KSI isn’t an inexperienced boxer, having fought Tommy Fury and others, so he was expected to dominate Speed easily. However, despite his lack of experience, the Ohio streamer showcased his boxing skills, landing punches. But he fell short, as throughout the 4 rounds they fought, KSI was landing significantly huge strikes.
As the rounds went on, Speed’s energy dropped after taking many body shots. Meanwhile, KSI stayed in control throughout the fight. In the fourth round, seeing Speed visibly hurt, KSI tapped out, securing him the win.
