It would be good to see. He didn't really manage his own expectations or even train properly. He lifted a bunch of weights but didn't do any real armwrestling preparations. Then went in against a still very good Brzenk and got dominated. Alexey needs to have matches against some journeymen to get those connection points built back up, and more activity on the table in general. Can't just do armwrestling in the weight room.
He knew the level... He also knew his right arm is not to the level it was. He may have underestimated Sergei a little bit. Travis just needs more time to train. He also needs to get bigger!
It has nothing to do with left or right arm. He just needs to prepare more seriously. His left isnt insane right now either, just because he beat Derek ...
He jumped right back in at a high level, with his weaker arm. At least now he understands the level. He's only been training seriously again for a short time. Despite his outward confidence going into this, he can't be more than 80 or 85% right now. I hope he doesn't quit and this just lights a fire under him again.
It's interesting contemplating if the sport has gone to a brand new level from when Travis reigned, or if it's just Travis not being completely peaked.
Right, Kalinchenko is at a very high level. Been training way longer than Travis so nothing to feel bad about. Just need to get in more matches and table time
@@A_Mystery_Man it's a different level now for sure. But that's sport, everyone generally keeps getting better over time until it's a well refined long standing sport where there's diminishing returns. Armwrestling is so new in terms of being professional, that the quality of athletes will increase exponentially.
Nah he will come back left-handed but I think he'll train more this time around you could tell he was pissed but at same time never shy of showing who won. being sportsmanlike. He needs to go train hard come back with his left and I think he could still give people a run for their money.
I really want Travis keep going even if he would have a couple of losses at first. I wanted the same with Voevoda....... it just takes more time and ego is too big sometimes. But I 100% support Travis.
Travis had a realty check. I was right that Kalina was too much for his first come back right hand supermatch. He needs to scale with opponents not as dominant as Kalina, probably out of top 15.
to be fair, there were a lot of top level pullers getting 3-0 whacked. Travis didn't look much worse than Evgeny did against Irakli. He will definitely have to apply himself.
@@Pepe-pq3om not really he just hasn’t been tested much with the elites in EvW but the man is bigger than ever and most importantly he is versatile, he has many tool to battle anyone
@@Pepe-pq3omthey are so called "overrated" for a reason. They have to be good enough for ppl to say they r overrated as a form of hating on them but also complimenting them at the same time.
More time required. Really cool to see Travis in matches again, and he's damn good in the commentary booth. No one is safe from their name being completely botched.
Why are some of u acting like he's giving up? Did he say that once? No. He said his left is better than his right. Nothing wrong with going to ur strong arm for matches.
I feel bad for him but you know it was a lot to expect that he could have done a lot with Sergei.. that dude is super strong. It doesn't sound like it from this video but I sure hope he doesn't quit, I feel like he is one of the only things that will really make me want to stay around and stay watching sport because I'm just kind of got a little burnt out.
Man I wanted Travis so bad, it would've been a million times more fun to watch him winning at least 1 round but Sergey deserved that win and congratulations to him
You let me down big dog now that you got ur ass handed to u it’s time time to step up that gear and get to the next level need that 280 geared up Travis if u wanna be back on top
Like Voevoda, they have just been away for too long. Weightlifting only gets you a fraction of the way there; it takes table time. It takes tearing and rebuilding the connection points in the joint tissue, as well as the tightness and elasticity. It isn't that the sport progressed beyond them, just that they need to get their bodies back into armwrestling shape. And also take on some journeymen first to get some confidence back. Travis's left at least kicked off with a win.
@@michaelbilotta1567 the wrist and fingers are controlled by the muscles of the forearm. Obviously some guys are just gifted strength wise, like Travis, but if Travis trained enough to add an inch to his upper arms and forearms, he probably would have won.
I just can't believe Travis couldn't slip...like it didn't even look like he tried to actively slip. Kalichenko doesn't have the Vitaly kinda grip, so I don't get it
Nice to hear that he's not gonna stop coming back like Voevoda did. Travis actually loves the sport and will continue improving.
Voevoda planned an armfight at the end of this year
@@artemcyper that´s great to hear. Maybe they could have arm fight with Travis in the end of 2025 - right and left hand.

Voevoda happened into the sport just like bobsled lol. Arm wrestling is part of Travis' upbringing.
Voevoda is coming stronger
Now he knows the level. Time to prep seriously
This is his bad arm.. the left is in another level
He knew the level... He also knew his right arm is not to the level it was. He may have underestimated Sergei a little bit. Travis just needs more time to train. He also needs to get bigger!
