I agree with krasi, Devon wrist not a 10. He needs straps to protect his wrist. He used to get flopped by John and Matt mask… and a bunch of others historically. I say protecting your wrist is different than wrist strength… I agree all around with krasi take. Let’s not assume Devon will win lower weight classes easy or at all… he will be a different version and strength than who you see at 280 Vitali is tip toeing… the juice makes all the difference. It just takes some research… and the difference is startling, but we know my thoughts on that… I’m just shocked guys are still trying to sell it.

To be fair. Losing to Levan is a safety net… he’s number 1… no shame. Losing to a guy in a class you said you could easily take over is totally different implication. Yes I think there is a fear of losing under those circumstances. Right now Devon is still viewed as number 2 overall, but a loss at a much lighter category would shatter that perception. Now, tired is tired… and cancelling a match for whatever reason is fine in my book… We should competing when we as athletes are game ready physically and mentally… I learned this hard way. Nobody should look for results when athletes are off their game. The fans should also equally distribute understanding… if you are gonna have understanding for one match being cancelled for personal reasons … then it should be do for all athletes and matches.

The chemistry abuse will eventually show up...remember Lyle Alzado ? Wake up lare at.

Devon’s wrist is definitely a 9 or 10. Devon always talks about giving things away to secure other things and his primary style lately is to give away some wrist to secure pronation. I’m sure Devon could turn plenty of the top pullers into a hook if he wanted to, it would just be a bad idea since his side pressure and biceps aren’t world elite level anymore since his elbow surgies. When you top roll the way Devon does it leaves his own wrist more exposed. But when he had to he had the wrist strength to control Prudnyk’s, Genadi’s and Ermes’ pronation like it was nothing, and also wasn’t at all at risk of losing his hand to Denis.

Devon has more applicable backpressure on the table with hand control than Ermes IMO.

I think it's a false idea that Devon fans won't like him coming down from SHW. I think real Devon fans would respect this decision, understand it, and just be happy with his continued involvement in the community whatever form it takes.

Of course, Devin is losing size. We all with a brain know why. He's off the juice! I bet that's part of why he wants to take a break. He's probably been juicing year round for the past few years. Devin seems like a healthy guy, too, so he probably realizes he needs to chill a bit. Especially at his age. He may need to be a twice a year guy going forward.

I hate how Devon's dropping so much weight. There's still work to be done in the Super Heavyweights. I think it would be a disservice to the sport if he never does the Vitaly match. Maybe that's why Vitaly left him out of his top rankings; he wanted to bait him into a match. I'm not entirely convinced that it's mainly for health reasons. After his first Levan match, he said 115kg was his more natural and healthy weight. And he really did seem healthy hovering at that 115kg to 120kg range. He didn't need to go 130+ kg to fight Super Heavyweights. He was beating elite Super Heavyweights at the 120kg range.

dude, Devon is naturally skinny with very fast metabolism. Once he takes less "vitamins" his weight goes down pronto.

Funny Devon trynna reason his way out of the category that spent his whole career trying to dominate . The guy is 6.6’? Has not business in lighter classes with much smaller frame pullers . Unless we see a different Devon that keeps his elbow in the back of the pad and is not yelling at the refs

I agree fully with Krasi. Look at the ermes video the position of Devon's body and him negating and back pressure opening of the wrist that Ermes was doing. Its logical that if you apply back pressure than your wrist doesnt take as much pressure from the opponent.

They're both right. Its the perspective. Krasi is looking at a hooking perspective as a pure wrist curling power, Engin is looking it as a "wrist handling" power. It includes fingers, front wrist(riser) and static wrist power or even whatever power to keep the wrist straight in straps. If Im not mistaken he told those too. He does not think as a single way move but more like a not foldable wrist... But toproll makes the difference and in the overall class toproller wins mostly so taking it as a whole makes more sense to me. But still Me; I think like Matyushenko. Isolate your wrist and curl from a 90 degree angle and find the pr number... Ivan said the highest he recorded ever was schoolboy. Even he did more than laletin. There goes the debate.

Devon didn't cancel the Dadikyan match because he was worried he'd lose, which is always a possibility, especially when David is so strong, but rather because he wants to have a few match-ups in his remaining career and Dadikyan isn't one of them.

Devon's riser negated everything Ermes had, Engin's point about Ermes insane backpressure is nullified when he can't access it, Devon's leverage and superior riser negated everything else Ermes had, same thing happened with Levan v Devon, Levan's superior riser took Devon' pronation/wrist out completely when he adjusted and made it the focal point from round two onwards

If devon's wrist is 7, then levan's wrist may be 6, because he couldn't cup devon...lol

It has been said many times in the comments that Devons mentally drained. And that way he can not compete or train the way he wants. He didnt cancel the match of fear of losing or that he is afraid of David.

Logically, Krasi's position doesn't make sense, because if it did Devon would get hooked by anybody that's half decent at hook pulling. If he's saying that Devon's wrist is a 7 and no one is higher, ok, maybe. But tell me who, in the last 2 years, has forced Devon into a hook?

I think Devon would have lost to David. I think Devons wrist is maybe an 7.5. Both defensive (not getting wrist taken) and offense (cupping your wrist in) are important in the card rankings, which are currently. . . Pretty meaningless. Both weight lifted and table performance need to be taken into account (more importance to the latter). We also need to remember that you can protect your wrist by leaning on other strengths. Devon also lost his wrist in multiple matches. I also think speaking in terms like “wrist” and “hand” creates a fertile breeding ground for confusion. If we used anatomical terms like “wrist flexion” and “pronation” and “radial deviation” as well as general categories like “overall wrist strength” we would get a clearer picture of what is being claimed by the rankings shown on the back of the cards. Arm wrestling has grown hugely in recent years, is it time to modernize the terms we use to talk about specific arm wrestling abilities? I lean strongly towards yes, what does everybody else think?

Devon can not cut to 95kg easily. Even when he sits on 105.

I think it would be valuable if you actually discuss and feed in more of your thoughts on these topics as well.

I absolutely agree with Krasi. I have saying this since long. Strong pronation does not mean strong wrist. Devon does not lose his wrist because he himself takes others wrist and not with his wrist but with his pronation. Now, let's say someone needs take his wrist, that means Devon will go for the hook and someone will toproll him and take his wrist with their pronation. For this to happen, they need to have longer lever than Devon or they need to be stupid strong like Levan. This is the reason why shorter arm armwreslters always try to hook and longer guys go for the toproll. How can someone say a person's wrist is strong when he does not even use his wrist.
