@@JP-jb5di Devons head grew by how much? 2 inches!. What does that in a 50 year old? I wonder. What do you think "pancakes " are? Doping. And fluffy breakfast dough flats served with good ol fashioned pure Canadian maple syrup. I'm suddenly hungry.
@ WH Injuries happen, especially at his age. Of course it would be super easy to best an injured man. All the top armwrestlers would beat an injured Devon. How would you go with a torn bicep and possibly a tendon injury?
@@annee_lin Devon was seriously injured in round 2 and it would of been much more difficult for Levan I think if he wasnt.. The only reason Devon kept going and people dont realize this was because Devon wanted levan to keep his 6-0 streak. true sportsman respect
@@ramonortiz3095 Devan is on the juice? He needs the juice that Wheels is taking 😆 🤣. Devan needs to rework his whole body to stand a chance against these giants
Levan actually (somewhat) made good on the promise that he'd break Devon's arm if he tried to king's move. Imagine what'd happen if Michael Todd were to pull Levan...lol
@@bwink23 He's just bluffing for more RU-vid hits. If he had the huevos to pull Levan, he would've done it in Dubai when they were filming with Larry. But who knows? Might be a good thing if he did because Levan would probably help him straighten out that permanently bent elbow of his for free. ;)
Many people are acting like Devon is the only one who can adjust at the table, he is not, many armwrestlers can. Levan adjusted as well for the second round, went inside with full side pressure which Devon had no answer for and strained his muscle. I was even curious that did Levan do the first round purposely a little bit outside to give Devon confidence to get more in just so there is a higher chance of ripping Devons arm?
very surprised nobody could see the adjustment he made in his setup approach in the second round, he isn't just violent power the man has the technique to back it up, he understands the mechanics of his hand wrist
Tf are you talking about Lmaoo. Levan pulled outside the 2nd round as well, difference is that Devon’s bicep tore as he was trying to get into his kings move. Tons of power
I like how people act as if majority of top level athletes are not on copius amounts of steroids (HGH included). Apparently it's only Levan that does it🙄
Steroids allow you to surpass your genetic barriers to gain more strength and mass. Look at how Levan looked like few years ago, and look at him now. That is impossible to achieve naturally, he tripled in size. I'm not saying Devon doesn't take anything, he probably does, but not the same amount as Levan that's for sure. The problem doesn't rely on losing/wining games, but Levan's career is probably going to be very short in the likes of Denis Cyplenkov because of health issues.
@@shimizu67 cause you know :)) levan always looked bigger than his opponent , the only difference was that he was much more lean in the past ... right know he has a lot of fat beside his muscles ... yet devon putting lean 1-2 inches more in 6-7 months seems ok to some braindeads ... after he trained his hole life and never was able to put more size ...
That was the first time I seen Levan purposely just drive right threw a person - he normally will catch you in the center and then over power you, but this time he from the start just blasted through Devon's arm......he was definitely making a point to him.......people one thing to learn is never never anger a 400 pound arm wrestler who works out with arm wrestling moves heavier than a heavy weight and that can pull themselves up a rope with out his legs - like a gymnast..........this guy is scary enough - can get even bigger and stronger......that's a very scary thought...and to put topping on the cake - he's also a good technical arm wrestler as well.....
U just gotta be at least 6'1 and eat 10 k calories a day and hop on tren and Hgh year round, horse testosterone pre match, voila, world champion, forget genetics, levan couldnt even move devons arm when he was 300 lbs aswell
I kinda wanted Devon to win, but after everything he put Levan through for 2 months it was a sweet feeling seeing his revenge. He told Devon he would break his arm with that King's move and he did.
Yeah, Devon was pretty obnoxious to Levan. Name calling and such. Very disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. Made it pretty funny to watch him lose so bad.
@@themadtitan728 promoting and than losing this bad ? doesnt look to good ... pretty much all people that buyed tickets ... were let down ... just cause of the hype and promises that were wrong from the start and were there just to sell and make more money for themselfs ...
