The Mountain bore a passing resemblance to a man who has a place in combat sports. Frampton's compliments during the Ward exhibition were more sincere than facetious. The floor for how bad he could be was really low.
Disclaimer I've not got around to looking at Eddie Hall yet. Besides everybody looks good on the pads.
Yeah, that was the thing. He could have been like 3am outside a nightclub useless
Was better than that, and definitely more useful than expected
Fights like Freddie Flintoff is my go to diss
I forgot he did some boxing thing didn't he
Not sure I ever saw that, and remember Rio doing one as well, wasn't it?
This is a quality watch if you've forgotten the spoilers.
Rio with BT backing and a years worth of training never saw the light of day. It's a shame as these novelty fights can be fantastic for punting.

Yeah, unnecessary punishment. Nightmare for Eddie. Loses Warrington to Frank for him big fights. Pays a few quid to get him back and then that happens. Feels like that was a career changing beating as well. I’m not sure he bounces back from that.
It's a total mindfuck aswell as an extended beating. A victim of the pandemic he's gone from peaking at 28/29, selling out arena's, and about to unify in a big payday, to this.
Currently reading The Lost Soul of Eamonn MaGee by Paul Gibson. Won the William Hill Sports book of the year a couple of years back.
About growing up boxing in Belfast during the troubles. Run ins with the IRA. His battles with addiction to drugs, booze and gambling. Just got to the part in 2002 where he fought a youngish Ricky Hatton. Good read so far. Very well written though MaGee comes over as quite unlikeable and a complete mess. I have no idea how he ever made it in the ring for a fight the state he was in most of the time.
