like 16-17 if you include his left.
    4
  75. That thin strap looked painful
    4
  76.  @Madmax.3 before the torn bicep
    4
  77. Probably because he thinks Mike won’t be any different than last time. It’s hard to worry about a guy you beat handily
    4
  78. 60 year old Ron looks better and is built better than most 20-30 year olds.
    4
  79. Devon’s body can’t handle it. It broke both matches. His arm and then his back.
    4
  80. If Eddie just slipped and went to straps it was his to win. He really helped Brian by holding on.
    4
  81. You talking their left arm match? Devon was literally playing the first couple rounds until his untrained left blew up. Pinned Georgi like 4x in first 2 rounds. Weird restarts.
    4
  82. @ Whether Devon pulls him in May or August it doesn’t matter nor does it prove anything about Vitaly being overrated or not.
    4
  83. 😂
    4
  84. I really think this match could look like Devon vs Prudnick. Devon opens with kings and burns out the wrist. Then in next start holds center and comes forward.
    4
  85. @ gripping Jerry to low will be a mistake. Jerry goes for a wrist curl press off go. You will be going right into his power. Is Devon purposely lying here about how he pulled Jerry to set Levan up? Who knows. It’s interesting
    4
  86. Lol. It’s sarcasm. Nothing serious.
    4
  87. Devon with just a couple weeks of refeed and a little training his power coming back. Still only 110kg
    4
  88. @ he was ranked well before EVW. If I remember correctly, he was ranked around #6 in the world rankings during top 8. Doesn’t matter what we think he was ranked in the official world rankings.
    4
  89. Its not even on the peak of his bicep
    4
  90. Yeah if you’re speaking on developing the skills to swim or arm wrestle, riding a bike won’t help with that. But getting yourself in better cardiovascular shape by doing aerobic exercise will help overall athletic performance. To say otherwise is just wrong.
    4
  91. Nothing about fanboy or hater. He’s done it in the past.
    4
  92. And wrist went PAP
    4
  93. If Devon wins at all that’ll setup a huge rematch. But I’d like to see Levan run through the other contenders while Devon drops to 115 and to get 105 then Devon comes back up to defend in a rematch.
    3
  94. Nobody can beat Brain Show
    3
  95. He’s talking about Levan at the end!!!!
    3
  96. It’s funny because Devon was right. Many People were picking Denis to beat Devon prior to the match. Devon said he will beat Denis so bad people will think of him as a has been. Me personally, I think when he pulled Devon he was #2 in the world (in Levans absence)
    3
  97. That was Eddies match to win if he wasn’t holding on. He should have slipped and went to straps. He really helped Brian by holding onto Brian.
    3
  98. All that needs to happen for Devon to return to supers is if he dominates the categories. He will have no opponents otherwise.
    3
  99. Yeah I don’t think Levan will get a round either.
    3
  100.  @Darkwatershooker  y’all are nuts lol. He’s never really trained pronation.
    3
  101.  @kebub1  they looked pretty close in practice.
    3
  102.  @djhh83 hopefully Levan won’t have the benefit of Jerry being in hospital with pneumonia before the match and still on meds.
    3
  103. @ no but Devon runs Armbet. It’s on him. If he agrees to a rule change then that should void all the bets on Armbet.
    3
  104.  @ElFinoRojas I’m a big Devon fan. He got me into the sport when he collabed with Juji. He was pure entertainment in WAL. But it’s different now. He’s like a raging rabid dog foaming out of the mouth up there. Something is different with him.
    3
  105. Devon was 285 for Genadi last time. I remember he even weighed at home on his scale on video at like 290+ clothed. He appears bigger now just by lookin at his face.
    3
  106. Yeah he seemed thin and flat going into that match. His right arm seemed to be getting smaller. Looked nothing like he does now.
    3
  107. I don’t think Devon needs to get too big. He was really big for Genadi and gassed out.
    3
  108. Looked like he felt something
    3
  109.  @betofernandez5524  it was never parallel to the floor. It’s always been slightly angled up by a few degrees. It’s just now his elbow isn’t opening up when he lifts. And BTW Devon’s wrist and pronator doesn’t even move a bit while both Ermes and Levans drops and opens slightly.
    3
  110. They screwed Mike round 4. He was climbing and getting closer and closer to wedge in. Mikes wrist was well above the pad. His arm hit the pad. Why no reviews at this level is beyond me
    3
  111. Let’s be for real. Devon over exaggerates his “big belly”. He’s in pretty good shape and lean for a 300lb 50 year old. I guarantee he will look monstrous on stage.
