Devon's metabolism finally started slowing down in his mid 40s. Now that he's giving his body exactly what it needs, instead of a bunch of extra junk trying to add weight. Now he's feeling better, and obviously performing much much better. Thanks for a great interview Ray. #LetsGoLarratt
Levan and Denis are still ahead. He can't move ahead of Levan without beating him imo. Denis went 7 years of competition without losing on lh or rh and Levan has gone 6 years losing only 2 rds to Ermes on rh. If Devon beats Levan it changes things though.
@@purple8289agree. Both Levan and Denis reached heights that nobody else(including John) haven't reached as far as peak. But John will always have the best resume and be considered the most legendary.
I reckon the op is taking about career achievements, not highest peak. Devon and most fans would agree that Levan takes this one. But John has been at the top forever, and Devon is doing so much for the sport, plus he has great accolades as well and he is crushing lads left and right now. In this regard, Denis, as great and strong as he is, is not close, I think.
You’re the face of arm wrestling in the world Devon. I’m from Cambodia and wouldn’t have watched arm wrestling until I saw you. You’re such an exciting arm wrestling warrior to watch. Keep up the mind games because you’re attracting ppl to arm wrestling.
It's so great seeing the analytical side of Devon in these interviews and also getting to see the showman that builds up and popularizes the sport. Great stuff, Coach Ray.
I’m a huge Genadi fan and even I can admit you got screwed over by the refs and would have won that match 3-0. The refs even tried to do it again to you in your match with Denis but you persevered through it that time. I hope all of the bad referee calls come to an end for you. 💪
The left hand Georgi match too. Georgi's elbow is literally way off the pad at the back for like 20 minutes, Devon slides his elbow on the pad once (without lifting) and gets a foul. Also got denied a running foul win in that match. Its bizarre when I hear "some people" (let's face it, its just the brain addled haters spewing the pressurized hate vomit their souls are filled with), continuously saying how "Devon cheats" -- its nonsense at such an obvious level it betrays their delusions and makes me embarrassed for them. I hope Genadi gets all healed up and back at it again soon. We need a rematch!!
Yeah man that 3rd round call is bs ..Even if they want to call a elbow foul denis lifted and gave up first and they called on devon ..I think bill is the only fair ref ..You can see hristo giving fake warning on devon in Ermes match also
@@Filip-ip6ly Us Georgians are a proud people. We like to see our athletes win matches out right and fair. Not by referee interference. Nobody in Georgia that I know was proud of that victory. ვარდი უეკლოდ ვის მოუკრეფავს 🇬🇪
I hope you definitely win Devon. Me and my three kids are going to watch. Both boys really enjoy watching you on the table, even my 6-year-old girl is glued to the screen hehe 😂 Best of luck and make him cry. Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
2:00 not something i ever thought about but i think he's onto something. i'd like to see them do something similar to champions league / premier league. if only the sport wasn't so injury prone. armwrestling teams would be cool, i know we have east-vs-west but what about more regional.
if you try and can't pin Devon during a practice match when he has given you the advantage, I agree you won't stand a chance in a real match. Georgi probably doesn't know Practice Devon style isn't his competition style.
Well to be fair we don't know if Georgi tried to give 100%, maybe he also did the same shit as Devon. Fwiw I think Devon will smash him but the above is still true
They used an application-based system for the invites weirdly enough. Only a few people were sent invites from the jump, the rest actually had to contact WAL to register and receive an invite if there was a match to be made.
Honestly, I wish Devon wasn't facing Levan just yet. If some how Devon beat him, everyone will say it was because of the injury and yes, who knows, that might be a factor here. I'd rather Levan comes back, shows that he's still as dominant as before, and THEN face Devon so people don't throw out the excuse of Levan's injury if he loses. It's almost a winless match for Devon.
It doesn't matter what people say .. it's Levan who's wanting he's throne back not the other way around Devon just needs to beat Levan like he defeated Denis & keep moving.
Ehm.. no? Levan is still KOT master of the universe. Nothing changed. Devon merely "collected" near 100% certain wins, like Prudnik, Dave, Denis, now Georgi. It IS and WAS predictable. Devon is merely buying time and hopes he can get ready for the Levan match. Levan has the hammer so he is the king. Devon must proof his worth. I agree with your Levan April argument, though I root for Levan. If I would be Levan I would make 100% sure that I am 120%. If Devon then loses, he might never get a chance again.@@HafizShivji786
How likely to hurt yourself in a match ? it would be very hard to compete every weak without injuring yourself. ? Could it be possible to do tag team event ? country vs country example best of 9 5 player per team... You can tag your teammate at any point during the match.
Vitaly match would be stupidity. He will be a nightmare for Devon and could possibly derail his run towards levan. Although he's still not going to beat levan. Vitaly match is far more interesting than seeing the same levan match again though
All of the internet know-nothings who said Ermes would destroy Devon...then made excuses about Ermes only having 30 days off (even though Devon also, only had 30 days off). All of the internet know-nothings who said Denis would destroy Devon...then made excuses about Denis not having enough prep time (despite having 8 months and was obviously cycled on). So if Devon beats Georgi on less than 30 days rest and prep, weighing 100 pounds less than him, what will be the excuse then? When will it count for the people who dislike him? The guys are all prepping longer, resting longer, and blowing themselves up to enormous sizes but he's still beating them.
Devon looking younger and healthier. I think the future of PED’s are going to be a lot different moving forward. No more heavy AAS cycles that age you and bloat you. Devon is proving stem cells and gene therapy is superior for both health and strength.
Morozov suffered digestion issues too its definitly related to PED usage and not age, John is older than Devon and i haven't heard of John with stomach issues... but then again John isnt taking anything besides TRT
Today he is the best, quite easily in my opinion. Levan is out, Georgi will lose, and Vitaly has no press nor transition. Devon beats every person on the planet in a supermatch.
@@AdamLighter1 yeah but we all know Levan whether it’s on paper or not is still the best right hand. I am no very excited to see the rematch when it happens.
@@justaballer9579 I’m a big fan of Devon but I just can’t say that. On paper yes he is number one today but Levan. Either way, I can’t wait to see the rematch whenever he gets healed up.
Georgi is way to big. He gas out way to fast. If Devon kings him once or twice its over in a supermatch.Think Devon already knows this. He knows how he's on the table on the left after all.
If NFL players can smash into eachother for an entire game every week for 16+ straight weeks, then Armwrestlers should be able to do a supermatch per week for a few months or a tournament once per month for the entire year
Devon usually goes into open toproll/kings instead of that wedging of the arm to get a stop. He can and has done the wedging before, but it's risky for the elbow. Michael Todd used to do it a lot. What's interesting with Levan, is if Devon can manage to get that stop, it usually requires a press to put down a good kings mover. Levan may not be able to transition to a press since he's so big. Many pullers don't. It's the reason why Devon feels so confident with Georgi. If Georgi had a press, he could have easily beaten Jerry, but it just didn't happen.
No. He may not be able to transition to a press because he is so big, but because his style often is to "drop down" with his weight. So its not because he is big but because he drops down AND is too big or was too shy to go up again. The difference between Levan and Devon match vs Ermes is that Devon stayed ABOVE and Levan dropped down with his weigth so he couldnt press Ermes to the pad.@@ntomnia585

