Devon Larratt vs Corey West | East vs West 17 Full Match

This full match is presented by Gold Star Coffee, the world's best taste in coffee. I would like to introduce these two arm wrestlers to you now, firstly starting with this man. He hails from and is representing the United States of America. He is a dominant force on the left arm or is he? Please raise it up and welcome the Gorilla Corey West. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a sinister confidence in the eyes of Corey West as he passes me on stage and awaits the introduction of this arm wrestler. He hails from and is representing the frozen north of Canada where the soldier boy superman has ascended into arm wrestling legend. Right now, having been a national and world champion many times over and in many classes on his favoured right arm, he's focused his sights on replicating that success on the left. Arlington, please raise it up and welcome this man to the table. He is the most universally recognized arm wrestler of all time. For some men, there are no limits. All right, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it. The super heavyweights are at the table and there is no more a bigger star in the world of arm wrestling. And trust me, I hate saying it, but the man is the man. Make some noise for Devin Larratt. Ladies and gentlemen, there have been speculations. Does he deserve a left handed match at this magnitude? The answer is that champ does whatever he wants and he's here. Devin Larratt on the main stage and what a terrific opponent this young man in Corey West has the ability. He has the lane. If he can take away all the shenanigans, if he can get the start in his favour, trust me, he has what it takes to pin the Canadian arm wrestler that we all view is at the match. When you talk about MMA, you talk and you see how Conor McGregor was able to push the promotion. Ladies and gentlemen, no one pushes the promotion better than Devin Larratt. No limits Devin Larratt in the black shirt already started to talk to Corey West. West needs to be perfect in the execution and already looks a little unsettled up there. The mind games from no limits Devin Larratt. You walk a battlefield, you walk a battleground whenever you face this guy. We don't have the athlete mics in our ears but I know that there will be some very punishing searching words Devin Larratt at this stage of the match. But he will also know that the gorilla Corey West poses a threat particularly early in this match. He has massive horsepower. Can he possibly find a lane and put Devin Larratt to sleep early? The matchmakers suggest that if the match stops, advantage Larratt. Here we go. Big drive but Larratt is equal to it in the centre and it's him with the hand control. Larratt laughs accuses Corey West of running away there ominous signs early for the gorilla trap. Two ways to look at this. First of all, we know Corey West needs the straps, wants the straps. That is still an option for him to get in the strap, go to the set grip and win this match. However, unless I mean Stevie Wonder can see exactly how comfortable Devin Larratt was, this is not a good sign for the American arm wrestler. No limits has definitely gotten so big, so strong, absolutely dominating and thank goodness we will see this strap match before what may be inevitable and the Canadian is the king of Arlington once again. Devin Larratt as he starts to drill into the mind of Corey West knows in himself that he has a very different set of tools, very different set of weapons on this left arm than he does on the right and one of the biggest differences there is speed. He did a pole before the match. Big wager on the lot. Jim DiGangi said Devin Larratt can't lose, but Stan Peach was jumped up there and said listen, Corey West is going to win this match. I'll bet you this much money, but only on round one. Who's it gonna be? Jim DiGangi or Stan Peach, Devin Larratt or Corey West? Down go the thumbs, the hands will be wrapped, do not blink ladies and gentlemen. It's about to light up here and Travis it is intense and you can feel that West thinks he has a bite here. That should be a foul here for that, getting ready for that start, big drive, Corey West has massive positional advantage there and a huge elbow foul off the back of the pad. Warning signs fired there. Take the strap off, Corey. Take the strap off. If you can hear my voice, take the strap off. Your boy has just climbed and retched down on that strap. That is a veteran move I have employed many a times. Get that strap off, Corey. Take a step back. A super impressive first round for the American. I think it's easy from a social media standpoint to always think that Devin's going to be just relentless and absolutely dominating, but that round one was a very good start for one Corey West. He got a great position right after the start and you could see I wish we had the athlete mics in our ears. We can't hear