Day of the Fight.
- 0:28: Logan Paul enters to his diss track.
- Clad in a black sequined robe and a black face mask version of his brother's mask, he presents a striking image. It is difficult to discern how the crowd reacts to this moment.
- Outlined against the American flag, and outside his robe, Paul presents an image of an American icon.
- 5:53: A montage of KSI training leads into a splash screen of the fight's promotional poster.
- 6:17: KSI enters, also to his diss track.
- Branding himself as "The Nightmare", KSI wears a Union Jack robe and a full black face mask. One announcer notes with trepidation that the mask is "sinister."
- 8:27: Match is officially announced.
- 9:53: Logan Paul is introduced as "America's number one YouTube star", but further as an "actor, recording star, video superstar." In contrast, KSI is introduced as "the U.K.'s number one social media superstar."
- 12:20: The referee explains the rules as the fighters face up in gladiatorial style. The stains from Jake Paul's blood are visible on his shirt.
- 12:59: First round begins.
- Paul's longer reach clearly controls the first round, with several unanswered attacks.
- Later in the round, Paul lowers his hands and begins taunting KSI. This is a power move; when KSI tries to take advantage of his arrogance, Paul smashes back with a devastating salvo.
- 17:12: Second round begins.
- This round again belongs to Paul, but KSI begins taking advantage of clinching to neutralize Paul's reach.
- One announcer claimss that KSI "needs to go into beast mode", a problematic term associated with former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
- KSI lands a late punch seconds after the bell rings, causing Jake Paul to enter the ring. Any potential fight is quickly dissipated.
- 21:30: Third round begins.
- KSI is immediately given a warning concerning his punch in between rounds.
- The fight begins to swing toward KSI, with KSI launching awkward haymakers and making space inside Paul's inner guard to attack the body. Paul is now clinching to force KSI to keep his distance.
- Paul uses his wrestling experience to take KSI down to the ground at one point, and the referee immediately pulls the two apart and has a word with them.
- 26:18: Fourth round begins.
- This round is more neutral, with no concise victor. The crowd continues to be on KSI's side, chanting, "Fuck you Logan!"
- 30:29: Fifth round begins.
- Though KSI appears to have more energy remaining, Logan's patience and reach allow him to take advantage of a few key openings. Overall, this is another inconsequential round.
- Throughout the event, influential YouTuber Keemstar's anti-Paul chants have been audible on the live-stream. At this time, we can hear him chanting, "Logan's fading."
- 34:35: The sixth and final round begins; both fighters exhaustedly stagger out of their corners.
- This round alternates between KSI launching wild haymakers and a clearly exhausted Paul forcing KSI to clinch so he can stay upright. Neither fighter is able to offer any finishing combination, and eventually the judges must decide who is the victor.
- 43:18: After an extended period of deliberation, the judges announce that the fight is a majority draw at 57-57.
- Given that there was already a second fight confirmed, it is unclear whether this ruling is somehow rigged. One announcer seems to agree, skeptically asking, "doesn't that set up perfectly?"
- 44:18: KSI gives his post-fight interview, seemingly unable to believe that it has been a draw.
- 44:39: "There's only one thing we can do. I think we gotta have a rematch." -KSI
- Smiling, Paul strides over to KSI. When asked if he accepts the challenge, Logan responds that "it's what the people want." Despite the fact that both fighters are publicly contractually obligated to fight again, framing it as a choice lets the myth continue.
- 46:48: "Earlier this year especially, a lot of people were questioning your heart. There can be no questioning your heart right now." -True Geordie to Logan Paul
- Paul has battled his way to reforming his image, even to a skeptic like True Geordie.
- 47:25: A seemingly bitter Paul taunts KSI for his injuries, and KSI follows suit.
- Just a few moments later Paul yells, "The storyline continues!" Acknowledging the immaturity as manufactured is another way Paul separates his true self from the annoying YouTube idol.
- 48:22: Logan Paul publicly thanks KSI for allowing him a chance to be forgiven.
- During this speech, Paul also acknowledges he has not earned forgiveness yet. The journey must continue.
