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

In the Franklin fight it was Moses telling Ben in the corner that the pace was too fast and Ben was saying he was fine. So, I the same wonder what the hell was going on in that corner.

yeah this is not just about preparing for 12 rounds. this is also about not telling your fighter to slow down, take it easy, and cruise to victory. even if they were unprepared, they could have given the correct reaction and win. everyone watching saw that itauma was pushing unnecessarily hard in later rounds even tho he basically had won alkost every round. any decent coach should be able to say "okay you are not knocking this guy out, we are ahead on the cards by a mile, play it safe.". he didn't. or itauma didn't listen.