Not gonna lie when he started telling his story about Travis I was crying in my truck this dude can tell a story like nobody else lol
🎵Sheddin a tear in my Chevy, heart feelin heavy, 90 down 95 😢.. 🎵
You gotta love the respect Devon gives his friend, Matt. Much respect sir.
This interview is a great example of why ppl like Devon. It was a delightful conversation. Thanks to both.
yeah because for once he is just respectful and not a jackass about it....

It happens. What once was easy eventually puts you into a food coma and it just drags you down. Been there.
@@ntomnia585 I know what you mean! I'm the same age group as Devon, my metabolism has recently slowed down too. I really took it for granted.
Devon I an Ermes fan I am still hurt for the loss but I wish you luck, you are becoming the possible goat with John and you are an amazing person.
Levan and Denis are still ahead. He can't move ahead of Levan without beating him imo. Denis went 7 years of competition without losing on lh or rh and Levan has gone 6 years losing only 2 rds to Ermes on rh. If Devon beats Levan it changes things though.

Possible he always was the real goat my god.
@@purple8289they have done little compared to devon. Devon had more matches in one yr then levon had in his entire life. Give me a break

Haven't watched a second of the video yet, but just wanted to say regarding the thumbnail that the Tom Nelson/Travis Bagent meme will NEVER DIE!😂
I fully support time off before Levan. I still think he should hire a pro nutritionist.
.
Devon was right about Georgi quitting every round.😂
So cool to hear Devon finally talk about game of arms. And blows my mind Ray never seen it
I think Ray has seen it, it sounded like Devon was talking about an unreleased episode?
@ChrisJaesun Unreleased for tv, but it has been on youtube for ever
lol devon is halarious, "im pretty sure hes trying to pin me, but my arms not going down"
Fantastic interview. Enjoyed every second of it. Now you have to get Travis in there and let him tell the story. That's gonna be wild.
"We will see a clinic on quitting" lol that was funny shit from the Champ Champ.
Bro, they should try reverse arm wrestling as a novelty. Where arm wrestlers still grip up the same but try to go opposite direction
Devon is my hero. No hommo 😂
That steam cell stuff REALLY boosted his confidence!!!
best show man ever
I look forward more for rays interviews than anyone else PERIOD. Lol
Just got off work and I see this. What a great surprise ❤
Same brother.
I'd love to hear Travis tell the Game of Arms getting jumped story!
You two are too funny together.
GREAT INTERVIEW
u guys are the best and also engin, the three of u bringing fun and the spirit to the sport

