#VIDDAL #EDDIEHALL
Reaction coming soon, I’ll be answering some of the questions in the comments. Thank you 🏆
was he unpredictable in the sparring match?
How does he's punches feel viddal
u fr just proved how many levels there actually is to this sport holy
Did eddie only have 1 working arm (in the fight and in training) give your honest opinion
Are you going to be brutally honest or be PC about it
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.
Also the ring was half the size here, so less room to keep the distance around the ring
Exactly this, nice to see someone knows what their talking about
bang on
I mean also bare in mind that Thor was bigger than Eddie unlike viddal which with viddal his confidence might have been higher
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
Viddal is insane, not only for stepping in the ring against someone that much heavier than him, but his sheer technical skill. It's mesmerising to watch
Have you ever watched any other boxers box before?
its a spar mate
He wasn’t gonna get hurt cause his boxing knowledge and technique has been drilled in since a kid.
@@24kkerrison35 Tf that gotta do with it you clown, technique insane regardless
@@Barnzy213 Against a powerlifter. Duh
Damn viddal is great sparring partner, took it slow, kept exposing the weaknesses and didn't go hard on them and he could've especially with combos this shows the difference between pro who took it light and novice who tried his best

nowhere near viddals
@@UmarooollllZndYT type up Kash Farooq, retired now but he has mesmerising boxing
Viddal knocks fatty out in 5 seconds if this was a real fight
@UmarooollllzndYT bro I e seen you copy-paste the same fuckin thing 5 times so far shutup!! Vidal is a future world champion we know
@@UmarooollllZndYT u copied comments how sad
6:39. The set up to the next shot is unreal. Faints sees Eddie duck to his left so faints again and follows up knowing where he’s going to be. Great video
thank you for sharing this
Probably wouldn't have clocked that without your heads up. Unreal like you say, literally lead him into that follow up shot
And then EH went cheeky the last seconds of that round saying "hit me, go on!, HIT ME" in his head..haha classic
Well if you don't keep your hands up it's bound to happen
I favor head movements more for the straights than perrying or blocking but hooks can also be thrown to get your head to move in the direction they want you to move in
A beautiful shot
Eddies speed is solid, just his reflexes weren’t on the same level as Vidal. When your dealing with someone of eddies or thors size every punch is like a push even when it doesn’t connect properly or is blocked. That’s why I think there were a few knockdowns in the fight. Probably 2 or three proper knockdowns in the fight.
The two REAL knockdowns were Hafthors. He connected well. On Eddie's chin & the other on Eddie's side of his head.
@@raymondluke92 wym eddie put down thor 1 good time
@@supdood3674 he caught thor square on and sent him into the ropes. He wasnt as hurt as he was in round 1.
@@rowanperry8545 ong det shit was crazy
@@supdood3674 ye
Notice how there's literally no input from eddies coach, genuinely think he was scared of eddie and telling him he was wrong
I was thinking the same thing. I was wtf why isn’t he telling him keep his hands up/ relax
From the first video I saw of lindon I was questioning him, why wouldn’t Eddie splash out on a top tier coach like a Ben Davidson for example. Eddie obviously hates Thor and it baffles me how he did everything right bar get someone more vocal and thorough Eddie had the attributes to win and the work ethic but his choice in coach was abysmal
sometimes my coach lets me spar with no help to make me think more
should have told not to have those damn arm down all the time. Throw the jab more as well.
100% true Geordie was spot on with his take on it
Eddie Hall is crazy fast for a guy his size. It's a shame his trainers didn't teach him any technique compared to Thor's. Must've just been taking his money
@Michael Myers Thor will stop Eddie if they fight again. Or a clean knockout. He was drilling uppercuts a lot in training, with more confidence he will land when Eddie ducks down & put him to sleep
I love how everyone just makes excuses and blames someone else (the trainers) when someone they like loses.
The trainers manage to train others just fine. Eddie is the problem not the trainers
@@languidquid Unless Eddie didn’t listen to his trainers. If they were ok with Eddie leaving his right arm down than I would be looking for another trainer. The proof is in his fight with Thor.