    3
  112. Artem was a replacement for Minde. Artem was peaked here. But yes Auden would lost to Minde.
    3
  113.  @tallpaulhutchensjr.  yeah Devon should already be gaining in training and better than before. It’s sad because for the past year he’s consistently gained and now the biggest match of his life and he has chronic respiratory illnesss
    3
  114. Levan 4/0 easier than last time.
    3
  115. Larry at the beginning not last couple years. Larry much more fluid and technically sound than Brian rn
    3
  116. He has just as good of a shot as anyone else. I hope both Levan and Jerry are 100% healthy and peaked. It’s also in NA.
    3
  117. This is a sarcastic channel
    3
  118. I haven’t heard anyone give an objective answer to why it’s illegal if the elbow is on the pad. Everyone says “it’s ugly” “it’s a move for pansies” etc. if you have to pin the arm to the pin pad to win and the elbow stays on the pad, why is it illegal?
    3
  119. Before the match: “Devon is avoiding Vitaly. Vitaly will crush Devon” Same people after Devon wins: “Well Vitaly was overrated, he lost to Ermes.”
    3
  120. Ryan is a 95kg guy. I knew Ron would win. His frame is too big. He’s a true heavyweight.
    3
  121. 💯
    2
  122. Yes difference. Devon’s wrist is kicked back and Levan rows back with his shoulder. Levans riser/pronation also gives just slightly.
    2
  123.  @ancapgrandscribe9546  dude it’s all in this video. Obvious. Oh and his elbow flexor also gave some.
    2
  124.  @umer597  lol. Just wait, if Devon beats Levan it’ll be “Devon isn’t number 1 he can’t even beat Genadi” 😂
    2
  125. We sure Ermes has a stronger bicep and arm than Devon???? Doesn’t look like it comparing this lift.
    2
  126. @ spot on
    2
  127.  @nickthetoycollector3360  he needs more mass and his body not to fail or break. That’s happened both times, bicep tear and then his back/body turning on him during prep. I personally think he would have done even better in fall of 2023 against Levan as he seemed healthier. He also had like a 1-2 month bout of pneumonia before his 2 month camp. Things haven’t aligned for him and they must align for him to do it.
    2
  128. Way off. This is clean.
    2
  129.  @xx-toodirty4you_xx829  he hasn’t kingsmoved since round 1 first start against Prudnick. Backpressure looked very strong against Ermes and Denis. BTW his open toproll is a strategic move not because he can’t do anything else.
    2
  130. It will look like John vs Oleg. Or similar. It will end up Oleg losing his hand and trying to press.
    2
  131.  @GhostDivisionBlitzkrieg Devon was barely 120 for that match. He was very thin and going into the match he didn’t look good IMO. Remember how flat and beat up his right arm looked when he arrived in Instanbul? He looks completely different now. Arm looks full.
    2
  132. If your pronator gives a bit and arm angle opens up that much it’s a failed lift. Interesting that Devon can’t bicep curl a lot of weight but his arm barely opens up during this lift while Leo’s and for example even Ermes’ opens up. They both also drag/shrug the weight with their tricep ending up on top of their leg. This tells me that Devon actually has more applicable backpressure with pronation on the table.
    2
  133. They will pull again someday. Devon has said he owes him a match.
    2
  134. Denis was an arm wrestler before strongman.
    2
  135.  @Jdm5299 bingo
    2
  136.  @darceytim  exactly. You get it.
    2
  137. He was running and hiding while Vitaly was losing to Dave and Ermes? Lol
    2
  138. Devon went the extreme route with weight loss. Devon’s physique never changed much over the years aside from the KOT1 match. He’s always been a tall athletic lean guy.
    2
  139. So we’re gonna see Devon vs Levan on a freedom table. Maybe Arm Sumo? That’s what I understood it as. “Kings move allowed” “shoulder crossed the line”
    2
  140.  @LancexBianito  it’s not just about gym lifts. It is possible to be stronger and better on the table without having higher gym lifts.
    2
  141.  @crazyasieverwas  if he was pulling Kamil you’d probably say he was running from someone else.
    2
  142.  @Jose2185-w4x oh the mythical full time Vitaly. Lmao. Basing such a strong opinion on speculation.
