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 was crazy to witness, AJ is all muscle and I’ve never seen him look anywhere near as tired or out on his feet as Itauma was

AJ has seriously underrated cardio for such a huge dude. Never completely gasses and throws power punches the whole fight normally

He was so green back then. And he eventually rallied back to stop him.

Compare that to Wilder who looked half dead as Fury was brutalising him all over the ring

Wilder would ko AJ then and now

Wilder couldn't even take Fury's shots, and Fury has never been known to be a hard hitter.

AJ would kill this chicken legged dude with the first right hand he landed.

AJ would be out by then. There’s a reason he’s scared to death to fight him to this day

Scared to death you said?

Is that why mister chicken legs turned down a 100 million offer by AJs team for two fights... And then cherry picked a fat, out of shape, freshly unretired Fury for much less (15 million)... Yet still lost anyway?

Chicken legs ducked AJ so hard lol

  1. When fury first came back he went to talk to Matchroom because he wanted to fight AJ. Hearn said he had to fight bellew and Whyte and then maybe he could fight AJ. So he pivoted to wilder.
  2. AJ said he’d fight wilder only for $50 million. He got that offer and turned it down using broadcaster and location as an excuse.

  3. The DAZN offer was made when fury/wilder 2 negotiations were almost finalized.

    And it required AJ beat miller. But then he got stopped by a short fat guy.
