    Please read: I believe Logan Paul and KSI deserve our respect.

    As much as we can make fun of them for looking a bit out of their element in a boxing ring, they did got rid of the headgear and went for it again, mano a mano.

    Both of them as boxers, are nowhere near the skills and athleticism required to fight full 12 round championship fights, we can agree on that, sure.

    But none of us should care about that.

    Did they do it for creating a bigger buzz around themselves?

    Of course, attention is how they're both making a living...right?

    For the money?

    Well, why not? Getting punched in the face for free doesn't make any sense.

    Was it entertaining while it lasted?

    I think so. That exhibition match, as awkward as it was, ended up being far more interesting/entertaining than the Championship match of Billy Joe Saunders.

    Who knows? Maybe some of their audience(who MAYBE aren't in their best physical shape) saw what transpired in that ring last night and told themselves:

    "Hey, bet I can do better than them. I'm gonna find a boxing gym and give it a go...don't know till I try."

    As crazy as it sounds, some of their subscribers do look up to them. Sometimes parents don't give their kids the attention they need and the first place they look for it is the inter webs. They see a video, like the person/content provided and comeback later for more.

    Some people in this life besides children, they cannot seem to catch a break no matter how hard they work for it. Happiness is such a foreign concept to them because of circumstances outside of their hands.

    So if watching a video from any of these two individuals gives them a bit of joy, more power to them.

    I'm sure there has to be one or two who feel like that inside the 20 million subscribers each of them have.

    Also, you could tell from their physique that both trained hard for this fight.

    I do wanna ask you people who did watched the 1st fight...

    Did their boxing skills improved? Even if it was a small portion?

    I never saw their first bout, and I have never seen a video of Logan Paul and KSI on any platform. I don't even know what exactly they did to become famous.

    But sure as hell, they got my respect.

    I hope they got yours too

      Of course they did. They don't deserve our continued interest in their boxing career's however. There was an opportunity for that but both guys came up short. They are respected however.

            Maybe if they donated a substantial amount of their purse to a deserving charity I could respect them but no. You think anyone here regardless of skill wouldn't box someone of equal lack of skill for a cool million dollars? Nothing noble about any of this ****.

              They don't NEED IT!

              Boxing Fans/Hardcore Boxing Fans Communities are TINY compared to their Fans and Demographic they're able to reach on youtube alone! They don't NEED the Approval of us Hardcore Boxing Fans obviously. Hell we don't even give the Professional Boxers their proper respect most of the time. Boxing Fans are Miserable F#cks as seen on this forum Daily

              Both are huge stars with a huge following on the biggest platform on the internet in which something crazy like 5 Billion Videos are watched on youtube Daily. So yeah, they don't NEED us at all!

              Both looked physically in better shape than BJS Last Night so they clearly put in the work and do the proper training even tho both Gas by the 2nd Round. Boxing is just not easy

                Agree with everything you stated.

                Sure, they don't need boxing fans approval.

                Despite who they are or what they do, I respect them for getting in the ring and throwing hands.
