Boxing

I haven't watched any of the footage, but I can't believe how much hype this is getting. The guy was a world champion, obviously he's pretty decent at boxing. I'm sure Maradona is still pretty good at whacking in free kicks and could put a compilation of him completing skills and set pieces in training... because he was a top footballer. Doesn't mean that Barcelona should be rushing to re-sign him as a 60 year old.

Does it take much physical conditioning to lash in a freekick though?

What do you guys think about Eddie Hall vs Hapfthor Bjornsson next year?

Have you never heard of either?

They're strongmen. Both have won World's Strongest Man. Both have deadlifted 500kg. Both are insanely strong.

Both are probably terrible at boxing. Thing is they'll both be slow on their feet so there's more chsnce of them catching each other.

What do you think their actual punching power would be like? They are literally some of the strongest people that have ever lived but I'm not sure how that translates to punching power?

[Shaggy]

Never heard of either. I've heard of Geoff Capes and Jon Pal Sigmarsson though.

They're having a licenced bout? Surely not ffs.

[Darth Marty]

As far as I am aware they tweeted each other and with some historic needle both have agreed to a boxing match, but agreed in tweets only.

Hapthor is The Mountain in GOT.

It would be car crash TV, neither could waddle for 10 minutes, let alone 36.

Isn't Jon Pal Sigmarsson dead?

Not that that was the point you were making

Yep steroids I think.

That strongman stuff is for kids imo. Loved it when I was like 8.

Yeah, was always on after Christmas had turned to **** and you were waiting to go back to school in the New Year.

Was essentially a competition to see who was managing their steroid dose the best.

Eddie Hall is quite funny. The YouTube where he swaps diets with his wife for the day is nuts.
No idea how hard he punches but you’d be ****ed in a clinch.

Saw him trying to hit golf shots on Rick Shiels YouTube channel, I actually felt embarrassed for him. It was atrocious. Assuming his coordination (or dearth thereof) transferred into boxing, I can't imagine him punching well. Rule of thumb guys with lots of muscle mass like that punch in slow motion too, kills their handspeed.

[fidget]

By ****ed in a clinch I mean he'd bear hug you to death
One of my mates slimmed down from 18 stone of muscle to a lean 14 stone and hit harder at the lighter weight. Plus he could actually last a round without having to stop for a rest.
