Pretty sure it’s the only chess boxing controversy.
Well yeah bc it's an obscure thing nobody knows or cares about lol it somehow manages to be even worse than the WNBA which is a real achievement
There's Lawrence Trent throwing a fit then the next day tweeting apologies and saying the fight had been fair after all
@@Patrizsche lol Lawrence knew he was lost on both ends. Aman's younger and a better chess player.
Which automatically makes it the biggest
Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist lol .
Just blows me away that at the end of every round of boxing Dina looks like she just survived the biggest fight of her life, while Andrea looks like she just finished two jumping jacks.
Andrea just needed a little more power on those punches and it was definitely a win.
Andrea literally has the energy of a hungry Cheetah with 3 cubs to feed. Perfect
@@leonardolopes5831 I don't think it's the power. It's the lack of skill due to the fact that they only had 6 weeks to train. Her punches were powerful enough to rock Dina and to get her to run. She just didn't know how to cut off the ring, and I guess accuracy is another thing to improve on
Andrea was robbed. Pure and simple.
@@jx14aby She actually was. The official did his third standing count of the round, and fourth standing count of the match. That's a TKO. He made a mistake. 3 knockdowns in 1 round is a TKO, and on top of that, 4 knockdowns in a match is also a TKO. I guess he lost count or something.
Ref here - I really f'd up and am glad that all involved handled my mistake like champs.
I've been robbed twice and it stops you from enjoying your own performance afterwards as a fighter.
After reviewing footage I coddled the fight too much. I could've called it before the end of the round.
It was hard to call as Dina was still there but in hindsight should've timed out & told her clearly to fight back more or be TKO'd.
I did go talk to her coach in between the boxing rounds but I should've done it in the ring with Dina.
The count was inexcusable. It started as a break but her hanging on the rope was the reason to start counting. I heard the bell, and took it as an out, because I didn't want to decide the fight over her hanging on the ropes. That was a mistake.
I hope you and Dina can still be super proud of the heart & skill shown, you had everybody on the edge of their seats!
You all wrote history on this one.
Andrea handled the aftermath with me with dignity and I am super impressed with the event & how Ludwig & team handled this. Happy how you and Dina came together.
Good luck in your next fights!
Statements are my own - nobody asked me to write this.
Thanks for making this fun event possible! And I hope people aren’t too mean. People get overexcited on the web with complaints and it isn’t nice if it hits you.
I imagine being a ref for people who don’t behave in a way you are used to is super difficult in this situation. Thanks again for all of you making this event possible and the great job you did. Would love to see you back for the next one.
Have a great day and end of the year! 🥊❄️
Noone got hurt in entire duration of this event despite most of those people being complete newbies to the box. You and your crew did the most important thing correctly, rest is really irrelevent.
Just to be clear (although you obviously already know this and are just trying to save face..), we’re not mad you “coddled” the fight… I mean they’re freaking chess players, of course you have to coddle it. The issue is how disgustingly one-sided your “coddling” was. I mean watch it back again for the millionth time, you are literally doing **everything physically possible** to prevent a TKO by Andrea at all costs. As if there’s real money on the line or some shit lol. Seriously, not even an actual boxer could’ve landed a TKO there because YOU kept interrupting them and preventing any and all chances of it happening. Even Messi can’t do jackshit if you place an elephant in front of the goalpost. Guess that means Messi loses to the elephant, yea?
That’s not coddling… that’s robbery. Huge difference.
It was a tough call!
W
Honestly Levi’s commentary is perfect for this kind of event, making every chess move hype lol
Well, you should hear GM Pepe Cuenca comenting on chess, in spanish. It is like a commentator of football ( soccer ).
If gotham sees this comment, he gonna be mad
Get yourself a girl who looks at you the way Andrea looks at Bloodthirsty Andrea
i thought they were gonna scissor each other
And then file a restraining order maybe
Or the camera. Killing that tactic.
But then it is also every other superlative
@@prathamgarg3967 😂
That Dina cameo in the end was hilarious 😂😂
I thought that's actually Dina..
@@GingY9696 Ya thats Dina, cant wait for the rematch, its gonna break twitter lols.
@@justsaiyansteve rematch yesss😬
I missed that, I thought it might be Alex but maybe her walk is different.
@@justsaiyansteve Unless Dina substantially improve her fitness, Andrea will knock her out in the boxing.
