I'm definitely a fan. And while he mightve displayed sportsmanship HERE, he SURE AS HELL doesn't FREQUENTLY on and off the table in Armwrestling. Dont get me wrong, I will probably ALWAYS root for the guy. But sell that shit somewhere else, bro. Lets call it as it is.
What are you talking about? Lmao that's people that go to war and fight for what is mostly ungrateful people. Not getting into match you can quite before it starts or quite in the middle of it. Yes it takes confidence but you're seriously over-exaggerating it

Seriously, this has nothing to do with boxing. Did you see Devon actually box? It's just publicity stunts. He looks like he didn't even took a boxing lesson. His punching was major awkward. As slow as a turtle.
@@batman6540 Look, we all like Devon, but this was pretty silly. Devon has no fighting skills at all. He should have trained longer to build up remedial skills and given a better match for fans and his promotion. It's just a poor showing all around and it didn't need to be.
To be fair he's almost 50, no boxing experience, 5 weeks notice, arms can't fully extend due to arm wrestling injuries, going up a younger strong man that has been boxing for over a year (correct me if I'm wrong), impressive weight difference... gotta state the obvious Laratt has nuts the size of the moon!

ya hes totally handicapped for this sport... and old.. he got thor with a couple good ones before he gassed out tho lol.. cardio is always the enemy in fighting
That and... Thor is scary as fuck, imagine getting hit in your arm by one of his hooks while fully extended... I think he was just scared of losening up cause of the disadvantage. He can definitely extend his arm and properly hit and throw u can see in sparriing footage... but this matchup was just too unfair.
I guess you dont watch his matches ? He always cries and tries to cheat in the matches if he is in a disadvantage and people call that shit mental game or something
@@SayGahTaah it is his peak for boxing and fighting, at 400+ he'd be sluggish and tire quickly, he would be too stiff, his current physique is peak performance for combat

The size and age difference is big... but the biggest factor comes down to comfort and calm in the ring. Thor is simply more relaxed, and carrying himself with ease, looks like a natural in his stance and throwing jabs. Devon looks like an armwrestler, without a table to put his elbow on.
Bam Bam. He looks well to taking ffing chemical help and just cheating Roid head like rest of them. Let him get in with a real Heavyweight who don't take chemical help. B blowing out of his asssss in 2 rounds then knocked out.

You can tell Devon wasn't ready to box, it takes training and practice to even throw a punch properly let alone move around in the ring. Still so much respect for Devon, and hats off to the ref for a really good call.
Without even having the video loaded up i can already tell he has issues straightening his arms. The lack of flexibility is what'll exhaust him and take any effectiveness away. There's nothing which undo this damage to his flexibility anyway.

