KSI vs. Logan Paul YouTube Superfight Ends In A Draw
Billed as “The Greatest Amateur Boxing Fight of All Time,” YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI fight with no discernable winner.
The two YouTubers have feuded for months and it resulted in the two having an amateur boxing match in England. The fight headlined an event at the Manchester Arena, with Michael Buffer working as the ring announcer and after six rounds, the two boxers fought to a majority draw (58-57 KSI, 57-57, 57-57). The fight was no masterpiece as far as technical boxing is concerned, but it had it’s fair share of moments where those in the audience got on their feet to cheer on the two to keep fighting.
Paul started the fight showboating and showcasing what limited skills with the jab that he possessed. Paul landed the first major punch of the fight when he landed a right hand that hurt KSI and almost stopped him at the end of the opening round.
KSI eventually rebounded and got comfortable, starting to land his hook, though some of KSI’s hooks were wild haymakers that missed Paul by a wide margin. The fight got even more heated after the second round when KSI intentionally threw a jab at Paul which almost incited a brawl.
Both inexperienced fighters would continue a back-and-forth slugfest that saw each boxer get a chance to land significant punches on the other. Paul landed a right hand that hurt KSI in the fifth round, but once again, Paul wasn’t able to put away his opponent.
After the fight, both Paul and KSI believed they each had won the fight and said they would be up for a rematch.