It’s always the trainers fault with you people. Maybe Eddie didn’t listen
This was a really good sparring session. Eddie was given some angles and movements to figure out, for a novice, which he is, he did great. End of the 4th round Eddie throws his first 1-2, nice speed, good shots too. Viddal is encouraging and helping Eddie learn and gain confidence, which is essential for novices.
Well done to both men.
And Eddie took all of that, and threw it out the window.
@@Justin-jg2hi kind of. Honestly, his fight with Thor resembled this, except he didn't have the confidence to punch as much against Thor.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 he had a pinchers chance and that’s it
@@Justin-jg2hi yeah, because he is a trash boxer.
Yes a spar pro has head gear on he doesn’t because he thinks he’s mike Tyson he has ego problem!
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.
completely agree with coach comment, an absolute disgrace. EH surrounded himself with yes men on the payroll. The emperors new clothes
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.
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
Mustafa...???teacher. Or yes man...£££theres a big difference.... RESPECT
@@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
6:35 the way vidal watches him dropping to his left twice and then counters with a right hook was lovely haha
What?
@@ibssawega7182 he’s talking about 5:35 just accidentally put the wrong minute 🤣
@@Kieranbellend07 nah around 6:35 he makes the read and the punch is at 6:41
Eddie was leaning like that against Thor, I was screaming uppercut! Thor threw 0 uppercuts. :( I bet if he landed one it would have finished Eddie.
Bully maguire bro wtf are you even talking about💀
No one can deny how strong and powerful Eddie is, but it seems like his coach didn't coach him. Unfortunately for Eddie he seemed to just have a bunch of yes men around him. With a different coaching team I'm sure he would have challenged Thor a lot more. In any case, I have huge respect for his unrivalled guts and determination.
sadly agreed. thor's coach is a lot better. even after the fight, he doesnt big up thor. says all he is an amatuer. very grounded.
Sadly agreed as well, kudos for eddie for going into the ring with a torn muscle though
he tore his left bicep. if he would have had both arms to use I think he would have knocked out Thor.
He had 1 arm
The bicep had recovered totally. Come on bruh
viddal is a orthodox fighter and he switched to southpaw through out the hall spar, very impressive.
“Keep the power down bud” followed by trying to take your head off with every shot 😂😂
When did he say that?
@@spreadwuvokay right at the start loool
He said " got a power hand then bud"
@@lukemcleod8165 I find it, he said keep that power down boy when Viddal cracks him with a two piece.
Viddal is sooo good. Everything he throws comes out so smoothly, and the footwork is beautiful
He’s not British title level.
@@lordfarquard9902 he’s definitely on his way tho
@@lordfarquard9902 yet.
what bruh @@lordfarquard9902
He's average at best.
love the content viddal keep up the grind world champ
World champ?
@@footballflag6866 He's destined for it, this was him going easy on Eddie if he wanted to he could've knocked Eddie out in the first round.
What a boss, I dunno if I can respect Viddal more at this point, wish for you to become a world champion and it's clear you have the skills for it, just keep WORKIN'!!!
ye beating a guy with no boxing experience sure proves that
@@mattwilliams1205 a fighter that’s way heavy than him*
@Lryce Viddal is miles above jake lol
@The PRBLM Child your name is literally the prblm child that tells me everything that needs to be said. Be original. And to answer your question, viddal had to take a break due to back injuries, and also until the mayweather promotions contract was up. Jake's a good boxer no doubt but imo viddal is one of the best prospects and most likely future champ at his weight class. Oh and another thing he's been boxing wayyyy longer than jake so the experience is also a factor. I'm just speaking hard facts mate I'm not just taking the piss.
@The PRBLM Child has jake fought a ranked boxer? Nope. Everyone on his resume has a combined record of 0-4. I'll give jake credit for the Woodley KO, but every other fight has been against literal tomato cans lol. Both him and viddal are prospects that are still very early in their careers so stop being ignorant lol it could go either way for both of them
I think Eddie looks like he did better is also because of the fact that the ring is small, which makes it easier for him to corner his opponent and hit them
Yeh idk why the ring is so small he didnt really do better tho
@@Owen-ne6pe yh it also makes it harder to dodge his punches aswell when there is that much space so when he fought with thor in a bigger ring he struggles to hit him
@@godspeed6980 he lost fair and square
It also made his punches look more devastating. I mean, they are. Eddie put up numbers close to Francis Ngannou on that one machine and he definitely hit harder than Thor last night, but not by much.
