The world of live streaming is a big one in the current times, and IShowSpeed is perhaps the biggest streamer out there at the moment. The 20-year-old has been travelling the United States in his own bus on a 35-day tour across the country. On one of his stops, Speed decided to take part in a boxing match on StreetBeefs and impressed his fans enough for them to determine an opponent for him.
So it was day 27 of his US tour, and IShowSpeed found himself at Seattle’s popular StreetBeefs Scrapyard. He stepped up to take on an enthusiastic fan, which drew a lot of attention on many major online social media platforms. From the opening bell, the popular influencer showed a lot of aggression, showcasing his speed, which he’s known for, and really managed to overwhelm his opponent with a barrage of punches.
The spectators were certainly impressed with the 20-year-old, witnessing his skills and athleticism. He dominated the exchanges early in the first minute of the scrap. Some people thought IShowSpeed might win the fight, but it became evident that his gas tank wasn’t up to the mark. He started to slow down as his opponent also landed some shots of his own.
