It's understandable for emotions coming into play leading up to and immediately after an event involving such powerhouses such as yourself. It speaks volumes for you both to see the respect between you two now that the smoke has cleared from all of this. Immense respect and admiration has been earned for both of you because of it. This to me proves how it was all just emotions interfering and that at the end of the day you are both champions in and outside of events. I personally don't see how either of you can log a loss for any placing you achieve at any of your events. Even if not in "1st" place you are still accomplishing more than the majority of the population on earth would in your competitions. That is a win all day long! You also didn't loose to Thor, you came in second to him in an event that no one else could have managed! Next time you'll make it his turn!

I watch you because you are a good man, that has a good heart, and is willing to work harder than everyone else to get what he wants in life. I don't look up to anyone in life, and have never wanted to meet a celebrity. You are the first and only celebrity i would want to approach and talk to in real life, because you are a good, understanding, and caring man.

This was so beautiful to hear from you man. I think the community was starting to worry about you, and your head space. It's SO hard to swallow the pride, especially with something one feels so passionately about, huge love to you for trying to move on from this emotionally. I'm super keen to see you get back in the ring against Thor with focus, and all that technique you've worked hard toward.

[@slackster999]

You’re a good man Eddie! Love your sense of humour and just follow your own advice and all will be good.

[@zeromoga]

Eddie, you're a big man in a lot of ways. You've been as viciously motivated about this as you are everything, and to see you admit the loss so humbly says a lot about you as a person. I know you'll never rest assured, but you've definitely left a hell of an imprint on history, and I fully expect that imprint will get deeper. Keep at it, Beast.

There are a lot of comments here and a lot of positivity. Eddie, this is exactly the kind of grace, humility and class the world needs to see right now. I have mad respect for you, and what you've been able to accomplish, and the example you're setting. Thank you, brother.

Did he have class when he bare asses thors chair? or cursed himout multiple times with his son next to him? or wrote obscene messages on gym blackboards? or spat at him? lol selective memory must be a blessing

@@openmike2941 The guy ate a big fat crow, and was gracious about it. Reread my commentary - "Grace, humility and class the world needs to see right now." Right. Now. If you employ natural deductive reasoning, you can easily extrapolate "forgiveness for the other shite leading up to now". It's not selective memory, it's moving forward and forgiveness, and those, my friend, are a blessing.

[@roadspectre7655]

After all said and done, i still applaud both of you. I was expecting slow movements and lots of hugging and gasping for air after 3rd round but no. Fighting, punches and footwork all the way to the last round. I would say much better than some pro heavyweight fights. My new respect for strongman athletes and especially for you two. Stay positive, strong and healthy, I would definitely watch if there is a rematch. Cheers man.

[@christiandad5920]

Just checked out your fight highlights mate. Great job mate...but I think your greatest achievement was this video showing how to live life and all its challenges.

Just remember everyone reading this God loves you no matter where you are in life or what shape your in. Happy Easter all.

[@ivokantarski6220]

At the end of the day it was a great show considering neither is legit boxer and titan weight thing damn. Also it wasnt a devastating defeat. Both fell and both were standing when the final bell rang. I was wondering why he had that body posture in few final rounds but nvm it ain't supposed to be orthodox way likes pros so whatever. UK channel to watch it on was collapsing tho damn it. Had to watch it on YT.

[@9tophat]

Eddie, I don't know if you personally read these, but I love seeing you back. When you became consumed with so much hard feelings, revenge and bitterness, it hurt to see you that way and hurting others along the way while you were in that. This is possibly the best video I've seen you do. For what it's worth, I eventually unsubscribed to your channel to avoid seeing you. Hearing such much from you that clearly was not who we know and love was too much for me. I'm so thankful you have returned to the Eddie I have respected and been inspired by. I have happily re-subscribed to your channel. It seems you have grown much, healed much, and come to understand how much you, the REAL you, mean to others around you. I'm so thankful for you and your journey as you take us with you. Welcome back. Onwards and Upwards, my friend. Cheers!👍😎

[@justaguyinasuitxx]

