"Speed gets gassed super quick" - Adin Ross explains why he would overpower IShowSpeed in a boxing match
IShowSpeed and Adin Ross' friendship has experienced some fractures over this year. On April 11, 2023, the Kick ambassador revealed that IShowSpeed's manager had advised him to distance himself from the streamer because of his contentious behavior.
The following month (on May 30, 2023), Ross lambasted the YouTube star and his manager, exclaiming:
"You're a liar, Darren Watkins III. F**k you and that manager. That dirty, hillbilly manager! F**k him! Up yours, bozo! F**k you! S**k my d**k! You ruined my friend, you ruined Speed."
Eventually, the content creators settled their dispute, with Ross referring to Darren as the "GOAT" of streaming. As mentioned, the former got together with THE BREAKDOWN podcast host, during which he disclosed that he and IShowSpeed planned to box.
Claiming that he would "beat the f**k" out of the Ohio native, Adin Ross added:
"You know, Speed gets gassed super quick. I love Speed to death, but, I mean, bro, I would really, really, beat him bad. Like, very bad!"
Wade responded by betting on IShowSpeed:
"I'm going to have to tell you respectfully. Like I said, I've seen you punch, for now. And right now, my money would be on Speed."
The Kick streamer replied:
"Okay, right now. With proper training, Speed is gassed in a minute! He gets gassed very quickly."