Levan won easily as this was just another hype train. Devon clearly learned nothing from getting his ass handed to him from Cyplenkov so no idea what he was thinking here at all.
Devan would have to weight train for like 3 yrs just to try to match his strength but there is no way you'll bleed him without getting hurt big-time! That is the wrong strategy to use against Levan! Those ligaments will break!!
@@annee_lin I think Dennis did an interviewer in which he said he just kind of held Devon for a while not trying to pin him just because he felt bad that Devon was so weak and wanted to give a show.
Age has absolutely nothing to do with this. I love Devon, and I love him even more after seeing the video he put out post match about how great Levan was. However, regardless of age, Devon was never beating Levan at any age. You can put a 24 year old Devon against Levan right now and he still loses. So in this specific instance, age doesn't play a factor at all. In my opinion.
Said that in several vids but people seriously acted like Levan didn't have the time under his belt. The man does this for a living. Similar skill, power always wins. What really annoys me is that Devon said after rnd 1 he had him then he was "injured" and people legit are using that as the reason he got table raped.
I don't really agree. Levan trains also very specific for armwrestling, some of his lift look a little bit like typical gym lifts. Check out his long interview he did with the Russian weight lifter. Is super cool. There he explains very accuratly why he does lift how he lifts!!! Devon on the other hand.... I don't know, but in my opinion he made some mistakes. Why would you do so many reps? I know it works for some atheletes. But high rep ranges don't really increases strength, which Todd Hutchings points out correctly in my opinion. His match strategy should had been to wear out Levan with the kingsmove, because in my opinion he was not sooo far away from that in the fist round. I don't know really though what he tried in the second round? Ps. I understood your statement like that Levan focused on very basic strenght training for armwrestling? Well which is not false... But check out his interview with the Russian weight lifter you will be surprised how knowledable and smart Levan is!!
By the way do you know if Levan trains sidepressure. A friend of mine pointed out the he doesn't. In his interview I actually have not seen any typical sidepressure moves...
Ah yeah, I meant that he was doing the basic strength training as well as 'proper' training, whereas Devon was trying to be more focused and specific, although really he was doing 'some' strength training too. I should have explained that part better. Which Russian weightlifter? I know he spoke to Oleksiy Torokhtiy, but he's Ukrainian 😅
@@johneli3341 Yes your right. I think Devon is not used to this much sidepressure and to lose his hand that bad. This way he can hardly get into a good kingsmove position. Even though first round didn't look too bad in my opinion...
just discovered your channel, wtf bro you should have alot more subscribers! hope your channel grows. What i enjoy is rationality and logic deconstructing hypothesis for outcomes or possibilities. Great work. For example how did Levan win? its a combination of elements but strength being the main theme and defining what true weight gains translates to be that muscle mass or what you lift. What you said was perfect.
At the end of the day, I think what you saw here is simply a direct reflection on the genetic advantage some people have in a given sport. Devon clearly has a natural ectomorphic, perhaps even ecto-mesomorphic physique. If you look at his bone structure and limb length combined with the insane endurance factor, you can tell he's naturally built to be lean and mean and flourish in endurance-based athletics / competition. I think if he decides to come back down to the 225 weight class, he's going to cause havoc for everyone in that class. If you contrast that with someone like Levan, you look at the enormous bone structure and his natural endomorphic traits - the guy is clearly built for explosive power and strength sports. Even with the assistance of PEDs and consistent weight training, Devon is going to be capped on maximum strength and power due to his genetics. His bone structure is not going to allow him to get up to 325lbs, let alone 400lbs (short of becoming an obese fat blob as opposed to strong and athletic). There is literally no amount of training he could ever do to compete with Levan for strength and power. And I want to be super clear where I stand on this - Devon is insanely strong. It's just when you put him up against someone like Levan, it's a whole other world. It would be like asking Levan to train for a marathon - ain't gonna happen.
