Auden Larratt vs James English - East vs West Challenger Series

[@james.english]

Hey guys I just want to point out Auden did everything correct in the match. The reffing could’ve been tighter but please don’t blame Auden for that. Everyone gets away what they can get away with - why wouldn’t you? ALWAYS aim to get any advantage you can in the setup. I agree that shouldn’t happen in refs grip - but that’s on the refs, NOT Auden. As for people saying I was being “too nice”, I was calling everything out to the refs but they weren’t doing anything about it. Beyond that there’s not much I can do, these matches were all in refs grip.

Were not blaming auden for the set up, thats the referees job i agree and the refs did a terrible job. We just dont like audens antics like pulling your arm after the match is over or loading before the go. Also his trash talking is just uncalled for.

[@james.english]

@@Charisma432 I get it bro, but he pulled my arm after I rage screamed in his face so it was warranted 🤣 and the trash talk sells ppv’s and builds hype.

that first round was the most obvious false start in the world. The Larratt strategy of just tiring out everyone on the table including the refs needs to stop being entertained. Screaming at the ref and disobeying calls should be an instant foul even if it means fouling out the entire match. People will learn eventually and the sooner the better cus these 30 minute matches with nothing but setups are incredibly boring. More importantly, there needs to be clear and well defined order of precedence on the various "rights" you have at the start because sometimes they are not all possible. Yes you're allowed center, yes you're allowed to put your elbow forward, but the other guy is also allowed even webbing. If you can't have all 3 at once which one takes precedence? (I'd say the webbing is pretty fucking important and not worth sacrificing just cus the other guy wants his elbow forward, the proof is that his elbow is going forward exclusively to get said webbing advantage)

I know some people will say that trying to get an advantage in the grip an essential part of the sport, but I'd personally prefer to see the fairest grips and fairest starts possible so that both althletes are on a level playing field when the ref says go.

@@Dmgolfer22 OF the grips I also Like the WAL grip the best but it is in no way a fair grip. It also only works if you have refs that can control the pullers. The issue is European pullers have years in the sport and have never setup that way it puts them at a serious disadvantage. That is one of the main reasons EVW does not use it.

[@Nox-eo3jv]

When people talk about fairness in arm wrestling, they're not just discussing technical details like hand position or finger coverage. They're worried about things like false starts and blatant advantages, similar to allowing a football player to take a free kick from too closer to the goal than it was set and then valid it to be okay. Devon is seen as the face of arm wrestling, and at the highest level, there's a feeling that he and others get away with bending the rules. This undermines the sport's integrity. As Devon himself emphasizes, the setup is crucial in arm wrestling. Letting any athlete, regardless of their fame, cheat during the setup or in any other way ruins fair competition. It changes the sport from a test of skill and ability into a mere spectacle of who can cheat more.

I'm not going to be a hater, but the setup was super favorable for Auden. I don't understand how armwrestlers like travis, devon, auden, etc. still get away with it in the middle of 2024. LOL

[@Average1212]

Because they have a super long arm, You can add airakli, and vitally to your list as well. In the current ruleset where you can't force the pullers elbow back on the pad the longer armed puller always has an advantage. A set grip like in WAF is even worse as both pullers are forced to the back of the pad in a set grip and the shorter armed puller is royally &*#&ed

[@segaGenesis24]

They get away with it because they are stronger. Auden looks skinny but his hand is deceptively strong. If you get taken advantage of in the strap chances are you're probably weaker.
