Saturday night, Olajide “KSI” Olatunji eked out a split decision over rival Logan Paul in the rematch between Youtube stars. On Twitter, fighters, Youtube content creators and fight fans all had something to say on the spectacle.
The six-round boxing rematch two of Youtube’s top content creators, with over 40 million subscribers between them, was every bit the gong show that people anticipated. Filled with dramatics, controversy and some sheer insanity, it was still nonetheless one of the biggest fight events of the year – a true sign of the times. Of course, no one could overcome their morbid curiosity and naturally, they took to Twitter to discuss the circus.
i hope after the fight, ksi and logan paul can hang out and be friends. but then again the last time somebody was hanging with logan it didn’t end well so

Jesus. Logan Paul and KSI are both making 900k each. God damn. I can’t imagine how Saunders feels and 3/4 of the UFC roster feels along with others.

Also, by far, the youngest crowd I’ve ever seen at a combat sports event. Lots of kids brought here by their parents.

JONATHAN BATISTA LAYS ON THE CANVAS IN AN OBVIOUS FLOP, GETS UP, FIGHTS FOR 30 SECONDS, AND DECIDES TO FIGHT ONCE THE ROUND ENDS.
What a bum. I love this card. Perfect co-main to this madness.

never discount professional boxing’s ability to embarrass itself without the help of anyone who’s ever been on YouTube. #KSILoganPaul2
