 Oh boy creator clash is all done what a weekend oh my god before this video gets started really quick just because they're only up this week there's a bunch of fun fight merch if you want to get it there's like a poster and some shirts and stuff that my merch company whipped up so fast but they're only available through this week so I thought I'd let you know so there's that if you want to creator clash uh creator class 2 happened and I am still sort of processing all of my thoughts and processing the fight and uh and everything and it's weird it's real weird um first off I just want to thank um Lee obviously um for stepping into the ring with me and allowing me to step in the ring with him um I speak for both of us when I say that like we both worked so hard and I have an immense amount of respect for him um it is not at all easy like let alone the training but just getting into the ring it's not an easy thing at all um and especially when we both are fighting for the first time there's so much stuff that's happening and so many nerves um but I'm I'm so honored to have fought him um and I'm so uh so grateful that uh we got to do this together and go on this little journey and it was wild getting into the ring and having to like actually punch each other and stuff uh but it was so awesome just like having that respect for each other and getting out of the ring and uh being able to have a hug have a drink um and just I don't know it was it was really really cool I could not have asked for a better person to uh to be in the ring with so Lee if you're watching just thank you again so much man it was such a wild weekend and I'm so glad that we got to uh to fight each other which is such a weird thing to say but I just I have an immense amount of respect for you and it was so much fun um and so weird at the same time and very surreal but I'm I'm so so happy that we got to got to fight each other and got to experience this together it was just it was awesome and then secondly before stepping into to everything um I just wanted to express my like immense gratitude towards Ian and Anissa uh and everybody at Real Good Touring who put on the event and did the actual production side of things and made the event what it was there's so many people that just worked their asses off to make this thing possible uh and it was such an amazing event like I I feel like I'm a little bit biased but I feel like it is kind of true like Creator Clash 2 uh I think production-wise as well like it was just miles above Creator Clash 1 they took everything uh that went great with Creator Clash 1 um and made it even better and they took things that didn't work quite as well and just improved everything and I think as an event as a whole uh Creator Clash 2 was just so amazing and it was so cool and again I'm just so honored to be a part of it and be allowed um to fight and be allowed to be a part of the event um Ian and Anissa throughout the entire thing were so so helpful anytime that I had any questions or any concerns I would reach out to them and they were amazing they were just like like two little parents um just making sure that I was comfortable making sure that everybody was safe like checking in um and just being like really great amazing people and super welcoming and inviting and just like I felt so good and so like taking care of um with them and it was just amazing and so I can't I can't sing their praises enough because they are just they work so hard and they deal with so much shit and like I just have so much respect for them for the amazing event that they made um and I'm I'm so excited for future Creator Clashes whether I'm a part of them or not because this thing that they made is incredible and I'm so so pumped to see where it goes but anyway let's talk about Creator Clash let's talk about my fight um so uh if you didn't know for some reason I fought in Creator Clash too the influencer boxing charity event that happened uh over a week ago now which is really weird um but I trained for nine months give or take um I trained with my personal trainer Andre Kim um and then I trained with my boxing coaches uh Grisha uh out of G-Way fitness is my like main coach and then I also worked with uh Christo as well also out of G-Way I am so grateful for all three of them like they they worked my asses off uh as trainers and coaches should but they were also like there for me on the mental side as well helping me get my like mental game in check because at the end of the day when you step into the ring like everybody in there is fit and has worked out and has trained and everything like that but they they helped me a lot get my my mind in the correct place making sure that I was calm making sure I knew what I was getting into making sure that um you know everything that I was feeling was normal and just giving that reassurance and so like two of my coaches obviously like thank you so much for not only training me and kicking my ass and making sure I need to be physically where I am but like being there for me um and helping me through this journey and just like uh bettering me as as a person too because boxing really uh it changes you a lot and a lot of really good ways I feel like I'm more confident now I feel like I carry myself in a different way um and I I owe it all to my my coaches and my trainers for for bringing me along that journey and for trusting me and believing