Ah, you know what, I get what you are saying, but I have to give it to Thor, he has been working on his fundamentals. Now, the problem is that he has not had enough experience for those fundamentals to really be solid in an actual fight. But you are not wrong.

Congratulations, you've made the right guess as he did won this match up, it seems that the fundamentals you're talking are showing off their results in the ring. Of course I'm not wrong, I was pointing out what's obvious.

Thor just did what he is supposed to do, imposed his will on the ring but using his advantage which is a little boxing skill, and his height and reach. It wasn't a devastating loss by Devon, but if the referee did not count it as KO, he would have suffered more damage as Devon was just a punching bag fighter a bigger and taller guy. THOR was really strong just like a character in marvel comics.

Haven't seen the match but hopefully you're right that we can see more fights like this albeit it's an exhibition match, it's still a show of strength and power, I mean who wouldn't want to see a brute like Hafthor Bjornsson or Eddie Hall or Brian Shaw punch someone to see the raw power that they have.

You should see it when you have the time, it's not like it's a must watch but it's not good for you to miss out because it's not everyday we see this kind of matches, a battle between two hulking giants isn't something you see daily.

I am not sure about the regulation in their country, but if you bet on yourself to win, I think there's no problem with that, unless you bet on yourself and you intentionally lose the fight, that's what you called rigging the fight which is illegal and punishable by law.

aha, ok, tnx for the explanation, makes sense that it differs from country to country.

I watched the fight and saw Hafthor Bjornsson has a big height and weight advantage, it's like a match between a heavyweight and middleweight, Hafthor Bjornsson is very menacing although Larrat landed a clean shot, it's not enough to back Bjornsson no protest coming from Larrat side when the referee stops the fight, it's an exhibition and fight should be stopped when there is blood or one fighter is not in a good condition toocontinue.
The referee did a good job, both fighters display sportsmanship.

Eh, yeah, I get what you are saying, but Larratt is not that off as he is 10cm shorter and roughly 30kg below Thor. The problem is that Thor is not able to lose that much weight anymore (keep in mind he was 200kg last year) and that it's hard to find an opponent that matches all the criteria, especially on such short notice. This is not relevant to fighting Hall, but it is an experience Thor can draw from.

It was a fun match although, I have only seen some highlights, I think they made a good show of strength but it seems that Hafthor did get the win in this one. Hopefully we see more of this, strongmen try their strength in a boxing match.

The match was so good that the other guys tried their best but hafthar jornson won and was at the top of the competition hafthor jornson has won the strongest men's competition in the world in the past. Recently lysis has been taking time off for a recovery injury and has changed gears to become a boxer although there are many rivals they are far ahead in terms of winning.

Yep, Thor won. Not sure about the broken nose though...One thing I just saw and did not know about is that Larratt trained at fellow Canadian's gym Tristar under coach Firas Zahabi, and MMA fans will know who that is.

There's no news about that, it was just an assumption as Larratt was hit hard in the face and he lose in standing KO.

Also, I always thought it was illegal to place bets on yourself? Is that just from country to country or you can bet on yourself wining and not losing so you don't take a dive? How does that work?

.

It is indeed illegal to place bets on yourself, in any country. No bookies also offered betting options for this fight. Bjornsson and Larratt made a bet with each other that they would be able to break each other nose.

But even though Larratt was bleeding from his nose after the fight, his nose was not broken.

Nice win by Bjornsson but I commend what Larratt did in the fight as he was a real warrior, he was able to take the punches of a bigger and taller Bjornsson and I agree that the referee is doing a great job, this fight is short but is not boring, I liked it.

How about betting, has anyone here able to bet on this fight?

It was too easy for Bjornsson, Larratt had no good preparation and could you cleary see that. Bjornsson landed some punches and after 1 good punch, the fight was already over.
I am still curious to see the fight between Hall and Bjornsson as there is a lot rivalry between both.