@janindrektamm5233 but Travis at his best can compete with anyone imo right handed. He said he was only 60%. He just needs more time.
It has nothing to do with left or right arm. He just needs to prepare more seriously. His left isnt insane right now either, just because he beat Derek ...
No beer + some 750 test cyp per week.

No way travis is even at 80% of what he used to be. Dude is probably at more like 65%
Sometimes you lose sometimes you win. Travis's existence is great for the sport.
for real
Travis pulled a top 15 opponent after having 6-7 years off
same denis pulled brzenk and after top 1 Larrat
@@ElFinoRojas yeah brzenk is a lot lighter than Denis and way past his prime. Denis and Travis both took too hard of matches for their second matches
Can’t be upset you lost. Just gotta keep at it and get hungry
Kalina beat Arif and was 50/50 with Dzeranov so no shame in losing after being away for so long. I’m much more interested in Travis pulling left
@@janindrektamm5233at the time larratt was top 1 in east vs west, doesn’t matter what anyone else knows or thinks. Levan didn’t compete until recently
Hope he doesnt stop because of losing one
What do you mean one😂
@@christopher2001 What do YOU mean? This is his first loss since his latest comeback... So yes, one. That is obviously what he is referring to.
Nah, it was right handed and he just started again. He's never been too confident right handed anyway. At least not compared to his left.
Nah he will come back left-handed but I think he'll train more this time around you could tell he was pissed but at same time never shy of showing who won. being sportsmanlike. He needs to go train hard come back with his left and I think he could still give people a run for their money.
Travis on right arm at least should just be taking easier supermatches to ease his way back into the game.
I really want Travis keep going even if he would have a couple of losses at first. I wanted the same with Voevoda....... it just takes more time and ego is too big sometimes. But I 100% support Travis.
He is entertaining and a legend of armwresting. I am rooting for Travis. 🇺🇲
Travis had a realty check. I was right that Kalina was too much for his first come back right hand supermatch. He needs to scale with opponents not as dominant as Kalina, probably out of top 15.
I still believe his right arm can hang with the best, just needs more time
Keep your head up Travis, this was just practice buddy. Long time away, now you have the feel of it.
to be fair, there were a lot of top level pullers getting 3-0 whacked. Travis didn't look much worse than Evgeny did against Irakli. He will definitely have to apply himself.
Great to see Travis back on the table.
Was awesome to see your debut on EvsW. Not the outcome we hoped for but definitely armwrestling is better with Travis Bagent.
People don’t take KALINA serious at all, he’s up there, the man has beaten superheavyweights and almost beat georgi who is possibly top 5 right now
Georgi is overrated, just because he beat another overated guy.
@@Pepe-pq3om not really he just hasn’t been tested much with the elites in EvW but the man is bigger than ever and most importantly he is versatile, he has many tool to battle anyone

@@Crazygear408 He might be top 5, but he haven't proved himself to belong in there yet
kalina is bigger each time i see him compete
Dnt give up Travis! Glad to see ya back in action
really want to see Travis keep going! would love to see him vs matt mask left hand
So happy he’s in somewhat high spirits!
Travis is going to have a good comeback for sure. It is good just to be active right now, eventually he'll find his footing.
You're the best Travis 💪🏻🔥🤟🏻👏🏻
More time required. Really cool to see Travis in matches again, and he's damn good in the commentary booth. No one is safe from their name being completely botched.
EvW desperately needs more charismatic figures like Travis Bagent.
I’m pulling for you man!
Keep working Travis I’d personally focus on your left only, love having you in the sport
Good to see you can't make up 6 years in a few months. But slowly he will become better. I have faith in Travis he will come back stronger next time.
Yes the beast is back! Couldn't be happier. He'll get it back soon enough
Keep going, Travis! Wanna see you win on the left arm!!
Keep gaining back what is yours and ours to cherish!
Travisss🎉🎉🎉
Travis style is the main reason I had success as novice, hope to see him come back maybe against the same guy but on the left in 6 months
Personally expected it, idc really cuz its his right, now he has a better idea of the lvl so I'd like to see him level up his left and then go for it.
Keep going champ! You didn’t have many ramp up matches….you can regain a good form! You can beat most everyone at 85%!!!
I think Travis should be ready for the top 10 in about 6 months to a year. If he dedicates himself to it seriously
I cant believe he go for right arm here.. his left is on another level
Left hand Beast is where it's at🦾
"I assume". It's going to get interesting with the upcoming contract negotiations.