Thor just looks slow because he is massive, really massive, 150kg massive! F=m*a He packs a hell of a punch.
And his opponent is not 6’9 152kg
Did Eddie say ‘keep that power down bud’ before going on to swing like a nutcase about 15 seconds later?😂😂
Pretty sure he said keep the power down, then went after him like a wild man.
Bc Vidal is too much for him
He’s got an ego problem! Turn the power down but then swings bombs! He’s been watching to many Mike Tyson videos with no head guard on! He’s supposed to be a novice in training but no head gear!!bully boy beast!
sounded more like "You've got power there bud" and fist bumped him afterwrords? Or No?
@@Diabolical05 you right ceaser
Vidal was clearly letting Eddie work, my question to Vidal is, being on ground zero of eddies training camp, do you feel he was receiving adequate coaching in terms of correcting poor technique etc. I get the vibe eddie has a large ego and that dictated his training preparation. If I was eddie I'd have been bombarding you with questions after a spar looking feedback.
Around 7:12 when they’re talking buffalo is about to tell Eddie what his was waiting for and what he done to catch/parrry eddies punches and he is interrupted and spoken over. Don’t think Eddie and his team care about feedback, seems like he just cares about protecting his ego
Buffalo😂😂😂 my phone auto corrected “Vidal”
@@user-wv4pn3zh9l I mean you’re not wrong Vidal hits like a buffalo
I forgot how exciting it was watching you spar! You have so much speed and power, probably Eddie's most tough sparring partner! You went in on him 😆
I am so excited to see Viddal in the future. He is going to be something great. I am ready to be entertained.
doubt
@@prizma45 doubt is my number one motivator!
ive watched this 4 times now, nothing is more entertaining than watching fast beat slow. that suprise snap left hook Viddal does is very satisfying to watch.
Absolutely
Man, I don't watch your content alot but your skill is insane. I hope you go far brother.
It's clear here that Eddie doesn't deal with combination attacks very well, gets caught off guard by them. He can get away with it here due to the size difference and won't feel it as much. Thor on the other hand rocked him bad with them
Well done Viddal. Excellent speed and technique
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 think your spot on with this.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that, he will say otherwise because he doesn't want people to think he's making excuses.
hopefully he goes for the rematch, expected to see more from eddie
It could be because of the bicep, depending on the date of the video. I dont remember which bicep he tore tho so my theory could very well be wrong
Also noticed that
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.
Should have given eddie a beating so he can improve
yeah he doesn’t even have his hands up and throws the same jab and haymaker with the same arm the other hand doesn’t even move😂
@@kvfk8917 why would he give he a beating when its a spar lmao
@@redangrybird9849 kid
@@redangrybird9849 I guess you've never been in a boxing gym with somebody with an inflated ego?
They get humbled quick.
Eddie needed someone to not hold back and prove that his style doesn't work in boxing.
I come back every now and then to watch this sparring match, this is gonna get more viral as the years go by
Its interesting to see eddie strategy to keep his hands down for all these rounds and nobody points this out to him?
Trainer and everyone responsible for helping him did a poor job helping him unless eddie ego refused to listen and think he can do whatever he wants. Whatever the reason, eddie just embarrassed himself worldwide. Hopefully he actually learns the sport before trash talking so much.
i mean he is WAY heavier than viddal. Dont get me wrong im sure viddal can still knock him out. I just seem Eddie is boxing more offensive
Its a different defence strategy similar to Floyd Mayweather's hands not all defences are two hands up
@@kelbykun2466 tru but Eddie can’t adopt Floyd’s risky defense tactics just yet. Got sum learning to do before taking risks like he does uk
basically a lazier looking philly shell
Agreed
Mad respect bro! Them haters don't know how it feels to face a bigger guy in a boxing ring.
if viddal actually tried like it was a real match he would've spanked eddie's ass like the sunday bells from the church ringing in the morning:)
Haha Viddal wasn’t trying here notice how soon as he hurts Eddie he backs off…if Viddal tried this fight wouldn’t last one round Eddie literally blocks no punches
@@Stefano-qv6ro he would definitely batter him but let’s be real he wouldn’t knock him out he’s 158 kg probably heavier in this video too😂
@@adammacdomhnail2014 i never said he would ko eddie lol, anyway he'd leave with more bruises on his face than hair on his head
@Ádam Mac Domhnaíl GGG would knock out Eddie. Eddie sucks at blocking; he would get knocked out by a Middle Weight Boxer.
