Whindersson Nunes He resisted as best he could in the ring, but he couldn't shock the world. In the main event of Fight Music Show 8, an event held this Saturday (30), in São Paulo, the comedian faced Acelino Popo, former world boxing champion, and lost the rematch by unanimous decision. But anyone who thought the YouTuber was unhappy with the negative result was mistaken.

On the contrary, in an interview with 'Combate', Whindersson displayed fair play and praised Popó, who is his idol. In the confrontation, the boxing legend, even while taking it easy, proved superior and mistreated the comedian, especially his waistline. Therefore, aware of the enormous difference in skill level between them, the humble artist made an unusual comparison, elevating the boxing legend to the level of Goku, the iconic protagonist of the anime 'Dragon Ball' and considered by many to be a kind of 'God of fighting'..
