Sadly, we aren't allowed to share more GIFs or videos because the whole event, preceded by numerous monetized YouTube videos including some truly awful diss tracks, was only available on YouTube pay-per-view for $10 a pop.
We can tell you, however, that Jake won in his fight against Deji and Logan's fight against KSI ended with a majority draw.
Jake vs. Deji
Jake, who entered the ring with a plastic muzzle and "Fuck Jake Paul" bling around his neck reeked of confidence, which comes as no surprise from the cocky YouTuber.

In round two, KSI was visibly angry and took wild swings but was unable to land many substantial hits. KSI threw a cheap shot at Logan after the bell, and Jake briefly entered the ring. Regardless, Logan took the second round, too.
KSI managed to land a few big punches in round three, and clearly took the round. Logan seemed to tire a bit, and continued to look sluggish in round four while KSI ramped up his energy. Both of the YouTubers swung wildly, and failed to show any strong defense.
Logan seemed to amp up his energy at the start of round five, and managed to land a series of explosive punches on KSI. Both were exhausted by the end of the round, as KSI landed a strong right hook. At this point there is no clear winner.
In round six, KSI connected with multiple strong punches against Logan, who seemed defeated with a minute to go. KSI's stamina kept him above water.
In the end, the judges landed with a "majority draw," giving the YouTubers another chance to settle the score and profit off the drama. The two already have a rematch in the works in Los Angeles.

The two appropriately left the stage with more shit talking.
Regardless of the outcome, the months-long buildup to the event, along with the over 780,000 accounts that shelled over $10 and tuned in, helped line the pockets of the already rich YouTubers. Using their massive platforms fueled by clickbait-y drama, the Paul and Olatunji brothers did what they do best: take money from children -- or, really, parents willing to open their wallets for merch and PPV.
