The decibel level in the arm wrestling world must have been crazy round 1.
haha yup
Yeah I was shocked. Devon is crazy strong. But Levan is just a beast and he proved that he also has versatility and is well rounded!
I was in a stunned silence
I started screaming at my wife lol
@@flossordie2256 hahaha
The pressure Levan's press applied to devon's bicep influenced the rest of the match...Also the fatigue used by devon on just holding him those 10 seconds...He went all in...
That's da point. Levan is a genius
Devon, Levan's son, and Levan, the GOAT of armwrestling 🏆🏆🏆🏅
No,devon holds levan flop press,but devon can't hold levan top roll
@@Ralgiezyeah, when levan pressed he didn't even pin Devon, Devon fouled and had already one previous foul
@@kevinsantin6478that was a desperation foul he was under the table lmao.
Levan was ruthless, he made Devon and the world believe that he had a chance, and then simply crushed him as if nothing had happened, destroying his dreams, his hopes and his illusions of a victory.
Levan played the Best psychological game anyone could play and it worked not only against Devon but against everyone. Genius
He broke devon lol, 2 days passed and devon still silent on his channel.
@@gadashenditdo you seriously think the first thing on Devons mind after the biggest match of his life is to make a youtube video? 😂
@@hugohoeglund1424 like before he didn't 🤣🤡 hypocrisy on it's finest!
I don't think levan has a better flop press than Genadi, the thing is: Genadi had absolutely nothing against Devon in the hand department, but against Levan Devon had to put everything in budging his hand, if he changed one millimeter away from that game plan Levan could simply toproll him. As Devon said in the post match interview, what makes Levan so good is that he has multiple tools in his arsenal on top of being super mega strong (my fren).
yes, this is a good point. Mah fren
Devon would annihilate Genadi right now. You cant compare them. Levan wasnt saved by biased reffing, he won fair and square.
Its Simple - levan is 40-60kg heavier than everyone hes fighting..
@@damianen2164 Not for Tsvetkov or Kurdecha, but they wouldnt either win over Devon.
I don't know man. I mean, Devon went shoulder in and hook against Jerry and at the time he wasn't this strong. I think Devon lost this fight in his head first and foremost. After round 1 there was grounds to think Levan's wrist was not all good. I think Devon should have gone all in, surprise Levan, instead of sticking to the same routine. I mean, it was Devon himself who has preached "don't take what is being given to you" all these years but I think he failed to follow his own advice to a degree
I was definitely one of the ones that thought Devon had something for Levan based on round 1, but man was that a crushing remaining 3 rounds to watch. 😅 Respect to them both though.
Levan was far too calm during the entire round, didn't show his usual explosiveness either, mean while Devon was shaking like my chihuahua. I knew it was over
Thought the same thing until levan tried to drive sideways@@oceanwaves83 failed and went into flop press like it was his only option
@@oceanwaves83chihuahua?.. uhh ok. Idk about that. He was definitely trying pretty hard but levan was grimacing. He even said devons pronation was incredible and he had bad positioning so he gave it to and resorted to a press. Although, levan always doesn't usually do as good in the first round then as each round goes by he does better and better. So, not surprising that he did better the next round and won. Congrats to levan.
@d_no_allyn_86 of course Devon's pronation is incredible. No one is questioning that
@@oceanwaves83 still it's just childish what you said and it's like ok, it's over, he lost fair and square. My point on bringing that up is even levan would tell you devon is no "chihuahua" .. ive seen him many times say devon is very strong.
Round 1, all of our club members were standing cheering and going crazy.😎
Every following round we were super quiet and our hopes faded away with every pin. 😔
i believe every last one of us felt the same that night...
haha yep, definitely disappointing from a Devon fan perspective. I think Levan is a great face of the sport though, and Devon will probably be able to compete more often in the lighter classes, so I think it will be good overall.
That sucks. I was bummed out to buy then kinda just blank feeling like welp, this is happening.
I was alone at home, it was around 2 am screamed and almost snapped my furniture in round 1, sorry neighbours 🥲
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakesDevon won't compete more, because there's no competition for him in the lighter classes
I honestly think Levan held him on purpose to do his press. It was all a set up to show us what was on everyone's mind in the months leading up to the match.