Genetics plays a role too with how you can handle PEDs. Levan's frame allows for more. Not saying Devon wasnt using at all, but he was definitely dosing higher than usual for this match because, look at how LEAN Devon got when he put on weight! And then his bicep tore during the match with Levan. Implies he was getting too strong for his muscles to handle, indicative of PED use. Muscle tears are common when you progressed really fast on PEDs!
Levan wasn't a big guy or big frame guy he was a slim 80kg at 19 theres pictures and his early armwrestling vids can see, hes gone onto over doubling his weight near 400lbs, all guys use peds but Levan has gone crazy amounts peds and growth hormone to levels that death likely, hes changed his muscular,organs and skeletal frame through clear huge doses of growth hormone to gain advantage,tell me other armwrestlers who have more than doubled their weight from a young man. Levan wasn't beating top guys before he started outweighing them fact, pre 2018 under 125kg weight. Hes a giant amongst men now he should win, the fight with Devon was same weight difference as a ufc heavyweight fighting a welterweight. He was 6-0 dominating armwrestling in 2020 but still he chooses take peds & get bigger & bigger and mismatch his opponents more hes turned game into who can take the most peds & GH and risk death. Look up Jon Pall Sigmarsson,Brian Jenkins,Johny Perry, Boston Lloyd,Cedric Mcmillan. Yet people applaud Levan and say hes a role model and humble. If hes that good he should come closer to his opponents weight. He can be called the strongest but never the best.
@@Redsok he’s still a big framed guy. Everybody is that size at that age unless they’re fat or intentionally bulking like some kids do for certain sports
@@HkFinn83 HK I've seen the photos & videos of Levan through the years. Im a lifter & personal trainer for 20years with exerience around many bodybuilders/strength athletes, 80kg at 6ft3 is not a big guy. Just checkout the photo of him on Google flexing in mirror, even there hes clearly not a thick set guy. Hes grown as growth hormone will his entire muscle,skeletal & organs but hes done it to crazy level equaling crazy amounts. From 80kg to 180kg name me other athletes that did that hes used crazy dangerous amounts of peds & GH its just fact and hes lucky to be alive & has no doubt taken years off his life. If he cool with that in a sport with no testing thats on him. But he aint a role model he aint humble as I keep reading if he purposely gave himself that size advantage over his opponents. He weren't winning against legit guys till he got a size advantage thats facts to see in his record.
Levans Diary Entry - Date : 06.27.2022 The fight is over now ... What can I say? ... I showed it to loudmouth Devon ... It ended up being exactly what I ALWAYS said ... Devon talks and talks and talks ... All he can do is TALK and it always got on my nerves ... Already at the press conference i couldn't hear his stupid sayings anymore and it bored me to death ... I looked at my cell phone instead to distract myself. Devon had absolutely no chance and from now on he should come to me in georgia to LEARN FROM ME! ... Devon should have listened to me better, because I really almost broke his arm ... but instead he just talked nonsense and declared himself a god ... ridiculous ... I could have treated him very differently ... If he thinks I've used 100% of my power, then he really is an even bigger clown than I thought possible. I really only had to use 10% of my strength for Devon and I could have done without the hard training. That was just the beginning and in the future I will also conquer the entire rest of the world and even heaven itself if I have to! Absolutely NOBODY is up to my strength and nobody is stopping me ! .............
