Idk if this "version" was really better than the ones we saw against M.Todd, Levan & Prudnik though. Well, "better" definitely not since he has even more knowledge & experience now, but was he stronger? I'm finding it a bit hard to tell, but I don't think so. I do think he should've kept training the basics though, and probably should even now if he wants to keep competing. Bicep, cup, and definitely side pressure would help him probably more than he thinks.
@@lotaryguy12 he kept training bicep, cup, and side pressure all the time before and after 2008 until he got to the point where his elbows couldn't take it which lead him getting surgery, which completely made him lose his insane elbow and bicep lock strength, which is why he doesn't train that much side pressure and hook fundamentals now
@@lotaryguy12 2010-11 was his absolute peak. And I'll take that Devon over this new Devon. Definitely at 35 years old, young healthy and as his peak strength and rank #1 was his prime. After surgery he was never the same. He reinvented himself with outside style and got another prime. But still I think young Devon would beat actual Devon.
I love this ref's style of starting the match. He always talks quietly with no anticipation in his voice then suddenly says 'GO!' It seems really effective at preventing issues with guys hitting too early since they're both caught of guard by the start instead of the typical starts which are preceded by "reaaadddyyyy..."
that drives me nuts. it makes it more about twich/fast reactions, and less about what it's supposed to be about.. strength and style. some people literally cant react that quick, and it's skillset has nothing to do with arm wrestling in and of itself.
And back then he could hit fast with both arms too. Love his catch and bleed style but in the long run it's too hard to sustain, he burned out and needed surgeries. Now he's a different puller, he had to adapt, can't train like he used too either, lost his tight angles.
if only my man Devon could ve in this shape again...surgeries and aging are some gnarly enemies...don't be surprised tho... ole Larratt still got sumn up his sleave
@@rilynjohnson3297 yeah he definitely is but sadly he'll never be his prime again ,which whenever my favorite athletes age out i always wish i could see prime them vs the new crop
check out Alex Kurdecha too he was a pudgy big guy with street fighter 4 Rufus hair @ last year Zloty tur, last months Maldova cup he looked like a fcking Neanderthal. hope he didn't read this comments thou 😭🤕
Cyplenkov and Hale are only getting stronger too, I would love to see more of all 3 guys.And by the way Cyplenkov in Bulgarian means something like this: "The Breaker" I think it's funny and I love it.
LEVERS ARE NOT AN ADVANTAGE. Longer limbs require more torque to move, so it more difficult for taller people. Meaning Larratt is even better than what we see.
In principle this is true but doesn’t take into account the biomechanics of the hand and wrist; if there were no hand and wrist and just arms this would be true
Larrett is a cheater. You could see that in the first attempt (at 1:20). When he sees or feels he's going to loose he let his hand go free and puls back. At 4:35 he does it again. A arrogant cheater he is.

Probably the best way to do it
Agreed. All refs should learn a thing or two from him
Yhsu
just needs to learn to enforce shoulder positioning.
that drives me nuts. it makes it more about twich/fast reactions, and less about what it's supposed to be about.. strength and style. some people literally cant react that quick, and it's skillset has nothing to do with arm wrestling in and of itself.
This must’ve been the pre HG Barboza because dude is twice as juiced now and has heads popping out of those inflated shoulders and traps
What's this loop track audience why?!
I can't help but think that background noise is fake. Who's gonna whistle that whole time
pabloXL who cares
In other words, it was about as real as 9/11.

When Devon engaged his shoulder during this era, nobody could stop him.
And back then he could hit fast with both arms too. Love his catch and bleed style but in the long run it's too hard to sustain, he burned out and needed surgeries.

It was so cool

The original Barboza before he consumed enough HG to grow a second head.
Hahaha I was going to comment that this must be before he gorged himself on PEDs.

Scariest version of larratt
Good commentary. Devon a beast
It sounds like a video game..it's kind of soothing and feels other worldly
In his last match vs cyplenkov...larret was like barboza..
where s cyplenkov now??
He had surgery and he went on his left arm too lmao
cyplenkov who ? ha yeah the steroids man
Ya with his left and ill prepared
Devon Larratt is the best arm wrestler on the planet that is only getting better!
Cyplenkov and Hale are only getting stronger too, I would love to see more of all 3 guys.And by the way Cyplenkov in Bulgarian means something like this: "The Breaker" I think it's funny and I love it.
He loses easy for Don Underwood
actually they tied 3-3 in the end because underwood kept taking his elbow off the table to drive at the start of every round.

2008 Devon was the best version

How do these guys not break their fingers every time they slip like that.
Devon leyend
legal de um Brasileiro competir com o no limits,parabéns Marcio Barboza,representou
Davi Gramostini faz tempo essa luta....hj em dia devon ainda ganha, mas o marcio da muito mais trabalho pra ele

Yeah but long arms have advantages, that I don't have time to talk about, but in short most of the time the long arm has the advantage
RB26 GTR yeah and the person you’re pulling against has a bigger lever to pull on. So it cancels out.
Part of the advantage is you get higher on your opponents hand presumably and your elbow can stay closer to your body so you’re less stretched out
In principle this is true but doesn’t take into account the biomechanics of the hand and wrist; if there were no hand and wrist and just arms this would be true
Prime Devon was monster
Good video but annoying audience loop track. Why bother with a laugh track?
Davon is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest
Devon's hand is so much bigger
10 years ago???come on people start making new pulls.
"most successful (BRAZILIAN) armwrestler in history"
I dont understand why they waste their time by not putting the strap on right away.
what year was this?
Dalton Johnson 2008
So does Devon still compete?
Hell yeah he still competes. Larratt and Barboza will both be pulling in Maryland this week may 17th i believe. Check it out
Dalton Johnson check his CZcams channel out. He's still going, getting better with age.
canongong cough Dennis cough beat cough larrat cough
devon L. the defensive puller.
Keyboard warrior🤡
I did see Devon fouls Twice
That fake crowd noise is annoying.
Devon's pretty cocky for someone who will disallow for a fair grip nearly every match.
He's a joke.. can't win 70 percent of matches without strap

There is no cheating when you put on the strap
Number 1 cheater in the world.he always let's go when he knows his opponent gets the better start
