Something to keep in mind about endurance. You have to be able to stay below maximum effort in order to use endurance. The fact that the strength gap between these two is too great that it negated Devan’s endurance advantage.

[@ScaramouchedaVinci]

Thats right. Of course. Because, there is hardly an arm wrestler who has as much endurance as Devon. Levan's primal power was too much for Devon, which Levan couldn't use such with Ermes.

[@SirYakToast]

Correct. I’ve been saying this as well.

[@lmdoinraysmom]

It’s literally the same thing as eddie hall breaking the clean and press crossfit record. This guy in the video doesn’t understand how endurance works. Eddie got the record with around 135 for reps. And by no means does he have good endurance compared to other elite crossfitters. He’s just so massively strong that the weight was nothing in comparison. Endurance is really only a measure of how long can you endure your max output. Since levan never had to max. It wasn’t even endurance for him. Meanwhile devons was maxing everytime

[@ScaramouchedaVinci]

@@lmdoinraysmom Right. And the endurance for Levan ist ok but not high level. You see this how he fought against Ermes. Levan won but he was ko.

[@darthvader7886]

You gas out rapidly in losing position, endurance is a byproduct of strength.

[@NSB25445]

This is bullshit. Endurance is a function of strength. Levan was not redlining, he was holding, and Devon was at his absolute max and got ripped open. Strength is what beat Devon, they were nowhere near close in strength.

Usain Bolt made everyone look slow during his races, but he was only like 5% faster, if that. It doesn't take much of a difference at an elite level, and Levan himself said Devon's pronation was really strong.

You cant say Levan has better endurance. Now imagine if Levan armwrestled someone stronger than him, he would go oxygenmask instantly. But he is so much more stronger than everyone, that he is not consuming that much of his stamina.

Younger Devon Is NOTHING to prime Levan, younger Devon lost to guys like Michael Todd 😂 do you really think that a guy that Is struggling to beat a Michael Todd, or a Dave Chaffe would beat Levan? Of course not. Levan Is just genetically built different, Is willing to sacrifice a lot and Is also smart. Devon would NEVER have a chance. Not younger and not now.

[@tacipotti7289]

People missunderstand endurance and confuse it with cardiovascular capacity a lot. Endurance is determined by your strenght. If you are repping weights that are 40% of your maximum effort, your endurance will look great and you will be able to rep many times. If you are approaching a 100% maximum effort then your endurance will drastically reduce. The fact the Devon couldnt put Levan in a unfavorable less efficient position and the fact that Devon has to be at a 100% maximum effort just to hold Levan while Levan can pin Devon without going at a 100% max effort for long is what made Devon look like he had worse endurance than Levan.

[@user-pb7pr3di8m]

Ehm no? Your first part is correct but then you contradict yourself with the phrase "MADE DEVON LOOK LIKE" (as if he had "in reality" endurance but he only LOOKED LIKE he had no endurance) which is 100% false. Devon is weaker than Levan. There is no endurance.

You can't have high endurance against someone who is way stronger than you. If the strength gap is too great endurance will drain fast no matter who you are. Against someone equally strong I am sure Devon would still be quite durable.

[@user-pb7pr3di8m]

So its 100% correct to say that Devon has bad endurance (in the important matches). but they tried to say that Devon has some entity called "endurance" with which he demolishes his opponents.

[@Wisoo]

@@user-pb7pr3di8m Well partly I guess, although two athletes of equal strength will gas out at different speeds so endurance is definitely a real thing, and Devon probably has above average endurance. But he also probably has below average strength in a lot of spots. Really he seems to shine with pronation, hand and wrist and be weak in other areas.

Devon looked so incredibly disappointed at the loss. Such a shame after all the incredible victories and the tireless dedication he’s given over the 1 year and 10 months after their first match. If he could have just scored one point against Levan. To see Devon hold Levan for those 15 or so seconds, the crowd going crazy, was absolutely epic! The most exciting thing I’ve experienced as a fan.

