Highest Elo Rated Chessboxing Match of All Time 

yeah all the vods are fucked for some reason

For real, who edited this? Terrible job, had to turn the audio off

AND IN THE WHITE CORNER

It’s funny, that didn’t come thru in the live stream. Wonder what happened here

ruined the audio for me man.

Jerma: FI C TI ON

I have one air pod in and I’m like what the hell am I listening to right now 😂

@@garrettbroad4078 Having stereo headphones didn't make it any easier lol

Bro more like quadruple. Good lord.

I think it was an issue with the recording, it was fine live

Bro they look so bad. But then when i started thinking about it, i boxed once, and i prolly looked the same.

@@Zelchinho They had a bit more practice than most of us. We all look incredibly dumb when boxing. Compared to other matches though, it wasn't great

@@Zelchinho Yeah... People tend to overestimate their fighting ability especially men. I only play quest 2 thrill of the fight yet in my head I am a pretty competent boxer until proven otherwise.

@@Zelchinho they look 'bad' because we're so used to seeing the very best in the world do it. it looks the same when watching beginners participate in any sport we are used to seeing professionals play.

@@Zelchinho Me and my friends had a boxing tournament in my back garden when I was like 16, I knocked one of my friends out and completely dominated him and felt like a god. But then i watched the tape back and it looked like a completely useless clown fighting a child, it's a hard sport fr

that comment had me dying

He wishes.

He was right though, that match definitely wasn't decided on the chessboard

@@d_andrews Aman was definitely better within the 1st round though, and there certainly is a difference between GMs and IMs

In that context, that's probably true. An IM looking to draw the chess is likely to be able to do it if he manages his time well. But then the IM has to win on the ring....

Whys it so fucked in the video? Same audio playing over and over again

@@007i1 AND IN THE WHITE CORNER

@@007i1 Perhaps some issue with the multiple language sound imput? Even though I don't hear the spanish/french broadcast it's easy to make a mistake with 2 extra outgoing sound lines.

Guys by any chance do you the link for the full stream or the link if it's unlisted? I already have a hard time following the Chess commentary because I'm amateur at chess but the audio issues really kills whatever comprehension and enjoyment I have

@@buenvidanadz1969 just click on ludwigs channel and go to the live tab located next to videos

He had a plan until he got knocked in the mouth. And then it all fell apart

@@Uragaan1everyone's gotta plan till they get punched in the mouth!!

aman literally put his face forward and took so many punches like a beast

Exactly, he’s being preparing a long time to hit, not being hit, that shook him very bad

Is that the Andrew Trent guy that's supposed to be "world champion" kick boxer or is it the brother that's the kick boxer? Embarrassing!

I love Chessbrah and I am a huge Aman fan, but flailing isn’t incredible boxing skill. It’s embarrassing.

I wish they used this ref in the Andrea/Dina match.

These are just 2 people flailing around stop the cap.. both of them look flat-footed and off balance the whole time...

@@switchhardflip1993 ok, maybe not great skill but he found his mark with a lot of heavy shots and clearly beat his opponent

@ItsJCrew this I can agree with! Ngl for someone like Trent saying he has a passion for boxing with on/off training he sure showed how little he has applied/trained.

And its still going live and literally beeing uploaded as they happen

yea i enjoyed it way more than i thought

@@sk4rrt Me too! LOL.. except for that slow and clueless person who reffed Andrea vs Dina match.. He ROBBED ANDREAD of the win.

@@josuevargas1952 Dude. The fact you could choose between Spanish, French or English while it was being live streamed was freaking amazing in my opinion. Ludwig outdid himself this time. Creator of the Year indeed.

smashboxing was shit

They debugged him in the latest patch :(

wish he was real

IN THE WHITE CORNA - ANOTHER BYEAH!

hi chess!

Danny you have a personal account

Lmao 25 likes

shut up

Their boxing looked like bunch of seven year old kids were fighting against eachother by the way.

