Same thing happened last time. He lost to Levan, said he'd go down to lower weight classes, fought Prudnik for the 115kg belt, then went back to competing against Super Heavyweights. Now he lost to Levan again, said he'd go down in weight again, will fight for the 115kg belt again (defending it this time), and will probably go back to fighting Super Heavyweights again afterwards. It's the same issue as last time - not enough competition for him in the 115kg category. He was 120kg/260 lbs against Levan. A 5kg/10 lbs weight cut is nothing. He'll basically be as strong as he was for the Super Heavyweights.
Another problem is the weight class system in general...Levan and Devon are in the same "Super Heavyweight class" but Levan is still too big...I'm pretty sure he outweighed Devon by like 60lbs in this match lol? Weight moves weight, Levon is strong because he's just simply bigger, let's do this same exact match but with Devon the same weight as Levon, would have been an entirely different outcome
@@jeffreyboucher344 stupid argument. When devon desotyed gerogi his 160kg whereas levan is 170kg you had nothing to say about gerogi weight because devon won but when devon loses its always the weight argument. Keep coping cause levan is the best to ever do it
I believe he should start training his left arm again and start dominating the weight classes. His right is probably too strong for anyone in the 115 and 105 class, his left arm on the other hand still have some competition.
Ha ha I am levan fan but I laugh after this levan is a monster which is made specifically for arm wrestling genetics is so much superior but Denis genetic is more superior than levan
No, and i mean, no one at this point in time can beat Devon pound for pound. Not even Levan if he were willing to drop down to 120kgs. Right arm that is 💪
@@darthvader7886 I know what you mean pal. The delusional Devon fans think holding Devon in the centre is as good as a victory. Even though Levan wasn't attacking. Levan was just seeing how his wrist felt and looking at the grip he had. Once he knew they were fine. He proceeded to press the hapless Devon.
@@darthvader7886 For balance i would add that Devon had a VERY good setup round 1, so I think that Levan couldnt top-roll him (he is intelligent, he knows when to use energy and when not), then went to hold him (in an efficient position), analyse the situation and then pushed sideways, opened the arm somewhat and then pressed him. So i would say he stopped him but too a large extend because of the very good setup , which looked like Devon vs Denis (where Denis had low/supinated hand), but of course Levan could overcome the shortcoming. Without the setup it would have look like round 2. On the other hand you dont know what Levan was thinking, maybe he wanted to drain energy from Devon (which worked 110% of his capacity while holding Levan center)
Devon will go for a 3rd shot against lavan in 2025 for sure! Mark my words. Some will laugh but this is what gonna happen. Because devon will get 2 times stronger every time he gets defeated, now this will make him 3 times stronger he will defeat lavan before he retire.
He doesn't need to quit SHW, just because he lost to Levan, he just won't ever be number one no more, but he has good chances against others in the SHW so many want to pull him, he should make use of the SHW category while he can and the 115 kg
@@SDSen yes i agree we fans want to see that. But Devon him self. It is no goal for him in supers. To pull them it dosent take him anywhere. Thats my point.
Levan had frame to be great arm wrestler when he was young boy. Don't give me that "not superior genetics" when he was first found in the gym by arm wrestler coach who saw his potential immediately. Levan just happened to have great genetics for drug response aswell and that is what made him the #1. Nobody can grow almost 200kg without correct genetics. That is why Devon is 120kg and starts to only become fat...
@@Baize86yeah but even Larry Wheels talked about what an insane amount of steroids Levan is on. These guys all use, but Levan is using to a point where he probably won’t live to see age 50.
So the Devon fangirls are saying it's because of the weight difference. It was Devon's choice to come in at that weight. He had months to prepare. He could have come to the match well over 300lbs. But I've not heard one of you state that it was a mistake to come in so light.
Dev Larrat will always remain to be our hero in our hearts....He's Beyond a Legend... True Warrior ,, The Face of Arm wrestling and more so he has helped the sport grow a lot..... Thanks Pradeed for your honesty... Big up Man...I salute you
Just go ahead and put a checkmark in the win column for Levan against ANY of those Devon beat. Lol, I mean wtf are you talking about. If they can't be Devon, they can't beat Levan, simple.
