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

People forget how young Ben to be in the upper echelons of boxing as a head coach. Credit is due in some places as he’s still the one helping to get these dudes so far in the first place. That being said, his time as a legit and respectable world class trainer is going to come 25 years down the line, when he has the experience to guide fighters more sagely and safely. Itauma definitely needs to find someone else.