Devon is so smart and good for the sport is crazy
THIS time it's personal... 🤣
I agree ray!! He gets a lot of matcha by the fake impression lol “ ohhhhh so strong “ lol! Love you both!
You got this champ!!
Bro I’ve travelled the world, but the Bulgarians handshake and grip strength is next level, it’s just a crazy genetics, very close to Russians…
let's go, let's make armwrestling as entertaining or even more than NBA! why not, right?
NBA? It's a flop fest full of overpaid crybabies that live behind the 3-pt line.
Forget the King of the Table. I want to see that cut episode of Game of Arms!
Ray is definitely top 5 favorite arm wrestling celebrities
Who think Devon has 100hundred pair or thoses camo pants????
Ray You forgot to ask him if he showered 💪🤣
ok we need to see that match and that fight NOW
if you try and can't pin Devon during a practice match when he has given you the advantage, I agree you won't stand a chance in a real match. Georgi probably doesn't know Practice Devon style isn't his competition style.
Well to be fair we don't know if Georgi tried to give 100%, maybe he also did the same shit as Devon.
Fwiw I think Devon will smash him but the above is still true
April against Levan? Hopefully he is recovered fully then and doesn’t feel pressure to pull too soon.
“ we will see a clinic on quitting “
Yep, WAL was invite only during the SM era.
They used an application-based system for the invites weirdly enough. Only a few people were sent invites from the jump, the rest actually had to contact WAL to register and receive an invite if there was a match to be made.
I love watching Matt furiously trying to pin himself at WAL lol
You better not lose!
Release the game of arms footage!!
Micro-quits 😂😂😂😂

Seeing where the control starts to bite
WE NEED THAT TRAVIS FOOTAGE 😂😂🙏
Georgi please do what Genadi did don't go for the direct pin. Hold it centre and wait for your moment
Devon is the face of arm wrestling in the world, I started watching arm wrestling because of him , the match, it doesn't matter anymore 😂😂
Love how Georgi and Devon are both not confident in the rules for this match.
😈😈😈🤴🏽DEVON 🤴🏽😈😈😈
“Micro quits” 😂😂😂
RELEASE THE TAPE!!!
as a BG guy i hope if Devon lose to publicly apologize to Georgi for all the Nonsense he talks about him
That's an awesome tshirt Devon is wearing
very good
yes

Genadi never quit
He has a warrior's mindset, I hope he can return in form
Try to beat Georgi without getting adventageous set up
Devon, dont understimate Georgi.. same like you did for Genadi..
A friendly advice
A "Clinic on Quitting" hahahaa
I like how Devon puts destroying and desperation move in the same sentence :D :D :D
NGL there is literally no one who can beat Devon right arm RN
Does Devon still get the match wit levan if georgi wins?
so they’re facing again? didn’t they face twice? one recently on left I believe and one years ago on right or was that left also? is this one right?
Huh?
Pause at 0:57 and look at that Elbow..
All of the internet know-nothings who said Ermes would destroy Devon...then made excuses about Ermes only having 30 days off (even though Devon also, only had 30 days off).
All of the internet know-nothings who said Denis would destroy Devon...then made excuses about Denis not having enough prep time (despite having 8 months and was obviously cycled on).

You forgot about the people saying the matches were rigged.
Georgie will be no. 1 someday. Give him time he will be. I love debon i always bet on devon.
I'm gonna find that episode
Devon looking younger and healthier. I think the future of PED’s are going to be a lot different moving forward. No more heavy AAS cycles that age you and bloat you. Devon is proving stem cells and gene therapy is superior for both health and strength.
Tbh I Wanna see Ganadi rematch, when he gets better.
Morozov suffered digestion issues too its definitly related to PED usage and not age, John is older than Devon and i haven't heard of John with stomach issues... but then again John isnt taking anything besides TRT
Is Devon wearing the green suit in press conference ?
Cameo pants Devon’s wins bet now! Win east money
We need that game of arms season on youtube
I would never have said this last year, but today I believe Devon is the 2nd best arm wrestler on the planet, right hand.
I think right this moment he’s #1. Levan and Genadi are recovering and ermes lost to him.

Delusional beyond comprehension
If he couldn't do it on Dev's weaker arm, how is he doing it on the right, exactly?

If NFL players can smash into eachother for an entire game every week for 16+ straight weeks, then Armwrestlers should be able to do a supermatch per week for a few months or a tournament once per month for the entire year
