All eight agreed that the two men will put on a great show nearly two years after their fight.
Adam Bishop was Britain's Strongest man 2020. He said that he would put his money on Eddie. Although Thor looks technical and has the reach, I believe this fight will be a good old-fashioned suit-up.
"Having known Eddie for many years, I can attest to his stubbornness and focus when it comes to achieving his goals. He is a total committee. He will be fully prepared and ready for the fight.

JF Caron 9x Canada's Strengthest Man boomed: "My money's on Eddie because he is a fighter in His mind. Thor is afraid.
Jerry Pritchett was named America's Strongest Man 2017 and stated: "I'm with Eddie every step of the way!" He's maintained more strength and size in addition to his boxing training, which I believe will pay off. Eddie seems more aggressive and meaner than ever.
Travis Ortmayer is a Strongman competitor and coach. He noted that "In the beginning I would have said Eddie right away, but he's given Thor so many time to get better, that it's pretty wide open. Thor is starting to look quite dangerous.
"If Thor is able to withstand the initial barrage of heaving hitting Eddie, I believe he will. However, I'm not sure if he's there yet. Eddie's cardio is quite strong. Eddie will take this.
Ervin Toots revealed that both men are legends but that Eddie, as a former boxer, has more of the sport in him. If Thor can't, or won't, Eddie will win.
Martyn Foreman, a Hollywood actor-turned-boxer added, "My money's on Eddie. Thor is so awkward and slow that he lacks any snap or explosiveness. Technically, Thor is improving, but even if Eddie hits him, it doesn't seem like he has any power that could cause too much concern."
Kelvin de Ruiter World Champion Truck Puller said that Bjornsson was initially expected to win. However, Thor has gained more experience through competitions and losing weight. These are the reasons I believe Thor will win.
Oleg Silka, Multiple Strengthman Champ, said: "I believe Thor will win because he has had many fights in the Ring and has experience."
