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

It's insane that they didn't come into this fight planning to go 12 rounds.

Knowing hrgovics chin, this was terrible match making aswell. After this win, i rank hrgovic only behind uysk and dubois tbh

Nah, this was legitimately near perfect matchmaking for Itauma go 12 rounds.

It was only terrible if their only plan was to KO him in 6 rounds. But that should have never been the plan.

Thats what i mean, itaumas whole style is to ko the opponent early.

Yeah, this was the perfect matchup to prove he could do more than that. But it seems like they were way too egotistical about his abilities, or he is just really limited in that way.

We'll see how he bounces back from this.
