    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.
    Interesting, thanks. Deffo weird fight. It's like some WWE kinda difference Big Show Mayweather mode. The thought of Thor and Eddie was weird enough.

      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.
      If Jake Paul knocked out 9 more Nate Robinsons, then fought Khalil Mack in his pro debut, who do you think would win?

        Who is Khalil Mack?

        Edit: nm see he's some nfl guy.

        I'd take the guy who's spent 2yrs training boxing & has about a dozen fights at that stage.

        I agree size matters, but skills & experience matter too. It's like you are suggesting if you take a 7ft guy outta some native tribe & throw him a basketball he's suddenly beating experienced & skilled guys on day 1 in 1 on 1 games.

          You're unwilling to admit that Jake Paul (with all his pseudo-boxing training for 2 years) would face a different animal against Khalil Mack (6'3", 235 lbs, NFL linebacker) than he did vs. the two YouTube trolls and Nate Robinson?

                I didn't say it ain't a different animal. Fighting a 180lb guy who's never fought is different than fighting a 235lb guy that's never fought. But just like size matters, knowing how to box matters too & I'd argue it matters more often times.

                Like I said idk who tf this guy is so maybe he fought as a kid or something or he's been training for 2x as much & he just hasn't turn pro yet. But barring any news like that I'll take the guy who trains & has fought over the guy who looks like a superhero but knows fook all about fighting.

                  I reckon the Mountain's boxing ability will be somewhere between Valuev and Butterbean.