That's what you call good old fun. The fact that they embrace the moment is inspiring. They are the best in their respective sports and just students to boxing. Just awesome!!
biiiiig big respect to Devon, I knew it was totally unfair from the beginning, age, size, prep time, boxing experience, etc... I am even a bigger fan of Devon now than before, the hearth he showed inspired me incredibly, what a great guy. Thor is a serious force, nothing to joke with. thanks to both
Exactly. Larratt was not only a canadian special forces solder but he also did judo in his youth. I could tell by the grappling and clinches he ran on Thor. Either way Thor trained in boxing more but Larratt was just doing it to do something different and I think we can all learn from his attitude
I love this guy, Devon larrat . At first when he lost to levan and that broke my heart because he couldn't face levan in his prime as he was old. And seeing this made me a bit scared because devon is the reason i am having interest in arm wrestling and i couldn't see him get beat but at the same time it made me proud because he did this for first time and isn't scared and hell doesn't give up . RESPECT 🙏
When devon faced levan he was at his peak , he him self admitted it. He was the heaviest he had ever been. At the end levan was just too strong. Your lack of knowledge makes me sick , stop getting information from tictok. Arm wrestling is a kind of sport where people can still be at there peak while being in their 50s it's all about the tendents.
Notice how Devon by instinct goes for moves like pushing and wrestling. Like we know he was a special forces soldier, so we shouldn't doubt that this fight could go differently in a different scenario.
When they arm wrestled, it was a difference of almost 200 lbs. When they boxed, it was a difference of 25. That's some impressive weight loss and weight gain from both men in this bout.
Wow.. Devon Larrat is the crazy coolest arm wrestler ever!! Ever!! And he boxes the most fearsome looking human on the planet also? Ridiculous props to a guy that is cool times a million!
Man I discovered Devon through Jujimufu, I always thought “this guy looks so cool” I never would’ve imagined him in a boxing match against anyone. to my understanding he hasn’t got much experience boxing and he decided to go against the “strongest man in the world” who’s currently prepping for a fight against another “strongest man in the world”…. The balls on this dude; and at his age, crazy. Much respect to him. Much respect to Thor too actually cuz it looks like he starting to get them moves, Eddie might be in trouble after all… that is if he doesn’t tear another muscle and call off the fight
@@batman6540 Nobody says otherwise. Hafthor IS an amateur. But the improvement he has had in the last year, is staggering. And now he gets another year to improve. Eddie better pull it together, or he will be destroyed.
I only knew about Devon some years ago where I knew him to be a legendary arm wrestler. I admire him because knowing that he has no experience in boxing but he has the guts to fight the strongest man in the world inside the ring. I love this man for having a big heart with always having a big smile. You have promoted the Arm Wrestling better for what you have done. Big respect and salute to you, my idol in arm wrestling. 💪😉👍❤️👏👏👏
Legends. Devon's the reason I took an interest in arm wrestling - to get in the ring with the Mountain takes guts, always has a smile on his face, seems like an absolute gent too.
Both athletes have admirable skills in their respective fields, of course Hafthor's field is better suited to boxing, but Devon's bravery must also be commended. They left us a good match to watch and a memory for themselves.
Let do away with these terrible celebrity fights. We have some good up coming fighters world wide, can we please give them UA-cam air time? We want good boxing, we're being starved of good boxing!
@@Hussain.cosmixJtf2, he’s not an ordinary soldier, he was the guy they’d send in with a squad to clean up a big mess, and get out as if nothing ever happened.
"I've never seen Devon soo nervous before." Well Devon said he had no clue about boxing going up against the world's strongest man with a 1000+ lbs deadlift and who's already had some fights and experience in boxing. Even if his opponent wasn't 6 ft 9, those are some scary credentials to be up against.
Both seem like good guys, Devons got some balls getting in there with Thor though! Huge respect, wouldn’t want to mess with Devon on a real battlefield 😎☠️
Im not afraid to fight bigger people im when i was 18 I was only 5'7 160 and I beat up a guy who was an amatuer bodybuilder 6'6 270 that being said dont think i'd be so quick to take on the mountain 😱
Devon can take a walk through hell with a smile. The ultimate man that all young men should aspire to be. What can you say about Thor? Just a genetic freak who’s on top of his game and one of the most impressive athletes in the world.
