Am i the only one that thinks the match against georgi was the most comparable to a match with levan? Georgis wrist and side pressure were the strongest devon has faced recently, and it seemed more difficult than the denis and ermes matches. i think this recent experience has the most carry over to the levan match
The defeat against Genadi was also very necessary, not only because it led him to train his internal game making him more versatile, but he learned to never play with your opponent again when you have the possibility of beating him, Devon called him Ego, this lesson made him He Flash pined Ermes and Denis instead of playing with them, his loss against Genadi basically led him to be the champion.
Nice vid buddy. I first discovered you right before Devon and Levan's last match. Dunno if you remember your background music back then, but your voice, the music, and the content were what kept me going during a difficult period back then. Thought I'd share. Onwards and upwards
yeah you can really see it on his face when he loses his soul. You see it in the genadi match at the end too when genadi pulled through his shoulder press. Those are the only times I've seen it
I want Devon to beat Levan so bad its not even funny. Its all I think about all day, I picture Levan getting stopped and Devon entering devil mode. I dream about this match. If Devon loses im killing myself
I think Devon super duper fans have a very limited intellect, and even Travis agrees, but I still want Devon to win. Just because it would be legendary. It would be perfect. It would be such an incredible story.
I LOVE Devons pronation exercise! SERIOUSLY! I had ulnar nerve damage and his pronation exercise directly targets the carpal tunnel at the thumb. As well as at the ‘cubital tunnel.’ Which is what the ulnar nerve travels through on the inner elbow. Which is literally right underneath the pronator muscle! It’s been suuuper helpful for me! A couple years ago I was doing 5lbs for high reps. Now I can do 105lbs! Low reps but more than singles. I definitely have to keep my arm rested on my thigh though. IDK HOW he does it whilst also curling the weight that’s amazing!
Larrat has one of the more inspiring stories I have ever seen as a sports watcher in the last 25 years. If he beats Levan it will be one of the greatest stories of all time that will never be told by the majority of the general public.
In the video they made it seems like Genadi destroyed Devon. Devon could've won, he knew that he made some mistakes that cost the match. Genadi and Devon have similar strengths. 1 round Devon was in full control.
@@emanuelplaza284 I agree it was very close, but if you watch what Genadi did in the second to last round, he actually survived and pulled through almost the same position Devon had him in on round 1. That being said, I wouldn't say Genadi could've done that in round 1 when Devon was fresh, but who knows honestly. If you armwrestle or watch armwrestling more than just Devon matches then you should know that you don't use all your strength in round 1 if you end up in a bad position. If you end up in a bad position in round 5? Yes, you use all your strength. So again who knows what would've happened if Genadi used all his strength in round 1. I just hate how everyone discounts what Genadi achieved and pretend like you can change round 1 and everything else would play out the exact same.
@@humanbean3 Devon had him on the ropes in the final round and Genadi pulled through, forcing Devon off the pad.. that was great.. and the foul that everyone keeps crying abt should have been called even earlier as Devon drifted outside the pad for a split second..Genadi started that first round at a disadvantage as noted even by the commentator..Genadi was shaking his head and Devon was yelling at the ref to say go..and the round started anyway...no readjustment of the strap.. that's how Devon got in a dominant position in the first place
@@karuonline3294 that entire match was about who could start off in a better position and it was whoever was on the right side because the other ref wasnt watching the other shoulder lol. Devon megafans have a very hard time seeing things objectively. Or intelligently....
Devon didn’t train for Genadi with heavy weights like is now. He only did table time because when he tried to push his bicep it still bothered him. I’d also say that Devon’s power inside was good enough against Genadi except he didn’t have the inside conditioning.
Yes PEP you are exactly correct. If you want to improve your 225 bench - don't bench 225 - bench 300, 400, 500 etc. Higher strength will pull up everything - starting strength, muscular endurance, efficiency, static strength, eccentric strength.
Yea the ol Genadi and Hristo vs Devon match was tough to watch lol. When Engin offered Devon a rematch with Genadi before Devon even walked off stage, that confirmed it for me that Engin also saw Devon got screwed lol. Between Hristo and Devon goofing around to much cost him the match. Awesome video man 💪 I believe today's version of Devon beats all past versions of Devon 💪🎃🎉
I happened to miss Devon vs Denis from a few months ago. I was curious if they would meet again and they did. I was impressed how strong Devon was in that match. Curious to see Denis vs Levon. Then after that.. rematch Devon vs Levan
I don't understand why Devon never knew this, while deluding others into the hype against Levan the first time. To make matters worse, Devon Delusionals were attempting to entertain the idea that his injury wasn't due to improper training.
But what happen if devon lose that same way he lost last time, that means that he always was stronger than Gasparini, and that genadi can beat him again
if it looks the same, that would be a bit confusing, since it really seems like he got way stronger. I think it is very likely that he is at least way closer, if no iinjury
As long as Devon doesn't make Levan angry this time, he stands a much better chance. I've always believed his so called "mind games" achieve the opposite of what his megafans pretend. It just makes some of his opponents train harder and what to beat him more. If it was actual "mind games" and not just pride/ego, he would be pretending to be weaker and super nice. I guarantee that's even written in some form in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
There's no way you are having trouble realizing the thumbnail is fake. That's literally an edited image of Devon today arm wrestling Devon of the past.
number 1 contributor to efficiency isnt maximal strength but technique. i would say second is maximal strength. because someone who is maximally strong will not mean he is efficient if he doesnt know how to apply his strength in an efficient way, aka technique.
@@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes yes that is true mindaugas would gas out to denis or richard. but thats not because denis or richard lupkes is more efficient, its because mindaugas isnt strong enough to move them in the first place. if you give mindaugas the most efficient setup, in terms of leverage and angles, and have denis start in the least efficient position to armwrestle from, i believe mindaugas will still gas out first even if he has the obvious more efficient position. my point is that, in certain scenarios, gassing out first doesnt mean you are less efficient, i can also mean your opponent is just way too strong.
Perfect analysis, I have been following this sport ever since Devon pulled Braun Strowman from WWE, and back then I was addicted to WWE and especially the armwrestling matches there, Braun Strowman was an insanely strong guy and devon played with him 😅, then I became a fan of Devon 2-3 months before his match with Levan 💪, now the rematch is coming again 😁
This basically shows how close this upcoming match will be, yet there are still idiots calling people "delusional" for saying Devon will win. We have our reasons and it's not like we would believe the Whisperer would win against Levan or some shit.
Well, it does look like a pretty convincing win for Levan since... he beat him first time and Levan looks big asl. Harder to make a case for someone like Devon despite the fact he is no. 2 in the world.
In 2022, Devon found out that training Only endurance and not maximum strenght Is not enough to beat a phenomenom like Levan. In 2024, Devon Will find out that only training hand and Only hand Is not enough to beat a phenomenom like Levan.
What started the evolution of the "new" Devon was not the Levan match. It was the MMT match before that. Devon underwent some issues before (and during Covid) and came to that match unbelievably motivated, having put on a ton of weight, and surprising the world by taking the number 1 contender spot for a match with Levan. If smthg switched in Devon, it was before Levan, it was for MMT. Then the journey just went on :)
Nowhere near as strong as Genadi? Dude he beat him inside 2 rounds what are you talking about. Their inside strength was at least equal in the first part of the match, later on Devon lost because Genadi had better endurance
i am SUPER excited for this match. I think this will be the first time Levan actually has to use most or all of his technique and table IQ. Its kind of funny...I'd actually be impressed with either athlete that wins. If Levan wins, he will surprise me that he rehabilitated so much, and still has prowess over his toughest opponent yet. If Devon wins it will basically be the same surprise, plus an underdog upset
i see, so one of the world's greatest arm wrestlers just learned after 20 years: "maximal strength is good for arm wrestling" could have just asked me instead
If he can just stop levan and make one round over 1 minute, he wins the rest. I just don't know if his gains are still enough because levan nearly ripped his arm off.
I have an unfortunate feeling that Devons training could lead him to surpass Levan, but he hasnt had enough time just yet. If he did this for another year, and got to 300 Id put money on him in a heartbeat. I love Levan, but it would be better for the sport if Devon wins and they get a 3rd match. So I've got my fingers crossed it happens

