Eddie Hall Vs Hafthor “Thor” Björnsson Results: Fight Round Analysis
Thor is deceptively fast for a man his size, Eddie needs to keep those hands up and stop swinging wildly with those overhands. The tension is palpable. #ThorVsEddie pic.twitter.com/cOXgv6vsQa

Eddie Hall @eddiehallwsm brought an astounding level of energy and aggression to the fight. Like a tank, he held back punches during the earlier rounds only to deliver a heavy blow to his opponent. Eddie’s main strategy comprised of a knockout blow to Thor @thorbjornsson and he did come close to doing it several times during the match. However, Thor got back up on his feet every time he fell to the floor.
Eddie’s approach was aggressive but he knew the risks going in. Eddie did manage to land some heavy punches but Thor had plans of his own.
Thor’s approach, on the other hand, was fairly simple – To tire Eddie out, land punches to secure points, and avoid taking as much damage as possible. He did take some heavy hits but returned the favor in later rounds. Thor did manage to win but he was much more fearful of Eddie during the entire match than the latter was of him. Thor was fighting Eddie with a singular goal in mind, to win and so he did.
Thor defeated Eddie with a unanimous decision from the jury with 57-54 points and rightfully became the champion.
