IShowSpeed burst into tears and pleaded for another scrap after being battered by KSI.<\/p>\n
The feuding YouTubers organised a sparring session to settle their differences and it emphatically went the way of KSI, who dropped Speed three times inside four of the scheduled six rounds. With Speed wincing in the corner, the influencer boxer praised his foe\u2019s \u201ctenacity\u201d and even gave him the \u2018victory\u2019 by tapping the canvas.<\/p>\n
The fallen Speed wasn\u2019t having anything of it though and wanted to go again with KSI, who opted not to wear a headguard. He said: \u201cNot like that, I\u2019m not playing, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

He burst into tears and began yelling at KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji. He repeatedly shouted \u201csix rounds\u201d as KSI confidently strode around the ring looking slightly bemused by his rival\u2019s meltdown.<\/p>\n
The public spar drew a withering response from KSI\u2019s old rival Jake Paul, who impressively knocked out Andre August in the first round of their fight in Florida. Asked for his thoughts on the KSI-Speed spar, Paul said: "I don't know, I don't care. He's chasing views as a 30-year-old man and I'm chasing legacy and belts. All kudos to him, I hope he makes his wildest dreams come true."<\/p>\n

Some fans also weren\u2019t impressed by KSI\u2019s dust-up, with one saying: \u201cJake just knocked out a pro boxer while KSI is playing fighting with little kids. Levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cI felt bad for Speed cause he didn't want to quit. I get where he's coming from and I also get where KSI is coming from. But at the same time give this man his rounds even if he's getting beat up, he wants to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third added: \u201cFeel bad for him [Speed], he probably never expected to get knocked down. The spar shouldn't have happened the way it did and KSI should have gone a bit lighter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another commented: "I appreciate that KSI stopped the spar when he did. I wish he went a little easier on him but Speed should absolutely take this time, work on his skills and hopefully fight on card one day."<\/p>\n
