It seems like KSI and Logan Paul aren’t the only ones who make impulsive decisions, because avid wrestling fan Kurt Tay agreed to fight with one of his “haters” on the fly of a whim.
Better yet, there was a form that likely stated that neither of them would be held accountable for any injuries that come out of the fight.
The Livestream
The entire affair was originally streamed live on YouTube on 5 July on Tay’s account, lasting close to 17 minutes, but the video has already been privatised.
It was entitled “WCW World 🌎🌍 Heavyweight Champion ‘The Icon’ Kurtberg Fighting Street Fight Live Video 5 July 2022”.
But worry not, the same video was re-posted on other social media accounts, so the entire event was left intact for the public’s perusal.
The videos starts off with Tay arriving at Yishun MRT Station.
As he’s walking out, he addresses the camera and says, “Okay, so he want to talk big, you know, say I got no balls to meet him. Then he say, ‘Oh, he can finish me in 3 minutes’ time.”
For the sake of clarification, he adds that this hater has been insulting him for the past few months.
Hence, he decides to come down to Yishun because he’s fairly certain that the person who antagonised him is also in the area, since he saw his hater posting on Instagram, which stated that he was in the vicinity.
Tay’s opponent is dressed in a teal green shirt and he’s accompanied by another person. He wastes no time asking Tay if they should settle the score at a void deck instead.
“You want to go void deck? Go void deck for what?” Tay asks, wanting to settle things there once and for all.
Despite his initial protest, he follows his opponent to a void deck, but not before his hater hands him a form.
It’s unclear what is written on the form, but it’s probably a standard indemnity form which ensures that neither party can be held accountable for any injuries since they have both mutually consented to the fight occurring.
The Actual Fight
Upon reaching an empty void deck, Tay’s opponent starts taking off his shoes while Tay sets up the camera at an appropriate angle to stream the event live.
They even shook hands before they started.
The fight officially begins around 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the video.
Without missing a beat, the opponent’s punch and kick connects with Tay’s body.
It causes Tay to roll on the ground while his opponent taunts him.
Tay gets up and charges at his opponent headfirst, only to get flung to the ground, leaving him flailing.
All the while, there are bystanders watching the entire commotion, some looking visibly puzzled by what was happening.
(But it’s Yishun, so maybe it’s just Tuesday.)
As the fight progresses, Tay takes more hits than he gives, even receiving a fist to the face around the 9-minute mark, which causes him to stumble backwards.
Roughly 30 seconds later, Tay gets punched in the face again, and he looks winded.
He calls for a time-out, wanting to take a water break and catch his breath.
Once the fight recommences again, his opponent proves to be relentless as he aims a hard kick to his lower body.
The blows he takes would deserve a wince of sympathy, but he knew what he was getting into, both as someone who watches and participates in the sport.
Tay also halts the fight a few times to readjust his position to ensure that they’re visible on the livestream.
Tay takes another punch and two more kicks before he concedes.
Police Intervention
Their sportsmanship is nothing to sniff at because they still shook hands on the outcome at the end.
Whether it’s a coincidence or not, they happen to stop fighting just as two police officers walk towards the void deck. At this point, it’s unknown if they had been alerted to the fight, or were just passing by.
A few moments later, the police officers walk off the camera.
Tay speaks to the camera again, perspiration dripping down his face, “I lost to him. He’s the winner. Never mind.”
To Tay’s surprise, his “hater” and the other friend asked for a photograph with Tay.
They only asked when he’s worse for wear and beaten, but still.

The Responses on Hardwarezone Forum
Since Hardwarezone is like the Reddit and 4chan of Singapore combined, though with more Singlish and obscure jokes, the commenters are pretty ruthless.
The majority of comments mocked Tay for being brash and impulsive.
One forum user, which appears to be Tay himself, wrote back in his inimitable style of… short forms, random capitalisations, Hokkien and emotes, and gave out explanations freely to defend himself.
He claimed that he hasn’t sparred for more than five years while the other guy is a seasoned fighter who trained regularly.
He continues to defend himself by saying that he should have trained before the actual fight, though he does chalk most of his decision-making skills to the fact that he took up the challenge because he couldn’t stand being called a coward.
Apparently, he had a fair share of injuries: his fingers were swollen to the point he needed to seek medical treatment, his elbow and lips were bleeding, and his neck was aching as well.
Tay also brings up that his friend Wen Loong will take revenge for him, on the premise that it hadn’t been a fair fight due to the discrepancy of their skill levels, even claiming that Wen Loong could “destroy him [in] less than 2 mins”.
He goes on to list Wen Loong’s list of impressive achievements, if it’s at all true, writing that his friend has mastered Taekwondo, boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He’s apparently “undefeated” and capable of taking on opponents that are bigger and taller than him.
Having said that, he implies that his opponent is too timid as he didn’t dare to accept Wen Loong’s challenge to fight at a proper Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) school ring, and merely picks on those weaker than him.
I suppose a part of Tay is still quite salty about the loss.