Devon is not done. He is still better than all the rest. It's Levan that's in a league of it's own. Levan is the best ever. It doesn't mean that Devon is not good or finish.
Levan is basically the one who is done. Where does he go from here? Nobody really even wants to arm-wrestle him because they KNOW they can't win. Are we really excited to see him 4-0 opponents with basically 0 chance at losing? That is not very promotable.
@@ThrashTillDeth83 brooohh.. He faced the strongest arm wrestler in the world two times. First time he was totally crushed by levan. But he is ready to being crushed by the same guy again😅
@@phothewin6019 well before the match a lot of devon’s fans thought he’s going to win knowing the weight difference but now that he lost all excuses are showing up
@@ushevy3 So you just ignorantly assumed someone said something? The original commenter didn't even say they were a Devon fan or were making excuses for him. All they did was make a neutral statement that said that 60kg is a big weight difference. They could be a Levan fan and that statement would still be true.
I don’t know why he’s got to go down in classes, he should clean up the rest of the super heavy class. Morozov, Kurdecha, Vitaly, Genadi rematch, Ermes rematch etc. 2nd place in super heavy might as well be 1st place. Levan is in a league of his own, he’s like super super heavy. We all know he’s going to dominate the lower classes in blowouts with no problems
Would be good if he does that, because then Levan dont have to compete against them (saves energy, more time etc.), becaues he can easily say "Look I beat Devon and you didnt beat him, so i wont waste my time for you". Only if someone beats Devon Levan could have a match against them.
@@lysander7673 That’s true but while he’s still at the level he’s at now and still under 50 years old, I think he should stay at supers and then once that’s all done then drop down and spend time in the lower classes
Devon will remain as the untouchable number 2 and levan will remain as the untouchable number 1 strange dichotomy but true, both undefeatable in their rankings will almost haveto face each other again with the same result
A recent thought I have: People wanted to see Ongarbaev vs Devon at 105kg bad, but atm it doesn’t make sense bc Ongarbaev is only 3rd in 105. I thought the rematch between Ongarbaev and Todd H seemed rushed, but I think Engin wants that bc he is really hoping that Ongarbaev can win this time. I remember Engin saying something about Dadikyan moving to 115kg - I think he wanted Dadikyan to move up. IF Dadikyan moves up, and IF Ongarbaev beats Todd, then Devon vs Ongarbaev can make sense again! I think Engin really wants this.
Imo, Devon knew he wasn't going to win. And the fact he came in under 270 lb is absurd, yo take on a near 400 lb monster who already trashed him once. I think it was a money match for Devon and nothing more. To be nowhere near 300 lb for a match with levan is just plain goofy. I know when I'm 205 lb and in my best form and when I'm around 230 lb and in my best form, there is a huge strength difference in all gym lifts. There is also a reason why there are weight divisions in weight lifting,, boxing, mma and arm wrestling. The first round was just about as phony as it gets. Levan didn't even hit! Just allowed it to go on a few seconds since there would be zero drama with 4 glad pins. Lol
We keep saying Devon wasn’t big enough, strong enough, which is true of course, because Levan is an absolute beast. I do think it may be time to consider reorganizing this open weight category..? Athletes seem to be even bigger now and there are 100+ lbs between competitors. Curious how a match between Devon and Levan would play out if, instead of Devon needing to gain weight to be competitive, Levan needed to come down a ways for the match. The current gap in size and strength is just a bit too big for other factors to play any role.
Devon is a full time arm wrestler now and 6'5, and not against juicing. There is no good excuse for him not to come in at a fairly solid 300 lb for a match against this huge monster that already smashed him once.
@@vdelprado9251 Devon is very strong on a pound for pound basis. I don't believe he would need to match levan extreme weight to give him a good match. 300 lb should have been the goal. 265 is laughable. This was his last huge opportunity to seal his legacy as the best ever. Now careerwise he will be just another also ran behind Brzenk and Levan. You insinuate he didn't go all out to do everything he probably could of to win.. I agree. That's why he didn't deserve to win and didnt.
Like i said 3 years ago. The super need just a limit weight. Limit at 160kg and all will be happy. There is only 3 super above 160kg : levan, Corey and Georgi.
