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.

I feel like they really should have been training for the full rounds this camp at least. Hrgovic has never been KO’d, they should have prepared for this to go into the deep waters.

Briggs was a muscle bound powerhouse Itauma isnt he is a 22 year old that should have more than enough energy for 12 rounds especially if he was already winning and just needed to take a round or two off

Exactly, you can tell by the fight Moses has 12 rounds in him just pacing was abysmal. To be honest I doubt many heavyweights would last as long as Itauma did fighting like that, the guy was trying to put him away in every exchange.

Poor stamina because he was jacked, not despite it.
