I like the fact that the dude is a cold blooded assassin from the Canadian special forces and did alot of tours of combat in Afghanistan and was wounded in battle. What a manly fucking man lol
Best part with Devon-Andrei match, aside from Devon winning and destroying Andrei, was the upset and sour facial expression Igor had when he handed out the belt to Devon.
When he stop Jerry press..thats the most amazing thing bcoz he got caught in very bad position and Jerry press with whole body but still got stop by Devon.
1. When he beat jerry. This may not be a huge match historically, but the intensity is the best. For me that was an incredible match, when Devon caught Jerry’s press in round 3 and managed to beat him in an awful position is still amazing to me. He never went outside with Jerry even once. 2. When Devon beat John in 2008. Much more historical moment, what Devon did that day, no man in history has ever done before. He CREAMED John. I believe nobody on planet earth could have beaten Devon on that day over all time. 3. When he beat Pushkar It was that day that he officially became number 1 right and left handed on the planet. And if I’m not mistaken, the first ever in history to hold both titles. Truly a legendary and inspiring individual.
i liked the arm wars match against michael todd aswell. the round where was hitting into MT´s kingsmove till he felt the crack and looked at him "oh yeah!" and started smiling. was super funny to me.
For me his comeback to the sport against monster was just amazing, i started watching devons matches that got me intrested in armrestling then i seen moster beat him then i watched alot of monsters matchs, seein devon pull every1 in random places an mess with juji an then monster wanting to be number1 an devon getting the shot after transforming an just doin what seemed like the impossiable at the time made me realize that you can never count devon out ever an thats what makes him such a thrill to watch
i think the reason people love Devon is number one his confidence second his trash talk / entertainment and third the fact that he is so passionate about the armwresling sport :D ...
Awesome man good match selection. Toddzilla had many amazing matches too. Him vs Zoloev and Krasi were impressive because of how dominant he won. The sheer intensity when he pulled Marcio Barboza, or when he beat Matt Mask against all odds.. many great moments in his career.
Awesome video. I like when you break down what they are doing. Doesnt matter who is armwrestling. You are so knowledgeable and explain things for people like me that dont know everythang they are doin on the table. When u explain it then im say ohh yes i see that now lol. Nice work
Great picks! I think his performance at the 2004 Super Star Showdown was a big moment for him (though not necessarily a big moment in armwrestling history). It was the first time that many Americans really took notice of him, and he had wins over Marcio and had an AMAZING hook match with John in the finals. Sure, John chose to go there, but he was very surprised by how hard he had to work to beat him.
I agree ! No wonder my favorite match of his is a loss (😂) but joking aside he gave Brzenk (who was good shape - unlike during their 2008 match )almost all he could handle. 2004 Super Star Showdown for me as well. 2012 Pushkar LH second Third I would say winning 2016 LH WAL despite undergoing surgery the same year? Class was stacked as hell with Bath , Sill , Ballinger , Mask etc. I’m not sure about the third , could be the 2012 war Vs Tim Bresnan.
In an interview Taras said he was able to win when he realised that he couldnt pin Devon sideways to the pin pad, but instead aim for the back of the table. Once he applied that strategy instead thats when he won the last 3.
He wasn't able to pin Devon with his elbow on the pad, so he started to pull it off the back. You just can't respect uncalled elbow fouls and huge amounts of PEDs - nothing honourable about it.
Yeah. They were very close. Would like to see different versions of that match. Like to seen the strap and/or hook those last couple matches. Taras had 1 way to win, he adjusted and executed.
Hello nice video coach Ray i enjoyed it, Devon is a unique person i bet many people started to like arm wrestling because of his character and people like him like i do and for the next video i would like to see your Top 3 times Arsen Liliev made arm wrestling history. Have a good day peace
When i for first saw Devon it was a match Devon vs. Matt Mask and i was amazed by his movement, technique, all of it just woke the interest of arm wrestling in me. Than i watched another matches with Devon and i was like, woah this dude is awesome. So i think its true that you said at the begining of the video. I am 16 and it's over a year that i am interested in arm wrestling. I would like to train or compete with others arm wrestling fans but there is nothing near me like AW clubs or competitions ect. Guess i'll just train at home and wait to be older
So here is my story .. I watched arm wrestling a few times .. i dont even remember who they were but when I watched a match with Devon I became fascinated with the sport .. I imagine many have this same story .. He may not be the best but I think he is the best for the sport
My favorite Devon match was his Arm Wars match against Michael Todd, for the world Title. All around awesome match. These are great, as well....especially that one against Pushkar.
