EDDIE HALL’S fight with Hafthor ‘Thor’ Bjornsson appeared to come to a premature end with seconds still remaining on the clock.
According to Segi TV’s timer there were ten seconds remaining for Hall to find the knockout he needed when the final bell rang.
Round four also stopped short of the full three minutes with the timer showing around five seconds left on the clock.
Segi TV had problems throughout with their stream continuously dropping in and out, much to the frustration of viewers.
Spectators were also puzzled by the abrupt end to the fight.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “The Eddie Hall vs Thor fight was an absolute s*** show and I’m sure it was stopped with 10 seconds left on the clock.”

Another added: “Eddie hall fight last round cut off with 10 seconds left?”
And a third said: “They lost like a whole minute because of the timer.”
Despite the uproar, in reality Hall needed more than the final ten seconds to find the killer blow.
He started the fight brilliantly and landed some huge shots but failed to build on that early momentum.

Hall allowed ‘The Mountain’ back into the fight and Thor began to use his greater height and reach advantage effectively.
Thor hit Hall with a massive punch at the end of the third round, sending the Brit to the canvas.
Hall got back up but tired in the final rounds and was unable to cause Thor much damage, with his second-round knockdown the only time he really troubled the big Icelandic.