I was wondering about that. Maybe he is just clumsy, and it looks like he is staggering from a hit.

I dunno, you see his eyes roll right after that hit; it might’ve been cautious, but at an event like this I think a cautious call was the right one

He threw punches exactly how you would expect a chess player to throw lol

@@TheTapMusic he tweeted that he went back and agreed with the ref on this one

@@TheTapMusic teeth all messed up, eyes crossed, staggering around. Like I said, British.

I honestly hope he strikes every damn channel that stole his footage.

Although he should probably clean the video at some point to not give the reuploaders any market :P

Thank you! Much appreciated

@@OmidMalekTV Ofc shit was too good not to mention

@@OmidMalekTV good shit omid! -DabCat716

The exit not so good though .

Yeah seemed to have plagued them all night its every video.

Live was fine.

A lot

Great call by the ref to stop the fight, you could see in the replays how Lawrence got rocked. Would have loved to see the fight go on, but it would have likely ended in a straight K.O.

There was a moment where he wobbled and I know at that point he was done. Glad they stopped the fight

Aman, get the champs name right

@@theodoresipols1192 sorry about that thought I spelled it right

COMING IN FIRST IN THE WHITE CORNER!

Yes and it's amazing that there were no problems like audio glitches or shitty refs...

I disagree, Aman was ferocious for sure and had some real power, but Myths match was by far the best techical boxing of the night.

@@noone-ld7pt Myth's match was something else, his opponent (sorry i forgot their name) was such an entertaining character! really lifted the spirits of the crowd after the controversial decision made in the previous women's matchup

@@recklesserves155 He was entertaining but I feel like he should have put in like... any chess prep at all. He made like 10 moves in 5 minutes lol

@@TH-dg2mm I legit thought he was throwing the game until the boxing section. It was then I realized that "this guy is not throwing the match, he's just dumb as bricks in chess!"

@@TH-dg2mm i'm pretty sure he knew how to box but didn't know how to play chess and filled for them didn't really have much time to prepare anyways

YOu clearly did not watch the Andrea v Dina match!

LMAO I was literally thinking "this dude has major crackhead energy." Just kept punched but it didn't even register. Made for a good fight... but also who goes to a chess boxing event and doesn't even learn chess basics? Dude moved like 10 pieces in 5 minutes.

@@TH-dg2mm he had to sub in for someone else because the other person got a concussion in practice, he was never supposed to be a part of the event until not long prior to it. Plus, it was a good fight despite the chess, and neither of them actually knew what they were doing in the chess game lol.

Andrea vs Dina tho

@@TH-dg2mm he was subbing in but also he was clearly clowning

Why? It's true there are less differences between GM and IM level when they are playing blitz chess. Even some FMs manage to compete with strong GMs in this time control

@@gp2776 albeit SGM not a real title, Hikaru adopted Levy EASILY in rapid after he actually put focus into the games when Levy won one prior, and Levy is one of the strongest IMs out there with 2 out of 3 gm norms

@@MLG4TheWin ​ Super GMs are on another planet (: I'm talking about the difference between IM (2400+ FIDE) and GM below 2600 FIDE. Those GMs are much better than IMs in classical chess. But if you compare them in blitz, their strength is often similar. Aman is 2437 FIDE right now. His best blitz peak online is 2899. Levy is 2322 FIDE and the best blitz peak online is 2860. Aman is better than Levy in Blitz (best peak but also more solid/consistent), but they are not so far.

@@MLG4TheWin My answer is deleted by RU-vid each time (maybe too long?). Short: I'm talking about the difference between IMs 2400+ and GMs

@@gp2776 it's not deleted and I see it, I definitely agree that super gms are a different breed, but gms is the path between both, I'd say if going for an offensive either loss either mate game, run of the mill GM would beat an IM 75/25 if you add draws a IM might be able to squeeze it and it would be 45/30/25 probably even higher in favor of the gms. GMs are still much stronger, I definitely agree that in this format you lose points depending on your performance at the boxing so the line is more vivid, but without it, GMs have the very clear upper hand

.25 playback speed for the whole fight is great 🤣

especially the elongated shouts

I don't think it was brutally hard, he didn't use that much power he just snuck him with a really well placed overhand left.