Mad that Vidal’s prominent stance is orthodox and he fought this whole entire spar in southpaw. Impressive stuff man
First time viddal actually lands on Eddie, Eddie asks him to bring the power down
And then trys to take his head off. 🤣🤣
Viddal's agility and response time is crazy, I see potential for a champion
Even here Eddie still adopting the "hands completely down" defense and just throwing overhand right
Viddal kept his distance tried to make Eddie pay for keeping his hands low down and being so open but Eddie didn't realise it at any point. Wonder who Eddie was talking about when he said that he beat some really good boxers 😂 man's stats were really just 100 power, 10 output and 0 defence 💀
he deserved a coach that could tell him to keep his hands up and put actual input and just help more in general
I just read a comment before on this video. Excuses are coming out now! Saying "Eddie only fighting with ONE ARM" because he torn his left bicep. I also remember Eddie saying...."He's fully recovered from his bicep tear." Eddie's Fanboys making excuses already. Its pathetic. Hafthor only BEAT Eddie because he only boxed with "one arm." Yeah! OK. 🥱
@@raymondluke92 Thor didn't really show any crazy power in any of his fights including the one against Eddie, I'm a Viddal fan not an Eddie one and only checked them out because Viddal's vids on them, they're both very amateur with Thor looking more technically sound while Eddie just seems off as if there's something wrong with him physically while boxing, I can't be the only one that see's this a bicep tear would make sense tbf.
@Kent Vigilante . "He seemed off??" He was giving it his best in the first two rounds, cocky as f**k. Hathor took everything Eddie threw at him, literally. Then Eddie's game plan went out the window because he ran out of ideas. That's when he started using his one trick wonder, his weird stance, and his overhead right, relying on one knock-out punch. He definitely didn't seem off. He was literally f**ked! Matt Rhodes does an excellent analysis of the fight much better than these "So-called Experts" in the comment section. I'm surprised he didn't have a bad back after being in that stance. "He seemed off." Yeah! Ok.
@@raymondluke92 eddies not the one making the excuses mate, hes took it like a man, the fans are allowed to make excuses. the ones to blame for this fight are the coaches eddie had
Viddal is such a scary fighter man... the slips and faints, are so on point, and this was just a spar, and he is probably trying to emulate Thor a little to give Eddie an opportunity to try his own combos against a faster opponent.
Viddal giving me Apollo creed vibes at 3:50
Eddie has surprising speed for his weight, and viddal's technique is damn on point with his strategies for fighting someone heavier than him. Both shows great sportsmanship and compliments each other with each strike. This is what sports all about
Eddie's coach never installed me with confidence that he wasnt teaching him how to box correctly, eddie always said there's things he's not showing but I never imagined he was going to fight with his hands down throwing from the bottom. Eddie has good feet, good speed and good power but the techniques he's been shown does him absolutely now favours untill he rectifies that there's no point in him boxing again.
Yeah didn't understand why his LEADING arm is always down. I though he was injured or it has another reason but it seems like he just trained like that. He can't protect his head in any way like that. I don't get it. He could have won the fight agaisnt thor if he didn't do that. I have never seen anyone do that. But to be honest i don't know many boxer and not much about boxing in general.
I'd imagine there were 2 reasons to fighting with his hands down. One was holding his hands in a high guard would sap his energy quicker and two he hoping that throwing his punches from outside Thors line of sight would mean he couldn't read the punches so well
@@MikeDelta32 you would have to be insanely fast for this strategy to work throwing from the positions eddie was, plus thier using huge 12oz gloves he should have been training to keep his hands up from the start regardless of it was tiring keeping his hands up.
