If I had a year to work with Eddie he would win the rematch.Thor Bjornsson and Hall have weighed in at a combined 600lbs ahead of their boxing grudge match but it will not be the self-proclaimed 'heaviest boxing match in history'. The biggest thing for him is that he hasn't learned how to follow up after he gets the better of his opponent. Threw the couple of punches he know well and effectively. Kept his hands up, moved properly without crossing his feet. His level of skill.he is at the end of being a we coached beginner. Thor on the other hand seems like a guy who never threw a punch before boxing, so he didn't have bad habits to bring to the table. He needed a reliable way to set up that big right hand. Teddy Atlas would say that he has a bomb but no way to get it there, so it lands in a field and makes a crater and you can go swimming when it rains. I dont think he worked with a real boxing coach to get ready. Clearly he has been in the ring and probably fought in the street a ton. He also had some tools, especially defensively. I felt like Eddie was comfortable in there, which is the hardest thing to learn in all of boxing.