I think thats too, He did hold him one purpose
This. And I think Levan just wanted to find out how strong Devon actually is. He was never really stressed or concerned, just analysing for a few seconds and then going for the finish.
thank god finally someone talks out of logic not emotions
Am I the only one who noticed how EASY it was for Devon to slip in every single round? Even in the last round, Devon attempted a quick hook but still slipped. Compare that to how hard it was for Ermes to slip Levan, and how Dave Chafee had zero ability to slip Levan. That just shows how strong Devon's hand is. Ermes was right... Devon Hand + Ermes Backpressure is the only combo that could compete with Levan
You're right bro
Literally
Levan had no incentive to hold. Why tire himself out? He also mentioned his wrist is still not 100%
thats partly true but i also think that levan was just trying to play it smart and not hold on too much outside of straps to conserve energy, a mistake he made vs ermes
Devon, Levan's son, and Levan, the GOAT of armwrestling 🏆🏆🏆🏅
I love how Levan wins on strength. He doesn't need quick start, early starts and cheating. he just put you down
The match was hilarious.
Devon “Levan is my limit” Larratt.
haha
Levan is everyone's limit buddy, and not having a limit doesnot mean that you always win, it means even if you lose you get up and get stronger
@@youtubeyo142nah, Devon chased Levan for 3-4 years just to get destroyed 10-0 in two matches lmao.
Devon “Levan is my limit” Larratt
@@DynomyteDewd91 your point? Atleast he chased, no one bothered to do that cause everyone knows he is too strong, Levan defeated everyone with ease but Devon loses and he is being trolled? "No limits" doesn't mean you never lose, it means you get up and fight even after you lose, did you even see Levan's latest insta post? He chose Devon as his favourite armwrestler and praised him for his dedication, he even said he himself might be the strongest but Devon is the best armwrestler in the world, the king himself is praising him but here is some nobody trolling the guy who single-handedly made armwrestling popular lmfao
@@youtubeyo142 No one else that faced Levan had their bicep explode like Larratt’s lmao.
Destroyed 10-0 in two matches and it was hilarious. Cry and cope a little harder 😂
Devon “Levan is my limit” Larratt
What does Travis want to say calling them Laurette and Shaggin'AssVilly?! 😅😂
Devon Le'RAT😂
Levan completely destroyed Devon. Levan made us all remember who the man is!
I guess I'm the only Devon fan who didn't think Levan was in trouble when Devon stopped him in the center lol, cuz I remember someone saying once that Levan could rise up slowly at the center of the table if he can't flash pin Devon directly, cuz his riser ability is the best in this sport, which wasn't what happened but this prevented me from getting excited in that round lol
I thought the same but that levan was just gonna win with the flop press lmao
and levan looked extremely calm during and after round 1, not the slightest sign of worry on his face
@@Brenton-xc2fg I think Levan is a gentle giant and a good soul and didn't want to hurt Devon by just powering through him. I'm not 100% convinced Devon had the stop. I want to believe it, but i didn't see enough strain in Levan's face to signify a complete stop at center but I could be wrong. I want to see Devon vs Vitaly now tho.
What's crazy is that the flop press was the deciding factor, but not because Levan pinned him with it (Devon lost on fouls in round 1, it wasn't a pin), but because it's what ultimately completely strained and gassed Devon's arm in round 1 lol.
Having a 400 pound guy (who's also the strongest armwrestler of all time) press into your arm and utterly stretch it out must've felt insane.
Levans wrist now isn't that strong like before he still needs recover he said in coach rays interview He's wrist is good but not 100%
just holding Levan for a while and then trying to take him off center probably took as much out of him
Good to know people can out muscle the abomination that is the King's move.
You need cope harder hypocrite clown. Against Tsvetkov it wasn't a problem. BTW, Corey West says hi lmao 🤣🤡
@@p0liw4gNot people just Levan lol
Levan turns into real life hulk when he takes all the gear he's on.
Devon didn't win center table, Levan had total control, he wasn't even trying yet.
funny how people keep sayin how calm Levan was, both of them were shakein like dirtbikes. It will be fun to see how Devon does in the 115.
levan was only shaking when he went for the flop press, he didn’t look worried not one bit when the match was at center, and he didn’t even attack like he usually does he was just warming up his wrist
uh no lol. i only saw 1 shaking
@@sanhtu77 did you not see their hands when strapping up?
@@Brenton-xc2fg im talking about the adrenaline shaking.
🤣🤡
Bro Levan didn't even looked bothered even in the setup unlike their 1st match in round one and 2 and he barely had his head shaking in round 1 this time unlike their 1st encounter.
When Devon had that slight stop, you could see Levan somewhat redlining and head shaking. This time he was so smooth with his brute force.