[@larrytate1657]

I’m not sure why he thought he’d win after the first match. Did he rly think he got them much stronger in a short time at his age?

[@klefthoofrobert787]

He looked like that because he knew he deserved the loss, because the formula to beat Levan (or at least not get humiliated again) was to just get strong whole upper body. But nah, he fixated on just forearm exercises again, aka he knew he fked up, because this is what he did the first time. Now what is gonna do if he has a 3rd chance? focus on JUST forearms again :)) fixation that "you" know the correct way of doing things is a powerful thing in life, he should look at what others are doing and learn.

For real though, I can't imagine anyone using the phrase GOAT for anyone but Brzenk for another 20 years or so. I feel like Levan, dominant as he is, will have to maintain, and Brzenk having started so young, it's likely going to require another youngster, younger than Levan, to pull it off. Sheer strength, there are many that outclassed John. He still held the top spot for longer than likely anyone ever will.

[@klefthoofrobert787]

Devon's weakness has always been the fact that he fixates only on forearm specific exercises. One dude benches 250kg and the other can barely bench 100kg...he lost the first time to Levan because he was too weak everywhere compared to Levan, and all Devon did was to improve his forearm even further, which was a bad call. He should've been doing whole body training, even John Brzenk said (if i remember correctly) that the best single exercise for armwrestling is pull ups. Devon 100% deserves this loss and he genuinely had the formula in front of him, just get strong bro, and not just in your god damn forearms :)

[@romans7177]

Devon’s refusal to train his bicep directly is what caused his loss both times. His open top roll style can stop people who don’t have enormous side pressure. It’s what cause his arm back in the day to get flattened by Todd Hutchings and Dave Chaffee. Round 1 Devon had a hugely advantageous set up. That’s why it stopped round 1.

[@pinhigh1]

Meh. I think Devon and Levan was a great match largely intended to bring attention to this sport. Was there really any chance a 49 year old 265lb guy would beat a 35 year old 415lb guy? Almost zero chance. But they are the two biggest names in the sport currently. So bringing them together made some sense. Everyone talked about it non-stop for weeks and weeks. Mission accomplished for arm wrestling. Devon is at least a weight class below Levan. Levan is a mountain. The current insurmountable mountain and WC at SHW. This is not the last we will see of either of them. But the last we will see of them head to head. Love it all ! ! !

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

I think Ermes' rematch makes the most sense for Levan. The best scenario would be battles between Devon, Genadi, Ermes and Kurdecha (maybe Vitaly or Zaur), and if clear winner emerges, then to pull Levan. But this would take too long...

[@user-pb7pr3di8m]

Devon should stay in SHW and act as arbiter for Levan. If someone beats the undisputable #2 Devon, THEN you can have a match against Levan.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@user-pb7pr3di8m Yep. Although between Ermes, Devon and Levan, there is style discrepancy. Ermes might not be able to beat Devon, yet has better chance vs Levan. Ermes' style is weak vs Devon, but strong vs Levan. I would love to see Devon vs Kurdecha, Vitaly and Zaur.

[@stevenrintoul2381]

@@user-pb7pr3di8m Nah Devon is 50 and Levan is 50kg heavier. I doubt he's in the sport to not be champion. Devon is a natural Heavyweight competing in the division up. Drop down and compete in his division as Levan is to big. Devon could hit the gym and lift some weights but i think he like the technical side and not the weight lifting side that Levan brings. To beat Levan Devon would have to kill himself and even then it might not be enough.

[@mallhi5557]

Muscular endurance is greatly misunderstood by the arm wrestling community. Strength dictates muscular endurance. If you are stronger than your opponent, your endurance is better than your opponent. You have to consider putting people in a position where they have to work more than you. When the gap is closer, arm wrestlers like Dave Chaffee will redline, trying to get a pin and gas themselves out. Levan is smart. He did not play Devon’s game. He waited patiently cuz he knew he was the stronger guy, and Devon is working harder than him. Devon gives that illusion of having good endurance only because he has an incredible ability to put his opponents in bad positions, all the while making those people work significantly harder.

