Larratt comes to Budapest off a 4-0 sweep of Ivan Matyushenko at EVW 26, and Matyushenko holds the right-arm heavyweight belt. That match was on the left arm, but it showed Devon's hand and wrist control are still elite. Sagov sits third in the right-arm heavyweight rankings and beat Yordan Tsonev 3-0 in Batumi on August 1. The open question is weight: Devon drops to 115 kg for this match, and a hard cut can cost him endurance in rounds four and five. We back Larratt and expect Sagov to take at least one round.

A standard supermatch goes to the first athlete to win 3 rounds. Title matches go to 4 wins out of 7.
Athletes change sides of the table after each round and get 60 seconds of rest between rounds.
If the athletes cannot set a grip in 30 seconds, the referee sets it. Once a referee's grip is used, every later round starts the same way.
A slip-out restarts the round in straps. After two slipped rounds, all remaining rounds start in straps.
Two warnings make a foul, and two fouls cost the athlete the round.
Official weigh-ins happen at least 24 hours before the event. A title match is cancelled if either athlete misses weight.
Right-arm and left-arm records are separate. A champion on the right can be ordinary on the left, so check the ranking for the arm of this match.
An athlete who drops a class for the match can look strong in round one and fade late. That matters most for total rounds.
Toproll pullers attack the fingers and wrist, hook pullers pull the opponent into the inside. When a hooker meets a strong toproller, straps come into play and rounds get longer.
Long layoffs and injuries matter more than in most sports. An athlete returning after a year off is a risk even as a favorite.
Odds often move after the weigh-in videos. If you like the underdog, betting early usually gets a better price.