This kind of fight should've never happened. I've got a lot of respect for Devon, but it was extremely dangerous to step into that ring. I'm glad Devon wasn't really hurt.
@@MickyRichards Devon is 47, not trained his whole life to absorb punches, you think he'd just have a blackout for a minute and no other damage? It would take devon a month of recovery and he's still risking brain damage, thors punches if connected would be pretty devastating. I don't care how much you get paid I rather not risk brain damage
If Bjornsson dedicated his entire life to fighting, and looked like he does in this video, he would be the scariest and most badass human to ever exist.
It's so funny reading the comments. You can tell who's boxed and not 😂 Anyone who's boxed knows there's a giant gap in skill and experience between someone who's been training for 5 weeks to someone who's been training for 12-18 months. For only training for 5 weeks Devon actually did far better and looked far better than I thought he would against Thor. Until he gassed which was quick because of the adrenaline dump and lack of conditioning his head movement was great his movement was good and he was even throwing a good shot back here and there. He was much quicker than Thor. How anyone who says they are a boxing fan cannot give him credit and respect him for getting in the ring on such short notice and giving it 100 percent is ridiculous . He's a very brave man! No doubt with the same training time he's more of a natural than Thor
@@lyricsabotbieul5801 We've all been there at least he was still going forward and throwing punches my first time full sparring I couldn't even throw a punch back after 30 seconds 🤣 just stood there like a rabbit in the headlights getting pummelled
Yes right, i rewatched the fight at ¼ speed and devon slipped, parried and blocked most of what thor threw. Unfortunately when a fighter 6'9" 340 connects damage will be done especially while fresh in round 1. Still though that fight didn't need to be stopped at that point and the standing 8 count was ridiculous considering devon hit thor with a body shot.
Yikes, these two gents made the ring look tiny! Those shots behind the ear from Thor would knock out most horses. Great effort from the athletes! Those grunts after being hit were very real. Wow.
Except every delivery is completely advertised and extremely slow. Any real boxer with speed is gonna see every punch coming and dance circles around him and embarrass him. If he wants to beat Eddie hall he next year he better work tremendously on his speed and learn to stop announcing every punch.
@@jamesroberts9589 everything you mentioned is also a shortfall of Eddie, except Eddie has a far shorter reach and consistently forgets to cover his head. Eddie might be slightly faster than Thor, sure, but with massive Achilles heels like those it probably won’t matter
i'm actually impressed with Thor, yes ik he fought somebody who didn't know how to punch but compared to his previous exhibition fight, Thor looked composed...props to the big guy
Thor's previous opponents were not heavier than Devon. But they were actual pro boxers. Their superior skills made Thor looks like a clumsy giant child. Here, against an inexperienced opponent, Thor gets to show that he's come a long way in the last year.
@@andeolevain How did Thor go against those other pro boxers? Were they heavyweights? I would assume a pro heavyweight boxer would destroy Thor in a boxing match. Is that what happened?
haha Devon ffs what a legend, this dude is 1 in a million. no training, no notice and fighting one of the strongest men in the world lol. and he's always smiling and cracking jokes. gotta love the guy.
Compared to when he 1st started, yeah it's gotten better. I have no idea why everyone expects him to go 12 rounds like a featherweight. It's almost as if they keep forgetting he's a big person
Unlike the other comment sections, this one here is very salty...you payed to watch this fight, you knew what you were getting, besides that Devon did this for populazing his sport and to entertain people. Don't be greedy, you don't know what it takes to get in the ring for the first time and perform in front of a decent crowd. These men go out there and give their all, give some respect, stop hating.
Keyboard warriors for you. The reason they judge and think everything is easy it's because they never tried anything. They're basically couch potatoes and never tried anything on their lives. That's why they can't relate to someone doing hard work, they never did anything hard for themselves, hence why they're pathetic and sad. It's easy to judge when you don't make mistakes and that's the secret to stay unhappy. Not making mistakes, not learning anything because you're not trying to live life like you really should. Giving your best, working hard, making mistakes, learning from them and become a better person because of it.
@@IvanM272 Wow. I hope English isn't your first language. Not even necessarily saying I disagree with anything you tried to say. just keep it simple when you're stupid

