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.

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.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/thor-bjornsson-devon-larratt-make-25000866

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.

Boxing finished and won by: Hafthor Bjornsson, I see Devon Larratt is not serious in this fight, even though Devon had a long range style to avoid hitting Hafthor, but in the end this boxing was won by Hafthor.

Hafthor and Devon they're both close friends.

I think as long as they're in the ring, it's not what the crowd expects, I mean not as aggressive, like other boxers, no emotions, etc., it seems they are just for fun (not serious in the fight) in the boxing arena this time.

Whether it's just for thrills or just for entertainment for the two of them.

There's a big discrepancy on the height and strength, Bjornsson is overwhelming Larrat I agree with the referee stopping the fight, both are not fighters and it's the overall condition of the fighter should be considered, although Larrat is not receiving boxer punching power it's enough to inflict damage coming from a guy with that huge size, it's a good exhibition match short but full of action.

I think this is gonna be like a street fight since neither of the two are boxers, but this is interesting, especially since Devon is fighting, I bet he has a lot of power in his punch compare to his opponent. I don't but this kind of matches gets in trend, since Logan Paul first boxing match, then other YouTubers or famous people started to join the trend. No matter what their reason is, this is gonna be fun to bet since we don't know who is the best puncher.

Well, watching these kinds of matches is fun. Having the uncertainty is enjoyable for me. These are also fun for like a refreshment. When are tensed about a high voltage match and don't know who will win that, these types of matches bring a wind of refreshment. You can just chill, sit back and relax and enjoy the match.

Ah Devon Larratt was one of very famous and successful wrestler, does those money not enough for him? He's already 46 years old, it's not on his prime condition. He need to fight with Bjornsson which only 32 years old, the interesting thing he had couple fight before with Simon Vallily and Steven Ward [1] both fight ended draw. Does this third match will be draw too? I guess it will.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haf%C3%BE%C3%B3r_J%C3%BAl%C3%ADus_Bj%C3%B6rnsson

Larratt is still one of the best arm wrestlers around and is the nr 1 arm-wrestler in North America. Will try to watch the fight as it just sounds interesting and will hopefully be entertaining to watch. Bjornsson is already training a couple of months so he should have picked up something from it.

Even if they didn't disclose that this match is just an exhibitions that aims to collect money from the viewers, its pretty obvious because they are not boxers at all. A great wrestler and now going into a boxing ring again to fight and we all know their real purpose for this match. Age may not be the basis but considering his record and success, Bjornsson has the advantage here, but then again we don't know their contract.

Ah Devon Larratt was one of very famous and successful wrestler, does those money not enough for him? He's already 46 years old, it's not on his prime condition. He need to fight with Bjornsson which only 32 years old, the interesting thing he had couple fight before with Simon Vallily and Steven Ward [1] both fight ended draw. Does this third match will be draw too? I guess it will.

He does not have to be in prime condition to beat Bjornsson. Bjornsson weighs as much as a truck and he will be slow. I do not think this will be a entertaining fight and it will be two fighters who will be exhausted by round 2. How many rounds are there? I hope there is not more than 3 rounds. I plan on watching it because I like Bjornsson from Game of thrones but I am not expecting a good fight. Devon Larret might be fitter than Bjnornsson and he has fought before even if that was wrestling he is used to fighting someone else.

I am just confused when the OP said this is not an exhibition match. I think it is since both are not professional boxers and also this is their first time fighting inside the boxing ring. their experience will not bring them close to victory if they get tired so fast.

I am as well, so I made a research and I find out that the fight is an exhibition match.
The original fight was Hafthor Bjornsson vs Eddie Hall and Hall was replace by Devon Larratt.

This is the content of the article.

The Game of Thrones actor and strongman Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson was set to face British strongman Eddie Hall in an exhibition boxing match that was scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 18, but with the Brit unfortunately suffering a detached bicep, the fight is set to be rescheduled for around March 2022.

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.

I would have watched the Hafthor vs Hall fight, but I'm not interested in this bout. Hafthor last fight didn't gain much traction, and I'm assuming that this one won't either. The reason the Hall fight was followed as much as it was is because they both have a history, there's rivalry in it, and they aren't the typical fighter build, they are both huge. This fight has none of that, and I'd either expect Hafthor to win through sheer pressure, but not look that good winning or the smaller fighter circling, and picking his shots, and winning the fight through pure agility, and fitness.

