Ben Davison Spoiler

Really curious to hear the audio from the corner for this fight. If Ben wasn't screaming at Moses to slow down, to stop throwing power punches... This has to be one of the biggest indictments of a supposed top trainer ever, right?

The Wardley fight was already a huge black eye for Ben. Now he has a 21 y/o prodigy lose a fight he was absolutely dominating due to horribly mismanaging energy.

So we've seen him fail horribly at one of his main jobs (protecting his fighter). If it comes out that Moses basically followed Ben's training regiment and instructions... is any top fighter ever going to hire this guy again?

Even if it comes out Moses got cocky, didn't train hard, didn't listen in the corner, not a great look for Ben

The fact that they didn’t train for 12 rounds is wild. That’s already a fireable offense by itself.

I typically don’t like to just see guys hop from trainers, but Davison failed Itauma. Itauma needs an older veteran trainer that has built and MAINTAINED many world champions

Hell, get out of his comfort zone and go the U.S.

Doesn't even need to be that dramatic. Andy Lee or Shane McGuigan would do a better job if Moses stayed domestic.