@@beany1987 100% agree I just offering reasons why I think he didn't hold his hands up.
@@beany1987 Some hold their hands low in MMA (UFC) to great effect and do surprise the opposition due to the unconventional angles. In MMA it's used alongside kicks and takedowns etc, so I can only assume they've watched some MMA and thought it would translate.
Was crazy to see Eddie doing it though...
Am I the only one that wanted 5 more rounds of them sparing …that was some good work I didn’t want it to end🎇🎆🧨
Eddie "I can go 20 rounds"
Also Eddie: Pouring sweat and heavy mouth breathing at the start of the second round...
I know but it's harder for someone with that weight unless u work on your cardio and stamina
Anyone else realize Viddal was fighting southpaw the entire time when he’s a orthodox fighter!!! Viddal is such a beast
The whole ‘arms down’ thing with eddie was ridiculous, why did he do this in the match and in sparring? It makes no sense as his punches are having to travel further, more telegraphed, and he has no guard?
Simple, ignorance and narcissism. Thinking he knows better than anyone.
it might be due to the 6 inch height difference. a regular boxing stance would leave him exposed to jabs. I don't know boxing at all, but you'd expect his coach to know more than us.
Same reason he's not wearing head gear but the pro is. He thinks he knows and is better than everyone. Who the he'll spars without head gear. Completely unnecessary, all it says is that his ego is huge.
Maybe his head was too big to fit in the headgear at this point. Might fit now 😄
@@julianmuller766 no. Its still stuck up his ass. Not even Thor could get it out
honestly just mesmerising watching viddal's beautiful technique
That combination from Viddal at 6:25 sums up the whole spar, it was like play fighting with a child, little poke at end lol
Eddie was bamboozled
Eddie “power down bud”
Also Eddie swings that massive right hook
Been searching for this comment knew I heard it haha
Eddie: “Take the power down bud” (whilst proceeding to swing as hard as he can)
3:22 something about this just mesmerizes me
"Keep the power down boy" as he proceeds to throw bombs exclusively lol
Vidal shows a lot of talent! especially because Eddie is almost double his weight.
he was also fighting southpaw when hes right handed
@@SO_Livendirect damn
Just goes to show he would slump 50 year old Shannon briggs
@@ethancleaver1464 Possibly. Shannon has got the knowledge tho.
I bet that was like being in the ring with Hulk. Much respect 💪🏾🥊
i love how people under estimate viddals technical ability and speed.. ive been a long time fan of his.. he realy is on another level and truly loves the sport.
Watching this really makes you wonder why he didn't learn to bring his hands up more. If you were exposing how easy it was to hit his face in sparring why did he not expect the same to happen in the actual fight?
Because Eddie surrounds himself with yes men, the same thing he accuses thor of doing, I'm a fan of Eddie's, but it was so obvious from his videos leading up to the fight that he had Complete control over his training.
@@chrisfricker7025 yeah I really don't think he picked the right trainer for the fight. He was just relying on his power the entire time, almost no technique and the first thing they teach you in boxing is to have your hands up so why is the coach allowing him to have his hands that low. Especially with Vidal clearing damage that eyebrow in this video even!
Because he can’t physically do that. His arms are too big and means getting hit on the guard. Eddie doesn’t feel comfortable getting hit.
@@IvanM272 he can do it, and it's much better getting punched in the guard rather than in the face by one of the biggest men on the planet..
It's multiple reasons he doesn't but it seems like the main one is energy, after a workout or during a fight your arms are gonna be heavy and them big ass arms are probably hard to hold up but they gotta be on him ab that shit
Viddal is a next level of a boxer man. The way he throws with accuracy and his ability to counter, top tier lad.
He's faster than I thought he'd be for his size
Fair play that's mad, cant imagine fighting someone who can deadlift more then 500kg XD
Looks like Eddie mistook a sparing session with a professional boxer to a real fight.
Yea. I guess this is one of the guys Eddie was referring to when he said he for the better of them in sparring. While Eddie held his own let's be honest it's good it wasn't judged let's put it that way
@@kingdaleclarke this is sparring not a fight if Vidaal threw some Combos and sat on his shots he'd easily TKO Eddie 😂
@@kingdaleclarke Eddie done well but let’s be honest viddal was really letting him get som work in, viddal was landing some flush combos and 1-2s . Every shot Eddie threw was scary but when your that big its hard to put combinations together, viddal looked much more smoother and fluid.