Yeah, IMO people complaining about the TKO call aren't clear enough on what this exact part shows. When someone falls like that with their arms just kinda outstretched & their face blank, that's essentially a split-second knockout, plausibly enough to show concussion signs when examined later. The ref stopped the fight because of the CUMULATIVE impact of the later hard strikes on top of this already serious stun.

May the best GigaChad win!

He got that tuck technique

Is it the Andrew Trent that's supposed to be "world champion" kick boxer or is it the brother that's the kick boxer? Embarrassing either way! I'm glad he got kicked off social media and now getting KOd by Aman!

@@Scott-uz1cd not the same dude. They are not related in any capacity

did @@Scott-uz1cd confuse trent with tate? 🗿🗿🗿

@@Scott-uz1cd you're thinking of Andrew Tate. This is Lawrence Trent. Two extremely different people

😊

or in Lawrence´s case you get up the canvas and see queens everywhere 😀

I wish they caught that on video!

How cool that you got to go!

Yep, Trent's gait was quite disturbed after the last exchange, you can see him limping slightly. He may have taken some damage he isn't aware of.

I totally disagree, boxing is supposed to be a spectacle of glorious primal violence not to be called off the moment anyone gets sightly hurt. If I were tent I would have turned round and knocked the ref out for ruining the fight.

@@TyrannosaurusCHEX same crap happened during the creator clash, the refs have a duty to keep the participants completely safe as they are not professional boxers. if one of them gets seriously injured it will look bad on the ref. so some take it way too cautiously imo

Understand that it's not simply because it will look bad for the ref, it's because the participants aren't career boxers. Some of them obviously don't know how to mitigate damage and prevent lasting conditions like CTE. These people have to go back to being streamers/chess players, and they need their head intact for that.

If they were doing these fights regularly then fair enough but since this is going to be a once in a lifetime event I say they should have been allowed to leave everything in the ring - I'm pretty confident neither man had the punching power to cause brain damage in a single bout.

coming in first in the white corner FI C T I O N

It's pretty amazing to put on 40 pounds of muscle in 3 months with legit training, if the commentators are actually correct with those numbers and not just over exaggerating.

@@josephstewart2821 Aman put on 15, Trent lost 25.

@@josephstewart2821 dude 40 pounds of muscle in 3 months is naturally impossible. It's not even possible if you take every PED on the planet as a newbie while also being in the top 0.1% when it comes to the genetic potential for bodybuilding.

@@Sandude Aman put on 15 pounds of weight. Maybe 5 or 6 pounds of that weight is actual real muscle tissue. And that's assuming that he is part of the 0.1% of genetic freaks. Normal people put on 5 to 6 pounds of muscle in a year of training.

@@occultsymbols Don't you have some video tapes to return?

He had a good chin to take all those early punches but i think a stronger hitter would have knocked him right out

Dude they are SO bad at boxing lol.

@@nathanbarnhart7823 Considering Aman only trained for 3 months, hes decent, he dodged a lot and hit some hard punches

@@turkishball1137 honestly man, when I see people who’ve trained less than a year compete, it’s kind of upsetting. This isn’t chess, there’re real mistakes with real consequences and real brain damage. He’ll be okay if he doesn’t keep getting downed like that, but he got knocked down 3 times already. If he keeps doing this weird chess boxing nonsense and doesn’t learn how to defend himself, how long is his brain gonna hold up?

a blunder could still have happened with ease

@@TheNilsbuss nope, they are gm and im. A small blunder could happen, but definitely not "with ease."

@@arinix3618 one lucky hit to the temple and even a mastermind could fuck up.