Devon has the bigger frame naturally, he didnt even properly bulk, he thought all he needed was more pronation. He weighed less this time even(263lbs). Let him properly bulk to 300lbs and then we will get the match we all want to see. Lets see Devon on some PEDs that Levan takes. B4 this match even happened as soon as I heard he was 263 I asked how will Devon keep him off his much weaker bicep when he didnt even build it up?!?
Good video! But nobody stands any chance against him in the lower weight classes... literally nobody! (Unless Devon comes in a bad shape). In super heavyweight too, he is currently favourite against everyone but would be fun to see him go against all these armwrestlers like Vitaly, Alex and Jerry. Genadi rematch too.
Yes go down one weight class and get it Devon... There are a couple good Eastern but I think even at his age he would be champ. And even at 105 the kazastan guy showed some great strength and understanding like Devon but I think Devon even at his age his top of everything except super heavyweight
Pradeep Here are my takeaways that I strongly believe! Please make a video being objective if you think it is worth discussing 1-I think Devon is definitely the 2nd strongest arm wrestler in the planet. He actually took levan's hand in round1 and if he didn't mess about he would've had better chances, but he allowed Levan to flop press him which took all his energy 2-Devon needs to completely abandon the kings move. it does work against lightweights but not against superheavy weights who can bench press serious weight. it's counter productive for him 3-Devon needs to stop messing about at this elite level. Just get the job done then showcase later. 4-Levan had the defeat look in his face in round 1. I don't care what anyone says he didn't "try to feel Devon" he actually thought he was in very serious trouble. Only reason he flashpined him the later rounds is because Devon got tired that is just a fact. 5-Devon still has at least 3 years at the very high level in EvW against super heavy weights. Now we all know how this works, Devon next opponent needs to be a sure victory for him so they probably give him a Dadikyan or something, but he has to be back in super to defend his status as number 2 in the world. I hope he never stops training. It would make my day if you reply. I don't agree with all your takes but I really enjoy your content and you make many valid points!
I actually want to see the rematch with Genadi Kvikvinia more than I wanted to see the rematch with Levan. Levan is a genetic freak, we all knew it was an extremely slim chance for Devon to even win a single round, Genadi however is a much more even match, not to mention they're two of the most entertaining arm wrestlers to watch of all time.
@@Locals-only- he is injecting all kinds of unholy substances including other human material lol, he is on most of all armwrestlers. And still couldn't levan, He's disgusting
Lelatin may be a tough opponent for Devon. He is the only elite puller with height advantage over Devon, and his hand size and grip strength can also mess with Devon's setup and pronation.
It has become perfectly clear: If you want to defeat the georgians....You MUST train exactly 100% like them. Any other method has been proven to never work.
It looks like that press in round 1 completely gassed out Devon. Devon himself claimed his training are focusing more on strength from a while. Before he used to train many reps for higher volume. This increased his endurance. Now things are different, with new training method he increased his peak strength but most likely reduced his endurance. However also aging plays a role…
now comes the age card.................. He said he will win 4-0 or 6-0 or similar. He didnt say "Look i am old, i will try my best, i have a very low chance of winning, but pls support me".
His peak strength needed increase... it's just that his possible max peak strength at 265 lbs is just far too low. He had zero chance going in and imo he just accepted a big money match he had no belief he could win.
I truly think Devon vs Levan was just a show and everyone made money. Devon never had a chance , even in the first round it was just a BS . The entire match went down exactly like last time, where is the strength gain? I saw nothing , even though i was praying for Devon to win, I just think it was a Big Show and they all made good $$$
He became super heavy champ from same guy who had it in wal..m.m.t..so technically imo he did get superheavy wal title.just after they went on break..theyll be back
In fact he was, he was 125 kg, vs Levan 2022 he was 131 kg, vs Micheal Todd 132 kg, In Levan match only 120 kg, I think he was very stupid going to face a 180 kg guy with 63 cm bicep and a forearm way bigger than your bicep at this weight, he tought only wrist and hand matter but he's wrong because Levan easly flopwrist him in round One like nothing, I think Devon vs Micheal Todd at 132 kg was stronger in arm than this actual version for sure
@@erosruma4797 great comparison of the facts. I think something is up with his health to be honest. His gut has been really distended for a while now and he had pneumonia a few months back. My feeling is that he hit the juice way too hard and is paying the price.
