Walid vs Deen and Slim vs Salt were two good fights though. Damn I felt for Walid. If there were 2 more rounds in that fight, Walid would've probably got to him. I think they should make the fights 12 rounds. It would be so much better & fights would be much more decisively won. Tommy would've KO'd KSI. Logan would've KO'd Dillon.

[@crimsoncamera7783]

I'm stuck in two minds because I completely understand the point of view that KSI should get a tad more credit giving the supposed level of Fury and how blind he looked in there, however I also agree that the intensity of the clinch from KSI was genuinely pushing it in regards to the ruleset of the sport. I understand that crossover boxing is in its own lane but when you tease the traditional audience and promise certain things you can't be angry when the product isn't up to par and the paying customer has something to say about that. As someone who appreciates crossover for what it is, the Co main/main both have me reconsidering buying the next one.

[@caleb9299]

Because influencer boxing is not about being pro boxers and being a devin haney or gervonte davis. It is about creating entertainment, Storylines, memes and getting people invested. It is about the entertainment before the fight, during the fight and after the fight. How many people are talking about the prime card dayssss after it has concluded. Ryan Garcia and Gervonte are forgotten 1 day after the fight and people move on yet days after the prime card and people are still talking about the event wether it was good or bad.

Can we talk about the one sided ref and commentators? Tommy lost a point for 4 or 5 back of the head shots. Immediately after, KSI clinched and threw 5 consecutive back of the head shots - not even a warning by the ref. Not to mention no point deduction for excessive holding? I mean come on.. the ref warned KSI and then he clinched again seconds later and for the rest of the fight, ref didn't deduct a point or tell him to stop again.

You definitely have some catching up to do in understanding boxing but you clearly have a great talent for it. I would love to see you become a commentator, and that fact that you were willing to call out a terrible fight was so refreshing to any hardcore fans. Please keep with it. I would love to see you bring Max Kellerman on your show and see if you can have a conversation about what it takes be a better commentator.

I was pissed at Dillon but wasn’t surprised we figured he wasn’t training and taking it serious with the all day trolling on twitter but he should care about his fans and not just a payday because to a lot of people that’s pricey to watch Tommy as well for the amount of crap talking he was doing guaranteeing a “spark out” ko he barely punched and performed terribly there is no way he can even come close to being a world champ the way he fights and he knows it that’s why he’s staying in this realm of boxing but actually I feel he’s a perfect fit for this new genre of boxing.

[@rohan4109]

all the shots 'hug'si got were from the clinch. i bet i can do that too ffs

[@DstumpJ]

I thought you did an excellent job, and I'm definitely not your biggest fan Ariel. It was nice to have an educated eye on the fight saying mainly the correct thing. Also side note your interviews with people after the fights and pre fights were brilliant.

[@nicowins]

Lmao hell no. He did an awful job and i used to be a fan

[@Willowz7]

Everything Ariel said before and during the fights were completely true. Everyone was talking "but this but that" but Ariel kept it 100% real. I guess people don't like the honest truth. The main event was unwatchable and Dilon literally showed us he never wanted to fight. simple as that.

[@BigDman69]

Deen the great is 100% the best out of the entire card....he looked sharp and actually looked like a boxer, his opponent was decent too...that should have been the main event

[@chicoche69]

Ariel wasn't a commentator he was a Logan Paul fanboy. Terrible job.

[@flyingfrogofdeath9616]

Totally agree about Tommy. The professional boxer and all he did was clinch and throw dirty punches. All week he diminished the non-boxer, as expected, only to barely win. Even made it difficult for the judges to give it him lmao

[@user-zo4iz2nv5u]

Dillon was right, Ariel always trashing on him

[@jakeoshea5863]

What else are you supposed to say about his performance? It was extremely embarrassing, and looked as if he didn’t even spar with a real person once before the fight

[@tecnogadget2]

Dillon is pure talk no walk

[@user-bq9zy1uf3u]

Your interviewing was a tough watch

[@psychopathichomosapien]

this is why i appreciate real fighter

[@frankieeefinn8798]

Hope Dillon goes back to mma next, maybe a PFL tournament or put him in ufc and feed him cans until he gains more experience, he might end up being like Ryan hall but he might end up being a champ u never know, I wanna find out that’s for sure

[@bkozican]

Landed more punches in the 5 second scuffle with Khabib than the 18minutes in the boxing ring

[@k3nsh0.]

The thing people don't understand is Tommy didn't jab because HE LITERALLY COULDN'T, it was part of KSI and his team's gameplan, sad to see people don't give him enough credit for that

[@Leemide25]

Boxing consists of using jabs, combos etc.. very hard for a boxer to box professionally if someone’s bouncing about and flying across the ring swinging. A lot of boxers hold when there’s no position to have room to jab etc. as for the fight before misfits needs to close before something bad happens

[@gedkenny2009]

I think the 6 round stipulation, was a main ingredient of the KSI game plan. It was to go for the hard hitting punches, and hope one actually connects flush and wobbles/KOs Tommy. But, when he misses, then to always go for the clinch in order to keep Tommy from actually being able to box. Once in the clinch, if/when Tommy does something wrong (like back of the head shots, etc) then to complain to get points deduction. This way, KSI only needs to guarantee 3 rounds to win on points. That's why after round 3, and his trainer told him he had won the first 3 rounds, he made sure and clinched a hell of a lot more, thinking he already had it in the bag. I think this was the same kind of game plan he used on Jake Paul fight, too. This should of been an 8 round fight, and should of included some actual boxing skills. Without those it was a pure money grab, and a hope from KSI to beat a professional boxer by not having it such.

[@rouge77xzny47]

Loved your insight 100% unbiased you got everything on the money!

[@youtuberabbithole6002]

Lol I forgot about the tag team boxing match😂

[@Nickander31]

I thought you did fantastic commentating, Ariel!. You are very articulate and I enjoy listening to your insight.

[@egyptsy9563]

main fight was gash , dillons fight was better than that , i am gutted he didnt engage more, he really could of quite easily made himself look good , i really think that. and Ariel your commentating and talk is always good :)

[@declan92100]

Ariel "I think people need to understand what they're watching" Ariel while commentating "This is unwatchable"

[@Lezzyboy87]

Why did the last round of logan dillon last 13 seconds longer thannit should have, because it was a fix.

[@tjallday95]

1.3 mil PPV buys is a great look for Misfits

[@trash-edits4666]

I think Dillon danis was training on fight night, blud thought he was facing issac frost 😂😭🤣

[@lumeaeamea1]

I agreed with Arial's take. I was thinking exactly the same thing above these fights.

[@SuperMattiaskarlsson]

I think Dillon did good. Hes first boxing match and after round 2 i was actully impressed and i thought he was going to win.

[@Adam-uz9sc]

Crazy how KZbinrs can beat mma fighters at boxing just shows bigger guys always win

[@victorjuarez2295]

Great job 👏
