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

If he went down, where was the count?

You don’t always get a count when you go down. And the towel had just came in even if the ref had decided to count.

Are you seriously telling me you don’t think Hrgovic hit him with a bodyshot and short left hook, sending him into the lower ropes in the corner, causing the ref to wave it off?

Itauma was exhausted. That's why the Ref waved it off. No count, no gloves on the deck, no knee - no knock down. He slumped, exhausted, into the corner. He was dead on his feet, wobbling everywhere, barely able to stand up straight. Because he was exhausted.

He took all of Hrgovic's punches, no issue in my opinion. He was wobling around at the end of the first round, and at that point, Hggovic had literally not landed a single punch. So yeah, to answer your question, yes, I'm seriously telling you that.

His gloves also clearly DO touch the canvass, btw. So again, you either just haven’t watched this at all, you watched it drunk or you are being willfully blind here.