    2
  143. 😂😂
    2
  144. That’s only if you believe what he’s saying about his weight.
    2
  145. @ sure he was solid but that was also a Dave who was getting progressively worse. And against Devon Dave had a strap and Devon pulls slow and plays. But he’s been losing so why would Devon need to pull him? Same goes for Kamil with right arm. He just needs to pull Vitaly, rematch Ermes and maybe pull Jerry instead of Alex since Jerry smoked Alex.
    2
  146. Tendon got weaker? Devon said it was a partial mid bicep muscle tear.
    2
  147. It’s not a bone lock. It’s tendons. Mikes surgeon said that his arm fully extended no problem under anesthesia
    2
  148. All riser lifts involve elbow flexion. In order to utilize rise on the table you apply elbow flexion. It’s the pressure on the rise that limits his ability to lift it. We know he can lift this weight with the pronation lift so it’s not an elbow flexion problem.
    2
  149. Just like round 4 of their last match
    2
  150.  @snsdkbopper7819 Levan over powers everyone so why not? It’s just an extra bonus match and we get to see Levan finally pull on the left. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to watch that.
    2
  151. @michaelbilotta1567look at the strap placement. Mikes strap is over the back of his hand and right on his wrist. It’s not running down the arm. That makes it much harder. Mikes lift is a bit different in a few areas, but overall it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing. To even start to compare it with o Genadi’s joke of a lift is ridiculous. And at the end of the day it’s 200lbs!!!! His pronation is not failing either.
    2
  152.  @mence5992  he lost his wrist to Devon because of Devon’s incredible hand and pronator. He 4-0’d the best version of Devon who had separated himself from everyone else. I predict he 4-0’s Ermes worse than last time. Unless Devon wasn’t actually at his best.
    2
  153. Bro you actually believe he’s 277 rn? Probably believed he was 256 like him and Matt said before Mike Todd match.
    2
  154.  @crazyasieverwas  I think hes less of his man crush and more of your obsession. You’re the only person to mention him.
    2
  155. I don’t remember him saying that. I remember he said he will be a little bigger than he was against Mike and right now he’s a little bigger than he was before his cut which was 273.
    2
  156.  @DovesDescent  I know it’s his rule. I’m aware. I just disagree with it. And the reasoning behind it “it’s not arm wrestling”.
    2
  157. Yet Vitaly doesn’t use that advantage. Ermes was able to get the high ground on him. Devon destroys Vitaly in the setup IMO. Vitaly will drop his riser some and Devon will be able to have his arm completely vertical.
    2
  158. I think he meant it’s not the same as his left hand.
    1
  159.  @joncen2658 lol. Yeah right
    1
  160.  @leonardotheuseless4188  what i meant was he last trained for Wagner.
    1
  161.  @smg7187  yeah. That’s what I meant. He started training his left again a month after Levan. So not training his left 4.5 years.
    1
  162.  @ArmoredG  I edited it.
    1
  163.  @Cheesefield77  he has said on humorous occasions he last trained his left for Wagner.
    1
  164.  @compton7833 in an official supermatch???
    1
  165. Yeah and the strap is all on his hand. Not even close to his forearm. Crazy.
    1
  166. He needs to get used to letting his legs go all the way under and take weight off his legs allowing his arm connection to hold himself up. He stands too high. He’s not that much taller than Devon. When Devon toprolls his legs go all the way under and feet come off the ground like in round 2 against Ermes. Standing straight up and toprolling is awkward.
    1
  167.  @Stance1988  what? What does your comment have to do with mine?
    1
  168. Gary was putting the beat down on Devon in that video. Pure torture lol.
    1
  169. He’s probably 242-245 rn just trolling.
    1
  170. Yeah Ermes is supposed to have a stronger arm and bicep yet his arm opened up a lot here. Used drag too.
    1
  171. He at least should have faked the same effort the first attempt lol.
    1
  172. Dude. Devon peaked for Denis 4 weeks prior and it was a big emotional victory. He didn’t peak for Georgi just rehabed. Same deal with Ermes after pulling Jerry and facing Devon. Except Devon is so good it didn’t matter. He still dominated 6-0 no excuses needed. He was just simply explaining that his previous best was Denis and how he compares now to then instead of comparing to his previous match with Georgi.
    1
  173.  @lorenzobellistri8839  I’ve yet to see a backpressure lift from Ermes where he maintains his arm angle.
    1
  174. Makes perfect sense that’s it is Eddie. Brian isn’t an arm wrestler either yet. It’ll be a good show and we know they’ve been close in practice. What we will be able to see is if Brian’s technique has improved or not.
