by Josh McCrohon @JoshMcCrohon57Welcome to the first episode of the Boxing Analysis in 2018! This won’t be a round-by-round breakdown of professional boxing, this will be a round-by-round breakdown of amateur boxing - a first for this site! This is the Boxing Analysis of the biggest sporting event on YouTube: KSI vs. Joe Weller. Round 1: The fight starts off with KSI going for the win straight away while Weller blocks. Weller is remaining on the blocking side while KSI is still throwing punches. Weller throws 2 punches and goes back to blocking which is a good strategy, but not at the right time of the fight. Weller throws a few punches which push KSI back but not for long, KSI still in control. KSI is making Weller stagger, but it isn’t long until Weller gets KSI against the ropes. KSI hits a great looking uppercut which bursts Weller’s lip open. They exchange punches but it’s still KSI who is leading. My Thoughts: Great first round from both men. Weller did hit KSI but should’ve did more to capitalise, whereas KSI didn’t give up and kept pushing forward. Weller isn’t looking good at this round. Round Winner: KSI Round 2: The referee stops the fight as there’s a gum shield on the canvas then the fight continues. KSI has Weller in a frontface headlock which gets broken up. KSI hits a nice right hook, Weller retaliates with a nice jab of his own. There’s some body shots exchanged and they both hit face shots. Weller isn’t blocking as much as he did in the first round - is that a mistake? KSI goes for a BIG right hook but Weller ducks - if he hadn’t, this fight might be over. My Thoughts: This fight has been explosive. Well done to both men. Round Winner: KSI Round 3: KSI comes out swinging from the get go and knocks Weller’s mouthguard out. Weller gets a new moutguard from his team. KSI hits an uppercut but Weller replies with a jab. KSI hits a beautiful combination and Weller receives a standing count - he’s still going strong. KSI has got Weller against the ropes and hits another combo. Weller gets another standing count. KSI hits another combo and the referee calls the fight off. KSI is victorious. That was a great fight. KSI clearly knew what he was doing throughout this fight and was controlling the direction. Weller was prepared for this fight however he wasn’t ready for KSI. You can’t really argue with that result.