Yeah, "Power is everything." or at least the most important aspect by far. Experience and all those special/fancy techniques only matter when you equal your opponent in strength or you're pulling a rookie who either doesn't know anything about armwrestling and/or isn't trained for it. But you could very well see it with Devon who primarily pointed out his experience and technique advantage. He wasn't able to stop Levan. Not even once. And when he tried to stop him, he even injured himself. Devon simply wasn't ready for Levan to the point that his armwrestling experienced ligaments and muscles were just too weak to compete against him. In hindsight it's always easier to say it, but he should've trained for way more power. It's not about being fat. What people forget is that muscles weigh more than fat. If you put on some fat alongside your muscle gain, that's gonna be a bit beneficial. You see strongmen? They are not shredded. But of course, they and you as an armwrestler should always focus on the muscular gain first and foremost. Because that is what counts. And with that you don't need those mentioned special/fancy techniques. You need basic knowledge like "What is a toproll and how do I need to train for it to make the move on my opponent?" for example. But that's all you need on the knowledge side. The rest is: Go for power. Wrist strength and pinning strength being the most important. Endurance and in depth knowledge will come with time eventually then. But these are secondary since your opponent needs to match your strength first. And the match between Devon & Levan showed it very clearly. And another thing: It's not only genetics. It's the way you lay out your career. Levan didn't start armwrestling with 180kg. You put on that amount of mainly muscle and some fat over the duration of your career. That's his mindset to it. His principle and his belief of what is the most important thing in armwrestling. And his victories, especially the one over Devon, tell him he is right. Even Devon said it as he gave Levan the legacy hammer: "... the king of strength in armwrestling..." word for word. What Levan should do now is to expand his knowledge, experience and career. Travelling the world and solidify that number 1 position building that legend status until even the last armwrestling fan can only look up to him as a legend. Taking on the best armwrestlers who dare think they have a chance against him. What Devon should do now is to expand to Europe if he wants to keep going. Since there is basically nobody left in NA that he hasn't beaten already and see if he is maybe able to gain over the years to get a rematch with Levan. But yeah, Devon is already quite old and it would therefore take an enormous amount of effort and commitment at this point of his career to even try it. We will see what he is going to do now. If he will just go the way of Brzenk from now on or if he goes for a final push at the very end of his armwrestling career.
You cant beat someo at something who has more genetic potential at that thing than yourself. Its like saying the guy that was second to Usain Bolt in 100m race can beat him if he trained harder or longer.
Devon def. Needs a training partner likr David Chaffee or Genadi ,Laletin, any other big man to get his strength up. If Devon had Laletin's strength coupled with his ungodly endurance then he'd have a shot. Of course he needs ro start eating candy like water as well and I dont think he's willing to endanger himself just to try and beat Levan again. This the best effort Devon will ever put in and I think from this point on he'll just be gunning for 2nd place and nothing more.
@@outlander234 Correct, it is genetics because Usian Bolt has longer Achilles Tendons with short gastrocnemius belly muscle and his height and he trained that way. Levan born with those special genetics although he started off with much lighter bodyweight than current now. I am a Devon Larratt's supporter and subscriber and since last December I wrote to him on his channel that you need to bulk up your whole body with heavy loads of weights and add up some of your training just like Levan. That was Devon mistake because he underestimate Organ and with Seconds lean body will not put down a hundred more pounds who also into the same sport and has not been defeated. Levan has body fat a good percentage of it but I also see more lean muscle behind it and you see that he trained very heavy which Devon didn't do. That's the difference.
Any contest where there is such a huge difference in weight between the contestants is really just for entertainment/curiosity. Technically it means nothing. There's a reason why there are weight categories in strength and combat sports. Agree 100% with what was said in this video.
I think he has potential, but i dont think he will, ever dominate in the super heavy weight category. (not including Levan in there as i honestly dont think he has the genetics to ever get to Levans level)
Yes in armwrestling Levan has become a milestone, an untouchable entity whereas if we consider strongmen events today many are so closely stacked today there is no monopoly unlike Brian Shaw's era
If all the strongmen competitors trained for armwrestling, he would be beaten by someone. Obviously armwrestling is a fringe sport and not worth the dedication of strongmen. Regarding comparasons of Levan vs strongmen competitors - he'd probably be too lazy to switch, and he's too old to start anyway. Strongmen are killing themselves buiding up deadlift and squat strength, not bicep and wrist curls.
@@lvg777 armwrestling in itself is an ultimate strength sport technicalities are there in every strength related sports. But again it's not that strongmen competitors would have been excellent armwrestlers nothing like that.