So happy John got one back in 2015. John, Engin and Devon are the 3 greatest armwrestlers ever.... 4,5,6... Pushkar, MT, Cyplenkov, 7,8,9. Toddzilla, Rustam, Jerry. Levan, vitaly and such can't be ranked, only because I believe they have the greatest yet to show. It would be very very difficult to crack into that top 3... I believe nobody will ever truly give John any contest for the #1, honestly Engin either, there supreme dominance over decades is unfathomable, I believe that top 3 (John, Devon, Engin) is set in stone just about
The dismantling of Pushkar is a master calss of arm wrestling. I feel it is his biggest win, also cemeting him as one of the best of all time holding open weight number 1 in both hands
@ I could say the same for Devon bud..like I said - you think MT is going to hit harder than Mask, press harder than Cadorette, or hook/toproll better than Chaffee? It will be a very good battle but please do not make it sound like MT will walk out there and beat Devon without the Kingsmove.
Devon won so many matches by letting opponents think they still got this round at the moment he was allready comfortable he won it. He never went for pin in early rounds, the only problem he had in his whole career basically, was stopping the hit. If he could do that, he would win. But again, if he would stop it, he would go into position where he would let opponent think I still have this round. And than, trough his insane endurance, he would burn opponents in early rounds and having better endurance win later. Maybe the best approach for him would be if he stopped you, and stopped you in somewhat not an inch from the pin position, you better let this round to him and save energy for another good hit. He basically exploits almost every armwrestler weakness: stubborness. And he obviously could find those positions where he could convince his opponents they are still in a match. Devon has very high table IQ, God level endurance, and PERFECT technique, from the gripping on I cant even remember seeing last time him having worst starting position. Oh, ofc, he had pretty unique leverages also, being very tall.
He looks so hit or miss in recent non competition pulling but put on the strap and turn the lights on and you saw what can happen. I see a HUGE match being molded by crafty devon.. he can get the matches he wants, he's still top 10 in my book
Devon came back from so many "lost" positions to win against total strongmen it defies belief. Like John Brzenk defeating guys so much more massive than him, over and over, it is just stunning to watch someone you would swear is going to lose, win.
I noticed all the weird details and muscles even in devons ARMPITS they're just different than other men, due to working those odd ball muscles constantly through the decades. Crazy. (No I'm not in character I'm being serious lol)
Classic: When Devon lost round one to Michael Todd in a WAL supermatch years ago, then came back to win the match. And Todd said he was beat by Devon's technical skill and table IQ in climbing in the straps.
Match with John was one sided, with Pushkar it was left arm. Taras beat him. Match vs Michael Todd 2011, when Devon showed us how to deal with undertablers is my favorite.
Taras beat him in 2006, he wasn't prime yet imo, prime Devon 2007-2012. You can tell prime because in 2006 he and Bath were 3-3, in 2007 6 months later it was 6-0 Devon.
@@kasparov937 Devon has a losing record 6-1 to Brzenk . Moreover Brzenk smoked Larratt in his 50’s lol I guess Devons prime was only during one year like Voevoda haha. Hence he has a losing record Vs all decent NA pullers (Bagent, Brzenk, Chaffee) overrated puller
@@ahmedyoussef4147 they faced each other in seven occasions starting from 1999 WAF worlds in Japan till 2015 WAL .(Both hands .) Brzenk won the 6 out of 7 ! Lost only one cause he was injured and unprepared like he said to Bowen .
Devon beating John in 2008 is like beating Michael Jordan in a 60 second 3 point shootout but his wrist was injured and he didn’t have time to prepared up to that day. He has tons of games that he plays throughout a year and wins them all. Then you squeeze a match in when he isnt ready. Then you come out of the bleachers with no international titles or big tournaments wins and a few matches a year and you win against Jordan and say you’re the best in the world. And everyone says don’t make excuses for John but it’s totally okay to make excuses for Devon in 2012 against Tim Brensan. Maybe not the best comparison but you get my drift.
