At the risk of getting the thread locked for conspiracy theories, is Ed playing the heal for the cameras? It looked staged with cameras recording him arriving and multiple angles inside set above all the people holding them back. Also lots of Eddie's camp appearing in Thors gym to keep them apart. In the context of covid, I'm surprised gobbing into a room full of people hasn't attracted the cops attention. | ||

Thor said he was given 5 mins warning too. But I’d imagine the spitting was improv | ||

Play acting or not spitting goes way over the line for me. Particularly hypocritical from a guy who whined like a b**ch about Larry Wheels being unprofessional when he joked about Thor killing him. The boxing match doesn't actually matter. Ed has came out of this badly and i think he'll struggle for much work after it's all said and done. | ||

I was somewhat entertained by Eddie before, but was a bit apathetic. After this comment, I now know which side of the Eddie Hall fence I sit on, no matter what the outcome of the fight is. Big Payday for both entertainers. | ||

 Member 4416, 1370 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq | I wish Eddie had stuck with Strongman. Even away from full time events strongman, he seemed to be a part of the new YouTube foundation. He, alongside Shaw, Best and Oberst were paving a new kind of entertainment for guys to get some exposure and build a £ platform. God only knows that actually getting a financial return on diminishing your long term health, is long overdue. I find his channel borderline narcissistic now, as much as anything I think, coming about on the back of this whole boxing bout preperation. What happens after this, especially so if he loses? He isn't going to be a combat athlete. He likely isn't going to be a strongman again. | ||

He likely isn't going to be a strongman again. He said he had another fight in June on Lozs channels coverage of the prefight press conference. Also asked Thor for a rematch. Thor said yes, and that it's in the original contract. | ||

Apparently he lost alot of weight from having covid 3 weeks ago. I can't confirm this is the truth. Just what Eddie said. | ||

I think this is the difference between spending every waking hour for 2 years focused on boxing related training as opposed to acting like you were still a strongman for 22 months, before finally trying to cram a load of training in at the last minute | ||