The one thing i wish Levan did in the last round was just let Devon take his wrist again and then just hold him for like 30secs maybe and then try and go for the pin from there so that it would have been and epic finish with everyone screaming their lungs out.
I also found that this match was more respectful than their 1st match because they were even laughing at some point when Devon got pinned and screamed "DAMMIT MAN" "DAMMIT" while also laughing, it was very amazing. Loved that moment.
This was probably the most hyped up i've been on a sport. Sad this era has ended between Devon and Levan but happy for the entertainment and all they've done individually for the sport of armwrestling.
Seeing Levan in action is always so great but against Devon, man that was unique. Would never forget these epic battles between Devon Larratt and Levan Saginashvilli💪
yeah Levan just showed up for practice lol
What's the epic about it ? Where was the battle? Levan pinned him in less than a sec? Like playing with a child.....
Did we watch the same match? He kept fighting for setup against devon. He kept saying knuckle and shoulder.
Amen, Levan needs to learn from John Brzenk. He has no slow speed, just zero to 100.
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes yeah, its pretty wild. Devon basically beats every other top guy, and is stronger than ever...and Levan just pins him like nothing. He even let Devon get as many advantages in the setup as possible...and just SMOKES him every round, easily. He even said after the match he needed the warm up from round one. Just insane. I don't see ANYONE pinning him a single time. Not for a long time, anyways.
I also don't know why Devon doesn't train with the Georgians, since each one of them SMOKED their opponents like they were nothing. Super impressive. Or at least have his son train with them...
When I saw round 1, I thought Devon was going to at least test that round. After a few seconds, I saw Levan’s face, and I knew something was coming. People cannot say that Levan is not a technical armwrester, and that it is all pure strength. Levan’s strength does play a big factor, but watching his transition was a huge shock to me. As soon as Devon tried to hit sideways, Levan matched and exceeded his side pressure, and transitioned immediately. I’m sad that Devon did not have much more for Levan, but Devon definitely proved that he has improved from their first match.
Genadi influence so much on this match, Genadi had all the information necessary to get Levan ready for Devon. That Genadi match exposed Devons weakness and Genadi prepared with Levan for a possible stop from Devon.
I wish that press never happened, I would have loved to see Levan try to get out of that scenario without a press but he knew he was in trouble and didn't want to risk gasing up playing around with Devon so he transitioned to his secret weapon, the press and that press LOOKED just like Genadis press, you can tell that Levan and Genadi polished it.
Devon had no chance, not with a press on Levans game, I loved that stop, I just wished Levan didn't transition to a press.
Yeah the press was the game changer wtf. As bad as i wanted Devon to win it was cool to see the stop at center and also cool to see Levan (who we all thought couldn't press) press.
Would devons hook have helped here? I think if he switched fast enough it might have helped. Kings move leaves you too far away from your core strength. Inside, you have everything working together.
🤣🤡
@@Bennythecoredriverlast time I saw Levan doing a press, was 2017! Against Kvikvinia
It's like Neil Pickup said: his arm reached its elastic limit in round one fighting levan's flop. Levan said devon wasn't as strong after round one in Engin's post match interview. Devon would have been better off conceding the round quicker to prevent so much damage to his arm, to have more fight left for the following round. Ah well, the result wouldn't have been much different, but the match might have gone on longer!
Man, Devon is great, still love his character. Hope to see both spar against each other one day, unlikely but possible.
Btw, you must narrate documentaries, great voice dude.
I thought that Devon did have a chance, but I never saw him taking center table around one like that. I shit my pants and said “omg no way, it’s over” then Levan flopped pressed, I saw how extended Devon’s arm was, Figured he wouldn’t recover from that, continued to watch the remaining rounds knowing the probable outcome, acknowledged Levan’s greatness as true king, then I changed my pants, and threw away my favorite underwear.
The total domination Made me miss ermes. Hope we listen these AAAURHHHHHHHH sounds again :')
Devon said last time he pulled levan he would never pull him again. Maybe this time isn’t different?
yeah, hard to know haha
He is too old and he doesn’t want to kill himself trying to improve and grow
Unless he starts full upper body training, i don't see him improving in any way that could win against Levan.
@@silvio5266 John was still killing guys at 50, also who’s ta say Devon still can’t get stronger.
@@klefthoofrobert787 and gaining tons of weight
Levan is a much better arm wrestler after all. The level of knowledge of Levan is incredible
yeah and strength difference is very big
I'M JUST WAITING FOR DEVON TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS
It was obvious to me levan allowed that to happen. He did it as a experiment, to let devon feel like he had a chance and so the main event would have the tiniest bit of excitement. I can't believe people are buying that devon did that on his own.
