Avatar Member 5517, 1538 posts SQ 160, BP 165, DL 201526.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Thor fighting Simon Vallilyon 28 May. 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. | ||

Maybe Eddie will smash him after all. I think it's always going to be difficult to look good against a seasoned pro. 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. | ||

See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | I don't think you can judge how someone fairs against a professional I've sparred with a trained boxer and I honestly couldn't land a punch, he was bobbing up and down back and forth and I had no chance Fighting is not boxing My money's on Thor still | ||

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... | ||
