The list of men who could beat Devon Larratt gets short once the question moves from raw strength to an actual supermatch.

Devon can lose center and keep the one connection that’s crucial. His pronation stays attached in the strap, the opponent spends energy trying to finish, and a bad-looking stop becomes his route back. A stronger toproll alone gives him familiar work.

Vitaly Laletin can take away Devon’s leverage. Kamil Jablonski can skip the hand fight. Levan Saginashvili has already controlled every layer.

Only Levan would enter favored over Devon.

Vitaly Can Take Away Devon’s Reach

Devon usually gets to pull like the taller man. Vitaly removes that comfort before the referee says go. His forearm reaches farther across the table, and his low-hand toproll can attack Devon’s fingers without climbing into Devon’s preferred high grip.

Their East vs West 23 match proved the danger and the limit. Vitaly stretched Devon open, drove hard through center, and forced one of the deepest defensive pulls of Devon’s recent run. Devon still kept enough pronation to survive. Once Vitaly had to finish through that open arm, each surge slowed and his wrist position weakened.

Our look at Devon’s win over Vitaly showed why the result settled the order without settling the matchup. Vitaly already reached the position most opponents never find. A rematch would test whether he can close it before Devon turns another stop into recovery time.

Kamil Can Skip the Hand Fight

Kamil’s flop press asks a rougher question. He can surrender the wrist, connect his shoulder, and drive at Devon’s elbow flexion before the hand battle develops.

That route is important because Devon’s best defensive habits need time. He wants contact through the thumb and a strap position that keeps his pronation loaded. A clean press can place force above that structure and make him hold with the arm instead.

Kamil also showed more than one lane in his 4-2 win over Georgi Tsvetkov. Georgi dragged him away from the press, so Kamil used open-arm defense, preserved pronation, and found the shoulder again. That adjustment gives Devon a harder assignment than a one-shot presser would.

Devon would enter as the favorite. Kamil still owns the move most likely to deny him a comfortable first stop.

Levan Has Already Supplied the Answer

Levan remains the only proven favorite over Devon. He can win the rise, close his cup, and bring his shoulder forward after Devon’s arm opens. The first two matches supplied ten rounds of evidence and no full route back for Devon.

His decision to relinquish the East vs West title. opened the championship without erasing that table record. Recovery has moved him out of the active title path. A loss still has to move him out of Devon’s way.

Morozov has the improving outside game. Michael Todd, Alex Kurdecha, Ermes Gasparini, and Georgi all carry pieces that can steal a round. Each still needs a second answer once Devon settles into the match.
