Hafthor Bjornsson vs. Steven Ward | Exhibition - 16 January 2021

[Wee Tommy]

I’ve lost a bit of respect for Eddie during this ‘prep’ for their so called fight.

He’s on his you tube hitting little gymnasts and proclaiming himself to be the hardest puncher in the world. He’s prancing about like mayweather and looks like a total tit while doing so.

I hope Thor knocks him clean out. He’s a great athlete Eddie, one of the strongest most determined guys who has ever lived but his ego is going to be his undoing in this.

eddie seems to be training purely for fitness and is obsessed with heartrate, Thor at least seems to value the fundamentals and has humbled himself. its ego vs brains basically.

Eddies training team are very sycophantic.

saying that, eddie is obv by far the superior athlete so he could just steamroll the big guy.

What I notice is Eddie’s training as if he’s made his own version of boxing up, doing everything wrong, chin high, hands low, bobbing about like a total idiot and Thor, fighting like a novice amateur, slowly learning how to jab and move off, one twos, blocking with a tight guard.

Who is that 19 year old kid who has been helping Eddie Hall. Sure I read that Hall has starting paying him a wage to help him get started in boxing. He dwarfs Eddie Hall and looks about 7ft unless it was a bad camera angle.

thor to his credit looked 1000x better vs ward than he did in the sparring vs the rando guy in headgear that was posted before. agree that he looks like a novice amateur who though obviously not very good is still learning the right way and actually developing fundementals and fighting at range with the jab and right. i could picture him winning a fight at a club show for example..

prob beats eddie......the stuff about eddie being an amazing athlete etc is true for certain athletic endeavors ....,but have you seen him box?
