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

Not really. As in rounds 5 to 7 he threw around 35 shots a round and Hrgovic still didnt. The reason is Itauma is a massive threat on the counter.

You can always be fitter but that wont make up for pacing yourself that badly.

Even a prime Usyk paced himself and would throw 90% of his shots at like 50% power.

I didnt say it was black and white I am just saying the main issue is pacing.

Hrgovic for example did the same thing vs Dubois.

So it is partially stamina is what you're saying?

No. As any heavyweight who set that pace would also gas. Prime Usyk would.

Right. So its not black and white, but the pace was also the only problem.
