[@shable1436]

Are you going to be brutally honest or be PC about it

[@softpianomusic7773]

for the ppl who dont watch boxing, this is a SPAR not a match. When you spar against somebody whos not as good as you, you let them work as well because they are learning. So very rearly you see the better fighter go all out in sparring (unless they get heated). Plus viddal tried to emulate thor a little bit by staying southpaw the whole spar. so stop saying "eDDie dID BeTtER aGAinSt vIDdal" when he didnt, landed like 4 solid shots the whole spar and viddal only threw 1-3 shots at a time.

Exactly, when I got my cousin to spar with me because he just started training that’s what I did, let him get a few shots, I never threw very hard shots, I caught him with counters but it was just to show him when he’s open for shots and how to tighten up his guard

100% true Geordie was spot on with his take on it

[@derekhalford187]

This is exactly how EH fought against Thor. His coach never once told EH to keep his right hand up to guard his face during this sparring session. EH had no real technique, just brute force and forgot to keep moving/dancing around the ring. It's no wonder Thor won. Viddal was being kind to EH and was just helping with his training. Maybe a better coach would've changed EH's outcome.

[@shrimpman8422]

To be honest, you can lead a horse to water but it doesnt mean the horse will drink it.. eddie is a perfect example of that, his ego is a giant barricade for any knowledge given from his teacher.. that is why he failed.

[@Tevatron044]

100% agree that eddie did not progress at all since September. If him and thor would've fought in September, eddie would've won, but thor developed a terrific boxing catalog whereas eddie stuck to the Philly shell and never progressed. That's 100% on his coach. Eddie had terrific conditioning and great reaction time, but his techniques were 1 dimensional. As soon as thor adapted, the whole fight changed

[@tamzy4825]

Mustafa...???teacher. Or yes man...£££theres a big difference.... RESPECT

[@austinsavage]

@@Tevatron044 Thor didnt need much adapting. He just took time to get used to Eddie s power, stuck to solid fundamentals and slowly outworked Eddie with his reach. Eddie on the other hand got too cocky with his right and had no nothing else in his tool kit. Once the right was figured out it was Thor all the way

[@cedric7751]

Wait a second, that entire video proves that Eddie's fighting style doesn't work at all but he still went for it against Thor? This is a spar, Viddal went super easy on him but still landed pretty much every punch he threw at Eddie while Eddie barely managed to land anything. Not only that but Viddal fought southpaw to emulate Thor despite not being a natural one.

From watching the fight and this sparring you can clearly see there is a problem with his left arm. He doesnt throw it an at one time in the footage 5:25 you can see he throws it and shakes it off in discomfort. I think the torn bicep was a bigger problem than he made out. He fought the fight with 1 arm and i have great respect for him and his a hero for doing so. However you need 2 arms to fight and for that reason i think it's best for him to step away from boxing and do something else.

I know but it's harder for someone with that weight unless u work on your cardio and stamina

[@VALIANTTHOR383]

It’s very simple Eddie has no fundamentals, you’d imagine the basics of holding your hands up would be the first technique drummed into him to the point that it’s automatic. A flaw due possibly to size and cockiness but against any opponent it’s crazy but against a man with such a reach and height advantage it’s madness. Knowing he was fighting Thor why did he not work the inside constantly and why change stances and whilst in the pockets each time! (Experience 10 years junior championships etc);

[@robbiemedica2652]

3:22 something about this just mesmerizes me

[@DTProtoss]

i think everyones pointed out after watching the fight with Thor that Eddie didnt keep his hands up and was major in him losing, apart from his lack of technique... I fully agree but I had thought that maybe he did that cause he thought he was faster, but after seeing this video, like wtf was he thinking? He got massacred in the face so many times during this spar, you would think you would learn your lesson... I just dont get what Eddies thinking process was. I dont want to take anything away from Viddal who is clearly very good, and Thor who clearly worked very very hard on boxing and not just on punching hard. I feel with Eddies speed, he shouldve been able to do a lot more with Thor if he had only learned boxing instead of schoolyard fighting, idk... just me?

