Devon Larratt vs Genadi Kvikvinia The Big Interview!

[@MattRhodesSport]

Hope you enjoy guys. Felt is was better to send questions to be asked rather than lower quality via Zoom, thanks to Hana & the team at Coresports for conducting the interview. Watch the match only at www.coresports.world

[@chimeras9449]

absolutely the correct choice, this is a really good video

[@terminator8767]

"Corey H So let me get this straight. Prudnik (who lost to Devon) crushes Morozov (who is now facing Levan), is ahead of Sandris Sedis (who was smacking around Jerry on the tables), who beat Genadi but lost to Devon, and somehow Devon has a "small chance" to beat Genadi? This is going to be an absolute massacre."

[@streetstatics]

Ur the beat matt

[@mariusgate3030]

Great idea

[@adnanrawashdeh3965]

Face to face interviews are always better. Thanks Matt

16:27 the way ganadi open the bottle of water for devon, is such an overwhelming, you can see the best sportsmanship in both of them, i love this sport alot.

[@davidradevic6354]

Yeaaah

[@killjoy362]

There is mutual respect. Also genadi may look loke wild caveman(not meant mean its actual awesome) but has class

[@grim_bbx2241]

Gonna be a serious battle, im calling it. The longest arm wrestling match in history

That would be quite something!

[@porkypile]

Devon just trying to do his best to annoy Genadi and smiling ear to ear. It's hilarious to watch especially because of how Genadi doesn't really get it via the translation 😆 2 legends.

[@soakedbearrd]

We need a translator for the translator 😂. Fun interview and back and forth from both.

[@gigafordrive]

I’m georgian and I agree, He translates 20% of what he said lol

[@conkaa300]

Yeah a lot if people get it mistaken with the european pullers saying they arent as smart or witty and charismatic when in reality the translators vocab most times just isnt that good to describe what the athletes really wanna get across.

[@superlegs7]

Devon Larratt to me is like what Muhammad Ali was to boxing. Like Ali did for boxing, Devin has done so much for Arm Wrestling and brought so many people into the sport. Devon is hilaruous and he is an entertainer. As we could see in this interview, Devon got into Genadi's head and handled the interview at ease.

[@Ja_ist_gut]

Or Arnold to bodybuilding. The shittalk is the same

[@J-Rob23kk]

I never thought of this comparison, but it’s pretty spot on 👍🏻. I’d say Genadi vs Devon is like Tyson vs Ali for Arm Wrestling. I like Genadi a lot and I have to watch anytime that he’s pulling, but as always I gotta cheer for Devon! 🐐NO LIMITS💪🏻

[@oldironsides4107]

More like evil knevel for the stunt man industry. Ali didn’t bring in tons of fans he wasn’t even beloved the overwhelming majority of his career. Boxing was doing 100k live attendance in massive fields decades before Ali. Or more like a Conor mgregor to the ufc. As Conor had fans that just watched him. I like devon but going off the internet as I don’t know any Armwrestling fans in life. But it seems they’re Devon only fans and don’t know anything about the sport.

[@TooChillery]

EXACTLY

[@leszekwolkowski9856]

Larrott is a natural salesman. I enjoy the banter he brings to the table and in my mind, his personality is what makes him a winner regardless of the official, ultimate result.

[@chrisottenstroer7202]

Instinct is to go for the pin or attack when you think you can win. Devon does the opposite. Genadi can say what he wants… when the match moves to his side however slightly and he loses his hand he will attack out of fear of tiring. This is the trap!

[@AdamLighter1]

true. in reality tho, if you lose your hand somewhere in the centre against an open toproll, you do not have any other option than to attack, otherwise he will eat you alive.

[@majkan8983]

Lovely setting for this interview matt! The vibrant greens in the background really pop

[@MattRhodesSport]

Yeah, nice spot that!

Welcome mate

[@armwrestlingopera2064]

Great interview! It was interesting to see that for the first time , Devon didn't want to feel his opponent's right hand. Genadi offered to him and he said "you don't want to feel that".

