Comments Thread For: 'Game of Thrones' Star, Hafthor Bjornsson Calls Out Strongman Rival Eddie Hall To Boxing Match

[Chuckguy]

No technique no stamina the only cool thing would to see one of them big boys get ko’d

Wow theyre horrible but its not surprising its not their sport. A journeyman middleweight would toy with both of them. A guy like rosado for example.

For sure, MOVEMENT and counter punches straight down the middle would light both them guys up. Boxing is a combat sport which sometimes negates size, due to forcing everyone to strike 'Grappling in some ways truly is a attempt to escape fighting/striking, although yes it is very effective at doing so'.

It is pretty much game over if those strongmen get a hold of you, even if you was a expert in Jujitsu or Olympic styled wrestling. I did karate as a kid for many years, but I have always stated that? Jujitsu or wrestling becomes very ineffective if your opponents strength levels is just too great 'You have all these MMA experts making you believe the opposite'.

Cult like believe system in MMA.

Definitely disagree on that. Strength plays a huge part in wrestling/grappling but so does technique and cardio. An Olympic wrestler above 150lbs or so wouldn't get pinned by these guys. You got any idea how strong those SOBs are? and wrestling strength is sometimes a little different to weightlifting strength.

A 150 pound Olympic wrestler is not taking down Eddie Hall.

Strongmen are not power lifters, have you seen the variation in events that they have to master? When it comes to grappling even though the technique may be off, I think they have a lot of transferable strength. These guys are pulling planes, holding up giant pillars a test of grip strength and stamina, hurling giant stones up off the floor onto platforms 'That kind of power and strength does not care about your black belt in Jujitsu, or whether you are a 150 pound Olympic wrestler'.

After a certain part it all becomes ineffective.

Note: Strongmen competitors are not straight up weightlifters.

This guy is horrible. I would gladly cut down to my old fight weight ( 141 ) and fight this mountain guy . GLADLY and that isn't saying much I haven't fought since Feb 2008 . And I would confidently bet on myself. This is a complete circus act. Worse than that Paul ksi bull**** .any decent amateur would slaughter this man . Like wtf. So many good amateurs deserve some exposure on boxing scene before this man .

I'm his hometown of...... Iceland. Very good.

I'm not into watching none trained, none proper registered boxers trying to box although the Entertainment value of these two would be off the scale. I could see after 3 rounds of prancing trying to swing away they both just think f. It and tuck into a couple of cows..

In a street fight you'd have to knock this guy out very quickly and hope he doesn't get up and grab ahold of you. He'd squeeze your ribs until they cracked and then suplex you headfirst into the asphalt.

If it's really in the street then there's nothing stopping you from hitting him across the mouth with a blunt object and knocking his teeth out.

Or perhaps stabbing and cutting him with a sharp object.