Wow this is amazing. Remember guys. This. ALL. happened. because the PUBLIC doesn’t understand how strict the JUDGES have to be to make things fair, with a little explanation it’s clear Eddie won in the worlds strongest man but sad that most ppl will never take the time to research in the first place they just read the title “lost by one point” and that’s it. You just have to not care about those people as well they probably don’t care about Thor EITHER and just are just trying to keep up with LOCAL NEWS they don’t give a shit about any of this lol So fuck em. Also fuck Thor for trying to manipulate the whole in his favour not giving a shit about how it might effect other people, just like the AMBER HEARD situation in my opinion, he KNEW most ppl don’t understand the technicalities like that and he could manipulate it to make it look like me might have won if he just kept sticking to what he was saying and make himself out to look like the VICTIM. because it was far too painful to accept the fact that he is the SECOND worlds strongest man in the most important finals of his life. The only one that clears all doubts. End of. Maybe Eddie would have given him a second chance the next year if he hadn’t been such a BITCH about it. Just shows it doesn’t help to act like a bitch. EVEN if you can successfully manipulate ppl in the process. Thor is LUCKY Eddie is such a nice guy and didn’t sue him for defamation like Johny did, this type of this has to stop otherwise people will think they can get away with it and keep doing it, people need to be made aware of it too ❤️ always face your losses. :) this makes a true champion

[@Holmesson]

@@justaguyinasuitxx Look, both Eddie and Hafþór are guilty of ridiculous behavior. Hafþór genuinely believed he was robbed at WSM, and I'm pretty sure you'd raise a stink if you thought you were cheated out of the title. Looking back, we know that's not the case, but sometimes shit is hard to let go for athletes competing at the level these monsters do. Take Eddie for instance... he showed his ass nonstop for over a year regarding this fight. He did and said things that made me question why I was a fan of his in the first place. But guess what? I don't judge people by their bad days... and gods know that Eddie and Hafþór have had plenty of those throughout the past couple years. Everybody screws up every now and then. I'm sure you do too. Both Eddie and Hafþór are both still heroes in my eyes. Furthermore, spamming comment sections with the same copied/pasted message wreaks of desperation for validation.

[@justaguyinasuitxx]

@@Holmesson no i just want to make sure people know this shit because theres a lot of missconception around what happened and theres not enough defense for eddie in my eyes, also point is if Thor was man enough he would have admitted his mistakes afterwards, like you said "its clear looking back its not the case now". Well then why doesnt he say sorry for what he did and move on, you shouldnt get away with that shit and he clearly just wanted to "move on" because he was in the wrong and didnt want to end it with class and acceptance, tarnishing Eddies name in the process which is why Eddie was "showing his ass" for so long as you put it. If you understood the situation clearly you wouldnt be saying that. Even though you still probably see it clearer than most people, im saying you maybe you shouldnt be so even spread on the situation, doesnt mean you have to hate either one. Thor is making it seem one way and still manipulating the situation a little bit to this day which is STILL is not right. But they have fought and punched each other in the face so that pre much wipes the slate clean which is best for them. Also I never said Thor wasnt an idol of mine either, i just think he was a bitch in this situation, second worlds strongest man is still great make no mistake, Eddie is just the first.

[@Holmesson]

@@justaguyinasuitxx Fair enough. Cheers 🍻

[@coolgamers2794]

Eddie insulting Hafthors mother before their first big brawl was pretty low. Eddie doesn't have respect for people outside of their own profession which is something that will lead to his down fall. Hafthor did have a big mouth and said a lot of trash talk; but those are all just bragging rights which Hafthor kept to on a professional level only. Hopefully Eddie learn self enlightenment just like how Bruce Lee says: "Be like water."

Eddie gotta learn severe self restraint. Even Mike Tyson had to hold a lot of mental anguish during both his career and personal life. Most boxers start losing concentration during a match once they get frustrated, angered, tired, scared, or is affected by any other emotional distress. Doing so can cost you getting knocked out in a boxing match. Eddie gotta learn to create *mental barriers* on keeping his cool and being the better man to not verbal assault any person beyond a reasonable means.

Its incredible how great this was. Teaching one's viewers how to lose gracefully, which is something crucial if we all ever want to succeed in life. There will never be a big payout if we don't risk having a big fail, and from what I've seen in this video, even in losing this match, you can always gain so much positivity from it. I am so happy to see you letting this feud go (not meaning you guys are friends now) and focusing on more positive things in the future. You said everything that needed to be said, and gave some great advice as well as behind the scenes look into what went on in your head these days. I am a big fan of moving on, we are all grown adults and we have better things to do and so much love and positivity to spread, we can't allow even a single drop of hatred in our hearts, for it is simply bogging us down. I am very proud of you, Eddie, and I am Team Beast even more now than before. Big love from Italy!
