Billy Blaggs
Flacco of the Blaggs tribe
I watched it with my American family so it was very satisfying just to rub it in
They shit talked from as soon as Logan knocked him down.

Without headgear it has to be professional. Only the amateurs wear the headgear. I thinkWhy was this fight considered professional and not just amateur?
The boxing commission should have asked both of them to fight a professional boxer for a license before they have their pay per view. They'd have high tailed it right out.Imagine spending your entire childhood in the gym when your friends were all out getting pissed and having a great time, putting your love life on hold to tour the amateur circuit, staying in crappy B&Bs before fighting in front of ten people and getting rabbit punched and elbowed by some Joe Bloggs every month, spending years training training training every day, putting your body under such incredible strain that you already know by the time you hit 40 you'll have arthritis and possibly severe head injuries, only for all of your hard work to go unnoticed because everyone is too busy tuning into Sky Sports and listening on BBC 5Live to some guy who shouts when he plays FIFA try and sloppily bitch slap some twat who wore a Pikachu hat once.
They don’t wear head gear in amateur anymore either and the scoring is 10 point rounds too. They wear smaller gloves in the pros so knockouts are much more common. In amateur there is a no bleeding rule too so it’s generally less violent. Amateur bouts are 3 rounds whilst pros 4 - 12 rounds. The pace in amateur boxing is often more frenetic because of that.Without headgear it has to be professional. Only the amateurs wear the headgear. I think
Kids can brag that my YouTuber is better than your YouTuber.Maybe I’m showing my age but I can’t wrap my head around it. What is the appeal of watching two you tubers with limited boxing ability fight each other? On PPV none of the less. I don’t begrudge any one making a lot of money as long it’s honest but to think these two prats have probably just pocketed more money for some low level farcical fight than probably a vast majority of world champions ever has is bewildering. I thought reality tv was the low bar of entertainment but clearly the bar can be set lower. I understand admiring someone for being a great actor, singer, athlete etc but what exactly makes these lads have millions and millions of fans? I’d never heard of Logan Paul until he was in the papers for that suicide video and I remember ksi popping up on my YouTube recommendations years ago for opening Fifa packs, and playing Fifa while screaming and lobbing his chair around. Next thing I know a video pops up of him getting a Lamborghini shrink wrapped, I was genuinely shocked. Fair play to them I guess, making millions of pounds for providing such crap in return. It’s a sadder reflection on society than it is on them.
Miserable old fart here too. A lot of reality tv baffles me, and I suppose this was just an extension of that.Maybe I’m showing my age but I can’t wrap my head around it.

I barely remember him throwing a punch tbh. Only remember Logan throwing 2 good hits in a 6 rounds. KSI seemed to be hitting him pretty much most of the fight and landed some dangerous shots, a real boxer probabaly would have flattened ksi though if he left himself open like that with a lot of his punches.No way KSI won that fight imo.
This will be the end of YouTube boxing. Not really sure where they can go from there? KSI's beat the biggest YouTuber he could. Jake Paul maybe but I dunno if the appeal for a KSI vs the Pauls is there.
He is at least a boxer. Has had professional fights, Tyson Fury's brother, is trained by Ricky Hatton.What's this shite about that tommy fury out of love island wanting to fight KSI ... Even called it a big fight
Yeah, but I mean, an actual boxer offering an internet kid a fight and acting like it would actually be a proper match is a bit moronicHe is at least a boxer. Has had professional fights, Tyson Fury's brother, is trained by Ricky Hatton.

Thread just sort of reads like an echo chamber of people moaning about something that they’re totally not the target audience for.To be fair there has been worse journeymen than KSI

The average Billy "Joe" just got millions of followers and watchers because of his undercard fight, do you think anyone would have even watched any of those 8 undercard fights had it not been for this event aside from Billy Joe? This event put millions of eyes into some young fighters like Devin Hanley, Alfredo Alvarez.Yeah speaking as a non-boxing fan myself, I don’t see how this is good for the ‘sport’. It’s good for celebrity boxing where people pay to see well known plebs knocking the shit out of each other. Doubt the actual viewership will increase to any degree that would help the average Joe struggling to make it on the circuit.
Logan filmed a hanged man, edited it and posted it on YouTube. The guy isn't likeable in the slightest.Never thought I'd say this but I find Logan Paul weirdly likeable, 2 well known cnuts in the grand scheme of things but Logan has something endearing about him in like a WWE style villain kinda way or something. Will be some nice cheap entertainment to watch in the morning, gonna try and find a river and not check who won, have a feeling it's not gonna last very long.

Like I said before, KSI and Logan could have been doing anything, they are multi millionaires. Most people their age would be turning to drug abuse like most child stars after success, they chose boxing and to go through the intense training. They are a role model to millions like it or not and they are introducing youth to the sport instead of fecking up their lives. Maybe you're bashing the wrong celebrities.
Fecking genius.
You have 10,000 posts on a Man United forum, get off your high horse from not watching a celebrity boxing match.And I think your fandom is blinding you to the obvious.
That particular fighter got a boost, good for him, but broader point stands. As these two moves on with their new hobbies, so do their fans, they follow the person, not the sport (I detest professional boxing btw, so it makes no difference to me whether it’s doing well or not). The average teen following their channel will continue on with their lives not watching another fight unless they are involved.
They know how to sell themselves and make money, good for them, go to town. I’ve never watched a single KSI/Logan Paul video and don’t intend to anytime soon, so I don’t begrudge them their success, so you can spare me the ‘they could’ve ruined their lives partying’. My only interest in this thread comes from watching adults acting out their inner child, that’s it.
10000 post in 7 years, that’s about 4 a day FYI, and most of them in the CE/General.You have 10,000 posts on a Man United forum, get off your high horse from not watching a celebrity boxing match.
It was every sky sports ad break for the last month leading up to it, and was on sky sports box office.They showed highlights from this on Sky Sports News. Fecking disgrace
Yeah absolutely. I found him the more likeable of the two during the press conference "WWE style BS", as in he seemed likeable in the cheesy villain role during those to me, but no doubt as I said the two of them are cnuts and Logan is by far and away the worst of the two for what he did. I in no way can condone any of that bullshit, and can never truly forgive anyone doing something as grotesquely cruel as that. That act should never be forgotten.Logan filmed a hanged man, edited it and posted it on YouTube. The guy isn't likeable in the slightest.
So, you'd say you are type who buys into current internet hype? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I mean we all buy into things in our own way. But it's worth thinking about...Yeah absolutely.

KSI was funny when he did FIFA, unfortunately he disappeared up his own arsehole long ago. It’s all manufactured bollocks.For someone who is a 'fan' of KSI and absolutely loathes Logan this is one of the funniest things I've seen for a while
Don’t really care about any of that stuff tbf.KSI was funny when he did FIFA, unfortunately he disappeared up his own arsehole long ago. It’s all manufactured bollocks.