me um it was just insane the entire thing was unreal um it was so so surreal and it's really weird that it's done now like not only that the the event is over and it my fight is over but also that I don't have to train multiple times a day now it's really weird and like getting up and being like wow I don't have to go for a run and then go box and then go lift like I can be a little bit of a normal person again I um I think I'm still gonna keep up with boxing because I really did fall in love with it um I don't know if I'll do creator clash three yet I have to kind of sit in it for a bit I think if I do a creator clash again I think what my mind is sort of set on is like maybe coming back for like creator clash four um but I think you know I a lot of people returned from creator clash one which was awesome and I think a lot of people will want to return from creator clash two but I think it's also really fun having new fighters in um and there's so much that I want to do with YouTube and my channel and other things and in the podcast and everything this year and boxing while it was amazing and the training was awesome it takes up so much time so I think if I do it again for real I don't know if I'll do creator clash through but maybe creator clash four but I do still want to keep up with boxing and train like a couple times a week maybe um and then just also keep my fitness up because I'm the most fit I've been in like years um and I'm really really proud of myself because I worked really really really hard but yeah I started I started training in uh like June or July um all the way up obviously until the fight the last month and a half or so I was training uh six days a week two times a day most days sometimes three times um it was really intense it was really really intense I was uh obviously doing boxing training all the time which includes like hitting the bag hitting pads doing drills I was sparring multiple times a week I was running all the time I was pushing my coach's car I was doing all this stuff sometimes it like felt like a rocky training montage because it felt like specifically like pushing my coach's car like felt particularly the kind of rocky balboa-esque but it was it was really really hard every day I would wake up I would eat I would go train I would come back I would eat I would go train I would come back I would take a nap like it was it was intense there's a lot of stuff that goes into training for a fight that I think people don't really think about where like it's not just going and doing the training there's a lot more that goes into it there's recovery time that you have to account for you have to be eating right you can't drink you can't you know you have to really alter a lot of your life and it becomes like a lifestyle it's not just going to the gym it's like your entire day all the time and I've never been more exhausted in my life than these last like nine months because I would get home from training and be completely exhausted and it felt really good because it was like oh my god I'm working my ass off like I literally can't do anything after that training session like I am so tired I am so exhausted um but it all it all paid off it all paid off um because I won my I won my fight it's so weird I won my fight so all of the training went towards this one weekend um on Friday we did the the press conference in the Wayans which was really fun in the morning we do the uh the official Wayans um and so that you go in in the that morning with the boxing commission and they they give you your weight or you get weighed because we all have to meet certain weight requirements for our fights so my fighting weight was 155 I weighed in at like one I think it was 151.2 or something like that um so you want to try and get as close to the fighting weight as possible which is 155 or it was for me um and then if you're not exactly there so I was underweight I think Lee weighed in exactly a 155 but you have to be within 10 pounds of each other which we were uh so you go in that morning you get weighed by the commission you get like checked over by the commission for health stuff uh and then they use that weight from that morning because a lot of people have to cut weight and so they like aren't eating and stuff like that so they use that official weight in the public way and later on that night which was on s-fans stream uh and the way in was super super fun I was really nervous um I think one because there's like there's a bunch of people uh up on stage because there's 12 fights so there's 24 people in total up on stage so I didn't want to like overstep or talk too much or anything like that and it's also somebody else's stream so I was like I don't know how I should act right now but the way ins were really fun uh we got to do like a little bit of trash talk which was which was fun and like obviously all any of the trash talk at all it's just like I think at least for me seeing everybody else's like it it comes off as like wholesome and sarcastic like you can kind of tell that there's undertones of love and you're just like goofing around with each other uh but we did the weigh ins uh which were super fun and then the next morning were the fights or the next day were the fights but the next morning I woke up I got horrible sleep the entire weekend just because I was so nervous about everything um and so we uh I woke up I went