It’s just gonna be a question of who gasses first tbh. I don’t think either of them has the ability to land a good KO. Logan will gently caress him up in a clinch (wrestling exp) and also has more range, KSI has home crowd advantage and experience in the ring, it’s anyone’s game. Got 20 quid on Logan to win but hope KSI beats his rear end, either way I can’t lose.

I mean doing any sort of prediction in a match with so much unknown is tricky. We have one recorded fight for KSI, and none for Logan. We know their approximate size and weight and we have a few things that we can kind of sort of get a read on how they might relate to a boxing match, but it's tough to say. Logan Paul certainly did wrestling, but most of that is irrelevant for boxing, except for a little bit of standup wrestling that's only really useful if you're trying to do inside work. Inside work like that is not really viable at such a low skill level and it would entirely go against Logan's physical advantages to try it so I think the wrestling thing has no bearing at all except for informing us that Logan Paul is physically capable of performing as a lean muscle athlete.

But how this all comes across in the ring is tricky to say. Maybe Logan Paul is surprisingly powerful puncher, or maybe he has a glass jaw. Maybe one of them is going to throw everything early and gas out immediately. Either one of them could have over trained. One of them could be injured. Anything is game.

He says he wasn't getting paid enough.

Unconfirmed but there's a rumour that his pay was cut like 75% shortly before the fight but I haven't found an article sourcing that.

Some people are saying that it's just an excuse and that he actually just didn't like what he saw.

Here's a higher quality video:

On balance it's probably the best thing he could've done for his career. Hes gone from fighting on a random pbc undercard slot to the number 1 trending topic on twitter.

I mean, nobody commenting about him on twitter is interested in the continuing career of Curtis Harper and I doubt people are going to try to book an average heavyweight journeyman on the back of the one time he didn't fight and caused a scene.

Certainly not as a boxer but being a living meme might pay better than being a journeyman heavyweight-and addition to like, bricklaying or bouncing at a strip club or whatever else he does for a day job, these days.

Do you reckon these guys are just going to have a massive adrenaline dump if they aren't used to this sort of pressure. I can't imagine going from never having fought to this level of attention/hype.

But why would they spend the money on him? The nine-year-olds who love these guys don't know or give a gently caress about Michael Buffer.

My guess is one of the Pauls paid his fee so they could be announced by him.
