Is he? 95 kg Liliev flashed Krasmir with ease. I really think that over 100 kg Liliev has the biggest chance against Devon.
Devon lost to Don Underwood who is 70% as fast and 60% as strong Arsen (Armfight40 version)
Just my 2 cents

I disagree with your thoughts Tomasz, Devon was letting him go and get in position and pulling through it. Krasmir is super strong and I bet you and say that if Arsen lets Krasimir pull him inside like that he doesn't stand a chance. In a REAL match Devon would beat him Krasmir 6-0. Engin said it would take Devon maybe 4-6 seconds to pin Krasmir. With that said Arsen still may have a chance with his hit and power up top, but comparing practice to real matches doesn't really count because it's just that practice.......

Devon looks like a beast here witrh those huge strong looking biceps and forearms but I really believe devon could be the next big thing in mma with only a few years of training like jon jones. Devon has too many fighter traits not to be fighting especially with his work effort. He could make so much money plus compete in armwerestling. Armwresttling needs another famous athlete feom another sport tto come to armwrestling so armwrestling will get ythe mainstream attention it needs.

It was just practice...
Arsen has chances with Devon, but these videos don't tell nothing about Devon.

Johny: I agree with You. In a supermatch Devon would beat Krasmir 6:0 undoubtedly.
All I wanna say is that great shape Arsen (over 100 kg) has the biggest chance to defeat Devon: mainly because his fighting style.
Michael Todd would beat Cyplenkov (in my opinion preatty similat way like with Pushkar)
Larrat would beat Cyplenkov- because Cyplenkov doesn't think a lot at get pumped very quickl.
But Arsen CAN beat Devon.
Moreover: i would bet 100$ on good shape Arsen if he meets Devon fresh at the tourney (one fight only)

Anyone who has practiced with Devon before knows how long he'll stay at that table. I've watched him pull for 5 hours after Nationals until he drops to the point where much smaller guys will give him grief. A one minute clip from practice after an unknown amount of time has passed isn't exactly an accurate reference point for how he'll do against a given puller.

Tomasz.... I also think that Arsen at 225lbs can beat Devon with his awesome toproll and speed. Anything inside or slow or if Devon stops him anywhere its over Devon is the stronger man. Over 6 rounds i think Devon 4:2 but i think Michael Todd will beat Arsen 6:0 and everyone out there except Devon its funny how styles make matches. This is all just my opinion of course.

I've pulled with Devon several times and absolutely agree with everything you said. Dont know if people really understand how insane of a puller Devon really is. Pushkar, Arsen could definately give him problems with speed, however I still think either one of them in a supermatch against Devon are still a couple years away from having a chance to beat him over 5+ rounds. Devon 4-2 over both. |

I agree too that he would prob do well in MMA. I think I heard he was into judo at some point....can you imagine....sparing him would be a nightmare. |

I can confirm, that this type of training is part of the reason Devon is successful. He didn't try and hit or gain position as if he were in a real match. Instead he was training with some of the best and wanted to test things out (in my opinion).
Even when he's traveling, Devon seeks out various clubs to train with as often as possible. It's certainly not for publicity. It's through passion of wanting to be the best he can be at armwrestling.
Like others have said, it's just that, training. Devon is able to take ANYBODY who is willing to get on the table with him and is able to make the most of it. Like others have said, there isn't any substitute for table time, and this is it. I've seen him pull with much lighter amateur pullers, grab wrists, and let his arm drop as far to the pin line as possible just to train. He knows how to train effectively and put his ridiculous endurance and recovery to the test.
I can comment on this as I've been part of numerous training sessions and I know how he operates. It's truly astounding to get that kind of table time with him.