I think it's very clear that Dina and Andrea agreed when they took this fight that they would talk Hella trash and make sure this was one of the most hyped up and anticipated matches of the night because they wanted to show out for the women and they 100% delivered not only on hyping it up but putting on an insanely good performance in the ring and on the board. Clearly a lot of respect there between the two of them, love to see girl bosses lifting up girl bosses!
There was not good about this fight tbh
@@julius66411 this was the best fight of the night everyone agrees
Women are almost ALWAYS the fight of the night. I watch a lot of professional armwrestling and the same is very true in that world, too. Long grinding matches. When you largely take away the ability for one person to just dominate through pure strength, it makes for a very entertaining matchup, especially if they have to find other ways to come out on top.
I think Toasts match was definitely match of the night, but yea.
"good performance in the ring" my guy is simping so hard lmfao
@@LegendJ0e4 my guy is using the word simp in the year of our Lord 2024, feel bad for you man. It'll be okay
I feel like chess boxing isn't enough for Andrea, the next fight should be chess/WWE tables, ladders and chairs match 😂💜
She did throw a spinning backfist at some point
Hell in a cell
The only TLC I know and care about
@@sammythemc I saw that. 😳
Andrea coming for that WWE women's title.
Chat was up in arms because everyone knew the boxing itself should've ended things before the last round of chess
Chat was going crazy!
Yeah, but also the chess should've ended sooner as well, so...
@@yungyosef Kinda the point of chess boxing, you can knock the elo out of your opponents xD
I was there and damn, Never seen a chat so united
@@liammilne2242 You're right. Andrea knocking the *E L O U T* of her made the Grand Master miss the Obvious Checkmate.
I have never seen anyone hunted in a boxing ring like that in my life (and I watch a ton of boxing). Dina practically ran a marathon. You both were awesome for getting in the ring.
You clearly don't watch a ton of boxing
she looked a lot like mayweather
What a match. Thanks Andrea and Dina for such unusual competition! Both deserve full respect :)
Hey Fender, Just a thought-if ever a rematch; Andrea goes "south-paw". That's entertainment.
"There can only be one"?? Is that a rematch I smell? Would love to see you two go round again; really enjoyed the contest.
Im not sure that dina enjoyed anything that day XD
@@icelandthebest2218 Barely making it so you were saved by the bell isn't enjoyable at the time.
id rather see ksi logan paul number 3
The fight speaks for itself, and so does the chess. Well done by both.
this comment speaks for itself
@@spectator5144 And my mom speaks for myself when calling the doctor to make and appointment because im scared of phonecalls

@@Zharkan16 the movement speaks for itself
@@masseg6713 just do a lot of phone calls, you'll quickly get used to them
OMG THE ENDING!!!!! DINA I EFFIN LOVE YOU I hope u guys do content together on the board and off the board would be sooooo sick!!!
This was an amazing bout at an amazing event. Both of you guys have a lot to be proud of. You both absolutely stole the show and were almost my personal fight of the night, if not for Toast and Point putting on such a stellar main event. Still, an amazing matchup.
I watched it and being a fight fan as well as a chess fan I thought you did very well. Bottom line. You got robbed and the ref really needs more training. Three stoppages should have ended the fight in your favor. You did amazing and showed a real fighting spirit. My two daughters were cheering for you as well. Thank you for the great content. Keep it up.
Huh? A fight fan? Show me when Dina was ever wobbled or appeared unable to continue to defend herself. She was a mess at boxing but she was never hurt, Botez didn’t land anything hard enough to wobble her. The boxing was a joke all around
@@mathewpankratz5767 the match was a joke. But Andrea did significantly better than Dina. Period. Andrea controlled the ring and the fight.
@@mathewpankratz5767 i mean there were multiple times were dinas gloves went down or she stopped moving them to block punches. her head got knocked around and she stopped blocking. since they arent professionals that is more than enough to stop the fight. they cant just let dina stand there and take several blows to the head. this isnt professional boxing and nobody wants injury at an influencer boxing match. maybe some blood but no head trauma
@@mathewpankratz5767 You miss the parts of the fight where she turns her back and runs away on numerous occasions? I'm not trying to disrespect Dina, major props for competing and doing so well in the chess. However you can't deny at moments where the ref did interject Dina was on the ropes. Other times she straight up runs away which you just can't do?
@@mathewpankratz5767 Yeah I tend to agree, though I think in a longer match clearly Andrea would have won. Here is what I wrote on another post.