    1
  175. Anyone who actually arm wrestles and understands it and who is objective knows that pull in the car is as actually close.
    1
  176. That was a SLIP against Revaz!!!!! Straps could have changed things and we know Revaz gasses quick.
    1
  177. I dunno Jerry gets better as the match goes on.
    1
  178. None of Devons singles are true maxes either.

  179. Devon’s face looks fuller.

  180. @louisolivierfortin please enlighten me. How is this a “leg assisted angled one handed deadlift”?
    1
  181. @ genadis arm was basically pointed straight down and he stood up with it. Lol.
    1
  182.  @stevenlake5278  yeah and if the elbow remains on the inside of the leg instead of supported by the leg it’s a harder lift. It reduces drag and back muscles and better isolates the arm. Either way it’s impressive to lift over 180lbs like that.

  183.  @xx-toodirty4you_xx829 Devon doesn’t have strong backpressure? 😂
    1
  184. RVJ gonna beat em
    1
  185. Devon should have just pinned him round 1.
    1
  186.  @Henry_Nehring Devon has had a much more physically demanding life. It would make sense his body is more beat up. He was a breacher in special forces doing 7 tours.
    1
  187. Yordan was a replacement match. I think they asked him since his teammate was already coming.
    1
  188. Are you actually arm wrestling with a club?
    1
  189. Devon couldn’t yet lift heavy weights during his prep for Genadi. Only Table time.
    1
  190.  @stoneeh  “old Ermes with a proper training camp….” Very bold statement. Wasn’t even a close match when just 4 weeks prior he was in the best shape of his life. Youre statement may have merit if it was a super close match but it wasn’t. Not even in the same ballpark. Ermes has also said himself he completely changed his training and focus after Devon match. That’s because Devon exposed his weakness
    1
  191.  @stoneeh  Devon hand picks his opponents? Lol. Denis called him out. And Devon was supposed to rematch Genadi, Genadi got hurt, so then he offered to Denis, Denis said no, and then he agreed to pull Morozov, Morozov backed out. Then he said either Jerry or Ermes. Vitaly already had a match booked. Devon literally was willing to pull ANYONE. Now we know after that comment that your personal vendetta against Devon is effecting your ability to give an objective opinion.

  192.  @jasonslovak4766 not until after he cracked that wrist. Devon also started at the pin pad
    1
  193.  @Svein-o4s  I believe he was bigger than that. He openly talked about it leading up to the match and weighed himself close to 294 fully clothed. He was huge leading up to the match. The EVW scorecard said he was 275 but they didn’t do any weigh ins.
    1
  194. He’s also bicep curling and lifting less weight. Unless he’s purposely showing lighter lifts and not showing us the real lifts, he’s in trouble. If he’s not as strong as last time that previous form of Devon would have a chance. This level of Devon may kill ‘em if he’s not as strong as before.
    1
  195.  @AbissoSTG6168 speculation.
    1
  196. @ in that match specifically Devon’s style was just fine. He blocked genadis press several times. He just gassed. He goes inside against pressers. Round 2 and 3 he blocked genadis press. Round 4 he did get screwed in the setup. Round 5 he blocked the press again but gassed.
    1
  197.  @TheManaLord  pads didn’t make a difference as Devon came forward and pressed
    1
  198. No pin
    1
  199. Except he can’t anymore without being fouled.
    1
  200.  @Ak-qn9qc  it’s not that simple man. We know he had problems gaining weight and stomach issues. He’s openly talked about it. He has said that issue has been fixed. He can eat more and is healthier thus his body is responding and growing. He may have been “roiding” just as hard or harder during his Levan prep.
    1
  201. Denis outta accept and act like he’s excited. Then just lay down. Mic drop
    1
  202. Well let’s just hope he doesn’t get hurt like Devon has the past two times. Bicep then his back. (No im not making excuses, Devon lost). If somebody can really push him early like Devon did but stay 100% and sustain that, that’s what it’s going to take for it to just be close enough to possibly win.
    1
  203. Yoshi very impressive. After a decade lay off. Dude. He might be the guy at 95kg.
    1
  204. They didn’t replay that round.
    1
  205. I want to watch KOT11 alive. What should I do?
    1
  206. lol. Devon wasn’t even weight training for that match and still should have 3-0’d the guy before endurance was even a factor.