and tried to eat breakfast I ate like a little bit of like yogurt and fruit but I had a really hard time eating uh just because of the nerves um and then honestly the the day of the fight not the night but the the day of was miserable because the fights are the the fights start at 6 p.m. I woke up around 7 ish 7 7 30 the fights start at 6 p.m. but I knew the order of the fights going into it and so I was the third to last fight um I was the 10th fight of the 12 so I knew that I was going to be waiting around all night for my fight to happen and so the day of was miserable because it just felt so slow every minute felt like a year like you just have to wait around all day and you know that it's coming and the day is lasting such a long time I remember it getting to like 11 12 12 o'clock and I was like oh my god it's noon it feels like I've been up forever it's it was awful that just because of all the anticipation and like the nerves start to build up and it starts to get more real um it just it made the last the day last forever but as soon as we got into the arena um the day started to like really go by quick um it felt like we got into the arena we all started getting dressed uh so I was I was in the red corner and so everybody in the red corner has their own uh we all have the same locker room the red corner locker room uh and then there's the blue corner locker room so we were all in the red corner locking locker room and we all got changed into our into our boxing trunks and we all got wrapped by the commission and everything which was also like really it was really cool and a little bit weird but it's all done very officially it's all done by the athletic commission or the boxing commission of florida so they are very very strict about everything so you uh you go and get your hands wrapped by someone from the commission and then they have another person from the commission watching that person wrap your hands and so they wrap your hands and then once your hands are wrapped um you can't eat anything you can't drink anything except for water if you have to go to the bathroom somebody from the commission has to come into the bathroom not like into the stall with you but they come into the bathroom with you to make sure you're not like doing anything sketchy um yeah and then the fight started um and it was there was like this weird sense of comfort because obviously this is my first fight and so I don't know exactly how everything is going to go down this is the first time I'll be getting punched like full force because in sparring I get hit and I started sparring near the end obviously lighter sparring but without headgear to feel what it it would feel like to get hit without headgear because I didn't want to get hit for the first time without headgear in the ring um but this was the first time that I was going to get hit like more or less full force um and so I was like I don't know what this is going to be like but it was kind of comforting seeing everybody go out and fight and come back alive you know like uh I don't I don't know it it was this weird thing of like okay like everyone's coming back fine like and everyone's you know going out there and putting on a good fight and like and again I kind of said this already but I have so much respect for every single person that got in the ring everyone worked their asses off so hard and like win or lose everyone kind of one in a way I know it like sounds kind of cliche but like everyone worked so hard and there was so much mutual respect between everybody that like it really felt like gaining this new little family where everyone just felt so close because of how hard we all worked and we all had that mutual respect and so I just love everybody that was that was a part of it was so much fun but seeing everybody come back alive was kind of comforting and so as the night went on seeing more and more people come back and being like okay they're they're all right this is it's going okay that made my nerves go away a little bit which was which was great and so the night progressed I was able to watch uh they had a a tv in the locker room that had the broadcast on so I was able to watch all of the fights um and then it came to be uh to be my my turn and so the fight before mine I started warming up a bit um doing some pad work with my coach just getting warm not exhausting myself but just getting ready getting stretched out and everything um and then we went into a separate locker room where they like had all the lighting and on the red side it was amaranth and then on the other side it was asfan doing the pre fight interviews um and so did a little pre fight interview with amaranth and then and then we did the walkout which was super super fun um Sean and mark and baby no money walked out with me as well as all my coaches um and my brother as well uh and it was super super super fun so let's just kind of go through my fight real quick because why not so here's the stats of it um there was a big age difference between Lee and I 10 years so I weighed in at 151 even he weighed in at 155 he's 510 I'm 5'8 so he's a little bit heavier a little bit taller here we are here's where primordial primitive grain it happens so it was very weird because as soon as we touched gloves there I was I was nervous very nervous up until that point like all of the nerves faded away and I think I think a lot of that has