IShowSpeed has once again managed to break the limits of internet pandemonium, this time by hosting an 'e-boxing' event - where fans faced off and 'boxed one another' over Discord for real prize money. Yes, virtual punches were thrown, wins were claimed, and in some way or another, a chat app was the new boxing ring.
In typical Speed style, the event was all at once entertaining, baffling, and just a little bit crazy, leaving the web aghast - what will he do next? As predicted, the event was absolute chaos, with fans frantically flailing at their monitors while Speed screamed commentary like a ringside broadcaster on Red Bull.
Some contestants went at it 'very' seriously, bobbing and weaving in their own rooms like they were in a world title bout - while others appeared to be swatting at imaginary bugs.
Whether this was the future of combat sports or merely another ridiculous Speed experiment, one thing was for sure: nobody had any clue what was happening, but everybody was having a good time. As soon as the video went viral, someone (@BillPrinter00) took to his X account and commented:
"This is the most cooked thing I’ve saw today icl"
One viewer nicely encapsulated the internet's reaction, calling this the most 'cooked' thing they'd seen all day - and in all fairness, they weren't wrong. Seeing people throw air punches on Discord for actual money felt more like a chaotic free-for-all and less like an event.
But in IShowSpeed style, the pandemonium was precisely what made it so much fun.
The internet got to experience another glorious IShowSpeed meltdown moment to fanboy about. Fans overflowed social media with comments ranging from sheer bafflement to total appreciation of how Speed somehow transformed 'Discord voice chats' into a boxing ring.
Genius or insanity? Frankly, it was quite likely both - but what is certain is that the reaction was every bit as exciting as the spectacle itself. So, let's take a dive.
Netizens have reacted to IShowSpeed’s virtual boxing
A few fans were quick to spin the mayhem into humor, quipping that perhaps virtual boxing would be the new Olympic sport. Others just shrugged at the craziness, saying at this point -
"Yeah, we never getting flying cars." a user joked.
"wtf speed is hosting? An e-boxing event," another user sarcastically commented.
"Me jumping through the screen for the RKO," a netizen hilariously expressed with a humoorous GIF
A few fans went light-hearted, laughing at the randomness of the incident and asking themselves how Speed managed to come up with new ways of testing the boundaries of online entertainment. Others simply went with it, regarding Discord boxing as a perfectly acceptable thing in the ever-chaotic universe of IShowSpeed:
"Why he got druski to participate," a folk commented.
"Im i at the zoo?," a user hilariously commented.
"this some type of shii that would've happened during the covid lockdowns," a netizen wrote.
Some people were also present in the comment section, basically the peanut gallery who just commented for the sake of commenting:
"It was sort of interesting. Mostly cringe. He gotta wait for the metaverse to start something like that," a user joked.
"Bro is running out of ideas," another netizen wrote.
In signature IShowSpeed style, this event was complete nonsense - and precisely that's why everybody loved it. With virtual punches flying and actual prize money up for grabs, the mayhem captivated fans and left them perplexed in roughly equal proportion. And if Speed is conjuring up something as crazy as this on a typical day, nobody knows what hair-brained scheme he's going to throw the internet next?