[@BrianJohnsonArmwrestling]

So he had no endurance when he pulled Georgi or Denis? Sure buddy

[@mallhi5557]

@BrianJohnsonArmwrestling Devon’s technical prowess will always mislead people into thinking it’s endurance. There is a reason why HE HIMSELF says endurance is misunderstood by the community. In Devon’s own words, endurance is just being in a position where the other person has to work more. Georgi was constantly hitting Devon, he was effectively working more so he gassed sooner. If Georgi had been slightly more patient, and a lot more technical, it would be a different match. Devon also kept egging him on to get Georgi to continue to hit cuz it was to Devon’s benefit. In the Denis match, Denis was not gassing out, he just had the weaker hand and no answer to Devon’s moves. Devon pulled far more efficiently by using literally his entire chain of muscles against Denis’ hand alone. Again, Devon is known for his endurance - except when he loses it’s almost always cuz he gasses. This is because he gets beaten in key areas that cause him to pull less efficiently. That is all what arm wrestling is. Dave Chaffee is probably widely considered as somebody with bad endurance. The problem with Dave is that he continues to grind from bad positions when he gets stopped. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t have endurance, it just means he’s going max effort in a less efficient position.

Just as it becomes challenging to maintain endurance with age, as seen with Devon, retaining size and strength like Levan's for many years can also be difficult, especially when it involves 180 kg of muscle. Maintaining such physical attributes typically requires continual, rigorous training and excellent health management, but even with these, natural aging processes can diminish strength and muscle mass over time.

Age catches up to everyone. Devon's endurance isn't what it use to be, but even then he was always better at recovering and long-term endurance over short-term. Short-term would be "in match" endurance. Long-term would be more like pulling for 5 hours and still pulling at a decent level. His short-term endurance always seems so high because he's usually the guy in the more efficient position; that makes anyone look good. Genadi exposed this back during their match too.

[@DylanFowler]

Levan was unsure about his wrist, and was testing the water. But that impressive flop press helped warm up Levan's wrist. The rest is history. Such a shame there is no one to seriously challenge Levan at the moment.

I've been following Pradeep's channel for a few years now, it's really amazing that after so long there are details that slip through that make it ridiculous to talk about him as a professional sports reporter, what should be an analogy for a sports journalist. Listening to Pradeep, one gets the impression that he is not only obsessed with Devon Laratt but also in love with him and that in almost every video he "colors" a certain situation the way that suits him best. Levan was apparently "soft" in the aforementioned video out of great respect for Devon Laratt. Namely, it is already clear to everyone that he cannot overcome the huge gap with a uniform type of exercises, I am talking about Laratt, and here Pradeep is trying to reduce it. Many people talked about these things, including the Voevoda and Levan himself, how Laratt strengthened specific "vectors" and nothing more. Of course, I don't want to suggest that he is weak, on the contrary, but the bottom line is that compared to 2022, nothing significant has changed and that Levan beat him with almost the same strength in all rounds as he did then. As for the quiet ten seconds in the first round, Terzi also spoke, Levan held him comfortably and was completely relaxed thinking at that moment what was the best thing to do, because his wrist, as injured as it was, was still not warmed up.

[@dil8784]

Endurance only matters if both people are at close to equal strength. Then you can have it out and see who’s the last man standing. But if you outmatched in strength then you trying to move the same amount weight as the other guy who clearly is not struggling but you on the other hand has to work way way harder just to even keep up but falling way behind at the same time. it’s going to burn you out real fast.

Taking into account Levan coming back from injury and the schooling he did every other round I'd say the gap wasn't closed much.