to do with gymnastics because I did a lot I was a gymnast for 10 years a competitive gymnast and so I had to learn how to just let the nerves go with gymnastics and I think this transferred into boxing is like when you're doing a gymnastics meet you have a job to do like your job is to do your routine um and try and do it to the best of your ability and try and not um psych yourself out and so that's kind of what I tried to do with this was as soon as we touched gloves I was like okay nerves go away like I have a job to do basically we did we did five two minute rounds is what the the fight was slated for um and so also I'm not going to play the fight in in full I'm just gonna kind of give my uh my thoughts on everything and break it down piece by piece a little bit going into it um my coach Grisha he was like I think he's gonna sort of come out swinging um which I think he kind of did honestly like the whole flight the whole fight is a is a blur in my mind but he was like I think he's gonna come out swinging what I want you to do is just move around and kind of try and like exhaust him in the in the beginning like let him throw the punches and you just kind of move around do some defensive jabs um but try and figure him out in the first round you don't want to come out the first round just like swinging for the fences um because you're just going to tire yourself out and the chance of you like getting a knockout round one is like pretty slim that's what I tried to do just do a little head movement do some jabs I was trying to be chill and I was also trying to like stay out of his range a bit because he did have range on me it was weird hearing the the crowd chat uh chant my name was really wild I like didn't really hear it during the fight but seeing everybody gets so pumped during my walk out seeing uh or hearing everybody chant during the fight was really really really surreal and like I know that you guys are like very dedicated and you love me a lot but I didn't expect because this is not my event and because there's so many other people I didn't really expect that kind of support in the ring it was nuts so this right there that's called uh being in the clinch or clinching um so that was something that I think both Lee and I kind of reverted to a little bit it's just kind of a smart thing to do if you're getting overwhelmed so he was throwing a bunch and you just grab on because you're just right there and so it also gives you like a little bit of time to rest but if you're just kind of getting overwhelmed and getting a bunch of punches throwing at you you can just grab onto them and then the ref will separate you and then you can go back in so it's just kind of like a little bit of a strategy and again because I did not have a size advantage that was something that was I guess smarter for me to do I get caught with the right oh I did a little bit something that I didn't like my coach told me that this was gonna happen but you kind of like forget a bunch of stuff and he's he was like you're gonna kind of forget like 60% of your training when you step into the ring that's exactly what happened because during sparring I would throw a lot of punches to the body and a lot of different punches and a lot more combos did not throw like a single combo did not throw a single punch to the body which I'm like god damn it I didn't do a single like liver shot or anything like that I just kind of forgot and so I was really there were a couple uh a couple things here which is why I do think I want to fight again maybe not create a clash 3 but maybe create a clash 4 because I think that I'm a better boxer than this uh because I was really going like kind of haymaker-y sometime but really trying to do the overhand right to get around his reach but I relied like way too heavy on that um and there were times where like it did not uh work well for me uh which I'll show you what I mean by that look and like it oh and Ethan separate again and again Lee and heart give him a little bit oh he just stand in it Charlie yeah he ate it looking like it oh just standing there a little bit Lee and heart give him a little bit of motto there swinging a miss on the right hand Tony you're shaking your head yeah yeah this technique is not not the best I've seen so far tonight he's really short with these punches really short his job but he can't land a job he's never gonna be around the right hook oh there's the bell one sneaks in late there so here we go round two you gotta let him fly here yeah uh none of them wild hooks yeah so I'm there's so many where I was just like whoosh so here's where the overhand right like they're swinging behind the head a lot which I think right here is when I hit Lee on the back of the head like pretty hard yeah so there so that was rough so you can't hit people on the back of the head um this obviously was not intentional because I'm not uh I'm not experienced enough as a fighter to recognize when somebody has turned away that I should pull my punch I just don't have experience in the ring to do that so when I was throwing I was throwing you know so I unfortunately couldn't pull that back um and Lee turned away while I was throwing and so not intentional I didn't see him turn away and then be like oh back of the head it was just he turned away as I was throwing um and I hit him on the back of the head unfortunately uh I feel really bad um and