Listening to Viddal just makes me want to work that much harder to get my shit together. Thankfull for the content you post, and hope you continue to prosper. God bless.
Yall both took some shot in there. Crazy!
eddie thought viddal was trying to hit him hard (he wasn't,hardly threw combos) so he tried to take his head off, some of eddie's punches was full power
definitely werent full power but they were pretty hard
@@Shortyplayz a punch at the end of one of the rounds was harder than he threw at thor
@@joenewton97 did you see how hard he was throwing at thor?
@@Shortyplayz about the same as he did in this spar
@4:00 I love how Eddie asks “you okay?” like bitch please don’t think for a second you gave that guy any trouble whatsoever 😂😂
He’s asking “you okay?” Like he didn’t get a black eye he should’ve asked himself that
you clearly know jack shit about boxing or fighting lmao, when sparring a light jab might seem alot to you rather then those watching, its different when you are in the ring. many times i thought i was actually rocking my opponent until i watch the footage and see they were light hooks in sparring
Why are they sparring and eddie is throwing potentially life ending punches
Because he's an idiot who can't stand being wrong? The couple of times Viddal hits him, Eddie asks him to keep the power down. Tosser.
Viddal man , you are just sooo entertaining to watch. Keep going. Keep doing what you do.
All the left hands he’s got eating, and still keeping his right hand down against the faster fighter.
4:36 I’m pretty sure Eddie took inspiration from viddal here when he sprung back from the ropes and unexpectedly hit him
Man Eddie was getting whooped in this spar..he really needed to tighten up that defense and get back to basics.
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);
That shit is tiring to anyone's shoulders letalone carrying those arms, and being built/trained for power not cardio. He can't keep his hands up even if he wanted to.
@@robbiemedica2652 as said it maybe a size issues or cockiness but yes he can be trained to keep his hands up! Size whilst makes it more challenging has affected Thor or 1000s of others with large volumes of muscle who box!
he came in with the wrong mentality, he never worried about boxing mechanics like scoring and winning rounds, he just bet on one hand to knock Thor. Thor came in like a boxer, boxed boxers and learned all the mechanics from technique to strategy. Night and Day difference in this fight
@@---Blue very well said.
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?
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"
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?
@@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.
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.
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.
That back hand bro is money.
If only you throw like that in fights the KO's you would get.
Telling Viddal to keep power down then throwing three times as hard himself...
6:21 viddal threw 1 combo and eddie was clueless dont compare their skill
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?
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.
It’s the mass sheer amount of mass 😂 fuck that
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.
@@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
@@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.
Dint you see the thor fight you can see he had super power in his right hand
3:42 the way Eddie brushed off the clean punch he just took looks like some shit you would see in a movie
Carl Froch !
Cannot believe you didn't get knocked out man. Like you actually took those shots
I feel like Eddie's tryna kill viddal one powerful shot at a time😂
3:40 same combo that knock Eddie on his ass against Thor.
A simple 1-2
I think its clear eddies bicep tear is a bigger issue than hes claimed, he very rarely throws his left and it looks painful when he does especially at 5:23 he seems to be shaking off the pain
True but it is probably the fact he is more worried it will tear again rather that it hurting him. I think his trainers just weren't on him enough about his technique and basic fundamentals
@@lavarelease2928 yeh that too, either way Eddie fought Thor with 1 arm and still managed to make it competitive!
Wow true
@@harrylevell eddie crab stance lmao
Still could have thrown jabs.
bruh.... good fight!!! yall both got got hands, but VIDDAL.... you got hands, hands my guy! big respect to both of yall, i took alot away from this match. Im not in yall weight class, but im on the way to getting in the ring myself, anyway much respect good work!!
i feel as if eddie hall adapted the peekaboo style, he'd become spectacular with it
Great sparring session but confirmed what I said all along. Technique will overcome power all day. Eddie not learning to keep his hands up caused him to take too many unnecessary shots. Eddie lost his fight only because Thor was the better boxer.
