Good for Vallilyon getting the pay day, but imagining Thors ringcraft in the ring with an Olympic Medalist is embarrassing for the sport. Alex Simon, pulled out due to thorn bicep. At least that was a proper freaks of strength fight. | ||

At least that was a proper freaks of strength fight. Vallily medalled at the Commonwealth but still a great achievement. It isn't an embarassment to the sport. He isn't a professional boxer. It is exhibition. If they gave Thor a professional license, then it would be ridiculous. | ||

 woefully weak Member 4748, 1506 posts SQ 157, BP 133, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Is it just me or did Thor look like complete crap the other night? I’ve long thought Thor seems to be taking a much better approach to prep than Eddie and obviously he has some natural advantages but beginning to wonder if he just doesn’t have the personality for it. Maybe Eddie will smash him after all. | ||

I think any decent professional athlete would make both Eddie and Thor look crap in any sport, just like they'd both make other athletes look weak in all but a few exceptions. One thing I do know, from what I've seen, is that Thor is still going about his training in the right way whereas Eddie just seems to be f**king about beating his mate Paddy up. Obviously, we've no idea what's going on behind the camera's but my money is on Thor. | ||

 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Thors prep IS smarter, but in my experience with two novices, aggression often over rides that level of skill. | ||

WUS events are out for the day before the fight at the same venue. 180kg log for reps (Iron Bibby did 5 last time) 450kg Yoke for distance over 60 seconds 180kg farmers for 30m Mystery event The 10 stone atlas run up to 200kg Arnold's is no longer the hardest show... | ||