@@TheNilsbuss are supposed to punch the temple in boxing it’s looked down upon

@@madducks4794 it's amateur boxing, accidents happen

It was unfair... Aman gave a killer first blow but Lawrence was trying to even it out...but then he was stopped... I am no expert in boxing, but in the other instances where a TKO was given, it was kind of obvious that 1 person was clearly having upper hand... and the persons seem to agree as well... But in this case not so much...

@@TheUnrulyMonster It was obvious that aman was winning. He hit Lawrence to the ground and lawrence was stumbling before the fight was called

@@TheUnrulyMonster Re-watch it - when Lawrence is walking back to the ropes/talking to the ref his legs are wobbling. Dude had the equilibrium knocked out of him and was already halfway unconscious at that point. The only caveat is there was so little time left in the round, he might have been able to play it safe until the bell ran out and then use the chess time to recover more than a typical boxing break would allow. But if the ref didn't separate them at that point, there's no recovering your lost equilibrium while you're getting hit - dude 100% woulda got knocked unconscious with a couple more shots to his head and he wasn't able to properly defend himself.

@@tycenreckker8328 If he had stumbled first, and then fell down afterwards, I would have still agreed...this way it happened the other way round... Could be seen as he was getting warmed up... At least could have waited for a proper punch.... After all both guys practiced for months for this...

@@TheUnrulyMonster Lawrence wasn't even defending himself in that last flurry, and couldn't even walk. If the ref didn't stop it, he definitely would have been knocked out (since he wasn't even defending himself.) If you're saying he should have had a standing 8, he was, but the purpose of a standing 8 isn't to give them 8 seconds to recover, it's to give the ref time to determine if it's safe for them to continue. He quickly evaluated it wasn't since he couldn't stand properly and struggled to turn to him. Maybe he should have given Trent a couple more seconds to see if he was ok, but it was definitely not unfair. Trent misunderstood what a standing 8 is.

We all know how that would end haha

Hikaru would get demolished by pretty much anyone in a physical altercation

@@Urketadic 🤣🤣🤣

Didnt that already happen?

@@egads3696 i think they wrestled once in some shaky outdoor footage, not chess boxing though

that's no random ass commentator, that's THE Jerma985

Don't know about Lawrence but Aman trained hard and had a good coach!

Actually, she probably could have won if they actually ran with the standard rule of stopping the clock during a stoppage, you know, hince the name. They haven't been doing this throughout the whole event, which makes no sense and is completely unfair.

@@Ghastlymane No, stoppage's do not actually stop the time. It stops the bout for the ref to evaluate if it is safe to continue. That being said, Andrea still should have won since the ref started the 3rd standing 8 of the round. Instead of a standing 8, it should have been the match called, but the ref made a mistake. I don't know why you think the clock is stopped, it's not even stopped if it's a mandatory eight count (ie the person being knocked down.) Stop making shit up.

@@IlluviumGaming I was wrong about the professional part, but in amateur boxing they stop the clock to make it fair for the other fighter (the one not getting a count) since they don't have the skills required to finish off their opponent in a shorter amount of time.

What are you talking about the notes fight was lame. Neither hit hard enough to faze the other let alone knock them down

@@andrewbradley3305 there was no notes fight, but I appreciate the effort.

I'm a triple threat, watch me flex

Thank you!!

@@OmidMalekTV no thank you that walkout is saved in my folder of clips I use to hype myself up now

Looks like they re-edited the video to fix the fact that you couldn't see the chessboard at all for half the event, but fucked up the audio in the process.

You can go back and watch the live, the audio for this match is fine in it

Fortunately it's the clips and not the stream, just gotta recut and reupload.

fr lmaoo

You're better in your dreams than in real life?

It was far better than I’d expected! I guess it depends on one’s expectations going in 😅

He sold the fight. Then he sold, during the fight.

The more you fuck around, the more you find out

trash talk before the fight is to hype up and sell the event, it's rarely ever anything personal

Nah talking shit is why this stuff is good. We need more

Go look at his Twitter. He was a legitimately pissed about it but he said he went back and looked at the footage and agreed with the refs decision
