Good morning bud hope you and your family are doing well today and thank you for sharing your videos there’s so amazing + they have lots of information and knowledge

Amazing to see Engin giving the attention to armwrestling that he and Devon both believed the sport deserved back then. 🙏🏽🙌🙌 Devon straight up said with the right promotion everyone can enjoy armwrestling and fast forward to 2022 where Engin is coming through with East vs West! WOWWWW 🙌💯💯So cool to hear younger Devon and Engin and it’s also cool to see Devon fulfill his words “I believe there is always a capacity to enjoy the sport as you age.” Heavyweight champ at 47 years old 💪🏽

Wow, awesome video Thank you.

Great vid, one thing that stands out is that Devon kind of understands that he needs people like Engin, and John etc to build the sport and they need him, its a real team effort. Like a business start up. Well 10 yrs later you're well on your way. Great job!

What a great gem 💎 from the Archives Engin 😎💪

It's a great video to show on the sreen before Devon vs Levan fight

I love how he answered Yeah I do! LOL. And he did!! MashAllah!

Great to see, that Engin and Devon got way back. And where the nickname superman comes from. He really looked like Clark Kent

The Ambassador, done so much for the sport.. thank you Devon Laratt..

What a great pice of history, Devon hasn’t stayed the same he has gotten better all round as a arm wrestler and a person.tTanks for shearing Engin!

"My name is Devon Larratt and I am the arm wrestling Superman. Unlike Clark Kent I trash talk a lot and if he were into arm wrestling, I would beat him for sure as I am waaayyyyy tooo stroooong. After that .... one by one all olympians will fall."

Well said Devon. The Turkish light to arm wrestling 💪

Love the history ❤

Not much has changed in 10 years. both of you’re incite was correct. cheers Engin ! Thank you for the great content.

*Such a beautiful specimen*

Very nice interview with one of the adorable and honest armwrestler on the planet!

Wow! This was 2012! He looks waaay younger! Although when he cut his hair recently he did look younger too!

Devon is the greatest of all, because of the ability to pass this wonderful sport to everyone he is a superstar, people come to see him especially!! And if we add the ability to win anyone on the table and also sometimes lose (happens rarely) and come back always stronger !! That's the difference between him and everyone really the biggest in this sport

This proves that Engin had his sights set on this major powerhouse promotion like East vs West many years ago..these 2 guys changed Armwrestling in my opinion

That was wonderful to watch! Engin- Arm wrestling needs to start an annual Hall of Fame that is televised or main streamed. Just like the NFL, NBA, MLB, or RocknRoll. Etc. While the greatest are still alive to receive! Start a donation, I’ll even put $100.00 bucks towards it- RockNRolla, CA USA 🇺🇸

I really feel delighted to see where's the sport today and specially with East vs West every excellent event. We're truly thankful for everyone who contributed to this and specially to the brilliant mind of Engin which i know Engin doesn't like this kind of words a lot.

His best point is how it's a combat sport but the peak worst injury is a broken arm. So it's this awesome hybrid of going all out, screaming and adjusting but then you can walk away fine
