#VIDDAL #EDDIEHALL - Zábava
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
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
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
Vidal 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 and for the ppl who dont watch boxing, this is a

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
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
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!
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
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💀
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
Man, I don't watch your content alot but your skill is insane. I hope you go far brother.
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
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
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.
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.
“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.
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.
Viddal man , you are just sooo entertaining to watch. Keep going. Keep doing what you do.
Yall both took some shot in there. Crazy!
Well done Viddal. Excellent speed and technique
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
Great work bro not easy in such a small ring with such a big guy, your skill showed massively
Fascinating to watch, Thanks.
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!
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 😆
Viddddddal you so good at what you do man, thanks for the awesome content
This was insane, props to both of you warriors
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🎇🎆🧨
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
That was great work from both, viddal skills are remarkable, and the big guy was alot faster and mobile than I thought 💯💯🔥🔥
3:22 something about this just mesmerizes me
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
Viddal's agility and response time is crazy, I see potential for a champion
This is fascinating to watch! Full credit
that was fucking awesome. passionate talent all around love it
Mad that Vidal’s prominent stance is orthodox and he fought this whole entire spar in southpaw. Impressive stuff man
Viddal giving me Apollo creed vibes at 3:50
I love your fighting style. Very light very nice to watch
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.
First time viddal actually lands on Eddie, Eddie asks him to bring the power down
And then trys to take his head off. 🤣🤣
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.
Bro I'm a huge fan bro your skill and this video. Just amazing. Good job good work
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!!
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
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.
this video made me sub, great work from both partys
What a video.. Thanks for the free episode
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.
really interesting to watch stuff like this, kind of answers the old question about how much size matters
Size does matter but there is a point of diminishing returns. It’s rare for a heavyweight over 19 stone to do well.
what do you mean? viddal domineted that sparr and if it was a real boxing match with 10 oz gloves vidaal would have knockt him out.
Size does matter to an extent but i reckon the situation would be much different if it was a street fight rather than a boxing spar
@@khattakjarir3399 Eddie woulda killed em if it’s a street fight 💀
Viddal is a next level of a boxer man. The way he throws with accuracy and his ability to counter, top tier lad.
Brilliant video
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
He's faster than I thought he'd be for his size
Quality from both sides 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
that spar was so enjoyable and entertaining to watch
Even here Eddie still adopting the "hands completely down" defense and just throwing overhand right
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
A truly boxing artist. Future champ fam👍🏽🔥
This was some good work!
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
I bet that was like being in the ring with Hulk. Much respect 💪🏾🥊
Dude these two are literally something else😂😂😂
I fucking loved this! Viddal I’m rooting for you every step of your career and I can’t waitttt to see u make ur way to the top
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
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
That back hand straight shot is so quick and effective
Gotta just love the respect alone
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.
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, first time watching you and you looked really good. Going to watch the fight now hopefully
Nice sparing session 👍🏾
Looking at eddie's comment at the end he kind of knew he was going to lose. Wonder if he had any injuries he didn't let on like the bicep tear still affecting him. Regardless it's obvious his coach failed him whether due to eddie not listening or not who knows.
He detached his bicep, that’s why the last fight was called off and you could see in this clip he threw his left and looked uncomfortable then didn’t really throw it with much conviction after, so he knew he’d have to fight Thor with one arm and fair play to him for not using it as an excuse
He lost because he's not even half as tough as he believed he was. Bottom line. No injury, just arrogance.
The man claimed he's been fighting his whole life, and Thor had no idea what was coming.
Turns out Eddie had no idea what was coming. The man's delusional. Just a delusional as everyone making excuses for him.
@@colet4805 he had 1 arm bicep detached. normal boxing technique would not be possible
@@mattwilliams1205 it was repaired. He went on training, and lifting very heavy weights. He wasn't injured. That's just an excuse.
@@colet4805 just look at the fight its obvious it wasnt functional. Eddie only turned up to get paid.
Do you honestly think his left arm was uninjured?
Comon 🤜🏻🤛🏻 keep it up viddal
Wow great sparring
Pretty decent footage! Always impressed when watching Vidal if he can get a long streak of fights he could certainly be a future champ. You can see there’s a real weakness in Eddies game of the longer reach weapons like the jab and 1-2 and that showed in the fight itself but the head movement in the fight was better then here
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
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.
straight to the point I rate that
Real humble both sides 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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.
These both 2 guys are insane
that right hook in the end of round 2 looked like it rung a bell, my god that man is big.
Eddie: “Take the power down bud” (whilst proceeding to swing as hard as he can)
6:21 viddal threw 1 combo and eddie was clueless dont compare their skill
Legit goosebumps watching that!
honestly just mesmerising watching viddal's beautiful technique
Anyone else realize Viddal was fighting southpaw the entire time when he’s a orthodox fighter!!! Viddal is such a beast
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...
this was 100x more entertaining than the actual fight
Beautiful work-poetry
Eddie “power down bud”
Also Eddie swings that massive right hook
Been searching for this comment knew I heard it haha
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
The power behind his punches my god
Damn this was absolutely entertaining to watch.
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.
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
"Keep the power down boy" as he proceeds to throw bombs exclusively lol
