Wow...Bas is an excellent trainer.

[@nmaresch579]

Agreed, but the higher pitch noises being quicker.. all I heard later were low pitch grunts. Great trainer, great student but how much was retained?

[@CraigNiel]

Is it just me or has 5 minutes with Bas improved him massively? He needs to get Bas to train him full time!

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

@1Yan00 Fuck the speed, he went from throwing with his arms to throwing with his body. Speed can be built in a matter of days. Sometimes it's literally just a click. Technique needs drilling, and it was improving massively with Bas.

[@paulwonderley538]

I was thinking the same that's just the bas effect haha

[@qnst406]

@@TheStraightestWhitest u throw from ur shoulders not from ur arms....

[@tcmx712]

@@qnst406 he was punching like it was a close grip press or tricep extension so yes he was throwing the punches with his arms now he's throwing with his body like he should be. Throwing a punch through your shoulders is about as efficient as throwing with just your arms there is a time for that but it's not what should be focused on

[@bentmercer]

I agree, he improved very quickly with Bas. Imaging Thor after a year of daily training with Bas, would be scary.

[@BigDoener]

Damn, he should get Bas Rutten as a full time trainer. The increase in speed with just this little sound cue was crazy. I feel like he has the experience Thor needs to become a champ

[@astwas]

4:35, this guy with just a few pointers made Thor x3 faster with his punches 😨

[@soorajj9207]

Thor has the power. Need to learn how to utilise it.

[@wolololer]

not only faster, hes using a much better tecnique, more speed, more power more acuracy and better stance overall. his other coach is just a pad guy, you can even see hes also a good water guy 7:37

[@duckspeaker2702]

The surprised look on Bas' face when he barely dodges Thor's crazy reach made me lol

[@geekatron7966]

Remember Thor, the tips and advice you got from Bas Rutten is woth in your weight in gold. He is a Dutch legend and a man among men. Keep it up.

[@VinCent-vk6wc]

Watching him at 5:46 just right after Bas gave him some insights, Thor's punches looks more accurate, he really improved. He needs more training like this from professional fighters.

[@greenproject6287]

Very clever. Try get more training with Bas. I know it is difficult but he is a legend

[@spuds7677]

When this fight was announced, I was watching Bas on the JRE and I said to my GF, Bas needs to be working with The Mountain for this fight. I think the knowledge that Bas has would help Thor speed up training and make the correct game plan to take down anyone standing in Thor's way. Already Thor looks faster and learning some tricks in one training session. Bas, if you read these comments, Watched you fight a lot. Big fan here! Teach him well, like we all know you can...

[@yutmanrodreg3253]

4:33 it’s little snippets like this that show Thor is NOT slow. He’s just working on technique and not showing any of his speed work.

[@PozzaPizz]

Bas almost died there

[@ddww992]

He is painfully slow.

[@jtaco4101]

He is super slow, so is eddie tho.

[@PozzaPizz]

@@jtaco4101 well obviously somebody that huge is going to be slow, nobody's expecting them to be Ryan Garcias. Derp

[@ddww992]

@@jtaco4101 next to Thor Eddie looks like Boom Boom Mancini.

[@IvanM272]

Thor improved a lot. I think Eddie is trying to put a lot of speed and power without having a solid technique. You can see the difference in Thor’s power with just showing him how to torque his body and use his shoulder. If he learns how to replicate those straight hands and use that on his jab, it’s enough to beat Eddie without much trouble.

[@Nspeedtheone]

Daaaaamn Thor. Bas improved your speed and technique in 5 min. 🤯 Do more training with him and you will kill Eddie

[@jcofthecorn745]

See I'm rooting for Thor in the fight. And seeing how fast he picks up stuff when Bas is training him makes me really happy.

[@lulurobot2065]

I like how Thor is all ears no ego when learning, much respect ✊🏻

[@fanfeck2844]

Old Bas has still got incredible speed

[@darthsynchronic]

Why we like this session is that Thor puts his pride aside and focuses on proper technique...I truly believe Thor got this...

[@mrholiday13]

yeah - obviously Eddie is an elite athlete...but he's absolutely gonna gas out. he wants it too much.

[@weegaz22]

​@@mrholiday13 Eddie's got pretty good endurance for a guy his size, look at when him and Ross Edgley did the Navy Seal fitness test, Thor also has to make it through those first initial rounds when EH is blasting him with everything.

[@cypress0ne]

Bas Rutten enters the picture and everything changes for me. Such a huge fan and it's so awesome to see him working with Thor. If only he stayed around and trained Thor for say, six months, he would be so much different than his current technique and Bas would hammer the hell out of him stamina wise.

[@WorldsStrongestFan]

Looking better! Now you just need a special move “Thor’s Hammer”😜👊🏼

[@CodyBunker]

Everyone was worried about Thor's speed. No need to worry any longer.

