Fantastic if albeit short look at KSI's Boxing Journey
undeadfearz13 August 2018
2017 was the year of disstracks, 2018 is so far the year of boxing. Whilst the US YouTube scene most likely inspired the UK wave of disstracks, the opposite has happened with boxing. When KSI and Joe Weller broke records and announced a new era for YouTube back in February, the world saw that the UK could still influence the rest, with Logan Paul accepting JJ's challenge to a boxing match after quite frankly hammering Weller an L. August 25th will see KSI and his brother ComedyShortsGamer, otherwise known as Deji, box Logan Paul and Jake Paul respectively. The potential views will be insane, but not before KSI has had another big hit in the form of his documentary, 'Can't Lose'.

The hour long film shows an insight into how JJ prepared for the previous fight against former-friend Joe Weller, including behind the scenes footage of his training, as well as interviews with his close friends, ranging from his boxing trainer Vidal Riley to his parents. JJ himself has shown a much truer version ever since returning from his break early last year, but with 'Can't Lose' you can really see into the man behind the 18 million subscribers.

A couple of moments in particular stand out; without going into too much detail, the pure state of KSI before the fight was extremely interesting to see, as well as the way the documentary ends before the credits roll.

The editing, camera work and music are also all great, the director does a brilliant job. Would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of either KSI the Sidemen or just of boxing in general.

On an ending note, it does concern me how Logan Paul will analyse the documentary, and what he might manage to learn from it, but we will see August 25th.

A model and an example
ni_dejong11 August 2018
I myself have been watching KSI ever since his first videos on Youtube when he started off playing FPS games ( CoD & Halo ) in 2009 before he became the biggest Fifa Youtuber of all time.

His persona on Youtube made him the ultimate entertainment machine that couldn't be stopped till this day. He went from being a "nerdy" gamer to being an actor, comedian, musician and ultimately an amateur boxer wanting to make it pro.

I've been following every step of his first boxing experience up to his upcoming boxing match with Logan Paul and I must say that I underestimated the amount of time and effort he puts into this. Even though this is "just amateur boxing", his whole lifestyle and physique changed in the last couple of months.

What you see in this amazing documentary is a journey of how someone is literally in blood, sweat and tears every single day pushing himself to the limit to become the better version of what he once was.

I hope a lot of his fans / viewers especially the younger audience will learn from this and will look up to KSI.

Detailed insight into the mind of KSI
hughjarsole11 August 2018
The camera work is sharp, the documentary is very well made and gives context and insight into how KSI thinks and the journey he's gone on from KSI the "actor" to KSI the boxer. Looking forward to a follow-up if he can overcome the challenge of Logan Paul in a few weeks.

Background music?
Please can someone come up with the names of the background music used throughout this doc. You people who only listen to mainstream garbage have no idea how it's like only being able to enjoy serious music when you workout.