I respect both devon and levan and though levan is unbeatable right now, the truth is also that still there are not many arm wrestlers out there who can defeat devon in any weight category. This is a fact! Devon is still one of the top arm wrestlers of the world and he deserves this anyways. Gave his entire life after his military career for this sport only... He's bound to be great! 👍🙂

[@Wyd4]

I have always considered Devon to have great endurance, however moreso I see him as a very efficient puller. His technique allows him to sit in pockets that result in his opponents gassing out before him. Someone like Levan is just far too powerful and pushes straight through any attempt to burn him out. Endurance and efficiency only work when within a range, Levan exceeds that. Put Devon up against someone who us more closely matched and you will still see the same (or similar) levels of endurance and efficiency you always have. Levan is just anothet animal all together

[@14lamnc1]

If Devon can pick up 40kg, he can beat him, he needs to get bigget. Thats why there is weight classes

[@thomasmrkeby6488]

Well, what is side pressure? For the shoulder it is internal rotation. And what is the biggest muscle that does this? Pectoralis major. And what is the one thing Devon does not train? Pecs. You gain the most where you are the weakest. You can see it in multiple of his videos. He loses his internal rotation for several people but holds the elbow flexion. Yet, with loss of internal rotation to his opponent, the opponent gains acceleration towards the pad. In short Devon weak link is his pecs for losing the center.

[@godlyaardvark7265]

I still don’t think that Devon’s endurance is actually “bad” as people are saying now. Sure it’s not as good as it was when he was younger, but it’s still really good. Devon doesn’t gas out because he generally doesn’t need to use 100% and puts his opponents into a more draining position, giving the “illusion” that he has infinite endurance. Devon may have closed the strength gap, but he can only redline for so long before gassing out himself

[@jasonfritz838]

No one is saying that except for this pathetic channel.

[@gplay1270]

Pradeep, you're drawing incorrect conclusions on almost all fronts. Levan was clearly mentally and physically prepared for a stop. And he knew that the stop would be better placed in the centre, unlike against Ermes, two inches above the pad. It's evident that Levan used the first round to gauge: his own wrist and Devon's weaknesses. He also himself admits that he felt after that first round that his wrist was strong enough for toprolls throughout the course of the match.

I mean I been saying that. Look at Genadi match, the strength overtakes the “endurance” if Devon was stronger it would be a factor, but yes he’s getting older as well. Obviously Devon can hold 100 guys weaker than him which is impressive, but yeah Levan can sit there as a stone wall and drain him

[@jonathanpeach1226]

Is there any point in seeing Devon Levan again even if he does stay in the SHW and beats everyone else. I know styles make matches, but Levans power breaks the scales.

[@Smoothcarries]

No way you go to the gym, train as much as you do, and not understand the basics of endurance….endurance doesn’t play a part if the strength gap is too big….

[@Okok-qk6nb]

People often claim that arm wrestling isn't about strength. However, the sport has been so niche that truly strong competitors like Denis and Levan are rare. Their dominance highlights this point. Compared to some global strength athletes, Denis and Levan might seem less formidable. Imagine if powerhouses like Brian Shaw, Hafthor Bjornson, or Eddie Hall were to train specifically in arm wrestling while maintaining their overall strength.. there would likely be many more competitors at Levan's level. Ermes, who weighs "only" 130 kg, almost defeated Levan. The current top tier in arm wrestling includes Levan, Ermes, Morozov, and Alex, with the latter two just needing more time to reach their peak. As the sport grows, we can expect more athletes to achieve this level. As for Devon he really needs to do proper gym training and gain a lot more strength if he wants to join this level. He is not too old. I think he is just lazy :)

[@unreel1967]

I thought as soon as Devon stopped Levan it’s game over? According to everyone lol

[@dakedakinson64]

All the training Devon did allowed him only to hold Levan for half of round.

[@rignanroach1775]

I think you're conflating endurance with power. Devons endurance is higher. In cases where he "gasses out" is because the power difference is so high that any little loss in Devon's peek power kills him. In any conflict where he can apply actual endurance, he does well.