That press was absolutely insane.
When he transitioned to the flop press, In my mind Levan went from being just a brute strength arm wrestler to something else entirely. He flash pins people because he can, if a tool works why use another, when it didn't work - he casually peered into his toolbox, picked out another tool and finished the job.
I almost had a heart attack when devon stopped levan in the center. Even tho i noticed how calm levan was and it looked like he didnt go full power at that surge. Still my heart was pounding harder than ever before haha
I feel you man. It felt like I was getting my license for the 1st time. I had so much anxiety. I really built that match up lol
People called me crazy for saying Levan could just force Devon into a hook or press him and win, because Devon has no answer for his strength in those lanes. They said he's just going to do what he did last time lol. People are so quick to write elite pullers off as one trick ponies 🤦♂️
Well, they called Galileo crazy for saying the earth wasn't flat...
Devon needs more arm and back pressure.
yes, quite a bit
Tons
devon needs to train with ermes and gain 400 pounds of muscles, then he will destroy levan
I feel like if he had more bicep he would’ve had a much higher chance of winning but alas
It almost felt like Levon gave Devon center table to show him that even after giving up this piece to Devon, Devon had no chance. It was an impressive, crushing display from the get go. Devon will have to remove the “no limits” from his title, I guess😢
I pretty sure he didn't give it to him. That stop was legit, don't take that away from devon
This is what it was. A statement
After the loss to Genadi, Devon really trained up his inside game again. Makes me wonder why he didn't at least attempt to go inside. It was awesome to see him hold center table off of the go in round 1 and force Levan into a flow wrist press. Nobody has done that before.
i want to know this as well. After he go the stop he should have transitioned but he looked shocked and didn't act
@@Keef335 Hopefully Devon puts out a round-by-round analysis video. I'm just confused why he didn't try any other techniques. Ermes used his frame to hold back Levan and I really do think Devon may have had a chance if he went that route.
@@jamestoole3614 I believe it was his ego. He was holding onto an idea of what he thought the match would be, and the reality of the moment didn't align with that. He needed to be in the moment not attached to an idea. Levan to his credit, acted in the moment and gave up his hand as it started to fail did the correct technique for the correct moment. It all happened very fast and it might not have been a different result, but the door was open for Devon for a short time.
@@Keef335 well said. Agreed.
Levan wasn't trying. Go back and look at his breathing, he was just seeing what Devon had
then why did he lose his wrist and had to resort to a flop press
@@darkarpit He didnt lose his wrist, Devon went straight to Kings move when he felt the side pressure but got pinned.
@GiantSlayers83 he hadn't got pinned. There was a foul
Levan did it to make the game interesting. He didn’t want to destroy devon like he did in the next rounds, he wanted to give hope lol.
That's not what Levan said. And if the goal was to make thing interesting, he would have gave a round to Devon.
@@gillesplantin7350 of course he won't say it because it's not good for the competition. Levan will not go as far as giving a round, he doesn't want to lose a single round to anyone in a competition. He had to give 2 rounds ro ermes because he couldn't continue anymore but he wasn't happy about it.
@@charbelyoussef604 Levan himself is not good for competition :D. Levan said he was worried for his wrist in round 1, and it looks like it. Once he estimated it good, he moved to the press, which, I think, was is plan all along if Devon was stronger than before (stronger, but not enough strong)
People don't give Levan intellect enough credit.
@@gillesplantin7350yes, Levan's table IQ is legitimate. Also, some say that Kvikvinia trained Levan's counteracting specifically for this match
When I saw his flop press in first round...oh man I was so glad and shocked specially becouse I was like thinking and hopeing that maybe Levan has secretly prepared for that move if is necessary. It's more that it wasn't becouse you can see on his face in first round that was more like testing and warming up 😯😊🙌💪
We need to have this conversation pep
Manolo!! Hey brother! how's it going?
I think you nailed it. To me that smooth transition to press just showed that his arm was far above Devon's arm strength. Even with Devon having hand control, in hindsight it seemed like Levan was never threatened, but in the moment i was going nuts cheering for Devon 😂👍
Levan didn't lose anything. He gave his wrist.
At the start of Rnd1, it was like time stopped... we dared to believe. It just wasn't meant to be. Sad for Devon, happy for Levan.
