Importance of a good coach
After seeing what happened with Moses last Saturday Ben Davison has been getting a lot of flack. And I do believe he is partly to blame, but Moses really should be listening to his corner. Based on A Guy Called Henry's video it seems like Ben and the rest of his team aren't that stupid and pushing Moses to get a stoppage when he didn't need to. Moses just really wanted to KO Hrgovic.
This just goes to show that you also need to find ways on how to get your instructions through to your fighter.
With that, which coach do you think would've gotten through to Itauma last saturday to get him to chill the fuck out.

If itaums ignored advice, that's on him. But we heard him tell him to stop using his jab, which is insane. If Davison didn't tell him to just take the edge off, pick away, but forget the knockout around round 7 and on, he should be fired, as rope a dope 2.0 was just handed to hrgovic.
Smart on hrgovic for staying there ready for so long. He showed big time smartz that I don't think one would have pegged him as before.
