“Looks Like a Wet Rag”: Fans Pull No Punches Back While Slamming IShowSpeed After ‘Disappointing’ Training Clip Surfaces Online Ahead of KSI Sparring Livestream

Who would have thought the boxing world would get to witness gamers fighting in the ring? Regardless, it’s a new reality, and it isn’t boding well for IShowSpeed. In a surprising twist of faith, a sparring match between popular YouTuber turned professional boxer KSI and IShowSpeed was recently announced. The friendly exchange of blows will be live-streamed on IShowSpeed’s YouTube channel.

Interestingly, the fight is scheduled on the same date as KSI’s long-time rival Jake Paul’s upcoming fight on 15 December. However, before the two internet sensations get in the ring to exchange blows, a new clip surfaced online that made IShowSpeed the butt of all the jokes. Recently, Happy Punch shared a clip of the YouTuber on X (formerly Twitter) hitting the pads, and fans went on a field day with the internet personality.

Fan convinced IShowSpeed is getting knocked out

Turning to X, Happy Punch wrote in the caption, “Speed really putting work in for KSI,” alongside the clip. However, the optimism in the caption wasn’t mirrored in the comment section of the tweet. Since the tweet went live on X, it has collected over 56K views and a boatload of comments criticizing the moves from IShowSpeed.

One user didn’t think too well of IShowSpeed’s pad work as the user compared Speed with a “wet rag.”

Another user suggested that Speed should stop dropping his hands while fighting.

The next user highlighted that Speed tried to throw a right hook from knee height.

Someone else confidently declared Speed is going to get knocked out during the sparring session.

Ironically, one user claimed Speed needs to work on his “speed.”

While KSI is back on YouTube with his usual routine, here’s what he had to say about the PBA’s refusal to overturn the Tommy Fury decision.

KSI breaks silence about the Tommy Fury loss

On October 14, KSI went toe to toe with pro boxer Tommy Fury, losing the fight via unanimous decision. However, KSI was outraged with the result, claiming he won the fight and the decision was a robbery. So, immediately, the YouTuber appealed the decision to be reevaluated and possibly changed in his favor.

However, that did not happen, as the PBA claimed there were no grounds to overturn the result. So, KSI reflected on the decision in his recent YouTube video. “It wasn’t fair. Life isn’t fair. I looked back at the fight and tried to find any highlight, any showing of Tommy Fury beating me in that fight, and there is just hardly any,” said KSI.