what the athletes are saying, but I so wish we could. Big drive from Corey West again and he starts to try and stretch out the hand and wrist of No Limits Devin Larratt, but Larratt now with those relentless bounces to the side and he opens up the tap and starts to talk to Corey West. Comes around, West looking straight at him, little smile, but he throws the professional foul and that is the win for No Limits Devin Larratt in the first round and they go to work on each other mentally, but chink of daylight there for Corey West, but you feel like it was burned up and went into the ether Travis and I can see the cogs ticking in your mind there as that match started to unfold because there was a spot there where Devin wasn't as confident. He felt something in there. Well, that's definitely one way to look at it, Neil. Another way to look at the disgust on my face is because my goodness, this is not a great first round for Corey West. Not only did the match last six to nine seconds in the match and we all know the endurance is legendary from the Canadian, the confidence right there with it. Look at the size of Devin Larratt. He's most likely going to start the victory celebration anytime now. Just they bumped into each other at the back of the table and Devin Larratt there saying he bounced off me. Take a look at the score. I believe the score is supposed to be one nothing to Devin Larratt. At the moment, the scoreboard reflecting that it is one nothing to Corey West. I think it is one nothing. There we go. Eagle-eyed Travis Bajent there. Yeah, and listen, the elephant in the room is if you are a veteran guy, you understand strap arm wrestling. A very good first start for Corey West and as soon as the match was over, you saw the rising in Devin taking his right hand, grabbing a hold of that strap and tighten it. Corey should have definitely, that strap is then compromised. You have to have the wherewithal, the intelligence, being in the moment enough to take that thing off, take a step back, make sure everything is perfect because Corey, it kind of needs to be. Okay, okay. Big climb, an attempt to transition to the press from West but no change there for the gorilla. Whenever you see Devin Larratt start to go into this show mode, when you see him relax and ease off, you know that his opponent is in for a punishing day, both mentally and physically. Travis, this could be a very, very difficult experience. No doubt and it's really not, has nothing to do with Corey West. An absolutely outstanding, amazing arm wrestler, a super heavyweight that in the United States is almost the toughest out there. We all know it but ladies and gentlemen, there are levels to this stuff. Devin Larratt has seems to have reached a level that is unknown. Now his left arm looking just as strong and we know where he is at on the right hand. This guy is absolutely amazing right now at 49 years old, the very best he has ever been. Here we go, strap applied, the hand will close on the gorilla. Devin Larratt will look to charge to the back of the pad and secure that pronation. Huge drive there from West but big elbow infringement again and Luke Pulcher and Bill Collins both spotting it. They were all over that. More ominous signs for Corey though was that Devin Larratt would have been happy to carry on pulling. He was not worried about that one bit. They did stop the obvious tightening and rising there in between. That was a good call about the refs, a good pick up there. They kind of noticed how that strap was compromised there. This looks worse and worse as time goes on. Corey West, we believe you, we want you, drive. If you're here and you reside in the United States of America, make some noise for Corey West. The gorilla is extending himself to the back of the pad. He's in a neutral position on the hand and wrist. Oh, it's a second elbow foul I believe and that will be a second pin for Devin Larratt. You got to feel a little for Corey there. He's not lacking commitment. Guy went hard there, really drove in. He'll feel that in the morning. Hey listen, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If you had to lose, that's the most impressive way that you can lose with someone like Devin Larratt up there in control and we're starting to look at that shoulder from Devin Larratt. There is a call when that humerus drops below that elbow pad. He's not quite there yet. If Corey West can stand up a little bit more, a lot easier to say in the back room, in the commentator booth. I have been there unfortunately in that same position. What a beast that Devin Larratt becomes as the matches continue. So on the replay, Devin looking like he was under significant pressure there and the opposite angle showed us the face of the gorilla and West definitely looked like he wasn't panicking. He was very aware of what was going on. Nevertheless, he couldn't control that elbow and as he dragged back, the elbow popped off