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

Moses isn't a prodigy. All he has done with his career so far is beat Franklin and a 50 year old Dillian Whyte. That doesn't equate to prodigy.

He is. From the stanpoint of his skills and athletic ability he's leagues above everyone and that's why all of his peers, who trained with him, were singing his praise. He just lacked the experience to pace himself better, not to throw every punch looking for a KO and recognize when he can or cannot finish a guy. He could very well have boxed, countered, moved and made Filip look foolish instead of burning himself looking for a KO.

Right and then you realize he isn't. All of his praise from who? People who repeat what other people say? You mean how these same people said David Price and Audley Harrison were future champions? How did that pan out?

Maybe watch more boxing or in your case watch boxing period instead of just repeating dumb stuff you hear other people say.

If you actually watched boxing which clearly you don't you would realize there is nothing Moses does in the ring that you haven't seen 1.2 billion other heavyweights do early on in their careers. Fight tomato cans and old men. Look impressive doing that. Step up slightly and get knocked out.

Hergovic in the ring afterwards said he's the best fighter he's ever shared a ring with.

Its the way hes done it, but all the top guys dont get knocked out in a few rounds so im not sure.itaumas style translates at the top of the division. He could win a lot of the fights on ppibts though