Most entertaining spar of 2020. Keep up it up boys 🙌
2022
@@olivernewton4403lol was drunk when i typed. Booze must of sent me back 2 years
Vidal would mess Jake up
the differnce between tommy fury using protection to take a body shot and viddal actually sparring him! and this was 2021. crazy
Dang V !!! 1 power punch from big E and your S is out my guy..the weight and the size of that fist !! Respect both of you !
Viddal is actually insane, future champ
Won't be able to tell anything until he fights a ranked fighter
Eddie asking someone whos 55kg lighter than him to drop the power even though hes trying to take Viddals head off with every shot 😂😂😂😂
He can be the hammer but can't be the nail. I feel like his ego won't allow him to believe anyone is better than him even though they have trained their whole life. Eddie might have had some potential if he actually learnt how to box. He goes way too hard for sparring.
@@mmapastablaster7743 people who go that hard in sparring are usually raw novices who cant go through the gears
@@Jarrosnshajahwh I agree but if you give it you better be able to take it. It's his coaches fault for not telling him to reduce the power as well as his own ego.
Worst part is if he had trained properly he would not be a raw novice after 2 years.
@@mmapastablaster7743 yeh im agreeing with you, i could say woth confidence id make Eddie Hall a much better boxer than he is in 2 years!
You can tell those punches hurt, that's why there's weight categories for a reason
I could feel the wind from the punches through the screen
Looked like Viddal hurt Eddie more, hence why he asked him to punch softer
@@DatDarkPeters when?
u can tell why there are professionals and dumb dumbs.... viddal threw one combo and left eddie clueless. real match eddie wouldn't even be seeing viddal walking around the ring. if this is what he meant by doing well with pros he's a good dreamer. u can't rly make anything out of weight from this spar. spar..... not real match lol
The fact that viddal went southpaw when hes normally orthodox shows how helpful he wanted to be for eddie since thors a southpaw
That was great work from both, viddal skills are remarkable, and the big guy was alot faster and mobile than I thought 💯💯🔥🔥
Idk what it is, but Vidal is fucking amazing. What a boss fighting this huge ass dude lol Vidal is like Izzy in that regard. Cardio body beats body builder everytime
that's really dumb to say don't embarrass yourself and fight someone just cause they look like a "bodybuider"
@@mihqclips waaah🤣
not really. without the headgear eddie only would need one 60% punch to the jaw to knock him out
@@grav8241 u do realise that this is sparing ,viddal never tried to go all out ,he was even tell him how to defend better while they were sparing ,just look at in round two when Eddie received one punch from viddal and stopped ,viddal was never there to fight him like a match but more like a little sparing and help him , if it was a match viddal would have easily won In first or second round for sure.
Eddie has potential man i hope he doesn’t quite drop the gloves ! And I’d love to see Viddal fight tommy fury
Viddal would actually destroy fury lol
I am a big fan of eddie but he done bollocks in the fight, done much more in this spar here than he did in the proper fight
Great work bro not easy in such a small ring with such a big guy, your skill showed massively
Eddie throwing bombs and asking Viddal to keep the power down
I just dont understand why Eddie's trainer didnt make put his hands up. He just kept having his right hand down and even in this spar it punished him a few times.
Eddie did better against you than Thor, shows how much he underestimated him
Also think that thors height was a big factor
I mean Viddal isn’t 6’9 lmao
Yeah because the ring was like half the size here.
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.
The ring here was smaller so it was easier for Eddie to get to Viddal
Regardless i think eddie did excellently tbh man the size of him aswell. He did struggle to get close though think the size of the ring he was used to played a factor aswell as the sheer size of thor like damn. Props to both however I thought id be a hugfest (talking about the fight btw )
I was entertained and impressed by both for different reason. Only thing I'd say is Eddie relied too much on his powerful right.
Eddie did terrible his technique was the worst out of any boxer I've ever seen in my life 💀
@@lukeadams1839 bro have u seen Deji
bro at least Eddie fucking threw punches
There’s no escaping a ass whooping in combat sports 😂😂
Dude these two are literally something else😂😂😂