"Won" centre table LOL
Yeah that 1st round gave everyone including me false hope, Not realizing the best kept secret That Levan actually normally gets even stronger with each round, contrary to the falsehood that he has bad stamina.
What was the exact moment when everyone realized they had been drinking the Kool Aid?
Like everyone said “if the match stops, Devon’s chances go way up”
What’s funny is the match stop and he got flash pinned three times
for me it seemed that round 1 devons hand was way higher than levans and thus levan got his hand taken, were the webbing equal, i think even round 1 levan would have toprolled devon. Or levan was just very anxious because of his absence and doubts about his wrist health.You know when you unconsciuosly limit yourself
Initially I thought OH $HIT! Devon can win! Then I saw Levan's face... And all I saw was "enough of this, time to get to work". Game over. I'm a huge Devon fan, fellow Canuck, but Levan is on another level.
R.I.P arm-wrestling channels
haha nooooooo
Overall great event. Bagent on commentary is always something else 😅
Devon was floppable after all.
hahaha I didn't even think about that
what do you mean, we all know that Devon is floppable, more like, aside Levan, flop is the only way he loses. When you commit to toproll (which he had to, he can hook everyone else, but surely not Levan), your angle is wide open for a press, and having a long arm is usually good, but not when someone is pressing you down.
I think Levan let him . If he dominates quickly no one's going to watch anymore because he's just so dominant
Yeah, the only hope for Devon against the flop press would be to take full hand control and go to a kings move. Then he would have to hold Levan for 10 mins to tire him out. The problem with this was the fact that Levans wrist was too strong for this.
You explained well, nothing more to add.
You absolutely right but in which ever circumstances Devon's techniques he had no chance to generate enough power against Levan, especially shoulders of Levan is full of muscles which backs him up, you could see it in the first round when Levan just conated him waiting Devon getting exhausted before Levan started using a quoter of his power, however the mistake Devon did and the same did on Denis by trying to press Levan repeatedly and that makes you loose all energy in seconds and the recovery takes longer than the time they had left
Is there such thing as: Keep the Pronation + Rise and commit shoulder inside to stop the flop with bone structure?
Do you think Devon’s frame couldn’t withstand the pressure?
Levan allowed him to take his hand
It was over before it began and there was nothing Devon could do period!
Round 1 was just a warm up for levan once the blood was pumped he was ready.
"Hand control" 🤣🤡 meanwhile, Levan just holds casually devon and then mocks every devon's fangirls by floppressing devon and you could see horror in devon's eyes in that moment. How devon's soul slowly was leaving him 🤣
Smoothest flop press ever, like a ballerina. Was hoping maybe Levan would gas out a bit after another round similar to round 1, but alas. The base power is just so huge, across different techniques, giving him powerful options wherever he goes. That flop though was definitely practiced.
I think levan being so much stronger then devon, that means he doesn't have to exert as much energy holding his as devon does to him
@@LinkySlinky yea, the pins actually got easier at the end.
@@patedison5902Oh yeah?! How all of a sudden "no limit endurance" disappeared? 🤣🤡
@@gadashendit strength and endurance are basically trade-off paths. 2 years ago Devon's endurance was better, but strength was lacking. That's why the first round was so different, yet the rest of those were the same
@@gadashendit I feel like you misread my comment.
Agreed, Devon would have had to be able to attack Levon during the transition, I think he just didn’t expect it. And then he was gassed out after that because he fought the press. Game over
devon did try and go sideways once but levan didn’t move
@@Brenton-xc2fg yea I meant literally moment Levon transitioned to the press like for Devon to come in with his shoulder committed quicker than Levon could press. Also round 3 I would have liked to have seen him attempt a shoulder committed hook, since he was already completely gassed by the end of round two
Now I hate the flop press just as much I hate the kings move 😂
Don't really think this was important man. The only stop just above the pin pad that he got was w/an (illegal) king's move against Levan's flop press, and, had he been able to achieve that without going under the table (a much smaller ask than any of this other win conditions beyond that point) in subsequent rounds (assuming he forced Levan to flop again and again), he likely would have punched holes in Levan's endurance and confidence. What lost him the match was Levan's ability to adjust in the setup and come over the top of Devon after the "go." It was Levan's versatility, yes, and the flop press was a part of that, but, unless the arm extension burned Devon's biceps (which I kind of doubt, but who knows?), but it was really that he changed his approach in the 2nd round onward that spelled the end for Devon. Maybe you mean that watching him flop forced you to acknowledge his versatility and that that's what you thought would challenge Devon going forward, but the press itself, while obv not ideal for Devon (because it nearly pinned him), didn't result in anything so deviated from the Larratt plan that it should have been the "moment of truth" for you. And I kind of think that you don't even think that but are looking for a unique and "big brained" angle from which to come at it for clickbait reasons ("THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING...").
