Stream Fighters 5: WestCol and Blessd to Control Humanoid Robots in Bogotá
Luis Fernando Villa Alvarez, known as WestCol, and musician Blessd will each control humanoid robots in the main event of Stream Fighters 5 at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá on November 14th. The fifth edition of the amateur boxing and entertainment show will pair influencer boxing with a robot bout and live musical performances.
WestCol is a 25-year-old Colombian streamer who rose through Kick and became the platform’s most-followed streamer in 2024 with his gaming content. He founded Stream Fighters in 2022 to stage amateur boxing matches featuring celebrities; the first edition took place on October 1st, 2022. Stream Fighters has since combined boxing with staged entertainment to create recurring live events.
In the headline attraction, WestCol and Blessd will not face each other directly but will occupy corners and operate humanoid prize-fighters inside the ring. WestCol’s robot has been presented as 1.7m tall and reportedly cost more than $100,000; during warm-ups and a skills demonstration the machine struck WestCol, prompting discussion online about the experiment. Organisers and observers say the result in the ring will depend on how well each team has trained to control motor functions, and bookmakers face an unusual betting market; Stake is running a promotion that offers a refund on a customer’s first SF5 bet and is covering all fights on the card.
Ticket demand and streaming figures have increased across editions: more than six thousand tickets have been sold for SF5 and Stream Fighters 4 reached a peak of 4.6 million concurrent viewers on Kick, a record for the platform. A prior edition in August recorded 2.55 million concurrent viewers, Stream Fighters 3 peaked at 1.7 million, and the first event drew 147.5K viewers. WestCol is listed as the most-followed person on Kick with 2.97 million followers and is credited with over 4 million live viewers at peak; the second-place figure cited is Andy Dante "elzeein" Merino Ramirez at 1.35 million, and organisers expect the Coliseo MedPlus to hold roughly 20 thousand spectators.
The co-main event pairs Andrea Valdiri against La Divaza in a female-versus-male bout staged with adjusted rules; the matchup has been described in promotional material as a Colombia vs. Venezuela clash with social-media influence at stake. Blessd, who appeared as a music guest during Stream Fighters 4, will focus on his role in the main event and will not perform vocally this time. Confirmed musical acts for SF5 include Aria Vega, Kris R and Sech, and the show will be available to viewers via WestCol’s Kick streaming channel.
The SF5 fight card totals 10 bouts and mixes conventional fights with crossover formats. Bookmakers list Sebastucho at 2.40 and Leandro at 1.50 for their matchup, while Valentino Lazaro and Emiro Navarro are priced close at 1.80/1.90 after promotional back-and-forth on social media. The card also features tag-team bouts such as Alexa Torrex & Karola Alcendra vs. Beba & Yaya and Willito/Lonche vs. Chanty/Incognito (one participant in the latter not yet announced). Other scheduled fights include Herrera vs. JH De La Cruz (noted as one-sided given De La Cruz’s prior boxing experience and a full training camp), Samantha Correa vs. Cami Pulgarin (a stated height difference of over 20cm), El Agropecuario vs. Daren (Daren has losses on previous SF events), and Reydelacity vs. Wegotkicks.
Stream Fighters 5 will take place on November 14th at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia, and will be broadcast live on WestCol’s Kick channel.