First off, Dina was in a different weight category and had to come up to Andrea's, meaning she probably put on more fat than muscle. You can just eyeball the girls and see Andrea is in better shape. In boxing even a 5 pounds/ 2.3 kg weight difference is significant. Second, I guess none of you "boxing fans" ever heard the phrase "saved by the bell"? Below is a copypaste from Quora. I do agree the ref was 'overprotective' however, but that doesn't change the rules or the outcome. You can have refs that also give a quick standing eight count or a slow one, and judges that award too many points to a losing boxer, and so on. Happens a lot and changes nothing.
(internet, Quora, on the phrase 'saved by the bell'): "The phrase originated in the sport of boxing. If a boxer is knocked down during a fight, the referee starts counting to ten. The boxer presumably tries to stand up again. If he has not risen to his feet by the time the referee reaches ten, he loses the match, and his opponent is declared the winner by a knockout.
But if the bell announcing the end of the round sounds before the referee gets to ten, he stops counting. The round is over, but the match isn’t. The boxer has a moment to go back to his corner and recover before rejoining the fight for the next round. He was saved from losing by the ringing of the bell."
Major props to both of you for getting in the ring and putting on a hell of a match both on the board and in the headgear...it was hands down my favorite match of the night when it comes to not knowing who's gonna win at all...well done to you both, and we'd love to see a rematch sometime...
Huge respect to Dina. She shows the heart of a warrior and true competitor. Clearly being outmatched physically Andrea came at her like a hurricane but she showed tremendous resiliency and strength and weathered the storm. Ultimate respect to Dina
I gotta admit, Dina took that beating and still played the better chess. I mean, how much harder did Andrea have to hit her to bring her gameplay down?!?!
Three standing counts in the same round means succumbing to the storm. Sorry...
Well done to both of you! takes guts to get in the ring and fight, win or lose it's a life experience that you'll always remember! I agree that the ref was not the best, but you both committed to the event. Sometimes, life isn't fair! Congratulations!
Great stuff! Your boxing looked pretty good, understood the jab and using it to measure your opponent, had to love the constant movement, staying on your toes, you take this stuff pretty seriously. Classic puncher vs boxer.
I've been boxing for a while, I must say after 6 weeks you've done so well in that match. You kept using your jabs and throwing overhand punch. You deserved to win that round and you've earned my respect. I would love to see you fight again, you're entertaining
I agree - I've had one amateur fight so hardly an expert but zero to 6 weeks? Andrea was very good in my eyes
@@drdiscostu She had that endurance and explosiveness but tbh her punches wouldnt have been enough to ko Dina
@@char.ger-3321 it is hard to KO anyone if they are going to run away like that. IMO it's not that hard to learn "decent" punching technique with 6 weeks but a lot harder to work on footwork and head movement. Andreas is nothing special of course, but I'm sure it is substantially better than mine was 6 weeks into my boxing
No offence, but from the looks of her form, it doesn't look like she's trained at all. The fight was almost as embarrassing as the Ref's calls.
@@drdiscostuEven if Dina had gotten closer she woulve fallen to the floor, but not ko
It's not just the 3 stoppages. The ref was intervening every time there was even the remotest chance of Dina getting hit.
He was like a mother protecting her newborn baby.
Well ... that's what a boxing referee is supposed to do, protect the boxer. I do agree he should've stopped the match sooner...
@@TheAhille it's definetly not the refs job to actively prevent Andrea from scoring a knockout.
Yeah, he shoulda protected her by ending the fight and calling for botez, like was done like 3 times before in the event
@@TheAhille protect the boxer by DISQUALIFYING Dina by refusal to fight in the first round or second round, turning her back against the fighter 5 times lmao.
@@TheAhille Yes it is, but the protected boxer loses, you don't protect a boxer and then continue the fight
a master at turning everything into comedic content, y'all seem like awesome friends.
Need more of this. Great boxing for such a short time. Love you andrea
You're a little fire ball Andrea, especially with that "it was more like hide and seek" line 😂, good boxing for somebody that's never done it before and you definitely should have won.
You dirty dog
"little" fire ball 😃 okkk
@@TheBliepbliep crazy after all the things Dina said and you cringe at that
@@TheBliepbliep You must be new. Botez and trash talking are synonymous. Don't take it seriously.