Devon only having a few weeks to prepare for this while being out of fighting shape for years is fucking incredible. I only wish to have his will and determination someday.
Of course he's awkward with zero boxing mechanics, but despite that if you look carefully, Devon actually has a sense of timing and seeing opportunities. He's probably a good all around athlete.
Tier one spec ops and 8 combat deployments to Afghanistan. He’s not a fighter, he’s a killer. Hes a trip you on your ass and stab you in the neck, he’s a “fuck this war is mess, we need to fix this, send in the badasses” type. He is, well was truthfully, the highest level athlete.
I do not think there is a bigger Sportsman in today's world than Davon. When you just see him you smile, no one respects sport better than Devon. Love him for that, he is my Favorit
At age 46, with 5 weeks notice, he tried a sport he admitted knowing nothing about against the strongest man in the world.
To be fair he got some MMA and judo plus military combatives, but your point stands.

For their weight. The size didn't matter that much, mostly the age. After 40 is way past prime. Also the experience in the sport..

That's what you call good old fun. The fact that they embrace the moment is inspiring. They are the best in their respective sports and just students to boxing. Just awesome!!

@@LSDdreams808 i think this one was enough for all. Check out drax's mma fight. Bautista.
MASSIVE respect to Devon, absolute hero!
Both are legends, brave warriors with a heart of gold. Mad respect for these two phenomenal men.
I never seen Devon scared before 😀 But he was really smiling when he was between two ladies.
biiiiig big respect to Devon, I knew it was totally unfair from the beginning, age, size, prep time, boxing experience, etc... I am even a bigger fan of Devon now than before, the hearth he showed inspired me incredibly, what a great guy. Thor is a serious force, nothing to joke with. thanks to both
Exactly. Larratt was not only a canadian special forces solder but he also did judo in his youth. I could tell by the grappling and clinches he ran on Thor. Either way Thor trained in boxing more but Larratt was just doing it to do something different and I think we can all learn from his attitude
I love this guy, Devon larrat . At first when he lost to levan and that broke my heart because he couldn't face levan in his prime as he was old. And seeing this made me a bit scared because devon is the reason i am having interest in arm wrestling and i couldn't see him get beat but at the same time it made me proud because he did this for first time and isn't scared and hell doesn't give up . RESPECT 🙏
Have you seen Devon absolutely school Thor in arm wrestling 7 years ago? If not check it out!
When devon faced levan he was at his peak , he him self admitted it. He was the heaviest he had ever been. At the end levan was just too strong. Your lack of knowledge makes me sick , stop getting information from tictok. Arm wrestling is a kind of sport where people can still be at there peak while being in their 50s it's all about the tendents.
Devon "No Limits" Larratt back on top 💪👑
after levan he won like 12 matches
Devon is in his prime regarding armwrestling.
I never been happy for a guy that was happy about being punched in the face. Awesome.
Notice how Devon by instinct goes for moves like pushing and wrestling. Like we know he was a special forces soldier, so we shouldn't doubt that this fight could go differently in a different scenario.
Yeah he probably choke him out
The first clinch he would have thrown him down and gotten mount
Alright, but let’s be honest it was incredible the respect Thor showed him
No. He's beating a guy half his size. That's not incredible.

Devon is 6'6😂😂
When they arm wrestled, it was a difference of almost 200 lbs. When they boxed, it was a difference of 25. That's some impressive weight loss and weight gain from both men in this bout.
Nonsense, the difference is double; 50lbs!
25 kilos which is over 56 pound
????? no
Kilograms arent the same as pounds buddy..the fact that so many people liked it and dont know that either worries me..

@@oldironsides4107 yeah didn’t really hold anything. Still balls of steel tho
Wow.. Devon Larrat is the crazy coolest arm wrestler ever!! Ever!! And he boxes the most fearsome looking human on the planet also? Ridiculous props to a guy that is cool times a million!
It's just payback for the time they arm wrestled.
The reason he’s so cool is not because of arm wrestling, the shit he’s seen and done must be insane. He’s Jtf2, a bonafide badass.
i love how much devon's wife support him literally every time. thats a keeper
Man I discovered Devon through Jujimufu, I always thought “this guy looks so cool” I never would’ve imagined him in a boxing match against anyone. to my understanding he hasn’t got much experience boxing and he decided to go against the “strongest man in the world” who’s currently prepping for a fight against another “strongest man in the world”…. The balls on this dude; and at his age, crazy. Much respect to him. Much respect to Thor too actually cuz it looks like he starting to get them moves, Eddie might be in trouble after all… that is if he doesn’t tear another muscle and call off the fight
It’s easy to forget what a beast of a man Devon is when he’s next to Thor. I love how much respect these guys have for one another.
I got the warm and fuzzies watching the post fight speeches. Such good guys. Such propper respect. I love seeing that.
Bjorn has come leaps and bounds in boxing his technique has improved vastly
I still laughed at the weights listed for the contestants. No way is Devon 124kg😂 clearly just trying to make it look closer to being an even match
@@pocketthechipmunk9994 why wouldnt he be 124?
jeah, against rookies. He still would get killed in 20 seconds against an advanced boxer.

