It was actually 3 minute rounds I thought exhibition rounds were two but doesn’t change the logic applied . Much better than I thought it would be I think only because Thor was overly cautious not throwing the jabs needed to make a much easier fight . I’ll say Hall can take a punch and get up and continue fighting ,he was drilled in his corner and got up fast though another rookie mistake not taking the count even thought the bell rang would have back fired on him and fought on with two cuts over each eye though it eventually stopped . People complain about these fights but it’s just entertainment,I’d watch this again .

Yeah I agree, it was a good tussle!

I was in AC so I missed it but caught the fight afterwards from Devon Larratt's watch party on youtube. Was funny stuff watching from Devon's channel, but otherwise it was a good scrap. Hall came out bombing in rd1 and even rocked Thor into a standing 8 count. The punches that dropped Hall however looked heavy. I don't know how he got up from them.

Listen, I hate celebrity boxing but I do appreciate when at least 1 guy takes the sport serious and puts in the work. Thor has been putting in the work and mastering his rookie craft. He even knows it in a post fight interview where he said he might actually face a legit fighter soon if he wants to keep the journey going. All respect there.