@@GiDaOneAs a bin regular viewer of hers (basically clicked this video to get an idea of her), it came across as trash talking her opponent instead of the judging, which was my issue. Clearly wasn’t her intention with it though, but if you’re not familiar with her personality it’s quite off putting. I’m all for trash talk on just about anything pre fight and during, but I do like good sportsmanship at the end, especially in the influencer scene. Otherwise you’ll just have angry kids running around and bombarding comment sections with insults.
awesome to see both of you declared winner, that's very fitting, one in the ring one on the chessboard!
participation price lol
I disagree. The actual winner should be declared the winner. And the actual winner was Andrea because 3 standing 8 counts = TKO.
Lol. Very interesting and entertaining this concept of Chess-Boxing. I haven't seen it before.
By the way, I'm loving the content you and your friends are creating and publishing in your channels.
Wish you all the best. Just keep up the great job!
for those of us who aren't very good at chess - this was one of the most entertaining chess matches ever! Give us more!!
As as a person who has been playing chess for years and still not very great, I was still rooting for Dina simply because I think that chess is more complicated than boxing and I respect the mental battles over the physical ones. But to be honest, I like all aspects of both, and I have mad respect for Andrea for what she did in the ring.
@@JNB0723 There are a lot of mental battles in boxing that you'll realize if you try it. But of course, it's not on the level of Chess. They are different in their own ways.
dina randomly walking in and andrea stealing her belt was so funny LOL
YOU BOTH WERE AMAZING THANK YOU!!!! yall put on a hell of a show
Respect for doing this match. Your opponent was strong as well. Very enjoyable and ballsy by both of you.
Very entertaining...respect to all parties for putting on a great show.
That ref was scared you were gonna hurt her. You were vicious!
There is only one way to settle this controversy
REMATCH!
Awesome content. Thank you, ladies ❤! You were BOTH incredible 👋. Thank you for sharing xxx
Dope ending! Hope to see more of these matches!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Andrea you really impressed us! I was so surprised how well she went after her opponent in the ring!
The best match of the entire event bar none both these women gave it everything they had in the ring and on the board it was amazing to watch. Congrats to both of them. I'd love to see a rematch at some point in the future.
I liked this. Well done by both! Hope U2 will keep this up.
I was waiting for this video on your channel. Good job Andrea👏😀
Andrea Gremlin Botez, you did great, that ref pissed all of us off lol you committed to the training, punches in bunches, mexican style brawler, footwork was on point, and your stamina has always been ridiculous. 12:15 you dazed her with that straight, and ooo if that dam ref didn't interfere, the follow up hook wouldve put her down. 320k, plus the crowd was fully hyped, hopefully chess boxing is the next big wave. Congrats to you and Dina.
Yeah you're right - she could have teed off on her after that if the ref hadn't stopped her.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHHAHAAHHA ANDREA GREMLIN BOTZ
@@jaafer6613 I mean i dunno about that, but the bot is right tho
You both killed it 💪
It was crazy to watch in person
Great job to both of you! That was about 8 seconds from when he first stopped her but he clearly started counting at 1.
Dina's face at the end when Andrea grabs the belt is priceless. I love it
Dina's angry face 🤣. She so quiet, it's our if character to see her being vicious. Thank you both for being such great sports. 😊
WOW ! Lots of respect for you Andrea. Stepping in the ring after only 6 weeks of preparation and then fighting like you did. You got guts girl ! Really impressive.
Props to both of you! Awesome, they should make this a thing lolll more interesting
This was the coolest thing ever my favorite match of the night!! hope to see more!
The ref was awful, if that ref was professional, he would’ve stopped it. If you had more power you would’ve knocked her out, but overall this was way cool! Hope y’all run it back. For 6 weeks too you actually did awesome!! I’ve been boxing since I was a little kid, and the fact you knew that much in 6 weeks is awesome because it takes years of practice to get the fundamentals down in boxing.
I disagree, he had to separate clinches which he did, but at no point was Dina rocked where her legs were wobbly or she appeared unable to continue, there just wasn’t any reason for him to stop it or give another standing 8 count, even the previous ones were pretty generous to Botez. No one experienced in boxing would seriously suggest Botez deserved a TKO there
Why would you stop a fight if she's still standing? You obviously don't watch boxing. That's how refs count in boxing, they count slowly than normal.
Andrea didn't drop Dina. Maybe if Dina got dropped then the ref should've stopped the fight. She was exhausted, not hurt.