Im so confused as why Devon took that route, i swore he said he was gonna meet him inside and test his frame. Such a let down
Did Devon take center or did levan give him center to prove he can press?
Both!
Devon gets too caught up in the match against Levan. When levan went into the press Devon should have came more inside with a over the top sideways pull like he normally would against a press to pull the opponents hand away from their body and sideways from the press instead of having to combat it directly by staying outside. His lack of strategy cost him exponentially more fatigue on his bicep because he tried to stay outside against levans press instead of coming partially in and sideways pronated.
Does anyone know what Levan kept looking at in round 1, before he moved to the press? He kept cocking his head to the right as though he was checking Devon’s elbow or something.
I wish he hooked at round 3
I really believe Devon should of focused most of his training on his back pressure strength and biceps. He just didn’t have the strength in those two areas against Levon but oh well.
there's no way Devon could've closed that gap, he knew better than anyone else it wasn't gonna happen, so he focused all his efforts in the one area where he thought it was possible for him to be stronger than Levan, and he actually wasn't wrong. The problem is that Levan learn from his match against Ermes, and now he performs a transition if he understands that finishing with the toproll is gonna be hard. There's no way in hell Devon can go Arm v Arm with that monster of a human being.
@@luigimanzelli3786but Levan's pronation lift was better than Devon's. So why was Devon able to stop him?
@@razor_ramon_ did you see the strap man? Devon was totally on top of Levan's hand, he said so himself as well, also holding and winning are two different things, Devon cannot go full blown side pressure war against Levan, that's i think something we all agree on :D
When i saw him take the stop and Levan transition to a press i said if Devon had any gas in the tank after a 400lb gorilla was hanging off the tip of his hand in a flop press that would be crazy. But he didn't and that was understandable.
Devon felt far from comfortable in round 1. Otherwise, he would have started with trash talk. What we saw was not Devon having control over Levan's hand, but Levan patiently waiting to execute plan B, namely the press. It was Levan's first match in a long time, so it was logical for him to take a moment to cautiously feel things out. Let's be honest: Levan knew he had nothing to fear after the very first slip.
dude watch the replay.
1st round when they slip. levan felt that devon has 0% possibility and he start laughing.
I think they simply start in a bad setup for levan and he very calmly set up the press to show everyone that he is unbeatable.
Ermes "stopped" levan, ermes made the arm of levan GO BACK !!!
Devon jsut stalled in the center.
Very Very Veeeeery different.
yeah I think Ermes was way closer
Levan crossed center table while pressing, which forced Devon off the back of the pad! Why wasn't Levan called?
Levon was playing with him on round one. Did anyone look at levans face? He was relaxed
Well, Denis was also relaxed
The press Levan was too much for Devon to resist, he would let his opponent push all the time until he was exhausted. And even though he went for the shoulder on the table, I think Genadi knew about it because Devon lost on the flop and Levan was using it, but I think Devon wasn't strong enough to quickly use the shoulder and deep hook on the strong Levan. That much because he used it with Genadi was not very effective and was not very beneficial to him.
What happened to ‘if Devon gets a stop, RIP Levan’
well, I think the people that were saying that were hoping levan didn't have a back up move. But he did. actually had 2 back up moves haha, unfortunate for Dev
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes it’s obvious that Levan was only testing the waters in round 1. But he realised Devon is not the type of dinner to play around with and got the job done in the rest of the rounds. Also, had Devon not tried to hold on to Levans flop press, he may have had more in the tank for the following rounds.
Devon gasses out is brachiodalis holding Levan
levan was faking it on round 1, he just teased all of us, i love how none of you see it... its like you are being manipulated by levan. He just didnt use all his power to make the suspense.
I absolutely love how shocked Genadi looked round one. Also fun to see Levan do the holy cross on his chest. They really thought Devon was a real threat for a while. But Devon knew his power better. Since Levan could press him there was no way to gas him out anymore. Still, I'd like to believe that if Devon keeps training and competing in 115kg and actually get stronger over time, he might get hungry again. The only issue is if he would be willing to hop on more juice to build mass (he probably needs 10kg more muscle against Levan which is insane to say). Still, Devon was extremely impressive pound for pound. I don't think a 120 kg Levan could take Devon, I really don't.
