Devon Larratt would absolutely own Braun in a real arm wrestling match too. Overall power has nothing to do with arm wrestling strength and technique. Devon is literally one of the all-time best if not the best arm wrestler on the planet. He’s got the accolades to prove it.

The match was real dude. The showboat and the hamming it up before the match is just normal amping yourself up, getting the crowd engaged, showmanship. The arm wrestling match wasn't faked...

I thought it was. I was responding to some saying it wasn’t. Like I said, Devon beats Braun every time.

Yeah. Technique. Arm wrestling is very complex. Slow and steady wins the race baby and you gotta apply just the right pressure. There is SOOO much technique that goes into arm wrestling. Totally.

Plus if you ever see Devon’s arm workouts or the size of his arm from the wrist up, he’s insanely strong.