[@Jonse70]

I think your spot on. Thor's jab is so heavy being 61 kg heavier than Viddal, and looking at the Thor vs Eddie fight again, it's clear as day how much those jabs hurt and tire him, even if they lacked that all important "snap"

[@Alexander.Berglund]

I'm not knowledgeable on boxing per se. But I think Eddie looked more speedy and athletic (at least before gassing), dodging and moving in ways I'm not sure Thor even could if he had to. So it's not just you, feels like Eddie did not live up to potential here. Before watching this spar Eddies style seemed like spontaneous disregard of technique, going for the knockout. Now it simply looks like bad game plan. Generally, I find that one of the best offensive qualities is the ability to vary attacks such that defenders have to deal with multiple credible threats simultaneously. Maybe working the body and jabbing more, throwing some uppercuts, combos etc. would stop the opponent from single-mindedly avoiding the high hook, so that it can actually land better when it is eventually thrown. Or was Thor just to big for Eddie?

[@IvanM272]

@@Alexander.Berglund what this spar shows, the spar he had years ago and got jabbed showed, the charity match showed that Eddie gets pretty uncomfortable when he gets hit, to the point of even bending his body and turning his head away. I’m afraid he can’t fight, he can sure punch but is unable to fight because he will have an adrenaline dump eveytime gets clipped. He also can’t keep his hand up because he is simple too big, his arms are too big and he has a disproportional body. He can’t fight looking like a turtle that feels uncomfortable while getting hit, that’s why he adopted that Quasimodo stance. He also asked the other boxer on that old footage to end the sparring , because he was getting jabbed. There is nothing that Eddie can correct that can change that, I remember seeing Thor first sparring session on his channel and he got a bleeding noose and kept walking foward. That day I said that if he managed how to throw punches better that he would beat Eddie, this “legendary power” people were hyping him were more hard slaps than anything and I said Thor was going to win because Thor could take his punches and Eddie wouldn’t take Thor’s. You can’t fight someone when you can’t take punches, unless you drop them without getting hit.

[@Pulsonar]

Eddie’s jabs are crap, and he windmill’s all his haymakers he should try world championship farming instead. Why the is he not wearing head gear and why is he breathing through his mouth?? A well placed cross or hook could break his jaw, he does so many things wrong It’s unbelievable that he spent over 2 years training and all we see here is cockiness. It was no wonder he got trounced by Thor on fight night.

[@martyrofgrenth2136]

I feel like maybe he just didn't think Thor would be able to hit him like Viddal did. Maybe sort of like "ok Viddal got me because he knows what he's doing and Thor doesn't", but Thor obviously worked a lot on technique and all that. I also have a feeling that if Eddie ever had a fight in his life it was when he was much younger, when he got into strongman and became huge I really doubt if people tried to mess with him.

I think Eddie being from stoke has made a massive effect on his technique, he’s always been a big guy so when he’s been in fights he’s probs been used to just firming the punches, hence why his hands are down and he doesn’t move around a lot. Just my take lmk ur thoughts?

2:08 calm the power down bud, then proceeds to throw a massive right hook. So glad he lost the fight against Thor! What a tit.

[@DannyHodge95]

Genuine question Viddal, how hard were the punches? I'm curious how well strongman strength transfers to punch power, compared to the speed and technique of punches.

[@ticker2687]

It’s the mass sheer amount of mass 😂 fuck that

[@MrTVx99]

If you don't have good technique, which Eddie didn't, our muscles are useless. They don't mean anything when you don't use them and anyway why would having so much muscle help with the power of a punch? The muscles required to punch are different to muscles required for Strongman, just like if it was armwrestling. Sure there is some carryover, but nowhere near as much as how some people seem to suggest, especially with poor technique. If anything, all that muscle would slow him down and make him more predictable.

[@Stale_Mahoney]

@@MrTVx99 to a certain extent, remember if a wimpy skinny ass arm hits you it can be explosive but if it does not carry any weight behind it it wont have the knockdown power. a big ass heavy arm even if it does not come fast it will keep pushing after it has connected

[@Mpc333k]

@@Stale_Mahoney Some of the hardest hitters in the world have skinny arms. GGG has naturally thin arms and smaller fists even beneath his weight class and still generated almost as much lb force as Cain Velasquez. The “weight” behind a punch does not come from the fist or the arm, it comes from the ground up, carried by your weight transference. The shoulder point is the last pitstop of acquiring power; the arm and fist are only there for guidance and accuracy/shot placement. The efficiency of your weight transfer depends mostly on your technique. The size of your arm matters very little relatively speaking, and it causes much more harm than good the longer the fight progresses.

[@lollypop9496]

Probably also the fact that the ring is much smaller than a legit boxing ring, so Eddie can stand center and not have to move much, so he can conserve his energy. It’s obvious his team cut corners, only training in his basement really held him back. Not sure who he was training with, but that low hand style was getting him caught over and over.