@@lombardy3274 maybe, personally I think he Is in very very stressfull condition travelling every month in turkey and South Arab, he got too many matches on very High level last year, because if you notice Just by his looking hairs,skin,eyes from prudnik match getting worse, or maybe it's an overdose of juice causing a bloated gut from growt of internal organs like bodybuilders too, anyway I dont consider this recent version the best ones, to me the best are 2022 with micheal and against Genady or Ermes
I feel like if devon was 10-15 yrs younger he would be willing to 💉 up enough to beat Levan but the size he came in at I don't think he ever expected to win really...
Levan could be the strongest P4P considering his body is made of 30% fat. Performing routine cardio will gain him much better stamina and removing the fat out of his body. He is the beast of P4P arm wrestler.
@@mrga5098idk, but recently last 2 years I noticed only georgian and Russian haters of Devon. They hating him just cuz they hating him, no reason, pure arrogance and anger. I'm living in Russia and every God damn Russian always trying to insult Devon somehow, there are more haters then simps of him, which is not okay
You can be your best at older ages in arm wrestling. Devon himself admits he's better and stronger now than ever by far. I think it's pretty clear. Still an amazing accomplishment though. There are a lot of arm wrestlers in their 50s and even much older. Devon hasn't even hit 50.
Yes i want to see alizan vs devon just to see if he can do anything to that wrist. But alizan has horsepower to run through devon. Just that wrist part excites me
I see it this way. In the Super heavy weight division we still have Ermes rematch. Genadi of course. And we all want to see the Devon Vitali match. I see literally no point in facing David Dadikyan, because he lost to Denis and Devon destroyed him. Devon can easily fluctuate his water weight and be 120 kg on match day at 115 kg class and crush them all with superior strength. The only competitive, entertaining and challenging class is within the super heavyweights in my opinion. Hes still number 2. And others want a piece of him/or a rematch. 💪
I dont think Devon will fight in super heavy weight ever again. There is no goal or peak to rise up to if he cant beat Levan. So simply there is no point for him to fight any of those other super heavy weight guys.
@@BijuGoswami-cb1uw No one is hating, its just balance of the universe (like devon would sa). he trash talks so much, hypes so much, speculates so much, you HAVE TO critique and dont like that in the attempt to hold the community SANE. the problem is that devon fans instantly believe everything Devon says, so the "Equalizer" (people critiquing devon) wont accomplish their goals, it goes then more extreme and extreme because devon and his fans gets aggitated by the critique, even though the talk is based on NOTHING, then he goes extreme, critique happens, he goes even more extreme etc. THEN if he loses, they will face reality. its like tulp mania or other mania. the hype WILL STOP if it becomes apparanent that there is nothing of substance.
I feel like he shouldn’t even bother with the lower weight classes. Ik he needs to defend his title but lol everyone down there was too easy. All the names listed here that he didn’t face would be super interesting imo
Completely true. Except this time, Devon actually gave a good fight round 1. Unfortunately he didn’t have an oxygen tank and was even more gassed than Levan was with Ermes 😅
@@Andrew_EvsW yeah no, that's what I thought before he went against levan , genadi and kamil😂. Those 3 wins were flukes, georgi is overrated, denis was washed, and ermes was way too nervous to do anything and devon cheated A LOT against him.
Maybe the weight classes should be simplified to just 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 and open. I'm quite sure there's a lot of super heavyweights who could easily pull @ 120kg if they would get in shape :)
I'd like to see them segment the heavier weights, too. Maybe have 8 classes, using 10kg increments below 100kg, and 15kg increments above 100kg, like this: 70, 80, 90, 100, 115, 130, 145, 160+
Levan is not "genetically superior". He's simply pushed his physical limits with steroids to a level that no one else has done. If Levan has to quit for health reasons Devon might be able to take the throne again. It is a very real possibility for Levan. You don't go that hard for this long without serious risks. Levan at 50lbs lighter is still an absolute animal on the table and likely unbeatable. I don't know why he's staying so large...
