I felt bad for Devon, he had no idea what he was doing in there, mind you neither did the other guy, but he was better conditioned and more confident.

Both are cool guys. If everyone made money then why not. There’s also a sideshow side of prize fighting. Thor was amazingly lean. Lost over hundred pounds since he broke the deadlift record. He had a huge belly when he broke the record now it’s svelt as can be. That’s the heart of an athlete. He can apply himself to achieve goals. If one is gaining weight or losing weight he does both as well. I think he is great motivation for anyone. I bet most people never thought he could get as lean as he could. But he has goals and he works towards them. Larrat is a stud too. Check his enlistment record. He’s a positive and fun guy too. One of the best arm wrestlers in history which is no joke. I like both guys, but yeah did it need to happen? Not at all, but if it made money then these things always will happen. That’s prize fighting. The highest paid athlete is always the best boxer in the world ( especially per time on screen ) so imagine that trickle down? That’s why there’s fights like these.

the boxing commissions are sanctioning these circus fights and sanctioning them either as real fights or as exhibitions. and they are marketed as boxing.

Someone is goign to get seriously injured or killed. Then every tom **** and harry politician is going to pounce on it to make a name for themselves and put out regulations that affect real boxing.

they should call it something else, it should not be called boxing, it needs to be kept separate.