Devon Larratt doesn't look like he has a boxing skills, he was the shorter boxer but he doesn't have the quickness so he loses the fight. He was hurt so bad I think, but he is strong and was able to stand even he got hit hard, I like to see him fight again but hopefully not against a guy that has a huge advantage over him, probably the same height, popular but not so popular in his boxing skills, I think it would also sell.

Yeah, I agree, it was an easy win for Thor, but the takeaway from this was the fact that he got the much-needed experience in the ring that might tip the scale to his favor in the eventual Hall fight. Overall it was better for him to get anyone he can a get that little extra confidence than to sit on the sidelines and wait for Hall.

Props to Larratt for stepping up, what a great guy. Hope he got paid well.

Hopefully, he is paid well, I search for the purse of both boxers in this fight but I could not find one, instead I found this very interesting information.

Thor Bjornsson has bet $5,000 that he will be able to break opponent Devon Larratt's nose on Saturday night in Dubai.

So Bjornsson won? Because it looks like he broke the nose of Devon Larratt in that fight, he hit him hard in the last round where the ref stopped the fight although he did not hit the canvass.

I can't find where I have read it, I have to admit, but I think Thor himself posted that it's not an exhibition match. That being said, if someone is an amateur that does not mean he is engaging in exhibition matches, he is actually engaging in amateur boxing matches. What makes an exhibition match is a ruleset. Pro boxers also do exhibition matches. So being an amateur boxer does not mean you only do exhibition matches.

No wonder on their match he keeps pouring big punches and chasing Devon Larratt he treats it as a real boxing match, you don't inflict big damages on an exhibition match, the referee stoppage is unquestionable he did the right thing nose is busted and he is receiving big punches in the head not worth continuing anymore since it's not a title match.

This is a lesson here. Boxing is a physical game that is serious despite its purpose. If a promoter wants to organize such kind of exposition, they should rather look at other games because in the boxing ring, tempers can rise and the whole joke may turn soar to real fight. That is the situation there as punches became more hard and furious.

Is this a Wrestling match? Sorry, I don't follow wrestling a lot but I could bet on this fight if the odds are available.

As the fight is scheduled September 18, 2021, I was expecting that I can find betting odds for this fight, but I tried to search in the sportsbook I'm using, I could not find available odds for this fight.

As per topic it was a boxing match I guess, maybe they're still about to plan adding it on sportsbet sites that's why still we couldn't find it on sportsbook yet. I haven't yet seen the fight history of these fighters, and for now I am fairly not choosing any odds for them; I'll just wait for the available odds as soon as possible.

Thor and Devon are friends and it's they good thing Thor showed sportsmanship. The ref was absolutely amazing by knowing that Devon was already in a bad shape and not letting him go any longer.

Larrat did not complain when the referee stopped the fight he knew he is overwhelmed by a much bigger guy, there's awkwardness on both fighters, which really showed that both are amateurs but the best part is when both fighters show sportsmanship I hope Thor fight a fighter that has an equal size like him next time.

I don't know these two but I made some research and I like Devon Larratt because he is a jolly guy, lol.

I was actually watching this video - WAL 504: Dave Chaffee vs Devon Larratt (Official Video) Full Match and I find him good at trash talking his opponent and he won this competition.
However, in this boxing fight it's different because he was the one that was dominated, he can't hit the taller guy while Bjornsson hit him with clean shots.

Congrats to Bjornsson by the way, it was a good win by him.

^ Thor Bjornsson got his third win after knocking out Devon Larratt. The referee had to stop the match as Devon was struggling after receiving the heavy punches from Thor. The match ended 24 seconds before the first round timer. I haven't watched any match of these before this one, but I liked how Thor Bjornsson played the match. He has a very good pack of punches with good speed in them Cool

. Though he got trash-talked, he was very nice to his opponent after the match. He thanked and credited him after the match which was a very nice gesture.
