The **BOXING** thread (Vol 4)

[The Road Crew]

Eddie looks about gassed....looking for that one big shot...

[CAH706]

Hall is complete garbage. God knows what he has been doing for the last 2 years but it wasn’tboxing training

[The Road Crew]

Thor looks the better for sure, he must be ahead so far..

Expected a lot more from Hall to be honest, unless he can find something in the last round....

[BabySharkDooDooDooDooDooDoo]

Both guys look shattered. If it goes to the end I’m pretty certain Hapthor has won

I think rounds 1&2 to Eddie
Rest to Hapthor

[The Road Crew]

4-2 to thor surely, that cannot be a draw.... Can it?

Who on earth was Hall training with?! He was terrible!

[CAH706]

Hall embarrassed himself tonight. Thor at least looked like a boxer and won easily.

Hall will struggle to live that down given his ego

Exactly what I was thinking.Had no defence at all,never kept his hands up.Probably thought he'd knock him out with 1 big swinger early doors

[BabySharkDooDooDooDooDooDoo]

Hall looked like a doorman giving boxing a go. Very disappointed in him.

[dalzo]

Thor defo looked like he had done more boxing, he was training at the hotel next to my house in the run up then Going to a boxing gym afterwards.

Entertaining because of the size and power of the two but wouldnt exactly call it boxing

[originals]

One is a boxer. One is brawler.

Thought he embarrassed himself at the press conference aswell by having his young son next to him.

Can't see Hall's ego living this one down.

Correct re: his son at the press conference. That was not great to watch

I kinda liked Hall before all this

but its obvious his ego was leading the training.

The delay definitely benefited Thor who actually learned to box to a rudimentary level.

[EddieSteadyGo]

And we need to give a h/t to Pugaris, who gave an accurate summary of how this would go down long before it occurred!

[The Road Crew]

Baffles me a bit about what he's done during the training camp... He looked as if he'd taken up boxing yesterday!

Thought Thor looked reasonable to be fair, good defence, used the advantage of his reach to keep working jabs

[TheJimi]

Moreover, there was a good few times there where Thor got Hall well on the back foot and didn't step in to follow through. No idea why he didn't.

Very chuffed Thor won, and deservedly so.

Spot on assessment. Eddie believed his own hype. Thor listened and learned.

[Its Just Adz]

That was embarrassing for Eddie.

I'm a big fan of his, strongman career anyway, but he's acted like a child all through this.

[bloomen]

I read about this ages ago and it sounded so puerile I couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

One positive is that both blokes have probably added many years to their lives by getting rid of the outrageous bulk.

Then again maybe Eddie Hall will vow to beat that lift record and this time his head will take off from his body like a firework.
