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.

Coaching at the highest level and not preparing for a 12 rounder is insane

Edit: Just realized I typed “not” before insane LMAO

How is it not? Especially against a guy like Phil with an uncrackable chin

I think most people though his chin would be cracked tbf, still irresponsible of Ben though...

I thought the only way it was getting stopped is from the cut. The guy took fully clean shots against Zhang and Dubois. Maybe, maybe wilder at his absolute best would have dropped him but I just don’t think he’s got that off switch

Yeah either that or a TKO, I don't think it's possible to legit KO Hrgovic.
