    Just watching a few videos on Hall's channel.

    Well, it does seem like Thor Bjornsson has prepared better. I also think he may have the better conditioning and endurance. Even as a strong man, I don't think Hall excelled at endurance strength based events. But of course, strong man competitions have evolved into less of those type of events. That is why Hall as a strongman, may have been strong but other than that he was not in condition.

    The strongmen of the 90's and going back further were fitter than the strongmen of today. They may not have been as strong, in terms of maximum strength but? There strength endurance was superior.

    I will stay neutral on the fight. Whoever wins, wins.

      Yeah, I feel like Thor has every advantage except maybe heart/toughness. So if it goes late, I favor Eddie to win. Otherwise I see an early Thor KO.

        Quick reply, I added more.

        I think the fight may come down to endurance.

            Not really that interested in it, hence I had no idea they were finally fighting.

            that said, it seems Thor has been taking boxing quite seriously for a couple of years and by all accounts even changed his body shape a fair bit to be a bit more suited to boxing.

                I just noticed it yesterday when I was inundated with some content from Eddie's channel. He's a very entertaining guy, I have to give him that.

                  Not interested. Out of all possible fights at this level, the only one that interests me is Eddie Hills vs Big John Fury. The Great Nash would pay £100 for that. Nash out.

                    Thor has dedicated himself to improving skills and body for boxing. Hall seems like he wants to keep one foot in strongman, not willing to sacrifice his strength. He also hasn't had a proper coach and training for boxing. This should be easy work for Thor.