@@batman6540 Nobody says otherwise. Hafthor IS an amateur. But the improvement he has had in the last year, is staggering. And now he gets another year to improve. Eddie better pull it together, or he will be destroyed.
The age, weight, skill level difference. glad the ref was on top of things!
Larratt is such a tactician, I can't believe he wasn't hitting the Mountain with his forearms. The Mountain and Larratt both show great sportsmanship.
😂😂
I only knew about Devon some years ago where I knew him to be a legendary arm wrestler. I admire him because knowing that he has no experience in boxing but he has the guts to fight the strongest man in the world inside the ring. I love this man for having a big heart with always having a big smile. You have promoted the Arm Wrestling better for what you have done. Big respect and salute to you, my idol in arm wrestling. 💪😉👍❤️👏👏👏
Legends. Devon's the reason I took an interest in arm wrestling - to get in the ring with the Mountain takes guts, always has a smile on his face, seems like an absolute gent too.
Huge respect for both of them. Extreme athletes and true gentlemen - that's what sports is supposed to be.
The men from Iceland are true gentlemen, gotta say nothing but love for Devon and the sport of boxing
Devon's literally insane. Mad respect
love devon but he has no clue how to box. what a shitshow tbh
Devon is an absolute legend.
Devon is still an absolute legend anyways
I was scrollin and seen this video randomly. yea i agree xD
3:17 was legit from Devon lol
Both athletes have admirable skills in their respective fields, of course Hafthor's field is better suited to boxing, but Devon's bravery must also be commended. They left us a good match to watch and a memory for themselves.
I agree with everything apart from this being a good match.
They left us a good match to watch??? wtf u srs?
What? A good match? This was hysterical, like The 2 Stooges fighting
Let do away with these terrible celebrity fights. We have some good up coming fighters world wide, can we please give them UA-cam air time? We want good boxing, we're being starved of good boxing!
Devon has the heart of a warrior. Both guys are great examples of the human race
Roided out men. Thats a great example of the human race? C'Mon man.

I've never seen Devon soo nervous before. He's such a confident guy with soo much game and charisma
Well he's stepped into something he hadn't a clue about. Credit for his courage though.
@@spiroclimb2523 yes boxing is not his support but yet he has big balls
its reasonable his opponent is a strongman
"I've never seen Devon soo nervous before."
Well Devon said he had no clue about boxing going up against the world's strongest man with a 1000+ lbs deadlift and who's already had some fights and experience in boxing. Even if his opponent wasn't 6 ft 9, those are some scary credentials to be up against.
So, who's your first fight ever with Devon? That'd be..... Hafthor Bjornson, you know, the Mountain.
Yeah, the guy looks like he didn't have a clue!!
Hahahahhahah
Both seem like good guys, Devons got some balls getting in there with Thor though! Huge respect, wouldn’t want to mess with Devon on a real battlefield 😎☠️
Also with no prep
it didn't just take balls getting in the ring, the way he fought took massive balls too
Im not afraid to fight bigger people im when i was 18 I was only 5'7 160 and I beat up a guy who was an amatuer bodybuilder 6'6 270 that being said dont think i'd be so quick to take on the mountain 😱

Devon can take a walk through hell with a smile. The ultimate man that all young men should aspire to be. What can you say about Thor? Just a genetic freak who’s on top of his game and one of the most impressive athletes in the world.

It’s 2 guys that can’t box boxing.
He even loses with a smile. Devon is a true inspiration!
Respect
The hug at the end was everything
Devon has THE biggest balls. 99% of us all watching would step aside.
We'd step aside if we weren't getting paid.
99% of us would see the paycheck and say "yes please". get hit on the chin hard and blackout for a minute vs months if not years of working full time.
@@MickyRichards yes but unlike you Devon has money already so it takes balls to get into that ring.
@@MickyRichards Devon is 47, not trained his whole life to absorb punches, you think he'd just have a blackout for a minute and no other damage? It would take devon a month of recovery and he's still risking brain damage, thors punches if connected would be pretty devastating. I don't care how much you get paid I rather not risk brain damage
@@MickyRichards It's not just a on/off switch with no consequences

Devon is absolute class! Still smiling and cracking jokes afterwards.
Devon's wife is the best...she always has his back and ready to throw some punches too if situation call for it hehe
HAHAHA
You are absolutely right.
Not really. Every girl is like that if she falls for you. You just aren't worth her loving you.

