The much hyped charity match between the Sidemen FC and YouTube All Stars turned out to be a massive affair. Not because that Sidemen’s team won the battle, but due to the on-field incidents that gained huge attention. One such moment was when IShowSpeed pulled off a Muhammad Ali pose over boxer and fellow streamer KSI.

In case anyone is not aware, Sidemen FC had KSI as one of its big celebrity players while IShowSpeed was representing YouTube All-Stars. Just when the entire match was progressing smoothly, something happened between the two streamers that caught the eyeballs of everyone.

Did IShowSpeed pull off the iconic Muhammad Ali pose against KSI?

Anyone who’s a hardcore boxing fan must be well-versed in its rich history and Muhammad Ali‘s name is a synonym for the sport itself. As much as the legend is known for his unmatched skills in the ring, he will be forever remembered for a very special moment that has now become probably the most famous picture of all time when it comes to any sport.

Yes, we are talking about the evergreen photo of the American professional boxer, which was taken just when he knocked down Sonny Liston in the ring in 1965. The heavyweight rematch between the two saw Ali emerging victorious. This moment of him celebrating and Liston lying down after getting punched was captured by photographers Neil Leifer and John Rooney.

It looks like unknowingly or knowingly, streamer and gamer IShowSpeed somehow recreated this famous pose of The Louisville Lip. In fact, to prove it with evidence, one Twitter user even shared pictures of both IShowSpeed and the immortal boxer to make a solid comparison.

As one can see, the image on the left shows Speed charging up after tackling KSI in the Sidemen Charity match. While in the image on the right, Ali is celebrating after punching down Liston.

It’s quite an inevitable comparison, as one cannot simply deny the similarity between the two, but the context is obviously different. Talking about the one featuring IShowSpeed, then the historic recreation, unfortunately, didn’t prove to be enough for YouTube All-Stars. Because KSI’s Sidemen FC succeeded in having the last laugh.