[@plamendamyanov1499]

Simply amazing. Great job done, that's what I want to see. Keep it going Hafthor!!!!!!!

[@dand5990]

Thor, if you go at that dynamic and speed Bas taught you, plus your range advantage and using some footwork, you're gonna smash Eddie into pieces.

[@JoelHMcCarter]

Bas Rutten is legendary. Seeing Thor load up on those was scary. Great vid!

[@sofishticated289]

Too me the training and the movement of Bas Rutten really look like a professional fighter is teaching Thor how to fight, instead of his regular trainer who reminds me of a slow ballet teacher who tries to suggest Thor with thousand beautifull words that he will win anyway.

[@stuart4860]

one of the best ever videos, Baz is the man, finally good to see Thor doing some speed work, just start rotating those hips.....

[@goldilox811]

DANGITY DANGITY DANG, my literal favorite mma hero, second to none, teaching thor is so cool. Very cool

[@PlasmaFuzer]

Bas, the legend! Awesome collab, and shout out to Bas. Been following him for a long time, and, for anyone who hasn't taken an hour or two and watched his Pancrase fights (most are online), I would highly recommend. Btw a lot of commenters a few months ago were making fun of how slow you were. Dumb. 18 months for a professional athlete to trim down and speed up? Easy work. Skills are improving massively too. It's gonna be a great fight!

[@luka188]

This was a master class. That trick bas showed by crossing his arms over his chest and rotating his shoulders to build up power and speed, actually crazy. That's some amazing stuff.

[@SmallFry01]

Awesome to see Hafthor with the absolute LEGEND Bas Rutten! He should start training with him full time

[@rumblepac6823]

[@danielpryde7548]

Thor's reach and size will be the biggest factor for Eddie to over come. I'm very excited to watch these two massive guys go at it in the ring.

[@truambar]

Bas is certainly doing the right thing there. A strongman is programmed to use its brute strength with every move, but in combat sports is speed and fluidity what translates into power. You can see the speed improvements after one session. All that just by changing the mindset. Good work!

[@KapnKuTT]

How can people be drilling and talking; if there is Bas Rutten in the Room teaching Hafthor. Blows my mind.

[@TF-mn1wo]

As stated by others eddie is fake, he poses and does anything for camera, sucks in his belly for pictures and edits his videos to the max to look tough. Meanwhile he hasnt actually fought anyone apart from his mate paddy and his technique is absolute rubbish lol thor is so far beyond eddie at this point, dont believe the trash on his videos you guys are better than that lol theres a reason thor has 10 major strongman titles and eddie only has 1

[@programclu1]

Absolute bullshit I'm not even against Thor but Eddie look's much more advanced at this point.

[@Beardandbiceps]

Yes exactly ,Eddie only shows when he is throwing wild punches with zero technique just to try to look good to people who never trained martial arts. If you've trained boxing or any martial art you will notice that Eddie has no idea how to use any technique.

[@Story_Teller_Everyone]

I miss bas fights, amazing fighter.

[@turnerkevin3]

Awesome video love watching Bas and you’re getting very sharp Thor 😎😎👍👍

[@sulaimankaka8423]

Eddie's still too fat, heavy, and unbalanced in my opinion. He can swing hard but I don't think he'll be a great boxer. I admire the way Thor is really working hard for the upcoming fight but doesn't seem to make like it's the only fight ever the way Eddie is behaving. I believe a true champion can see further than just one fight. I support you fully Thor, knock Eddie out, I used to like the guy but it seems that this fight/vengeance is now his only flavor. BORING! Use your reach and fast footwork to keep his shots away from your body, hit him hard in the temples, jaw, and belly, I'm sure his own weight will force him to the ground and render him unable to get up. Best

[@mustang8206]

I'm starting to cheer for Thor over Eddie

[@Nirsterkur]

Agree with you! We believe in Hafthor... Eddie should not underestimate the HEART of the MAN who Deadlifted the Heaviest Weight in human history!

[@bulgaryan790]

Awesome Training Sesh here big man! Make sure to remember what the Vet taught you. I'm an amateur boxer myself and i'd say, (make sure to get some conditioning TRAINING with dedication.) Work your ass until you're puking. Just make sure you're not hitting around 195 bpm, especially with all that weight.

Thor, you’re looking leaner, meaner, and faster man. I’m not gonna lie, I have been following both you and Eddie and at first I thought you were never gonna catch up to his hand speed and aggression. But you already have. And I think you will probably win the match next year.

[@schwunsch]

Its really hard to get these combinations going in the beginning, but once you have them in your "muscle memory" its just like one motion. That the way to get really fast combinations. Bas is a great teacher! :)

[@TheWolvesCurse]
