    I don’t know how much this shows.

    He basically just fires body shots in to his partner like he’s trying to kill him.

    He’s very quick for someone of that size though and looks like he has a gas tank.

    He has *some* head movement which is good but he skipped first boxing lesson: keep your hands up... If Björnsson has a tiny bit of timing, he'll be out cold in 20 seconds. Not that I have seen Björnsson train... I guess he's just as bad.

    That being said, plenty of time for both to improve before the contest.

    i dont know how anyone thinks this is going to be anything other than 2 overweight (muscle or fat) blokes taking a couple of slugs at each other between bouts of gasping for air.

    I think that’s what people are hoping for!

    Sounds a bit "specialist".

    He’s a big old unit, but he’s slow.

    Still would not want to trust my speed vs that power though. Some of those blows connecting are going to do serious damage.

    He does look the sort of opponent that is going to shrug off multiple jabs to the head as a minor irritant before retaliating, in some form of Hollywood style response

    Looks absolutely dreadful.

    Thor looks the same but his basics are coming along better at the moment and is started to at least stand correctly and keep his hands up.

    If the other kid has a decent jab, jab and move and the big fella will soon tire, he's wide open coming in low

    But can you jab a mountain like that into submission? Only needs a couple of lazy swings to connect & it will hurt.

    Pub drunk with lazy slow haymakers aren’t anything to worry about even if they connect. These however will hurt, a lot.

    He weighs 350 pounds I certainly wouldn’t call him slow.

    The guy he is fighting is 6 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier speed is all relative.

    Yep - looks like he's swinging from the shoulders and quite wide instead of starting from the feet, legs and hips to generate the power....as said he's also not protecting his head/chin when coming in so a long straight cross might catch him.

    Having said that, with the sheer power he has it doesn't matter where he connects - body, arms, etc - it will still hurt