Good point, so why no rematch in 2009? Why didn't John pursue Devon to prove he really was the best, or he could have just cancelled that 2008 match and left it till a later date, that's his responsibility to come in 100%. Devon was smashing everyone around that time: Bath 6-0 John 6-0 Randall 2-0 Bresnan 5-1 Pushkar 5-1 Lupkes 6-0
@@kasparov937 John didn’t cancel the match because he didn’t want to let Neil Pickup (organizer) down. John even said in 2008 “Devon’s gonna kill me in 3 weeks if Neil sets this up”. And he said something similar in a podcast with Ryan Bowen in 2019. Not taking anything away from Devon that was his prime years. I just want people to know the facts behind that match and why it’s not historical like people say. If only John was in good shape then it would’ve been historic if Devon won.
I think we gonna see similar fighting style in Devon vs Todd next month just like Devon vs Andrey. He gonna win his hand while Todd gonna try to push through with his arm power
We already saw that last time they met. Devon lost his hand every round and it still was a very close match which ended 3:2. I wonder how Michael Todd will react if roles are reversed and Devon takes his hand. How good can he pull in that position?
Hello Coach Ray and Community, i have a question about me having small and thin hand. What is the best tecnique to avoid disadvantage. I feel like toprolling my opponent often has too mich controll with his fingers surrounding my hand. So i try to hook and not going into fighting fingers or toprolling. I would be happy about helping advice
Devon is just classy in the way he treats people. But the biggest moment for arm wrestling was his spar with the Mountain, and how decent he was to the man. No one could believe that Skinny Larratt against the BIG BIG muscle bound strongman. Thats when everyone got the education that size did not equal strength
@@Dylan-pt1iv how many matches has Devon done the kings move???? Man I see your comments all over Devon videos with nothing but hatred....What the heck is your problem???
But Devon had some "issues" in his arms and also probably is getting physically "older" quicker than others like Michael (who probably is in his strongest moment?). He said his prime was arround 33-34. That makes sense because imo he was the best from 2008 to 2012. Still can beat Michael I think. Will see.
The complaining Devon did the first round with Pushkar was that he started early its pretty clear if you watch it slow Pushkar went before time.before the ref let go Pushkar was already going so yeah.
I've heard the story, not sure if from Devon himself or anyone else, that Andre's team made fun of Devon's supposedly skinny arms. Well, unfortunately judged too hastily.
![Devon Larratt Last Training Before KOTT9 2023 [Training+Singles+Q&A]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wiBuaod3-6M/mqdefault.jpg)
His character his mind set and his passion for the table makes u want to like him awesome and inspirational guy for sure
I like the fact that the dude is a cold blooded assassin from the Canadian special forces and did alot of tours of combat in Afghanistan and was wounded in battle. What a manly fucking man lol
commas and punct.? eeeek!
His passion is like Goku. He just LOVES to compete
i like this comparison
Many peoples started arm wrestling coz of Devon
I think it's much more than "many".
Me for example 💪
I did :)
I did
Yeah because of him
Best part with Devon-Andrei match, aside from Devon winning and destroying Andrei, was the upset and sour facial expression Igor had when he handed out the belt to Devon.
😂
Do you have a link to that video of Igor?
Absolutely right. You can definitely see it really pissed him off and he didn’t try and hide it either!
Yeah Igor was hating on Devon hard.. and they were making fun of Devon saying his arms look weak lol 😆 pissed Devon off 🤬 GAME OVER CHUMPS 😎
When he stop Jerry press..thats the most amazing thing bcoz he got caught in very bad position and Jerry press with whole body but still got stop by Devon.
What are your TOP 3 Devon Larratt moments in armwrestling?
1. When he beat jerry.
This may not be a huge match historically, but the intensity is the best. For me that was an incredible match, when Devon caught Jerry’s press in round 3 and managed to beat him in an awful position is still amazing to me. He never went outside with Jerry even once.

devon v pushkar🔥
i liked the arm wars match against michael todd aswell. the round where was hitting into MT´s kingsmove till he felt the crack and looked at him "oh yeah!" and started smiling. was super funny to me.