Last time Travis gets embarrassed... save this comment
should of went left again travis! would of been pure domination
I just want travis back on the juice, damn was he a unit when he faced georgi those years ago and alos whilst he was dominating right arm in WAL
Ouch
If he trains 100 percent /he still will be tough to beat left handed, super strong /experienced and talented, and funny as hell..!!!!!
Why are some of u acting like he's giving up? Did he say that once? No. He said his left is better than his right. Nothing wrong with going to ur strong arm for matches.
lets go bro, we all want to see you succeed but we still here for the losses
Much love ❤❤❤
Keep shaking off that rust bit by bit, you'll be kicking ass again in no time, Legend
BEAST
At least Travis knows the level he needs to be at now
matt mask vs travis right arm!
I feel bad for him but you know it was a lot to expect that he could have done a lot with Sergei.. that dude is super strong. It doesn't sound like it from this video but I sure hope he doesn't quit, I feel like he is one of the only things that will really make me want to stay around and stay watching sport because I'm just kind of got a little burnt out.
I was here for the beast win loose don't care. Just glad to see him back!!!
Man I wanted Travis so bad, it would've been a million times more fun to watch him winning at least 1 round but Sergey deserved that win and congratulations to him
I would like to see him pull again
It’s actually better that he lost, he wouldn’t have changed anything in training if he won
No amount of motivation can help Travis. RIP
Travis king of strap❤
Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't.
Hopefully this motivates him to get serious and level up.
You let me down big dog now that you got ur ass handed to u it’s time time to step up that gear and get to the next level need that 280 geared up Travis if u wanna be back on top
I hope Travis wants to arm wrestle as bad as the FANS want him to. ARMWRESTLING needs TRAVIS BAGENT.
Travis isn't bothered he just came for the money bro, he should focus on his left and leave the right arm
This is clearly him during the interview. Baited.
Travis got destroyed, it wasn't even a competition in the slightest. Just straight pin every round.
Respect

Travis's left at least kicked off with a win.
True champ. He took the L and makes no excuses. So good to see him back in the game. Left hand is gonna be 🔥
He whined like a baby and made every excuse including the strap excuse. 😂 Small weak hands need a strap I guess.
Arm wrestling is better with Bagent in it. As crazy as this MFer is, he’s so entertaining to watch and is so much fun.
А разговоров то было 😂😂😂
if he wants it he'll get it, right and left, too much too soon this time
Alexi is too much of a primadonna to come back like a man
Should've pulled Matt Mask!
There you are guys, the only guy can beat Levan if he get serious
Bagent vs Morozov left arm is coming
Hes genuinely disappointed which im happy with because it shows he did train hard for this
The dancing and the disrespect killed the hype for me honestly
Travis vs Voevoda pls
Oops. Dosages up, Travis...
There can only be one loud mouth North American champion 😂.
Mouth comes first for this loud mouth 😂😂😂😂
I like it better when guys don't talk so much trash before. That way if they lose they don't look so stupid.
Travis better not accept tough matches again when he's just coming back
If the other guy's biceps are a full inch bigger and forearm measures 2 inches bigger, you're almost guaranteed to lose.
it's wrist/hand wrestling first and foremost, then arm. Often happens that people with worse measurements win lol
@@michaelbilotta1567 the wrist and fingers are controlled by the muscles of the forearm. Obviously some guys are just gifted strength wise, like Travis, but if Travis trained enough to add an inch to his upper arms and forearms, he probably would have won.
Travis vs Morozov
Dumb to have him doing right hand matches to begin with. I am glad I didn't buy the event and won't in the future either.
haha now you know the level of this sport travis 🤣🤣
Maybe he’ll be a little more humble now, get over yourself bud.
Welcome to 2024 Travis.
Welcome to an untrained Travis lol. The year doesnt matter.
travis vs voevoda
Tell him he’s not the greatest! YeAAAAAAHH! Stay off your feet!
Feel so bad but....he asked for it.
Clown #2) larat is #1😂
😂
I mean = you know what I mean
Dude couldn’t get away fast enough. Can’t eat donuts for 5 years and think you can walk up there and compete with these guys.
Stay retired
Fly this bum on economy to wherever Voevoda disappeared to. Shortest comeback ever and definitely not our spear.
shut up bum
jesus man show us on the doll where Travis hurt you
Travis “cleft palate” Bagent was destroyed and humiliated in EPIC fashion!!! 😂😂😂 GTFO Travis!
Man I thought I was a Travis hater.... but you get the gold medal!
I just can't believe Travis couldn't slip...like it didn't even look like he tried to actively slip.
Kalichenko doesn't have the Vitaly kinda grip, so I don't get it
Does ray wear heel shoes? Coz he is a lot shorter than he appears in this video
