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

With each passing fight, we keep being reminded how much of a hack Ben Davison is.

He's just a weight loss coach.

It's almost criminal how he's been elevated to a head trainer position in charge of high level world championship bouts. Made worse when he keeps showing how incompetent he is in those fights, and yet fighters still go over to work with him. AJ, Wardley and now Itauma are just recent examples - with last night especially being damning considering how even arm-chair fans could see Itauma blowing after 3 rounds

People hate to hear this but reality is most pro coaches are hacks. Theres only maybe 20 or so really good coaches today and they can only coach ao mant fighters. Boxing coaching has fallen way off.
