How did the boxing match come about? During a conversation between the two, Trymacs claimed he would knock Micky out. The conversation escalated and the small banter actually led to both training for weeks and engaging in a boxing match.
Actually, the fight was already scheduled for last year. However, Trymacs got injured and broke his collarbone.
At the press conference before the fight, Micky and Trymacs talked about their expectations and backgrounds regarding the fight. We’ll embed the YouTube video here:

Rules of the Boxing Match
How does the match proceed? The two super heavyweights will compete in a total of 8 rounds. Each round lasts 2 minutes.
Normally, rounds in professional boxing last 3 minutes. And even though that may sound short, 2 minutes is already a significant challenge for body and mind. The number of rounds varies from fight to fight. 8 rounds are quite normal.
If the fight goes the full 8 rounds, a points system will decide the winner. Unblocked hits to the head and upper body count. The decision regarding a hit lies in the hands of 3 judges who independently count the hits.
The winner of a round receives 10 points, while the loser receives 9 points. If the loser of a round goes to the ground (knockdown), there is an additional point deduction. The winner always receives 10 points.
A KO (knockout) can end the fight earlier. If a fighter is unable to be ready to fight again within 10 seconds after a knockdown, it is considered a KO.
If the fight is stopped or a contestant gives up, it leads to a T.K.O. – a technical knockout.
A disqualification of a fighter is also possible, which is not considered a knockout. If one of the fighters does not adhere to the rules and repeatedly delivers illegal low blows, the referee can disqualify a fighter.
Are there any further events planned? Even beforehand, Trymacs and Micky announced a rematch. The second fight will see both streamers with the full 3 minutes per round.

If you are under 18 but over 16, you need a “Muttizettel” to enter the hall. If you are younger, you need a “Muttizettel” and an adult supervisor over 18. One supervisor may oversee a maximum of 2 people under 16.
Fights between amateurs are hard to predict. Trymacs seems to have the physical advantage, being taller and heavier.
However, if he relies too much on his strength, he could run out of breath quickly, and Micky will take the advantage. Techniques of punching and movement also play an important role.
Colleague MontanaBlack is already hyped for the fight and places his bets on Trymacs:
Monte even made a bet of €10,000 with streamer colleague xRohat – both want to donate their potential winnings (via twitter.com).