    1
  207.  @mk5rob42  lol. Calling me a liar. Dude Devon did only table time for that match. He couldn’t lift heavy weights like he did for Ermes and Denis due to his bicep still bothering him when he tried. It’s all on his channel. Youre speculating about what genadi would have or wouldn’t done. I’m using what actually happened to say 3-0. Devon wins round 1, round 2 and ends with with a flash pin round 3. Devon beat genadi round 2 in his power when he wasn’t even training weights or inside game. Just table time. Also if the refs are stricter with shoulders square and not pressing before the go Genadi really doesn’t have a chance. Round 4 the refs fouled devon and forced him to square his shoulders while genadi was in a Kamil style full press position before the go and also false started. Genadi also said that was his best version ever of himself. That wasn’t Devon’s best version. I hope genadi can get back to that form and they do pull again.

  208.  @catraaa5261  most def fake and acting. The shaking and weird positions. Yes acting.
    1
  209.  @catraaa5261  not the afterpull being fake. Alex’s actual match in the event.
    1
  210.  @dachiithebedoshvili  which is what Devon targets in all of his matches with his pronation.
    1
  211. Well there’s a pink hat with it ar the end.
    1
  212. Non comparable to a bicep curl. This movement replicates the pressure on the table. On the table you also use your body in this way. While a swinging bicep curl does not replicate table pressure.
    1
  213.  @edgaralanpoe2808 Revaz? Lol. That guy can’t win a match
    1
  214.  @khawal-y6d  opinion.
    1
  215.  @Roto1414  why keep the peace? Are they threatening to kill each other? Lol. Let the guys go back and forth and bring emotion into it. As long as nobody is threatening death or the physically harm someone, let the men deal with it. Sport needs more emotion with athletes and fans. Just look at EVW10 and the electricity that was on that stage during Devon vs Denis.
    1
  216. Brian and Brandon didn’t pull on the right. Real matches are also different than slow practice pulls.
    1
  217. The funniest part was left out. After Devon said his dad was dead, Eddie said it doesn’t make any difference to him lol
    1
  218. Can’t believe you haven’t done a video about Donald Trump Jr destroying Devon in arm wrestling a few weeks ago.
    1
  219. Well you were right.
    1
  220.  @sm6086  the hand is the connection so the more pressure that’s applied further out on the end of the hand the harder the lift is. This is why the closer the strap is to the arm the more weight that can be lifted. Elbow flexion alone isn’t the reason why he’s failing this lift. It’s the pressure on the end of the hand. Which is the point of the lift.
    1
  221.  @bigjmma6797  more of a hit than a push
    1
  222. Genadi Kvikvinia: Genadi Kvikvinia
    1
  223.  @KILLzone_565 the problem is he has zero weight to lose while at 265-270. He’s super lean. He has more muscle than he did back in heavyweight WAL days. His walk around daily weight is closer to 270. He always weighs himself morning stripped.
    1
  224. @ well Devon would be pulling Genadi as well it seems as his primary match. The Levan match lefty seems like it would just be bonus. Neither has been active left so there isn’t really much on the line. If anything Devon’s left is probably closer to form than Levans is so that could make it interesting. I’m with you on the genadi match tho. That should take priority. If he pulls Levan as a bonus it should be after the right arm match with genadi.
    1
  225. @ again we’re talking 200lbs. He’s well past everyone else. And there are aspects of his lift that are harder and make even a bigger difference that elbow placement and that’s strap placement. The strap is directly over the back of his hand when the weight breaks the floor. Whereas with other guys the strap is running down the arm. We can critique and pick apart everyone’s lift, but to deem his as not impressive is just wrong.
    1
  226. Except Morozov’s riser was completely dumped 😮
    1
  227. Maybe just maybe because he doesn’t think Ermes can do it. He’s giving his opinion. You may disagree but just because he has a different opinion doesn’t mean it’s disrespectful
    1
  228. @ it doesn’t matter that Mike and Ermes have a match before the potential match with Levan. He thinks Mike will beat Ermes and is the best to beat Levan. Nothing disrespectful about that. He’s also disregarding the Jerry vs Levan match. Mike or Emees could be pulling Jerry next year for the title. It’s not disrespectful to Jerry, it’s just Devon thinks Mike has the best chance of them all to do it. He’s asked who has the best shot, he says Mike. Nothing disrespectful about it.
    1
  229.  @AbissoSTG6168  sure. Im curious. Who do you think out of all the athletes have the best chance at beating Levan?
    1
  230.  @AbissoSTG6168  well wait now. Are you being disrespectful to Michael by not mentioning him?
    1
  231. Why? Isn’t everyone on social media the ones saying Brian will challenge Levan.
    1
  232. Master class mind games. Got Petrenko guessing.
    1
  233. And starting at pin pad. Devon’s left when trained is lethal. He will beat guys who rely on their cup.
    1
  234.  @Milo-Mike  I really didn’t know. Devon’s left is hit or miss.
    1
  235.  @ZaneGeeting  “you people” bro. Ermes himself made it a lifting comp by saying he “destroyed Michael Todd”. I’m actually pointing out that you can’t compare lift to lift as everyone is doing it different. You said “No…” like I said one of them are doing it wrong. They’re both fine just a bit different.
    1
  236. Winner of Jerry vs Alex pulls Ermes for shot at Levan.
    1
  237. The belt is literally all on his hand. It’s no where near his arm. Crazy.
    1
  238.  @venomshot2815  in 2019 Mike was the undisputed #1 in NA and considered number 2-3 in the world at the time. It wasn’t just him that was claiming it. Many wanted to see him pull the #1 from across the ocean. It’s easy to say he was “delusional” now after injuries and losses.
    1
  239. Genadi Kvikvinia vs Devon Larratt
    1
  240.  @humanbean3  why is it an “unfair advantage”? Because the opponent isn’t good enough to pin it? So if I’m trying to hook someone to the pad but I’m not strong enough to do it, it’s an unfair advantage? My argument is as long as the elbow is on the pad what does it matter where the arm wrestlers body is? If on winning side they can drop all the way down to pin, is that a disadvantage to the opponent standing up trying to defend the pin??
    1
  241.  @pedrobile1382  that’s your subjective opinion. And all arguments against it are subjective is my point. I personally think it’s exciting and great to watch someone work through it. I don’t like watching a presser compared to hook or toproll but it’s a technique just like every other.
    1
  242.  @DovesDescent  I know the rules man. Im questioning why is it illegal. I personally think as long as an athletes elbow remains on the pad they should be allowed to position their body any way they want.
    1
  243.  @DovesDescent  isn’t that what we’re talking about. “The rule”?
    1
  244.  @humanbean3  you’re comparing giving someone a jet back in a foot race to a person naturally not being able to fully extend their arm? That’s ridiculous. Mike Todd didn’t put a steel plate in his arm to get an “unfair advantage”. If an individuals arm naturally doesn’t straighten that’s not an “unfair advantage”. Btw Mikes match with Devon in WAL was more of a result of squishy elbow pads. On a normal pad Mikes elbow would have been off the side of the pad. He had his elbow up against the side of that squishy pad using it as leverage. Half his elbow was on the table surface in round 3 and 5. He was also only below the table a few times while on the losing side. Most of the match he was on his side or at worst neutral.
    1
  245. A SHW Devon with a trained/peaked left arm it could be a good match. But at 105 I dunno. But I think a trained left arm Devon is just as good as anyone at 105 to challenge him.
    1
  246. A healthy and peaked Jerry on his home turf is gonna be tough for anyone.
    1
  247. Which tells me he’s actually a lot closer to 231 than he’s saying. Prob 245
    1
  248.  @djohnd  Nah. Assuming their both in shape it’s a close match. RVJ will win the hand battle.
    1
  249. When he was 245 he had literally no fat to lose and not holding much water. I don’t think this is a healthy weight for him. Surely he will gain back to 240-245+
    1
  250. That was bad advice he gave Levan.
    1
  251.  @jax9574  gripping Jerry too low is not how you beat him. If you simply just grip low with Jerry you allow him into his wrist curled press which is what he prefers. That’s his power. Jerry prefers a hook press over the flop. Jerry gets into the flop when his opponent rolls out. Devon and Neil even talked about this on their live yesterday. Devon himself in 2018 didn’t do what he said he did to Levan. Devon posted high with a high hand in the setup and punched up into a high hook against Jerry.
    1
  252.  @jax9574  he literally goes for the normal hook press in all his matches. But even if not, you still don’t beat him by simply gripping low. Of course he likes to flop as well because that means his opponent is going backwards and pronating. But if you look at all his matches he supinates at go and only ends up in a flop once his opponent rolls out. Devon literally told Levan to grip super low and referred to his 2018 match with Jerry when he actually did the opposite.