If the boxer isn’t fighting back, what’s the point of it continuing. The ref usually stops it if the boxer isn’t fighting back. She was getting outboxed, and no point of it going any further if she is getting completely dominated. That’s my take on it.
@@jazzminchen4204 you stop a fight when the other fighter is no longer able to defend themselves. In this case: Dina. She kept backing up and turning away from Andrea.
Andrea won the boxing match and Dina won the chess match. They both deserve a medal 🏅
That intro arguably one of the best I've ever seen. Wholesome and Badass!
Your match was one of my favorites of the night. It was good both in the ring and on the board and big props to both of you for getting in the ring. It did seem pretty obvious watching it live that the ref started counting the third time before the bell and the final boxing round should've ended it. That said, she had you dead to rights in chess at that point so idk if she would've felt robbed if the refs decision went the other way, who knows. All in all, top tier content.
You did very well with only six weeks of training. Super well really. Though Dina didn't offer much offense. So we never got to see your response to hard hits or difficulties. Otherwise, the controversy, as often is the case, turns out to be a big positive. Something to be leveraged down the line. Thanks to both of you for taking on this challenge. Commendable...especially given it was done on short notice.
the end of the video is pure gold and props to both of our chessboxing badasses!!
your fight and chris broad's fight were my fav, good job girl
This was no doubt the fight of the night. The controversy made it all the more spicy.
The fact Andrea was 10 lbs heavier was arguably the bigger controversy. They're not in the same weight category.
"she's higher rated that Gothamchess." She snuck that sick burn in there
I am just now discovering your content and you are amazing! You make great content, informative chess vids, and showed courage stepping into the ring!! Incredible stuff, would love to meet you one day :)
The ref looks really sus but hey you fought well ! Great prep with the gloves i saw the other vid and you did your best, can't regret ! :D
I didn't even know this kind of stuff exist that's alot of fun to watch ! :)
In fact I've never seen a fighter in my life go so hard, that's how I picture myself going wild in for the blows but Andrea is actually doing it like a beast mad props!!!
Commenting before I watch... I know nothing of boxing, but I totally thought the ref stole that last round from you. You had it won in the ring. She had it won on the board. If the ref had not intervened inappropriately, the win was yours. Regardless, it was super fun to watch and I think both you ladies did an impressive job. Kudos to you both :)
Andrea actually did win the fight. 3 standing 8 counts = TKO.
This was so much better then I anticipated
The best match of the evening! Amazing battle over the board and in the ring. Would watch a rematch but I wonder... which sister would win? 🤔
There can only be one! I really hope for a rematch!
This was so hype!!! Praying for a rematch 🙏🏿
I truly appreciate this video! As a "non-regular Botez viewer who thinks you're cool" myself, the comment after loosing left a sour taste for me... But watching this video was even better than live! You may not have this notion, but the live version looks so different.
My feelings are mixed because the ref was clearly trying to defend Dina, but at the same time there is such beauty in winning in chess after being destroyed in the rink, which would never happen if the referee was fair because you had the upper hand and the mindset to finish during that last boxing round.
In the end... I like Ludwig's decision to declare you both winners. And maybe the match lasting a little longer allowed us to see more of both your talents, both in chess and boxing. It was a beautiful fight, and your comment at the end doesn't mean anything now that I know better!
Great fighthing heart Respect for both of you
I hope Ludwig makes this annual event. Id love to see you do a rematch!
I loved the little dog at Gotham chess that was quite funny 😂
I applaud you for being a pioneer for a new sport. This is a real sport. As an old guy sports purists I have seen a true competition. This is a sport I will follow thanks to you.
It is absolutely not a new sport. It has been around for a long time.
Great stuff, you girls gave it all. The ref needs to be fired. And also the promoters. I follow boxing and chess but had no idea this match was happening.
I was surprised by how strong the punches you were throwing were
true story xd
Bro you can't be simping this hard... Her punches weren't even close to being strong lol.
@@toasterlordtoasterlord4224 Some of those swings looked like they had quite a lot of force behind them. Were they precise? Not really, however you could tell she put quite a lot of weight behind all of her punches.
Lmfao bruh!
Even with the controversy, still probably the best bout of the night. Especially since Andrea and particularly Dina really played into a great face vs heel dynamic before the fight.
Best fight was the last one.. One which Toast won.. It was toe to toe in both boxing and chess.. Andrea had the second best fight with the most controversial final decision
@@devil1994 I love Eric (Pointcrow), so I was pulling heavy, but it felt like he was ever behind in both aspects imo.
