    People love to hate Devon but NO ONE (on earth, I’d wager) trains for, thinks about, cares about or loves arm wrestling like Devon does. His earned the legend status. He’s earned the #1 spot. Like or not, he’s doing more for the sport than anyone else and there isn’t a better representative out there. If anyone of the current pullers is going to push the sport into the mainstream, it’s Devon.

      Genadi meanwhile hasn’t had a match in YEARS and Devon has beaten everyone BUT Levan. So until Genadi beats everyone Devon beat, he’s not even getting in the conversation, never mind being ranked above or even beside Devon.

      Levan and 90% or more of arm wrestlers are good at arm wrestling but garbage at promotion. Then we have 🍆’s like you who just want to shit on everything because you’re what? Jealous?

    That was a GREAT interview. I always feel the generosity in Devon in his willingness to share his knowledge. I think part of this is because arm wrestling is young and athletes are not as packaged as in other sport. They share information, both personal and professional, that you don’t see in other sports. I really enjoy this. The other part is just Devon. He’s confident and experienced, and he’s genuinely invested in sharing his knowledge to grow the sport. Thank you!

    Interesting interview. I think of this in terms of general competition. I find that people who have never competed at a high level are quick to call someone a cheater. I think they fail to realize that "cheating" isn't the right word. Their is moral cheating and immoral cheating. Inside the context of sport it's the athlete's job to find the boundaries of the rules and straddle them. Live right on the edge of what's acceptable. In American football for example: an offensive lineman who never comes close to a holding call is not going to be close to as good as he can be. If the same lineman get's six penalties in a game he's also not great. But the lineman who is always right on the edge of getting an infraction but avoids it is in the right place.

    a lot of bs, if the ref was class he would push back the taller forearm, for level , not just center and the match would have been fair. What he is saying is a load of bs. Plus the ref deducted points only from one side. Ofc he couldn't negotiate cause he is not a native speaker.

      Totally incorrect. Devon didn’t do anything that was a foulable offense while Ermes clearly regripping and breaking rules in refs grip. But to your point. Luke did level the webbing by coming down and actually made Devon move his elbow back round 2. But Nothing in the rules say anything about an athlete having to move elbow back for webbing. All it says is webbing level.