Most known figure in the world of armwrestling history
Absolutely.
He is the kind of unique arm wrestler who can loose a tough match, take the lesson of it, rematch and win with ease... This is Devon ! lolll
No Limits Anybody in His Prime and Still he is Top 4 in 2021 One of my Idol 🦾
My favorite quotes from Devon
1. Iam way way way too strong (vs Jerry)
2. tell me iam the greatest (vs I forgot his name)
3. Yeah big boy (vs Dave)
Taras Ivakin in his prime have the best looking arm in my opinion, and amazing top roll too
Yeah he beat Devon 4:2 when they met on the table.
Nasty toproll
nastly roids
Him and Arsen Liliev had crazy arms.
the best part was rhar taras was laughing at devon in his winning positiion
For me his comeback to the sport against monster was just amazing, i started watching devons matches that got me intrested in armrestling then i seen moster beat him then i watched alot of monsters matchs, seein devon pull every1 in random places an mess with juji an then monster wanting to be number1 an devon getting the shot after transforming an just doin what seemed like the impossiable at the time made me realize that you can never count devon out ever an thats what makes him such a thrill to watch

He's damn magnificent at catching, and saving. His catch with Jerry Cadorette is pretty frickin epic. ✌🏾💪🏾🇨🇦
"No Limits" really suits Devon. Thanks for the great video coach! Keep getting stronger and stay healthy brother 💪
Devon's first point against Pushkar is my favourite arm wrestling moment.

2012 Pushkar LH second
Third I would say winning 2016 LH WAL despite undergoing surgery the same year?
Class was stacked as hell with Bath , Sill , Ballinger , Mask etc.
I’m not sure about the third , could be the 2012 war Vs Tim Bresnan.
He is simply the best❤️
3 legendary matches 🔥🔥 love it Ray
Thanks :)))
Jerry Carteret in a hook three times in a row that's my favorite moment of Devin
In an interview Taras said he was able to win when he realised that he couldnt pin Devon sideways to the pin pad, but instead aim for the back of the table. Once he applied that strategy instead thats when he won the last 3.
Yup! I remember that video. It probably was on armbets
Yep, made a small but very important change tactically, instead of pushing super hard to the side he started to drag Devon's arm to the back.
He wasn't able to pin Devon with his elbow on the pad, so he started to pull it off the back. You just can't respect uncalled elbow fouls and huge amounts of PEDs - nothing honourable about it.

devon doesn't use kings move everywhere and he proved it here....
John vs Zoloev is my favorite round, you know which one I'm talking about..
How can that be your favorite moment when the "where ya going buddyyy" moment exists??
Agreed
@Jakhveladze did you even watch the video?
@Jakhveladze what on earth are you talking about, my comment was mainly a joke and it makes perfect sense in the context of his video
@@SZ-ZS- well the video is about "best Devon larrat moments" and that match that you are referring to, is Jhon vs michael Todd...
@@martin4077 you are really slow aren't you
And the good thing is that Devon is not that old yet and you can armwrestle for a very long time and be very good at it.
But Devon had some "issues" in his arms and also probably is getting physically "older" quicker than others like Michael (who probably is in his strongest moment?). He said his prime was arround 33-34. That makes sense because imo he was the best from 2008 to 2012.
Still can beat Michael I think. Will see.
@@betofernandez5524 I guess we will have to see about that. But i hope that Devon can continue to armwrestle for a long time.
When he pulled Ivakin I was in pre school.
The complaining Devon did the first round with Pushkar was that he started early its pretty clear if you watch it slow Pushkar went before time.before the ref let go Pushkar was already going so yeah.
And he made history against Michael Todd today as well ... 🥞🤣
This gives me hope against Michael but Michael has crazy endurance too
:)))
I agree. He dont have to win. But he looking to way to do it.
I've heard the story, not sure if from Devon himself or anyone else, that Andre's team made fun of Devon's supposedly skinny arms. Well, unfortunately judged too hastily.
aussi fort que ses résultats , il faut mettre en avant son travail promotionnel , il a été un porte parole dans le monde entier du bras de fer ,
Prudnik will be back. Congrats Devon, top heavyweight in the world.
