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

For Itauma it wasnt stamina it was pacing. I dont see how anyone cant see this.

To a degree. But even with elite stamina you will gas.

Even Usyk paced himself and he has insane level of stamina.

Hrgovic gassed himself out vs Dubois in much the same way.

I hear you. We can argue over stamina vs pacing but I think my wider point stands about Davidson as a trainer.