Exactly
Georgis hand control was definitely on point but his side pressure or back pressure is nowhere near levan
nah georgi doesn’t have much side pressure, just hand control, ermes, levan, and dave all have much higher side pressure
georgi give up before he lost his wrist

No... bald v2 of Devon is 13, maaaybe 14.1701% stronger than Hair Devon.
I think "Wolverine Hair and Whiskers" Devon showing up is the only Devon that stands a chance against Levan
Wolverine Devon is best Devon imo
@@alejandroromano4799 Bro homeless devon is hair devon bug homeless but Bald devon is on another Dimension
Devon has evolved alot not only in terms of strenght but startegy and mindset, that loss to levan was so necessary.

2:04 if this happens again to their match Levan will probably starts whispering at Devon's ear "fight me Devon, Fight me"
This will put it in perspective for all the levan supporters.
This video made me understand how strong Decon should be right now and why people are giving him so much credit to win to Levan. Awesome video.

actually the genadi is about equal to levan match.
genadi caused devon to train his inside more and levan his center

Thank you for the Video, and Explanation!

He also realizes that endurance will not win the match because Levan needs to suck back a tank of oxygen between each round.
Also, Devon is also getting more stem cell therapy.

He applied the "weak and friendly" strategy with Ermes though. It worked. I think it really depends on the personality of the opponent.
@@denebstudios.8018 That's because he's not "applying a strategy". He's just being natural Devon.
Devon's mind games these past few months have been more of trolling.

Well building endurance is also a thing to consider, this is not by only training your maximal strength that you will be endurant
