Was that a liver shot? Manny Pacquiao and IShowSpeed did a friendly sparring.
Here’s what happened when American content creator IShowSpeed and world boxing champ Manny Pacquiao got into sparring.
American Vlogger IShowSpeed is here in the Philippines and in his visit, he was able to meet the world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. Darren Jason Watkins Jr. aka IShowSpeed has arrived in the Philippines and visited the slums of Manila.
He was immediately swarmed by kids and fans alike and in a previous article, a video of IShowSpeed eating siopao went viral because of his reaction when he was told that the bun’s meat is from a “meow-meow”. It was just a joke and he was later on reassured that it was just pork meat.
He also visited Manny Pacquiao in his massive home and in that encounter, he challenged Pacman to do a sparring with him.
The moment was recorded and obviously, they were avoiding hitting each other in the face. In the first minutes, Pacman just deliberately allowed Speed to hit him with five consecutive shots in the body several times before giving him the brutal punch that got him floored.
It was watched by a significant crowd and a huge streaming audience online. The sparring session lasted around three minutes. It ended with Pacquiao lifting Speed from the floor and hugging him after.
According to some people online, it was a liver shot which, if given with full force, can cause extreme pain. Although it was just a friendly sparring, it’s the legendary boxer he was faced with.
Watch below:
Pacquiao is the only eight-division world champion in boxing history and he won 12 major world titles in his record-breaking career.
Meanwhile, as of this writing, Speed has over 29 million subscribers on YouTube, more than 24 million followers on Instagram, and more than 29.4 million followers on TikTok.