Lee and I talked about it and he was like oh it's fine um yeah so I felt bad obviously like I put my hands up and I was just like ah I'm sorry and then right here I think people thought that I uh I think people thought that I was apologizing for hitting Lee at all because right here I said I'm sorry right there and I think people thought that I was apologizing for punching Lee at all but I said I'm sorry because I hit him on the back of the head and I didn't mean to so and I think that that did like contribute to me ending up winning because like getting hit in the back of the head sucks but it wasn't intentional obviously um and Lee was a super super good sport about that he knew that that wasn't intentional but I was still throwing these these overhand I did try to tuck him in you're right Charlie all right here it is round three this is where it happened so in between this um my coach the entire time he was like just move your head just keep your head moving because he's only punching straight on the line so keep your head off there and then uh he said right here he said double left right which is what I did so I do the jabs so two jabs to just occupy and then I feel like I probably should have just straight but I went around again um to initially knock him off his feet a little bit so here we go so there's the two so as soon as that happened Lee got Lee stumbled a little bit so I know that that hurt him a little bit um and this is where I had to like work against my like instincts a little bit because in sparring you're pulling your punches a little bit um but sometimes you you land a good punch and so when that happens and you see your sparring partner stumble you're supposed to stop um and that's not necessarily true all the time some people spar way heavier but in the sense that I was sparring it was like you know we're doing this for each other's benefits we're not trying to hurt each other so when that happened I was my brain was like okay pull back but then I had to be like no press forward because right now he's dazed so this is where you have to press forward and that's what I did I got him down I got him down baby and then it was called this moment was really really cool um I usually don't like to like show off or anything like that but like I trained so hard um and so winning the fight was just like and I did it moment and you can't see in this shot but all of my friends all of my family were all right there Sean and Mark were right there my parents my brother were right there um it was so cool having them all right in this corner and so being able to go up there and just kind of scream uh was really really really cool and the crowd was like fucking electric double touch with the jab bang on the beautiful shot in our fans we slam cam and again you see a different angle massive shot and Lee and hard had never been hit like that the follow-up came behind it another big shot right behind the year and that was all she wrote the winner of the match by TKO Ethan Nestor and then there's so there's uh Grisha on the right Christo in the center and then Andre on the left and then my boy Justin all the way on the on the right so that was that was the fight and then I kissed Lee on the forehead that was uh that was my fight that was creator clash um again just such a fucking massive thank you to Lee um for getting in the ring I could not have asked for a better opponent like it was so fun and I also was so intimidated by Lee when we first decided when we first accepted the fight because Ian and Anisa uh came to me and they were like what about fighting Lee and Hart and I was very very very intimidated because he's big and he's got big muscles dude um but it was awesome um and this this doesn't happen a lot in my life and I'm working on it in therapy baby um but I'm really really proud of myself I'm really proud of the work that I put into it uh I'm really proud for how dedicated I stayed um I'm really proud of um trying to get a handle on like my mental game on the uh the night of the fight and I'm I'm really proud of um even though there's things I wish I would have changed I am I'm proud of the way that the fight went and I'm I'm proud that I won and I'm I'm proud that I did this thing all in all it was such an amazing event to be a part of um it was so cool so for those of you who watched it on the worldwide web or for those of you who are there in person um thank you so much for being there um it was so amazing uh and if you missed out on it creator clash three um if that happens I'm I'm sure it will but um don't miss that because I'm sure it will be even better than creator clash two I'm so excited to see where this event goes um but again thank you to Lee thank you to Ian and Anisa thank you to everyone at real good thank you uh to all of the other fighters who I have just immense respect for um and thank you to my coaches uh for everything that they did for me um because this is it's you know it's not only a win for me but it's a win for them too because it's just like you know they put in so much time and so much work to train me and so I'm I'm really really happy that I could bring home a win for them um but yeah that was creator clash it's all done I did it I fought in a boxing match what the fuck that's wild that's so weird I fought in a boxing match what anyway I'm gonna end this one here thank you guys for everything I did it I won