@@ALC0A021 Armwrestling is not even close to the ultimte strength sport. Did you see Devon making quick work of Hafthor in a casual armwrestling match.. a guy that deadlifted 501kg and is recognised as one of the world's strongest men. Ultimate strength sports test leg and core strength.
@@lvg777 you think only strongmen events are related to ultimate strength? What about martial artists who can break hardest objects? Strength is task specific
@@snakeocelot4153 Denis already called out Levan by saying ' wait for me ' , Levan already responded by calling him out after the match, they are on a collision course, Denis is slowly regaining his strength, he got hit by COVID twice and only started training in march, when he manages to cheat curl 120 kgs with ease, that's the sign that he is ready, if Denis recovers 85 percent of his 2018 form, he could give Levan the best fight, better than Laletin and Devon
@@pihermoso11 No, Denis struggled against Dave who got crushed by Levan, Dennis doesn't have a chance against Levan. Put in mind that Dave himself said that He was the most serious he's ever been getting ready for Levan. Dennis will never be the same as he was after that injury but it wouldn't have made a difference really. Dennis is overhyped because of his victory against Devon but Devon's left wasn't good at all at the time and it's not his dominant hand so.
@@snakeocelot4153 what year was when he strugeled with dave ? just curious cause thats all i hear from some other idiots .. did dave fight the denis that fought davon ? cause i dont remember that .... that denis was much bigger than any version of denis ... but lets forget ...
@@ssppooppcristi6734 Denis Ciplenkov vs Dave Chaffe, type in RU-vid, Dave strech him like guitar string each time of the go and Denis drop himself low to his short tendons and elbow calcification save him from pin.
WTF... the dude is stronger! Why are people trying to analyze this and write a page about this??? Levan smashed Devon over and over again into the mat because he's stronger... wtf. Devon was chasing a lost dream... retire before its to late.
I was just blown away that Devon would even TRY because I heard Levan outweighed him by 100 lbs 😳.. & how many of those pounds are pure muscle? I heard that he hurt Devons arm ? I didn't get to watch the match. Devon is just a beast to even TRY to go after the big guy...
No he did not. That was outside of straps. Put on the straps and Ongarbayev went down with completely no resistance. At least Devon got a small stop in R1 because he tore his bicep.
Devon trash talked so much before the match but during it was quiet like a mouse. He didn’t bring his circus act to the table this time. Funny how an ass whooping can change someone’s life. 😂🤣
@@rubenbraekman4515 Personally I find it distasteful, the shittalk was also on a level of a 10 year old at best, not even a trace of wit about it. Think the match would've been hyped enough even if he was slightly more dignified about it. It's armwrestling not WWE.
@@rubenbraekman4515 Maybe Americans and Canadians, I mean each to their own, but I was more amused by Levan playing on his phone than Devon's childish insults
I don't get why people can't just accept that Levan is the much better arm wrestler. As for Devon, he gave it his all but he simply isn't on Levan's level. It's a shame we will never get to see this Levan vs Prime Denis
Levan was also like 25kg lighter when he pulled Vitaly. Levan has increased his body mass by 250% in less than a decade. He will die from the drugs or have a major medical issue like Denis.
AW is mainly genetic based. people can talk abt hard work all they want but everyone works hard in AW. ur never gonna out work genetics just look at strongman. like he said only big gaps allow the inferior to beat the superior, u can beat someone who is much genetically surperior to u only if they dont train anywhere near to as good as you, similarly u can beat someone much stronger than u with technique only if the technique gap is big. levan knows how to AW, he may not be as technical as devon but there was no 1000IQ move devon couldve pulled off to overcome levan. ppl will disagree now but slowly as the sport grows you will see how true this is. because ultimately AW is a strength sport.
What does Levan's genetics have to do with it? He has increased his body mass by like 2.5x in less than a decade. That's not genetics - that's drug abuse.
