IShowSpeed breaks down in tears after KSI gives him the win IShowSpeed came in quickly for the first round but seemed to hold back when it came to making moves against KSI, instead opting to duck and weave out of the seasoned boxer\u2019s way. Double his size, KSI was unphased by IShowSpeed\u2019s attempted strikes, casually following him around the ring before the first round came to an end. With IShowSpeed catching his breath, KSI showed concern for his rival ahead of the second round, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s all for good fun and games even if he\u2019s struggling to breathe. I might take it easy on him.\u201d As the match continued, KSI encouraged his opponent to make moves before cornering him in the ring and bringing IShowSpeed to the ground. The round concluded with a dance from KSI, IShowSpeed brushing off any interview questions as he prepared to touch gloves one last time. However, the third round came to a halt when IShowSpeed struggled to breathe. \u201cWe can stop\u2026 Come on man,\u201d KSI said, before trying a new technique to fire up his opponent \u2014 referencing IShowSpeed\u2019s previous blunder when he accidentally flashed viewers on stream. These words seemingly worked their magic, as IShowSpeed jumped into action with his first full-powered attack on the professional. But his energy was short-lived and IShowSpeed spent the remaining seconds avoiding KSI before the timer went off. Seeing that IShowSpeed was upset over the match\u2019s outcome, KSI attempted to cheer the YouTuber up, saying, \u201cHow old are you? 18? 19? You showed big heart. It takes a big man to get in the ring with me. Many have tried, many have failed\u2026 I\u2019m proud of you.\u201d Not ready to give up, IShowSpeed tried to continue the match, claiming, \u201cIt\u2019s not over, I said six rounds.\u201d However, KSI instead chose to tap out and give IShowSpeed the win, resulting in the latter breaking down.
