Yesterday, Icelandic Hercules Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, known as the world's strongest man/Game of Thrones", and another famous British World Hercules "beast" Eddie Hall ended a five-year-old crossover boxing match in Dubai, winning six rounds with a full six-round Biungson point.
In 2016, Hall lifted a 500-kilogram barbell at the World Hard Pull Championships, breaking a record held by himself. Hall even fainted after completing the race due to a sudden burst of cerebral blood vessels.
But soon after, Hall's record was broken by the 2.05-meter-tall Icelander B. Aungson with a height of 205 kilograms, and the two became resentful and began to spray each other five years ago in an air-to-air war of words, which was highly anticipated by boxing fans because of their weight and experience.
Finally, the two met in September last year to settle their feud in a boxing match, and both of them specially prepared for boxing training, and even lost 50 kilograms of weight than Aungson, but unfortunately the pre-match Hall biceps injury competition had to be postponed to the present.
At Friday's pre-match weighing ceremony, Bj. Aungson weighed 152 kilograms and Hall weighed 150 kilograms and the combined weight of the two men reached a staggering 300 kilograms or more, which is a veritable super heavyweight boxing match.
Hall, who was very confident at the beginning of the game, took the initiative to launch an offensive, and the powerful forehand swing punch repeatedly hit Bionsen, repeatedly beating him to the toe. However, his head was hardly defended, and he was relatively cautious than Aungson, and seemed to be more afraid of the opponent's heavy punches.
At the beginning of the second round, Hall made a strong swing and almost knocked down Bionsen, and the referee began to read seconds to him. In the following game, Hall swung his fists at the same time as Bionsen attacked and knocked him down, and for a time Hall had the absolute upper hand.
However, as the game progressed, Hall's monotonous three-plate axe was recognized by Bionsen, and began to pay attention to the forehand stabbing to control the distance and retreat to dodge, repeatedly destroying Hall's powerful swing punch. In the melee, Hall's physical strength decreased and the lethality of the swing punch was greatly reduced, and he was knocked down by Aungson's punch.
In the following game, Aungson controlled the rhythm, taking advantage of his height and arm length to hit Hall frequently with one or two combos. Hall seemed helpless for a moment and could only continue to rely on the front swing punch, but at this time, his physical function had already dropped seriously, and his low hit rate was pitiful, but instead B. Aungson's back fist hit Hall many times, and Hall's eyes were opened to bleed.
The sixth round of the game was still a reproduction of the last few rounds, and Bjørnsen became more and more confident to punch Hall down again. The match ended with a full onsen laugh until the opponent won with a 57-54, 57-54, 57-54 point advantage.
It is possible that Bionsen will then hold a rematch with Hall, or even directly with another famous Five World Hercules Champion/famous MMA boxer, Mariusz Pudzianowski.
