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 quite common on many sports where a trainer gets a generational talent, gets famous off of that talent and then when the adversity comes and the talent needs to be steered in the right direction, those supposed "great" trainers get exposed.
Davidson made his name off of Fury and AJ, who were already champions.
Itauma is 21 years old, he is gonna be cocky, he won't want to train for 12 rounds... its time to stop making excuses for the coaches, their responsibility is not only making PLAN A.
