​@@itachitoyou'd be surprised. It depends on who will also be his next trainer as he is without one now. His fights show, he has great skill, power, speed, and like he has said he knows when not to use it. He's pretty much our modern day Emmanuel Augustus. A interesting boxer, who got screwed a lot sadly.

[@MakeFood-sc4of]

​@APAMVs I have alot to say when it comes to Augustus, most haters are casuals so they compare Whitaker to the late prince naseem(I also did so as well at first) who lost in his last fight with just simple basic Mexican boxing. Augustus will be remeberd for his tekken like style and his short noticed fights that still went the distance,Whitaker might be Augustus if Augustus had a proper coach, promoter, judges.

[@Michael-iv2dw]

It's crazy how much people hate Whittaker for showboating when that's what makes him entertaining to watch. People say he can't maintain this style as he keeps going against tougher opponents, but I think if he masters this style it can prove to be an asset. I'm not saying it won't be difficult, I can see this style of boxing confuse many boxers.

The level of hate directed towards Whittaker is bewildering. He’s at the start of his career, brilliant skill set, still a few areas to iron out, beating everyone so far with ease, including Willings here, who to be fair, is a very promising fighter in his own right. Ben is only in the second year of his pro career, give the kid time, he’s an exciting fighter.

Leon was just like a turtle, defense is high but barely was snapping. Offense is the better defense too imo.

Well that’s just silly but the point is that Willings took the fight on 9 days notice against a fighter who is said to be set for super stardom who has fought at decent venues all over the world in Commonwealth - world and Olympic finals . Whittaker at 26 has a heck of a lot more experience than the 23 year old Willings and has already experienced some big nights , Willings on the other hand has never been on a stage anywhere like the 02 and for him to put up a performance like that was a great achievement. I say onwards and upwards now for the lad and with the steady improvement likely I think he has a bright future .

[@MJA1231]

That wasn’t much of a performance mate what you talking about he was a literal punching bag that shoulder rolled a few times 😂😂 forget the context look at things objectively, Ben absolutely smoked him technically and yet still people are putting him down and that’s the point - most of it isn’t even rational it’s just purely from the fact he’s a confident dude who likes to entertain and the British have never liked that (since Naseem Ofcourse but he just shoved it down your throats and made you like it) 😂

His block parry roll left him open to punches he couldn't see coming..2 the weakness of the Philly shell is against good striker puncher and counter punchers. Yea but other wise to the untrained eye willings did great...very sloppy fighter who has a bad habit of throwing wild uppercuts which will get him hurt real bad one day

[@tullochgorum6323]

So now everyone's writing Whittaker off! But Willings is a winning fighter with a good knockout record - give the guy some credit. And Whittaker beat him handily. He needs to focus more on defence, but that will come with experience - it's not as though he lacks talent. When he showboats people say get down to business. When he gets down to business people say he should showboat more. British fans sure do like to cut down their young talent...

Although it has to be classed as a knockdown it was more because Leon over committed with the slip and lost balance. Good level up for Ben here, very good defence from Leon who has shown that he's at British level at least. Ben has a lot to go back and look at to unpack and learn from but this was good to see that he's had to be more cautious and picky with his boxing rather than being handed guys no where near his level. I think we'll see big improvements from both men after this

[@impervius8690]

I don’t think Leon exposed anything. He landed some big shots but he landed few. Leon was winning…maybe 30 seconds of each round on average. But winning 30 seconds doesn’t mean he exposed anything. Shakur dominated Valdez. But Shakur admitted afterward that Valdez hurt him bad to the point where he considered going down to a knee. Did Valdez hurting Shakur expose Shakur? No. He still got whooped. Leon is the same. He didn’t expose Ben. Leon got his ass whooped. But he was tough. Just as Valdez was.

@@impervius8690 he exposed limitations in Whittaker's offence and defence.

I remember everyone saying the same things about josh kelly look how that turned out

Yep. This is the comment…

He'll never be a world champion. Not in this era, he's all style no substance.

@DeterminedFC The truth hurts, don't hate a man for sharing his opinion. I hope I'm wrong, but when you cockily rub people up the wrong way and make a bit of a mockery of low level opponents you have to expect criticism.

