BOXING fans have hit out at promoter Eddie Hearn for guaranteeing a knockout in KSI’s points win over Logan Paul.
The Brit won the battle of the Youtube kings on Saturday night after his fight against the American went the distance.

KSI was pushed down to the canvas in the fourth, but that was about as close to the knockout that Hearn promised in the build-up to the scrap.
Before the fight, Hearn said on video: “Someone’s getting knocked the f*** out. 100 per cent.
“I promise you it won’t go six rounds. Impossible.”
Now fans are blaming the Matchroom promoter for over selling the scrap in a desperate attempt to flog more tickets.
One said: “Also, Eddie Hearn guaranteed a KO about 639 times in the press conferences.”
Another added: “You promised a KO @EddieHearn.”
A third said: “Eddie Hearn just clickbaited us with a guaranteed knockout.”
And one other person added on social media: “Eddie Hearn scammed us all promising us a knockout, gotta respect he finessed us all.”
Meanwhile over 11,000 people tuned in to watch the fight… through the reflection of someone’s glasses.
With the crackdown of illegal streams in recent years most were left stumped when it came to options.
But all was not lost with one man showing the fight through the reflection of his glasses.
He amazingly set up a live stream on Youtube and filmed himself watching the fight, allowing others to see the boxers inside the ring.