Devon was exactly 10 kilos heavier in his 2022 match against Levan, and he still wasn't at his heaviest. He was 133 kg at peak a year or two ago. So 300 lbs mark is achievable, not easy, but still.
That flop press killed his riser for the rest of the match.. So the next 3 rounds were identical to their last meeting..
i think there's more to it too, after that Devon coulnd't safely commit to an open toproll, because he knew he would just get pressed down for free, in the end Levan is really complete, and all his motions are executed with an insane amount of power, he also leart from his match against Ermes to not try to finish necessarily in a toproll if he gets stopped.
Had this match happened before Levan fighting Ermes, Levan might not had been so ready to commit to a press, the big guy is learning too (as he should).
@@luigimanzelli3786 I agree..
Triceps press is thé post powerfull live in aw
Weight matters !
after the match with Devon should we say Georgi have better wrist than Levan?
I feel like if Devon would of had him pinned after her took the wrist then he could of had a bigger chance
It’s clear Levan only hit for position in the first round. He didn’t want to risk getting awkwardly stopped at the bottom of the pin pad like he almost did in the first match from 22’ and potentially get bled out. Only when he didn’t hit in the first round, he soon found out that he needed to in the rest of the rounds. Because Devon’s static strength seemed superior. Especially with his setup etc. Round 2-4 Devon wasn’t at 100% anymore therefor it wasn’t risky anymore at that point for Levan to hit
He needed like good 10-15% more back pressure, even before press he was giving all his peak force to hold Levan's arm angle, you can't do that for long, it will gas you out pretty quickly. But with that stopping power from Devon i'm so sorry for 115kg and 105kg class guys lol
Devon's weakest link is still stamina, and always has been.
@@razor_ramon_ It's not that much about stamina, it's about efficiency. He needs more strength for Levan, because with his current strength he was able to hold Levan, but not for long, because when you are using everything you have, you will lose your powers very quickly. That's why against Levan his stamina doesn't work.
@@Xayc__ but that's what stamina is! Being able to push at the limit
@@razor_ramon_ Yeah, some people can push their limits longer, but if your opponent is significantly stronger, you will get tired much faster. Efficiency of pulling makes the biggest difference. Devon can't pull efficiently against Levan, because even when he had height advantage and took Levan's wrist, he still needed to max out to hold Levan.
Levan was at 50% first round
I totally thought Devon was going to win when he got that stoppage… and then realized him beating Levan was a fantasy when Levan looked totally fresh still after the flop press while Devon looked super tired. Devon had to win the endurance war and that clearly wasn’t happening. Levan barely looked like he had to exert himself to win each round. It seems like Levan was completely preparing himself for Devon’s one and only chance at beating him. He did say he was training the press at one point. I’m guessing the Levan vs Ermes might be similarly dominant since Levan is definitely going to train to compensate for his inability to break Ermes’ flop wrist and transition to a different lane like he did here.
Are you sure we're gonna see Ermes vs Levan II ? Gasparini is on a losing streak right now
I can't wait for the TL; DR comments below this comment.
As Devon said and as he is right about it, the 1st round is the most important in the match and it's been like that. I'm not a "typical Devon Fanboy" that upfront and I have huuuge respect for both of the athletes. Regarding the first round, noone has ever WON center table against Levan since 2018 if I'm not mistaken, and noone has ever held him at least at center table for 20sec since 2018 which Devon did in the match. I might sound stupid to some people but I think Devon could have actually won the 1st round but he had the highest pressure ever in his whole career as an Armwrestler in Round 1 ever since he startet that Sport, but he made some minor "errors" which led to him losing in my opinion. Why do I think Devon did some "mistakes" u might question, well here is my take on that.
- GO - Devon "(wins)" center table, Levan trys to drive sideways but HE CAN'T Devon is ACTUALLY too strong, Devon even makes Levan STAND UP again (which we have never seen before I think after Levan tried to drive sideways since he normally just wins center table and drives sideways). They continue to hold each other for a quiet some time, but here the first "mistake" happens from Devon's side, he loses his so much renown patience and trys the same "jiggling/testing" of Levan's side pressure which he did to Denis too, Devon moves him a bit off of the center to his side, but in a blink of an eye Levan gains back the ground and probably a tiny bit more than he had before and they are at table center again, Devon and Levan still being equally strong.
*Why* do I think it was a mistake from Devon's side?
Devon had the overall better position before that, higher webbing, Levans wrist was slightly backwards I think just a tiny bit and he held him where he wanted him to be, but then LOST more ground than he gained by "testing" Levan instead of just continuing to keep Levan where he is and WINNING his wrist which probably started to become a bit tired slowly.
*Why* do I think Levan's wrist became tired?
Well if we watch really close just before Levan transitions into the press, BEFORE he started the transition his wrist started to give up, u can see that for like half a second or so (I'm not 100% sure about it, it could have been on purpose aswell, but all of Devon's backpressure went into Leava's finger and wrist so I doubt even Levan can withstand that for too long). Levan did not move with his body but his wrist gave up a slightly bit and then made a split second decision to transition in the press. At the end, if Devon would have been a slightly bit stronger in his biceps (wink wink everyone telling him that lol) he maybe could have contest Levan's flop wrist press in a better position (by standing up again like he did against Dave Chaffee) than trying to Kings Move (btw utterly stupid ruling imo from "East vs West") since Michael Todd should have gotten disqualified like 10 times during the Frank Lamparelli match since his humerus (bone) went in a declining position (even if it's JUST 1° or 2°) so many times and if u make rules they should apply to EVERYONE!
The first round was like a top fuel dragster race, they started equal went hood to hood, tire by tire half the distance until Levan ignited the Nitros (flop press) and crossed the Finish line first.
I think the 1st round was much closer than everyone thinks, the 1st round just lost its "representation of the match" due to Levan winning all 3 following rounds quiet "effortless", but getting stretched out by Levan completely (LOL that wording) cost Devon a lot of power as Levan also mentioned, which makes a lot of sense since Devon can't stretch out his permanently angled T-Rex arms at all normally.
Regarding what you just said in the video, I want to say I think Devon tried to hook Levan actually or he tried to go into a press himself but it looked more like a hook to me (Round 4 before straps where Devon slipped kinda "ugly") u can see he rotated his right shoulder in and also gripped more like a hook than trying to toproll but right after the GO in a brief second Devon noticed he can't hook or move Levan at all which resulted in why he abandoned it and slipped kinda "ugly".
At the end I wanted to say, the 1st Round of the Devon vs Levan match was probably the best round I have ever watched in Armwrestling, even my adrenalin was pumping just watching it.
Overall really really good event, I hope Georgi will recover again asap and wish everyone who has read till here a nice day/night, stay healthy!
Do you guys think if this was WAL rules Devon would have won ? Levan never actually pressed Devon to the pad with that flop press once he dipped below the table. Not that it matters whatsoever just a hypothetical
would have liked to see it, do they have shoulder can't cross center rule in WAL? I would still think Levan is big favorite
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes oh definitely !! He’d be a huge favorite no matter what but I honestly can’t remember for the rule stuff it’s been so long since I watched a wal match
I do not think Levan does the same to Denis. That is the fight to make atm.
I can't get that devons fans believe that he got a chance to win😂😂😂😂😂 on the first round levan was realizing how his wrist was only soooo ....
I think Levan gave Devon 10 seconds by respect for him but he could have pinned him in 2 seconds. In round 1 Devon is shaking and giving his all while Levan is not showing any sign of struggle…
Devon lost because he forgot everything he'd worked on in the last year and 10 months. After he fought Levan last time, he finally realized that pulling in a purely defensive way was NOT the answer, you HAVE to be able to attack and go forwards, which exactly what Devon had been doing, up until this match. Even in the first round, they were both just holding centre, yet Devon was still hanging off Levans arm, just waiting to go into the kings move, I knew it was lost then. Very disappointing...
Exactly 👏🏻
Levan gave up wrist to press. Devob didnt took it
I knew Levan would have a flop press, and he showed this. Rooted for Devon but it was a clear 60-40 for Levan.
actually levan in every single round , in a winning position had the shoulder at the end under the table lv, that wa actually forbidden but not a single time referty stopped him or say something, to the other side every time devon do just a little fault the referty imediatly call it.
No answer to a flop? Didn't Dev crush Jerry in their last pull?
Jerry>Levan
It doesnt matter where you start, devon lost but won the hearts, he tried to play it very smart, levan smells like farts.
This match also shows that Levan's endurance isn't nearly as bad as most haters claim to be. Devon actually looks more gassed than him after round 1.
Devon sacrificed his endurance for the sake of strength. Because muscle fibers can't do two jobs! It's either one or another.
@razor_ramon_ Good point. Devon tried to rely on endurance the first time and failed; this time he worked on strength but still failed. Now he'll just have to accept the fact that Levan is way out of his league.