[@angelopengue7117]

Good interview . Both guys seemed somewhat candid and honest early on and still had fun joking back and forth👍. It’s gunna be a good one

[@christopherjohn8521]

A great interview Matt. I have to wonder where arm wrestling would be today with out Devon's audacious personality. This is what sells the sport to me more than anything else.

[@djo-dji6018]

It would still be growing as a sport. Remember that the most popular armwrestler in the world is still Schoolboy despite him not being an elite athlete. That shows us there are different sorts of fans.

[@christopherjohn8521]

@@djo-dji6018 Sure, there are a lot of different fans. School Boy will have to change his name soon because he certainly isn't a boy any more. Now he's an Alexander and we will see how far he can go when his injury heals. He should first have a rematch with Khaled.

[@MattRhodesSport]

Yep, he plays a huge role in the growth

[@iZephiroth]

Man, Devon is so confident and it seems like the more the trash talk continues and the closer he gets to the match the stronger he gets. He feeds off of it all. I can’t wait for the match.

[@danecowan3062]

Another great interview, perfect questions planned. Even got heated! 💪

[@MattRhodesSport]

All went to plan :)

[@HarmsArms]

It's weird that Devon didn't take up the offer to feel Genadi's right hand.. All through the WAL Devon wouldn't pass up that opportunity, he is giving off some high confidence.

[@s8theninjawarrior916]

Because he knows the hand will be his last worries, Genadi doesn't have the hand of Ermes or Levan.

[@ibanezrgt220a9]

Devonnnn 💪🏻💪🏻 From Quebec I wish you the best

[@armhistorian]

Yes Matt! These videos are a serious boon to the sport!

[@MattRhodesSport]

Thank you

[@e-ton2145]

Too tier trash talk both ways in this. 😂 Especially Devon’s “you’re King of hearts, but I’m the ace” endurance comment and Genadi’s “I haven’t even been thinking about this match for 3 months” one.

[@GA-1st]

Fun interview! Genadi is such a good sport! I genuinely admire the man. Even if it's semi-joking, Devon's constant barrage of disparaging remarks has to become annoying at some point. Of course, Devon's hoping it will cause Genadi to overreact on the table, and it very well might. It also may motivate Genadi even more to do everything and anything he can to ensure a victory! I cannot wait!

[@MC-jy3tr]

We will see how devons arm and previous injury holds up for the super heavy. Genadi is a beast. Great interview.

[@youtuberbayleexiong908]

I'm so excited can't believe it

[@CircleBrewery]

Aaaand the opposite happened. Devon, who claimed to be in his prime, lost to a SHW who himself has lost 3 out of his 5 last supermatches and is barely Top 10. Devon is now finished as a SHW. He can go to the babyweight division again and he will even need to cheat to win there. Devon lost his soul tonight, and it was Genadi who took it. GEORGIA! OPANAAAA!!!!

[@sandroguramishvili1305]

Genadi has a good trash talk too, sadly some parts get lost in translation but still pretty close, man is this match awesome already

[@thejester8136]

Devon has a lot longer arms over all but still looks thicker from most angles, with far less fluff. If he’s as strong as he truly looks I do believe he’s gonna smash Genadi… two days people !!!

[@Lunarpollo5622]

I think Genadi is gonna give a harder fight than what people think

[@jaredkish992]

People quickly forget before Devon tore his bicep he had the Ermes confidence. The second round after he tore his bicep he instantly knew he couldn’t ruin his career… just recover and get stronger (which he did, stem cells) and he even says himself he’s the best he has ever been. That being said, I say genadi gets 1 quick pen and then the adjustments occur and the shut down happens and Devon raises his hand at the end easily

[@Shaun_1987]

awesome, ppv is always worth it! these guys are always moving around the top 6 best in the word, genadi is an explosive monster tat will rein a lomg tim after Levan has gone, And Devon enogh said, technical genius

[@djo-dji6018]

I hope Genadi is as strong as he believes, because after loosing to Cadorette he has a lot to demonstrate to the best of his opponents.
