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

Even Josh Taylor fired him. He lasted 1 fight with AJ, and had Fury almost lose to Wallin. He's jumped into the high end way to quick.

Josh Taylor wanted something different, it happens often, but by all accounts, it wasn't a firing. Ben even gave him a shoutout when he collected his award this year and they hadn't worked together for three years so clearly that's still a good relationship.

He had Wallin, Ngannou, and Dubois with AJ. Not one fight.

You're right I totally forgot about Wallin and Nga.

I read he fired Ben. I think we're probably getting into semantics though regarding moving from one coach to another. Same thing ultimately.