the back and he gave away another pin. It is one he could not afford to lose and Larratt now two pins to the good. Corey West, last chance saloon needs something now and at the moment when you look at this match with a balanced perspective, it's not looked at all like Devin Larratt's been in any danger or any trouble at all. No doubt now we see here in round three, I still think that there is a chance that Devin Larratt is not falling away from the table here in round three. Maybe a little bullish, a little bully ball he can play. Can he stand up tall, come forward? I can see him coming forward in a hook and finishing round three in magnificent fashion, sending this crowd into a frenzy. Listen, Neil, there are famous arm wrestlers and then there's Devin Larratt. Different league entirely. There's the speed that we know Devin has. There's the transition. There's the press of a soldier boy, Superman from the frozen north of Canada with the win. Larratt with the win. Number one right he says, number one left and he rolls that into the arena. I'm going to get out there and catch a word with him, Travis. Look at this replay and once again you see it taking the little stink off of the big man in round one and in round two and like I said maybe now no reason to fall away from the table and you've seen a lot more aggression taken the middle of the table and ladies and gentlemen, let's just be honest. There are a lot of people playing the game but only one can be the best. The best arm wrestler right and left-handed residing in North America is that young man there at the main stage. What an absolute treasure for the sport of arm wrestling. Make some noise for no limits, Devin Larratt. Ladies and gentlemen, anybody know this guy? There was a time, there was a time when there was focus and balance in the life of one Canadian I know and you were very focused on being the very best on both right and left arm Dev. I get the feeling we might see that again. Thank you Arlington. Pleasure to be here. What yeah you know in arm wrestling you have two arms you know I did pumpkin training for a long time. My left is a few years behind but it uh hey it's little brother, big brother, little brother, a little bit like your friends up north little brother you know. Thank you for having us. Honored to be here. Thank you so much Texas. Now let's talk about focus Devin. Obviously the right arm has been the focus. The super heavy weight division is the focus and as I said a moment ago to Georgy Svetkov, the super heavy weight division is stacked like never before. A lot of people talking about your right arm, who's next there, you've made it very clear that you want that to be Vitaly Laletin. That's the right arm. If you look at the left now and casting this arm forward, who would be the ideal matchup? We know Morozov is out, he's got an injury, who's next? My left arm you know it's hard to say. There are brave choices, there are conservative choices, there are choices where I take my time. Obviously everybody knows the name Kamil Jablonski. Everybody says it, I need to make that up. Much respect. I think I still need one more before. Maybe, maybe the young Swedish kid. Maybe, maybe someone in between, someone from Kazakhstan but either way I can't wait to bring balance back to my arm wrestling between my left and my right hand. It's just it means I get to be more active and arm wrestle more so that's fun for me. Now Devin, we've both been in this sport a very long time. It's in a place it's never been. You look at the stage here, you look at the people out here, you look at the numbers for the viewers at home. Arm wrestling is on the rise, you have been an enormous part of that whole journey. There's one more match tonight and it involves a man who I'm going to say without him being here I don't think either of us would. What does it mean to you tonight personally being here in the arena with arm wrestling in the state it is in now when we're about to potentially see the very last match in the career of The Perfect Storm? John Brzenk is all of our fathers. He is my father in the sport. He's also all of your fathers. I remember, I remember coming into the sport no one can beat John Brzenk. He rules over the sport. He rules over it silently. We all know, we all know he is the king and he continues to be. I personally, the way I think of John in this sport, he will live forever, forever. And even if this is his last match, I'm sure he will touch generations of arm wrestlers, many, many eons into the future. To me he was the very first of the very, very excellent arm wrestlers and honored to be here tonight. I refuse to believe that this is his last match. Surgery, no surgery, he will come back, he will come back. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to give a round of applause and show your appreciation, show your love for a driving force in modern arm wrestling. No limits. Devin Larratt.
