"I was mad" - IShowSpeed reviews his sparring session with KSI

Even though IShowSpeed entered the match with high confidence, he got schooling when facing KSI, who, as expected, proved to be a seasoned and skilled boxer. One of the most viral moments of the stream was when the streamer left the boxing gym in tears.

Speaking to his chat, the 18-year-old explained what happened over the weekend:

"Let me address the fight. I was mad. I wasn't crying, like, tears crying, I was mad crying. I was mad because we agreed on six rounds. Then after the fourth round, I wasn't obviously winning, then KSI came over to me and basically little bro'd me. He f**king little bro'd me in front of everybody and I didn't have the chance to stick up for myself."

He added:

"He said it in front of the screen. He basically played me in front of my own stream. I was like, 'No, bro, let's fight,' and he was like, 'No bro, let's just stop here.' I was like, 'No bro, let's fight, bro.' Chat, I was genuinely mad."

IShowSpeed believes he would've won the fight despite the one-way show. He said:

"Y'all can say 'cap' bro, I would've won that fight if it kept going. But he stopped. I don't know why he stopped. I'll think about this fight every single day bro. I promise you, bro, I would've got some good shots in if the fight would've continued."

Despite a convincing performance, KSI was actually impressed with what IShowSpeed brought to the table. In fact, the YouTuber even mentioned that the Ohio-born creator is welcome at his Misfits Boxing event.