"Go Devin".. *Smack*... "You can do it Devin"... *Smack*...
You gotta love Larrett - he is a great guy.
At 7:00 it looks like devon says “he’s too strong man” haha what a great sport
It's so funny reading the comments. You can tell who's boxed and not 😂 Anyone who's boxed knows there's a giant gap in skill and experience between someone who's been training for 5 weeks to someone who's been training for 12-18 months. For only training for 5 weeks Devon actually did far better and looked far better than I thought he would against Thor. Until he gassed which was quick because of the adrenaline dump and lack of conditioning his head movement was great his movement was good and he was even throwing a good shot back here and there. He was much quicker than Thor. How anyone who says they are a boxing fan cannot give him credit and respect him for getting in the ring on such short notice and giving it 100 percent is ridiculous . He's a very brave man! No doubt with the same training time he's more of a natural than Thor
That adrenaline dump definitely hit him hard
@@lyricsabotbieul5801 We've all been there at least he was still going forward and throwing punches my first time full sparring I couldn't even throw a punch back after 30 seconds 🤣 just stood there like a rabbit in the headlights getting pummelled
They both looked crap.
Yes right, i rewatched the fight at ¼ speed and devon slipped, parried and blocked most of what thor threw. Unfortunately when a fighter 6'9" 340 connects damage will be done especially while fresh in round 1. Still though that fight didn't need to be stopped at that point and the standing 8 count was ridiculous considering devon hit thor with a body shot.
@@jimjones8808 he never said they looked good, just better than he thought 🙄
Yikes, these two gents made the ring look tiny! Those shots behind the ear from Thor would knock out most horses. Great effort from the athletes! Those grunts after being hit were very real. Wow.
horses?
When you gather the balls to take on the boss of punch out on hard difficulty 😎
Devon is great...winning or losing.
Thor was well controlled, movements were professional, great jab, using reach advantage perfectly. Love to both of them, devon got a heart of a lion.
Except every delivery is completely advertised and extremely slow. Any real boxer with speed is gonna see every punch coming and dance circles around him and embarrass him. If he wants to beat Eddie hall he next year he better work tremendously on his speed and learn to stop announcing every punch.
@@jamesroberts9589 Well but if you have noticed! The man is pretty big guy and he is pretty fast for his size I believe!
@@jamesroberts9589 everything you mentioned is also a shortfall of Eddie, except Eddie has a far shorter reach and consistently forgets to cover his head. Eddie might be slightly faster than Thor, sure, but with massive Achilles heels like those it probably won’t matter

The weight difference plays a big part aswell like nobody will take a fight with that big difference
Thor's previous opponents were not heavier than Devon. But they were actual pro boxers. Their superior skills made Thor looks like a clumsy giant child. Here, against an inexperienced opponent, Thor gets to show that he's come a long way in the last year.

Unlike the other comment sections, this one here is very salty...you payed to watch this fight, you knew what you were getting, besides that Devon did this for populazing his sport and to entertain people. Don't be greedy, you don't know what it takes to get in the ring for the first time and perform in front of a decent crowd. These men go out there and give their all, give some respect, stop hating.
Keyboard warriors for you. The reason they judge and think everything is easy it's because they never tried anything. They're basically couch potatoes and never tried anything on their lives. That's why they can't relate to someone doing hard work, they never did anything hard for themselves, hence why they're pathetic and sad. It's easy to judge when you don't make mistakes and that's the secret to stay unhappy. Not making mistakes, not learning anything because you're not trying to live life like you really should. Giving your best, working hard, making mistakes, learning from them and become a better person because of it.

Of course he's awkward with zero boxing mechanics, but despite that if you look carefully, Devon actually has a sense of timing and seeing opportunities. He's probably a good all around athlete.
Tier one spec ops and 8 combat deployments to Afghanistan. He’s not a fighter, he’s a killer. Hes a trip you on your ass and stab you in the neck, he’s a “fuck this war is mess, we need to fix this, send in the badasses” type. He is, well was truthfully, the highest level athlete.
I do not think there is a bigger Sportsman in today's world than Davon. When you just see him you smile, no one respects sport better than Devon. Love him for that, he is my Favorit
