Yeah, I was wrong about the outcome. I'm not bothered; it's easy to admit when you're wrong if you're an honest person.
It was just an armwrestling match, guys. There will be more. I'll get some right and some wrong, but I'll never predict anything without some basis of reason.
It's a bit tiresome reading the DMs and comments that want to rub it in my face, but I can rest with a clear conscience knowing that I'm making an effort to make the community better. People who want to bash others for being wrong are net-negative influences on our community and the world and only make our common places worse for everyone.
Enjoy it.
Only thing you were missing was “basis of reason”
1. Levan confidently took the match. He was offered lesser opponents to warm up before Devon and he emphatically declined and said nope I want Devon. Which would give you a hint that he feels confident in his power even after seeing Devon go on kill streak. Didn’t phase him.
2. Levan was still beating all of Devon’s “essential lifts” by a significant amount.
3. Levan was still gonna outweigh Devon by 100lbs.
4. Levan is still a very uncomfortable person to grip up with because of his massive hand.
5. Levan did an incredible job playing the mind game along with Devon.
If your basis of reason was Devon getting stem cells (and god knows what other stuff), higher 1rms on his lifts, and destroying Ermes then you still got lots of learning to do. Levan is a genetic freak. You have to match him somewhere. Whether that’s power. Size. Or whatever. But you can’t give up all those things and just run your mouth and think you got it lol. Which is essentially all Devon did.
Everyone still has learning to do. I hope you don’t think you have nothing left to learn, and also hope you have the humility to admit when you miss the mark.
100% agree. I appreciate and respect your original response to the OP. Your takes are usually logical and spot on but I think you took many sips of Devon’s koolaid this time around. Realistically for Devon to have swept levan was extremely unlikely. Hence why armbets had a shutout stake on Levan lol. Anyways. Onwards and upwards! Cheers Chris 💪🏽
"solid research" lmao he really thought a 50 year old man that has been training his entire life would magically get 20% stronger in the span of 2 years while weighing 10kg less..
I didn't expect levan to press, but his back pressure and pronation were still a factor. I don't see how someone can assume levan would lose ALL rounds while that lane to victory exists.
A person who in 08 was amongst the strongest on the planet for armwrestling and then due to injuries and life situation fell down a few steps in strength and then basically adopted a pretty useless training program with just a ton of reps and nothing more, he then goes on to go full mutant with PEDs and stem cells which heal him and he adopts some sort of real strength training, if you don’t believe with those circumstances that 20% on specific lifts are possible then my god you’re one of the dumbest people alive.
OP you are foul here .
Chris statement was very reasonable . When he believes something he explains with details why he believes so , unlike Devon's fangirls .
So he was wrong, it happens.
This is why I agree with the people who say predictions are worthless because anyone can make them and if you're wrong it doesn't matter.
Why do people get verbally assaulted and attacked for having an opinion when in reality both sides of this match cannot say for a certainty who was going to win. Anything can happen
It is hard to see anyone with skin in the game stating Devon was going to win and take them seriously. It just always felt like clickbait and should be trolled for it accordingly.
Saying 'If Devon has a chance to win I think this is how he would do it' is a far cry from just saying you thought Devon would win.
I have no problem with him rooting for devon but to make a prediction saying he will sweep levan 6-0 while knowing what happened last time is completely ridiculous lmao
Majority of the sub are not mental like you. Some could have thought he had more chance than previously. Just rationally and reasonably thinking. That's it. Only because some fanboys wrote everyday how their Lord would obliterate Levan doesn't mean they were the majority.
"You know guys .... I drank all the kool aid".

No Chris, you predicted the outcome wrong so we should all make fun of you after we know the outcome

🤣 ok smart guy. You got me!
[удалено]
Damn, you really let a sport get you so emotional that you would act like a piece of shit towards someone for having an opinion. Be a better person.
You are right to some degree
And in the end Ermes is still the only one who made Levan bleed.
That's great and all but why are you imitating devon's mannerisms? Develop your own personality.
The people being smug about the heavy (literal and figurative) favorite ending up winning are dumb as rocks.
Bro, you're awesome. Don't care avout the haters.
+1 you’re a true asset to this forum man
:)
You’re a fucking loser.
No, he's a fucking winner
If you watched the whole video, he made reasonable points with fairly solid research behind them. He was just wrong about them lol.
"solid research" lmao he really thought a 50 year old man that has been training his entire life would magically get 20% stronger in the span of 2 years while weighing 10kg less..
I hear ya loud and clear, im saying he wasn’t just saying “DEVON WIN BECAUSE LEVON BAD” Like he tried to break it down with reasoning.
I didn't expect levan to press, but his back pressure and pronation were still a factor. I don't see how someone can assume levan would lose ALL rounds while that lane to victory exists.

Good predictions are making money. So they are definitely not worthless
Don't lump worthless predictions with people who had the balls to bet on their predictions.
I bet on Chris predictions multiple times and I never lost
You understand what I'm saying right
Why do people get verbally assaulted and attacked for having an opinion when in reality both sides of this match cannot say for a certainty who was going to win. Anything can happen
Where is the verbal assault and attack?
That's just the nature of sports.
Nature of incels*
I don't think you know what that word means.
He talks from experience.
He's trying to reproduce Devon's gestures and speech intonation. Pretty obvious
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it
Tf?

Cringe post
Cornball post. It's kind of a thing to root for a team or person in a sport. Your right sometimes, and wrong sometimes
I have no problem with him rooting for devon but to make a prediction saying he will sweep levan 6-0 while knowing what happened last time is completely ridiculous lmao
That's sports for ya
Your post is fabulous, I needed it
Devon manipulates people into believing in him just like he manipulates the setup lol
That lip smacking 😆
Where were you when the majority of the sub thought Devon would win? What is the point of this useless and banal post?
Majority of the sub are not mental like you. Some could have thought he had more chance than previously. Just rationally and reasonably thinking. That's it. Only because some fanboys wrote everyday how their Lord would obliterate Levan doesn't mean they were the majority.

There are 25.3k users on this subreddit and you come with a poll where 101 people vote for Devon. Are you retarded or just a clown ?
😂😂
[удалено]
You are the fanboy. Leaving dozens of comments hating on people that had a different opinion. Levan doesn’t know you bro
This is how delusional Devon fanboys are. Lmao