Saw some people saying that he’s running from the rest of the SHWs but that’s not really what’s happening here. He just acknowledged that Levan is too OP for him, and that pulling in lower weight categories would be more natural for him, but also doesn’t mean he’s retired from SHW matches. I’m betting he’ll destroy everyone right handed again in that division, then take on SHWs again once he becomes bored
Why hasn’t Devon added mass to his frame over the years? He could easily add 40 pounds to his frame and be lean. I know he has the endurance but the mass could have helped. 🤷🏻♂️
Levan is “genetically superior”?😂 Maybe his hyper-response to PEDs is better than Devon’s but that’s it. He was a run of the mill WAF puller for years before he abused copious amounts of sarms and GH.
Both of Devon's legs came off the ground when he went into the queens move rd.1 trying to hold Levan lol. Go back and watch. His whole weight levered against that long arm and nothing lol
@@shawnoconnor8075 Well he does do normal workouts as well with heavy weights. I find it funny that most people think he doesn't do that. He wouldn't have a chance in hell if he didn't lift any weights. That said, the arm wrestling lifts are what matter in arm wrestling, not the powerlifting lifts all that much. Devons in shape. There are tons of people in their 50's and even older that go extremely heavy all the time. That's really insulting to Devon to act like he can't do that at 49 when being one of the top arm wrestlers in the world, of course he can, and he does lift, but I don't think he focuses on the big 3.
Well Devon does lift weights obviously. How many times does he need to say that he doesn't release it to the public. Does he focus on the big 3, probably not. Powerlifting isn't going to help in arm wrestling a whole lot. The arm wrestling specific lifts matter a lot more honestly. He does need to be bigger to compete vs Levan for sure. Of course he can gain weight. You can gain weight at any age. The guy isn't even 50 and people are making all kinds of excuses now that he lost.
@@billj4525 he said himself that he’s having trouble putting on weight and lifting as frequently and heavy. He’s still very strong and will continue to be but he isn’t going to be putting on a ton of muscle anytime soon
some people put on more muscle when they take steroids, based on their frame and bone size...that's all this is, bone size, frame size, this will always win...like Kurdecha and Levan...it's genetics and roids, this isn't rocket science
Levan is just too big for Devon. Devon dominates the 105& 115 class and that’s where he should focus. If I’m Devon I wouldn’t mess with left hand unless he wants to go 100% left hand and that’s not happening.
If Devon wants to actually be thought of as #2 super heavyweight, then he has to pull the rest of the top 10. Same goes for Dennis, he should be at the bottom of that list, not in the middle without defeating anybody.
It won't and it shouldn't. Not interested in another overhyped lopsided match where Devon has no chance and once again insists on coming in 40 pounds lighter than he should be and screeching for months about this time dominating
@@beaur252 Since obsession is his superpower, he seems like a potential candidate to do the things necessary (perhaps including 2/day HBOT sessions and stem cell therapy for his heart and other organs) to enable him to take the degree of gear necessary to become a 320+ pound monster while having the biomarkers of a 30 year old. Honestly would not surprise me at all.
@@greenfinmusic5142 he had 2 opportunities to do it, and it was never more important or necessary in his career to do so than 2 levan matches. If he didn't do it, he won't do it now and his time has about tin out anyway. He no doubt has accepted he will never be #1 superheavy going forward now. Probably just enjoy himself with drop in weight class
yeah pronation over bicep is very dumb choice specially with levan i hope everybody take notice and train there press just like genadi and kamil so this pronation hype would all go down together.
@@ConnoisseurOfExistence bro I'm not saying that devon needs to train his bicep for levan, what I'm saying is that he needs to train his bicep like his pronation and rising to get more stronger. Forearm is useless without the bicep both needs each other to be stronger
I mean Levan is a unit man, nothing wrong with that! He can’t be beat right now. But how can some just throw Devon and his stats to the wind? I know everyone doesn’t do that but to the few that do, mind your manners lol
Never liked the refs pushing the hands against devon and for levan in the setup and then levan shoulder over the center that would have been a better match and closer if the refs got their bias out of the way.
At this point I see only Morozov, , Ermes, and Kurdecha possibly beating Levan in the future … other strong young athletes include Rino Masic, he is less than 20 years old and at same level of elite pullers like Jablonsky, Lamparelli, Sedis… who knows maybe in 2 years he will be the no. 1
