On the evening of April 2, 2022, some of the biggest German Twitch streamers fought against each other in the boxing ring. The event was broadcasted live. The highlight was the fight between Trymacs and MckyTV, which resembled a biblical battle.
This was the boxing evening:
- On Saturday evening from 6:00 PM German time, the big boxing event “The Great Fight Night” took place.
- In 3 fights, 6 German streamers and influencers faced off against each other. Each fight goes a maximum of 6 or 8 rounds of 2 minutes each.
- The viewing took place via the livestream from joyn and in person at the LANXESS Arena in Cologne.
This is how the main fight went: At 9:25 PM, the main fight between Trymacs and MckyTV started. Micky started more on the defensive from the beginning and had to defend hard against Trymacs.
This is probably due to the fact that Trymacs weighs almost 20 kg more and is about half a head taller. And although Trymacs was visibly at an advantage most of the time, Micky proved to be a strong opponent. Both competitors were able to land hits repeatedly.
By the 5th round, you could clearly see the exhaustion of Trymacs and Micky. The punches were coming slowly, both were shining with sweat. However, in the same round, Micky received a hit that made his nose bleed.
Neither of the two fighters went down. The fight went the full 8 rounds and ended with a decision victory. You can watch the recording here on joyn.
Narrow highlight with a clear winner
Who won the fight? The three judges scored the fight after the last round independently with 79 to 73 points for Trymacs. The streamer won 7 out of 8 rounds clearly.
For Micky, however, there was a cotton swab in his nose, as he received a bloody nose in the fight – literally. This had to be tended to between rounds repeatedly.
In the end, however, the two influencers, who share a deep friendship, embraced each other. A rematch has also been announced; this time, they want to fight the full 3 minutes per round against each other.
This is how the other fights went: Starting at 6:05 PM, there were two more fights leading up to the main event. Both went only a maximum of 6 rounds:
- Rumathra vs. Vlesk – victory by points for Rumathra
- Hanky vs. Chefstrobel – TKO victory for Hanky
- Rewi vs. Amar – did not take place for health reasons
Like Micky after him, Vlesk had blood running from his nose during his fight. However, the encounter between Hanky and Chefstrobel was particularly quick. Already after 2 minutes in the 2nd round, Chefstrobel threw in the towel.
The streamer was still too weakened from a previous COVID-19 illness and had no chance. Therefore, the fight was decided by submission.
What did you think of the fights? Did you watch and would you like to see more events of this kind?
Meanwhile, another well-known figure from German Twitch and YouTube speaks about the difficulties of the profession. Kalle warns how exhausting the constant “being live” can become:
