That seems like a pretty experienced mfer to fight for The Mountain.

Thats a big difference in size doe.

344 pounds? Sure that ain't Big Baby masquerading as an Icelander?

[SN!PER]

Ward would have to carry Lomachenko on his shoulders to equal the weight of this monster.

This guy must've lost a bet to get in the ring with this giant or he knows something we don't know.... Either one is A fact.

Yes that's him. I am almost certain he has helped him prepare for Eddie and this may be pay to watch sparring though.

Yeah but 28% KO rate, been knocked out against the only opponent with a semi-decent record. His other wins have records like 0-27, 20-71, 2-13, 1-4.

He is not only smaller, but weak and resume full of fluff. The Mountain can probably bully him around with sheer size. I think it’s actually not fair at all. Fans and journalists disregard weight at HW but I think weight matters at every weight class. This is too much. It’s like Tyson Fury vs Carl Froch or something ****** like that. HW having no limit makes fans and journalists disregard weight disparity.

Weight matters, but idk about it mattering THAT much in the boxing ring vs a guy who for sure won't be a good fighter in his first fight vs a guy with a good winning dozen fight plus pro record even if his record is manufactured overall.

I'll take the boxer with a manufactured pro record over the guy who's not a boxer without a record, pro or amateur, every day of the week.

Actually looking at an article just now it seems like they haven't done any work together. It does sound like Steven has seen Hafthor spar & move around in the gym, but thats about it.

It does sound like they were trying to do some sparring, but the sparring turned into this exhibition it appears.

Weird ass fight.