[@adeeo]

This is not about age or endurance. Devon is Armwrestling hours and hours... If you are armwrestling, then simply you know, that Levans whole chain, pronator not counted is stronger. So you can hold Levan for some time until he puts in all the other parts. Easy explanation.

[@mrmrgaming]

His endurance is amazing, it is just not good versus someone stronger and 50 to 60kg heavier than him lol

[@merlescott8455]

​​​@@PeeBurps-gk7cu He has a bizarre fantasy world of Devon. It's so weird. Seen him post on 4-5 channels the same exact comment after Devon lost to Kamil. Levan toyed with Devon and gave him his hand after the ref gave Devon everything in the setup. You don't squash someone and take their hand the next 3 rounds that you struggled with round 1. Levan molested Devon and his fans. They are unhinged and grasping at anything at this point. Round 1 will be the new "he felt something"..yea his arm getting ripped off his body,but taunting and shit talking is more important when living vicariously through another man. Performance is secondary. It shows their personality type. They would act the same way if they were ever given a position of power.

[@bcherry8953]

Devon has better endurance. The problem is Levan was so much stronger that Devon was forced to use everything while Levan wasnt. If they were near the same strength Devon would have had a chance, but Levan is too big and too strong. I do not care how good your endurance is, when you are giving it your all then you will tire out faster.

[@bronkonovak6555]

In order to have a strong press you must work your triceps and bench press, Devon lacked both..

[@ScaramouchedaVinci]

And, there is hardly an arm wrestler who has as much endurance as Devon. Sometimes two people don't fit together. You notice that with Ermes vs Devon, Ermes vs Levan. And, there is hardly an arm wrestler who has as much endurance as Devon.

[@BrandonBostonCreator]

You literally do not understand endurance. The ONLY fair way to judge that is both are putting out the same amount of effort in the same position. If Devon is going 100% in a bad position vs Levan going 70% in a good position, its not even comparable. The size of Levan along with his strength, thats literally it. Is this really a conversation? Devon clearly has better "actual" endurance. You people just see someone get tired going their max and redefine what endurance means. Lol.

[@kamartaj]

He stopped taking equipoise for health reasons so his endurance dropped.

[@kennyproctor7691]

Just really sucks for all serious arm wrestlers who genuinely want to be recognized as the best in the world lol. Levan has made us all remember who THE MAN is! All others are fighting for #2 LMAO

[@tacipotti7289]

Devons endurance has never been that good. He has always relied on getting a much more efficient position than his opponent, he gets in a lock position where he doesnt consume half the energy of an opponent that is attacking him in a way less efficient position. That doesnt mean he has great enfurance, it only means he is very efficient on the defensive.

[@L.o.u.i.s..]

He's merely 100 pounds of muscle too light.

[@Papaspronator]

The thing is I think there is still a path to #1 again for Devon without defeating Levan. Styles make matches. What if Ermes beats Denis and then Levan. You really think Devon won’t want to then try to take a stab at Ermes. And you really think Ermes wouldn’t want to avenge his loss to Devon? Question is can Ermes defeat Levan. I doubt it but you never know. Based off their last match it atleast looks possible.

[@Myblacknadz]

Pradeep doesnt understand what endurance is.

[@PrimeA169]

Stop saying “he took his wrist”. He never took his wrist. They started deadlocked in the center because levan didn’t want to hit hard because he lacked confidence in his wrist. Giving up your wrist to press someone isn’t having your wrist taken LOL This channel is horrible. Watch an interview before you make garbage and post it. This was a worse beating than last time

[@daveorourke2468]

Well according to Levan, they stopped in the center because Devon's pronation and back pressure was very strong and Levan was losing his wrist if he continued to surge

[@PrimeA169]

@@daveorourke2468 the same could be said to Devon. Nobody moves forward because they were afraid of losing it. With that being said nobody tried to hit either. If levan hit he would destroy Devon. He was just warming up. He is being modest. Levan has way more backpressure and pronation than Devon. Not even close