@@VincentsVideoVisions u dont know anything abt genetics. Levans muscle insertions r way higher than devons. He was always gonna be stronger. Devons brachialis barely attaches halfway down his forearm. Devons got good flexor insertions. But his bicep insertiosn r also fairly short. Ppl without genetics like levans can take all the drugs they want, theyll never be any levan.
Strenght can be overcome to a degree of MAYBE fifteen percent difference. Levan has numbers that are so much above, its ridicolous to even talk about anything. And yea, Laletin stopped him for few seconds, but, Im quite sure that wouldnt be te case today. Nothing with Laletins losts, its all about Levan. And, just as strenght can be overome in armwrestling when it reaches certain gap, its same with genetics. There is VERY small percentage of ppl that can, IF and WHEN even have a chance against him. Im seeing only one: Kurdecha. Perhaps. In at least three years, at the smallest.
Beyond all of this vid, i've got a very big impressive to your insight of sports not even only armwrestling, i think you can see what is the truth on 'physical things' and 'mental works'. That match was not take my attention, but your vision that penetrate into 'What is the real we need to see' is very awesome and makes me think my workout and goal again. Great bro, many of athlete or performance hard to take my concern, but you did. I've learning from you. Thank you. You are the Real one who can be 'Athlete'. Athlete is not only physical. I've been thinking. Always. 👍
Simply put: Levan has better genetics for strength and good endurance, and Devon has slightly better genetics for endurance but not near the level of genetics for strength that Levan has. Devon can never reach Levan's level... Ever. It is impossible because of genetics. They are both equally devoted and disciplined at being at their very best, but if someone has better genetics for a specific sport, there's just no chance. If Levan and Devon trained their hardest to compete in a triathlon, Levan will never beat Devon... Ever. I knew without a doubt for the last 6 months commenting on RU-vid that Levan was going to destroy Devon AND put Devon's arm in a sling. My prediction came true and... it was so Obvious to me.
equally devoted ? nah Devon himself complained about not training his whole body enough and that he needs some company to support him to do more and do the things he knows he should do. Levan is busy like a worker bee on the other hand doing all the movements and inspiring others to go to the gym instead of looking for some one to drag him along. Totally different approaches to life. Though that hard work ethic is also genetic. Everything a human does relates to genetics cause they're a walking web of genetic ribbons...
I just show the two first rounds in slow mo. In the first round Larratt tried to stay more tight and in the center and Leven took complete his hand starting with back pressure separateing his forearm enough and then with pronation and side pressure.Larratt was in his bicep for this famous "stop" for 1-2 seconds(no hope) In the second round Larratt with the start dove is more open position and Levan lost no time with back pressure understanding that was already open and hit him with his pronation/side pressure.
If Devon didn't get hurt... that match would have been very interesting. But the fact that he did literally injure him is a testament to his stupid amount of strength. Devon doesn't get injured. So I think we're all feeling a bit slighted bc we wanted that war.
It all boiled down to size -- and the strength and power that went with it. Levan is like a Clydesdale horse (heavily built and strong), Devon is like a thoroughbred horse (lightly built but faster -- but less strong). The 100+ pound weight advantage Levan had was insurmountable. If Devon gained 50 pounds and Levan lost 50 pounds, I have no doubt the outcome would have been different. I believe Devon is probably stronger pound for pound than Levan. But it's all academic because of the 100 kg weight class; all other things being equal, the bigger man (at least a 100+ pound bigger man) is going to win, it's just basic physics. IMO, I think the only way Devon could even come close to beating Levan would be to bulk up with heavy resistance training and proper diet, gaining maximum muscle size and least amount of fat. I'd like to see Devon get to at least 325 pounds that way. Would it still be enough to beat Levan, perhaps not, but I don't think a future match wouldn't be a slam dunk (by Levan) like we just witnessed.
Its the Super Heavyweight division, there is no “size advantage” excuse in that division. If you want “fairness” drop in weight category. Devon was chasing glory, and got humbled by reality. Full respect to Devon for making the walk.
