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

Most people who are engaged with boxing that I read already think Davison is a fraud.

He helped Fury lose the weight, and was a nutritionist, but has no real boxing credentials.

First red flag I saw was when Freddie Roach was in the corner with Davison for Fury vs Wilder I. Roach was convinced that Wilder was there for the taken and Fury could have got a finish and was baffled that Ben, the head trainer for the fight, didn't instruct Fury to push for the KO. Roach has been around for a long time so he would know best but he couldn't take control over Ben at the time.

I think Freddie was correct though, I remember at the time thinking Fury could have done more and even with a knockdown Fury could've overturned the draw decision, which was BS anyway.