[@hermanhawtrey8578]

@@DeterminedFC hey Farty Breath, Ben Whittaker is ingraining stupid mistakes by showboating time after time. If he doesn’t change his approach he’ll still have those mistakes and won’t be able to switch them off when he’s challenging the big boys.

[@2023WorldChampionT1]

I loved the men movement and skils, the punches and combination to left, right, is a perfectly boxser in the wold❤❤❤

Ben Whittaker, I'm a fan now

I feel like people are just haters... Ben Whittaker is good and entertaining at the same time.

Terry Spencer boxing 🥊 What a fight Leon, defo the real winner of this fight. Congratulations to you and all the team! 🎉

[@francishughes542]

Great win for Whittaker, congratulations to you & all of the team !.

[@weill6872]

Nice fight, both of the bros did well. Was thinking during the fight and Ben confirmed at the end, he also has a strong chin.

[@darnell1381]

I’m here laughing at the gate people are having in a boxer who’s had a great amateur career, who’s learning his pro boxing craft. Whittaker is still learning and going through the motions, working on what works and what doesn’t work. When it’s time for him to step up he will adjust accordingly, most of the people haven’t even stepped in the ring lol. People we all have to start somewhere, stop hating and support the guy. Welling will come again he didn’t throw enough he was very durable and will come again.

[@breathoffreshair7314]

Out of them 2 in the ring, who do you think British people will naturally support? Think about it mate. Use your eyes.

[@jovanztv5552]

Don’t know how the judges gave Leon 2 rounds Ben won every Round easily

[@desparado9630]

Made it look easy….can show he can box through the rounds and win convincingly on points

[@thomaskendell8146]

I don't think he made it easy

[@anthonymoody6711]

I'm a big fan of Whittaker, but I think I MAY be a BIGGER fan of his coach. Coach Constantly reminds him to stay focused while not trying to stop Ben from being "Ben". Great job, Coach!!!

Copying who? It's Naruto. People imitate that all over the globe

[@Thanoswasright]

He isn’t no prince this guys nearly 27 fighting tomato cans the prince was 23 fighting in Maddison square gardens for his 10th wbo title defence and knocking out nearly all his opponents

[@The_World_Champion.]

I can't lie that's a powerful statement 🤔

[@Thanoswasright]

@@The_World_Champion. ive got nothing against Whittaker and hope he does well his style is entertaining and very similar to the prince, but the comparison to prince Naseem i dont think will be matched he hasn’t got the KO power to take him to the levels the prince was at (just my personal opinion hope he proves me wrong)

[@Fyafli]

Totally agree, don't know if anybody noticed but the other guy is also not Mike Tyson.

[@HappyBadminton-kp6lr]

Love watching Ben from fiji. Very talented young man. The other young fellah is very good too. He still young, but i think he will get better and he will be a champion one day.

I love Ben and his ability to box and entertain. It just shows theres levels to this. If you dont like it, go watch some one else.

[@lrtvhighlights3687]

He struggled to stop a area level fighter clearly he has no ability to box ..... Looked absolutely silly last night

[@winstonpeanutbutter]

People been asking for boxing to be entertaining again yet seem to hate this guy more than anyone else, these boxing fans are lost 🤦🏾‍♂️. Dude has 6 pro fights and they're acting like this is his level as if all the top boxers became Champions in 8 fights.

@@lrtvhighlights3687 you should step in the ring with him since he has no ability to box, you'll floor him I'm sure.

[@terrystephens8603]

What I'm trying to say yes showboat but he is not Naseem Hamed.He can go far if he doesn't do something stupid because at higher levels he will not get away with that.

[@thatguy2.09]

The show boating looks corny when its forced n not effective. Its like watching Anthony from man utd spin in a circle. You can have flair but be productive with it.

[@Partoftheratpack]

Agreed. Looks a massive clown

[@Fabiopampillo-ko5pe]

Both are very good boxers. Whitaker has an amazing style and Whitaker kept calm almost during the entire fight he could be great with better coaching

Watch both these men i cant wait for the rematches.