@@Whizzinby777 I never said a thing about unfairness due to Levan's superior weight advantage. The match was totally fair due to the weight category both contestants were in. My point was/is, is that if, IMO, Devon ever wants to beat Levan, either Devon will have to put on more weight (muscle mostly) or Levan will have to lose weight (which, IMO, would be stupid to do) -- or both. I don't know any weight/resistance trained person, when all other things are kept equal, got stronger when they lost weight. But invariably one gets stronger with weight gain, in combination with weight/resistance training.
@@nigelwaterhouse8833 I certainly agree with that. All Devon can do is try to make as much muscle weight gain as possible beefing up to 325. Devon said he felt he was at his strongest he's ever been at 287 (I believe he said as much). If so, and being in fine tune with his body, he would know as he put on weight if he was getting stronger. He won't ever know unless he tries. Otherwise, I believe Devon has hit his genetic limit at his current match weight of 287. What Devon's genetic strength limit would be at 325 is anybody's guess, but I believe he would be stronger, plus his opponents would have more body weight (Devon's) to move.
Any one with any sense would have seen this coming.devon is a great armwrestler but you just can't compete a guy who outweight you by over 100lbs and 13year younger at his prime . Devon is his natural weight class is still a world tier athlete.
Verry accurate describe of what happened on KOT 4. Despite of Larrat fanboys who keep repeat - ''roids,roids''. Behind Levan success standing many years hard work and experiance. Many don't realize how good technique Levan got + that power + genetic advantage.
@@michaeltrumph121 who cares about excuse, I Couldn't care less. I think Larrat had a very poor showing last night, very disappointing. He is getting too old for this level of competition. However, coming ro roids, guys like Cyplekov and Levan, they are on a totally different level of roids vs to the likes of Tods and Larrat. Sure the above also use some, but nowhere near the eastern European who don't care at all about consequences.
I think Devon have was hurt right from the start.. There was literally not a single round where there was any resistance from devon.. It was not that levan was that much stronger. Watch every single person levan wrestles and every single person has put up some resistance.. Except for devon.. The guy who was super strong. People like matt mask and others said they couldn’t even move devon’s arm during the last month. And this he is the only one that put up zero resistance in 6 rounds.. Highly unlikely. So I am convinced that Devon Larratt was hurt right from the start.. Either when they were first jockeying for position or in the first round initial push by levan… this is why devon’s whole style change.. there was no kings move. There was nothing.. He had to bring his shoulder in to try to compensate and against levan that was just not an option. So that was unfortunate. I feel bad for devon. But He was a trooper for not making excuses. He finished without complaining. Thats a heart of a competitor. Much respect to both of them.
Everyone in these comments seems to think that Devon actually knew he could win. Devon has been doing this for 20 years. This was all just to build hype for the match. It's like two boxers talking shit, it's all to gather views.
Levan is much heavier And has much more leverage vs a older guy Who has suffered much more injuries. A person at 26 recovers twice as quickly as a person who is 40. For every catastrophic injury your average athlete loses anywhere from 1 to 5 years of career because not only is the injury always going to make that athlete a little bit less, the downtime can never be recovered. With extreme sports, if the body takes any time off, it simply does not think it needs to recover at the rate you did when you were constantly tearing it down and building it back up daily. Everybody’s making this into some big deal, but everyone who gambles or who is honest with themselves knew Levon was a 3 to 1 favorite. For god sakes he’s in his prime verse a guy who should’ve been beaten years ago but has been running off of will and guile. He’s also much larger. Seriously, this video doesn’t even need to exist. Younger, less broken, and much bigger… Does anyone think Devon of now would beat himself at 25 to 28? Not a chance. Now add a much bigger skeleton, much bigger tendons and muscle heads, better steroids and much better PED‘s than even 10 years ago and it’s not even close.
@@MiS_4n_THr0_pic_NiH_il.i5t Uh no, that's not the same thing. Levan has devon beat by a lot in muscle mass and strength, Corey West has wayyy more fat than levan.
