Just flicked through the highlights... cant belive they chose to fight at a pace that was sustainable. Neither were even sweaty at the end, what a farce eddie claims its personal, but is happy to cruize to a decision loss.

Very easy fight to score. They should find something else to compete at next, 'cause there won't be much call for a rematch.

I'd watch a darts match if they could both reach a reasonable level.

Hall was spent after 3 rounds whilst Thor was just doing enough to pick up the rounds and throw an occasional back hand.

Yeah, in fairness to Hall he did empty his tank, and was only able to see the end because Thor didn't know how to negate the threat from his any-minute-now stance.

Suicide sounds like a viable option for the people who watched that on a Saturday night.

Loser: Hey emallini, I watched the Bjornnson v Hall fight on Saturday night, what should I have done instead to be cool dude like you?

emallini: You should have led on your cum stained single bed in your undies, dusted the Monster Munch crumbs off your chest and perched your laptop there instead, started humming Ricky Martin's classic La Vida Loca, logged on to your favourite turn of the century era boxing message board and crafted a pithy remark about why watching Bjornnson v Hall is suicide worthy, all with a smug, sh1t-eating grin on your face.

Loser: Wow. You are awesome!

i enjoyed it well enough. for sure i'll take that over most of the prebought small hall 40-36s or total huge mismatches on bigger cards

you see something like babic-molina, two 'real' fighters, and you just know you're getting a quick flop

Hall got humbled, or most likely didn't. He was going to do all sorts in this fight and didn't deliver on 90% of it.

Thor trained and sparred properly. Hall had a bunch of yes men. It comes down to ego in these types of match ups.

I won £140 on Thor PTS so I'll top myself some other Saturday night if it's alright with you

Simon Vallily is a very good fighter. To even share the ring with him was good preparation.

Hall seems to have gone rather quiet. You couldn't shut him up last week.

Shame Thor never took him up on the 1m bet.

Thor is in no way a natural at boxing. But you have to admire the effort he’s put in. Nelson has taught him the fundamentals and you can see the hours he’s put in learning them.
High guard, jab, double jab and straight backhand.
You put him with any half-decent area-level heavyweight and he’s getting stopped badly early.
Hall’s arrogance and complete contrary approach was his undoing.

Hall is full of crap. Talked a big game but did nothing.

What do you reckon he got paid for that shatshow?

Vallili is at least area level. I can only think he was told to pull his punches.

Was a glorified spar.
Thor is atrocious at boxing but those basic basics he learned were enough to beat Hall… whose style, technique, game plan and execution was very questionable indeed.

I didn't think Thor was that bad for a novice with no boxing background. At least he tried to respect the fundamentals.

Hall was a bit of an oaf though he looked like he hadn't done any boxing training and thought he could just swing for the fences. The right man definitely won.

Tbh for the first 4 minutes Thor looked vulnerable to being a highlight reel.
I’m surprised how quickly Hall gassed as he used to be a swimmer so you’d think they’d be some kind of natural engine there.
There wasn’t and there obviously wasn’t any serious training being done apart from throwing big looping rights at his 50% less bodyweight ‘friends’.
Hall’s a cock and he’s just shown himself right up.

Wish I had seen some of these odds others did. I tried to put 300 on Thor at hills. Was 2/1 when I added to my betslip but then dropped to 15/8. Okayed that but it knocked back the 300 and only offered me 133.33. so still won some money but not as much as I would've.
