Boxing fans not convinced Eddie Hall trained for Thor Bjornsson fight after defeat

Hall and Bjornsson had been preparing for the best part of two years - and had an extra six months when the Englishman pulled out of their original date last September. And while Hall started the fight well, he quickly faded and was dropped in the third and sixth rounds before losing on points.