Though, I wouldn't entertain the idea of betting on the fight. There's too many factors, and there isn't enough footage on either of them.

We will see this fight tomorrow and it seems an interesting one. I hope they don't get tired in the earlier rounds when they throw multiple punches at the early stage of the fight.

Seriously boxing? AFAIK, Hafthor was a strongman champ and Devon was an arm-wrestling champ.
Okay, let's assume the news is legit, Hafthor has highest chance of beating Devon.
Devon's strength was built for arm-wrestling and only for it, thus he can't punch since it will use different muscle. The weight difference will also take into consideration since Devon isn't muscular. He's basically an ordinary person with abnormal arm-wrestling strength.

Two giants fighting, I love to see if they will last the full round, or probably we will again see a first-round KO in this match.

I was looking for the betting odds since this fight will soon happen, but until now I could not fight any betting odds, even on a google search, no article gives an idea about the betting odds of the fight.

Is this fight not put for betting?

I will definitely watch Hafthor Bjornsson boxing against Devon Larratt, in the ring tomorrow, it will be interesting, one is the strongest Athlete and the other is the Arm Wrestler, what the crowd will say, ha, ha, this is fun.

As far as I know in the boxing arena both must have speed in swinging their hands in addition to hard punches, I'm sure Hafthor and Devon have hand strength that is not in doubt, both have arms as hard as steel, the problem in boxing this time is speed and hand movement, I'm sure they will be slow and stiff when throwing punches, because their arm muscles are too tight for boxing show, maybe for arm wrestling suits both of them, but let's see when the match comes, it's fun.

I don't think the fight will be fun to watch, because the two fighters have absolutely no foundation in boxing, as we all know that Björnsson is an athlete who participates in strongman competitions and so far he has never participated in combat sports whatever, so is Devon Larratt who is a wrestler and to be honest maybe the boxing match will just be a joke in the ring in my opinion Grin

.

That's you, for me, it's going to be a good time because we will be seeing these brutes duke it out in the ring without any fundamentals in boxing which is a good thing, it's like watching a train crash, you know it's bad and depressing but you still want to watch.

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.

Right? I am not sure why they would use that type of title, it just confuses the fans. Bad decision IMHO.

That reaction made me laugh though.
I believe bookies will list this match at the last minute, what I mean is maybe few hours before the fight.
But for us here, I think, we will just watch this fight and their undercards for entertainment purposes.
Don't think a lot of us here will bet on these fighters. Even sportsbooks are not yet picking up these fights.

That's why this is just going to be an exhibition match. Although the two has competed in other sports discipline, but the the trend now is now looks like a cross-over boxing. We are like back in the early 2000's wherein there's a lot of this so called celebrities boxing match. So yes, this is a joke fight only to show their fans how "strong" they are and obviously go for the money.

This match was initially scheduled to take place in Florida, but as usual due to covid cases there, the venue is shifted to Dubai.

That's the only reason i could see as sport betting sites are not sure if the match will even take place or not. However, this is just my assumption.

Big games must be listed on the sportsbook site. Why are there so many betting sites that no one includes them?
if it has been published shortly, and there is an announcement from the organizer regarding the rules and participants' readiness.
I'm sure many betting sites will miss this big game.

Quote from: TheNineClub on September 16, 2021, 08:09:59 AM

After his previous engagement with Eddie Hall got postponed due to Hall having an injury, Bjornsson quickly found a replacement in arm wrestling star Devon Larratt. The fight is near so get your predictions in. This is not classified as an exhibition fight. The full card is a follows. Who you got?

I read the Björnsson and Eddie Hall fight has been postponed until early next year. I believe Eddie Hall is in serious trouble and it will take him a long time to recover from his injuries.

Same here, tried to search it also on some fiat bookies but seems that nobody is offering this match right now. If I could place a bet, it would be on Bjornsson, Larratt stepped in because Hall got injured but only had a couple of weeks training.

The two are not well known fighters but are obviously known for their brute strength. It'll be hard to gauge who will come out as a victor considering that both of them are underexperienced on such fights scenarios. Nevertheless, it will be an interesting bout. Two strongmen displaying their wits and strength in a fight is something spectacular to watch.

If I was to bet on anything, I'd probably go on Devon Larratt here. The man's a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces, and surely knows how to handle his own in fights and brawls.