This is probably one of the most amazing things I've seen this year.
great video and I laughed out loud at the ending
Not why I watch the channel, but that was awesome! You both looked pretty good for only a few weeks boxing experience.
Dina Mayweathered you. She played it to her strength, and survived the boxing. And her chess... damn that lady knows how to play.
Alex what are you talking about? I guess you have never seen Mayweather fight. He rarely gets hit whereas Dina got hit by almost every punch...
This is AWESOME, Congratulations on your new endeavor, it takes Balls!
Andrea, that was amazing. Great job!
It was one if the best fights in my opinion
Ref kept jumping in between you and "splitting you up" in the end. It was bogus, he was jumping in between to protect her every time she got in trouble at the end without doing a count.
Edit: wow, when I watched it live i thought there were 3 stoppages, then figured I must've miscounted because it wasn't over. Really sad to see that bad of reffing. Andrea was robbed.
its actually more dangerous as it becomes more of a sustained beating that's the whole point of tkos
A big part of the issue was also on the bell operator. You are never supposed to ring the bell as a count is happening. If the bell wasn't rung, then the outcome would have been clear. That is to say that the error here is on a lot of people, including the ref, the bell operator, and the organizers.
@@bpbradley9 tbf, the ref wasn't even supposed to actually count a 3rd time. Once he starts a 3rd count it's supposed to be over. The ref is the main point of failure, but there's a bunch of people that should've been aware there were 3 counts and the match was over. Whoever the general manager of the event was, the commentators (including Lud who organized the event), and Andrea's team all should've stopped it.
@@88mphDrBrown He's supposed to start the count or call it, but it doesn't matter because the bell went off so it's not clear to him if the count happened before or after the round was complete. Again, he should have brought that to the attention of the organizers immediately and he should have started his count sooner, but the bell operator definitely contributed to the outcome.
The ref has to split them up when they start wrestling instead of boxing, which is what was happening.
I think should try straight boxing. I love boxing and was very surprised, you looked like a natural and the aggression, wow. A chess playing Mike Tyson. Who's next Clarissa Shields ? Fury ? My fave Botez vid for sure. Brilliant stuff
This was dope! I might have to sub. Yeah Andrea, you got robbed! I love how aggressive you were with the peek-a-boo style. Channeling your inner Mike Tyson! I think most get that you're new too it. No one expected a pro fight but this was fun!
Never had a missed checkmate in one caused more pain. Great job Andrea, you let her pay! 😎
13:10
You are a very strong boxer and a very strong chess player, while Dina was worse boxer but a better chess player. So you played for your strength pushing in the ring with Dina trying to "turtle" and win via chess. Totally valid strats from both of you.
That being said: Both of you well done ... but the ref was VERY bad in case of timing.
i feel like the thumbnail choices for the end card vids were definitely chosen for the right reasons ;)
Wow much interesting than the fights we have now lol weirdest battle I've ever seen. Andrea is a beast!
I have to say you did a good job Andrea. Staying aggressive and holding initiative. You deserve this win. Now take on Gotham. You said you could take him.
Watching Andrea box is like watching a teddy trying taking peanut butter from top shelf, but she did did it 😂 Badass!
Sounds like we are going to see a rematch. Smart way to play it. It was definitely the most entertaining fight of the event.
You did great Andrea! It looked like you were in a different boxing league with your opponent . The ref didn't let you win and they weren't stopping round time when you had knockdowns on her and the ref was counting as they should have .
You did much better than I expected.
I had so much pleasure and fun watching this. You both are amazing
you put up a great show! Thats what really mattersi the end.
Excellent chess-boxing work and excellent video! 🙂
That was so fun to watch. Mad props to both Andrea and Dina. You guys rock. Also, shout out to papa Botez!
Andrea looks so prepared in her boxing given how little time she trained. I think she can be proud of that. I am also impressed at how poised Andrea has become as a streamer. Your presentations in these sort of videos is very professional. Clear, entertaining presentation. I admit to having underrated you as a content creator, from earlier content. Hope your channel thrives as long as possible, you and your sister deserve it. You two created a new kind of way to present chess.
Way to go i never thought you would box and play chess!!! You did good
I’m so proud of you
Great job❤
The ending of this clip had me dying 🤣
But yeah, that ref had absolutely no idea what the hell he was doing haha
