He’s only 7 and 0. Give the guy a chance to develop at his own pace. Hopefully he’ll stay with Sky and develop. Those rounds and being tagged wouldn’t have done him any harm. Good luck Ben, keep it going mate.
Hate it how in sports now, one bad game of footy or one bad outing in boxing & your labelled completely different to what you was before. Everyone young is learning on the sport / job. Give him a few more and if he doesn’t step on the gas then this comments should come!
Lomachenko was a two division champion by his 7th fight 😂😂 This guys the next josh Kelly
@@samclark6077 I’m sure that if he does lose, there will be lots of the “I told you so” brigade ready to pipe up. Personally I hope he does well.
@@DeeezB 100%
He doesn’t deserve the chance to develop at his own pace. He’s selfish, rude and thinks way too much of himself. He won’t be a world champ.
People say what they like , personally I like his style and his work ethic is clear to see low key little bit of food back in the gym Monday . And for all the “ he has pillow fists “ you don’t need to knock everyone out to win fights and belts - hit and not be hit he has that 😉
Why so much hate on Ben Whitaker in the comment section, this guy is bringing entertainment in the boxing game chill out man
He already knows boxxer not for him that’s why he already planning next move with Eddie.
@@d.b.cooper1 yeah he wants to go make it in us and Ben shalom can not do that for him Eddie is the only promoter who can make it for him trying to crack the us market and also still be able to fight in uk
He had his chance to sign with Eddie and he chose the clown
@@omarboss3649 the same Eddie that hasn't made a single star in the US?
@@HisExcellencyB it's true but saudi is where its at atm, saudi have done what vegas did to boxing many years ago
Who has Eddie from the Uk made a star in the US?
I've never had a problem with the showboating but it feels a bit forced at times and it backfired last night
Didn’t backfire he barely did it
@@bt7033 beacuse it wasn't working. The other lad kept hitting him
@@HisExcellencyB Bit like Wilder, couldn’t get going because he was getting countered and being made to look amateur by Parker. 😥 Also like Wilder he’ll get found out when he steps up.
@matthewturner8063 difference is ben can actually throw a jab unlike windmill wilder
@@matthewturner8063 Ben has more skills than everyone in the boxing game so that example is not valid. Wilder couldnt do any better because he cant be better than that. Ben can stop doing funny things in the ring and fight seriously
Well done Ben very entertaining to watch as usual 🙏
I have faith in Whittaker, don't just give up on what got you to where your at bz of nay sayers. Just continue to build on your strengths, credit to willings also. He made it hard for Ben to get his usual style off and made a good account of himself.
A big personality for someone who hasn’t achieved anything yet. Concentrate on the job in hand and achieve something before you start giving it the ‘billy big spuds’
💯
Why you hating on a man who has confidence mate
Hmmm there’s a different between confidence and arrogance…
@@Coxysthoughts mate arrogance is insecurity in disguise, when you watch his interview's nothing about the man speaks insecurity, its simple confidence bruv.
TBF Olympic silver medal ain’t nothing is it
He WANTS you to go after his head because he's slippery, knows he can easily make you miss...so let's see how he goes when his opponent immediatly goes to work downstairs, doing the opposite of what he wants, taking him to a different place...we will see, but im not convinced untill i see him pressured , not being allowed to dictate & control at his own pace..
Boss has got glasses on because he knows his face looks damaged
All that showboating and he’s got pillow fists. Imagine what Beterbiev would do to him 👀
Sorry I didn’t know that;he’s in the same weight clad as BETERBIEV ?! Wow OK
@@thechosenone93 certainly is mr casual
@@lolitapitpong3826 Yes I’m new to boxjng,what’s your point?
The thought of him trying to tap Beterbiev on the head on it's own is hilarious. Matchroom will protect him when he goes to them & not move him up like they should for a 27yo Olympic pedigree fighter who everyone hypes
He's not gonna get that far.
He needs to link up with Ben Davison or go to America and train with Jaron Ennis and Bozy Ennis.
And hang out with diddy?
lol 2 minutes ago he was boxercise ben and a cheerleader. now hes the new eddie futch. boxing fans are so unbelievably fickle its untrue.
@@stevebb2915 I never called him boxercise ben you casual. I always respected him for joining forces with Lee Wylie. He also did a tremendous job with Fury.
@@ecw787 ahhh casual. the go to insult of the insecure boxing fan. incidently, if you read rather than react on emotion, i never said you specifically.
@@stevebb2915 You responded to my comment insinuating that I called him boxercise ben. Now that I called you out for being a casual you are retracting your words.
People need to stop hating and support this young man.He has a bright future ahead of him,mark my words and stop bitching .
People are hating on him because of his creativity, they ain't never seen someone fight so abnormally its really sad how they can't see the Greatness in him mate.
He’s was getting caught and marked up by a guy who came in on 1 weeks notice and had a loss on his record to a journeyman. Completely unproven
@@Olympiamaniac lol so
@@thereclusiveartist33 so he will get found out and banged out when he fights someone who has a full camp notice and is above southern area level
@@Olympiamaniac bruv this is combat sport not WWE. All these predictions you making are just assumptions you created in your head.
I do enjoy the showboating but as he goes up in levels IF he stays showboating it’ll only be a mater of time before he gets chinned,he’s already leaving a lot of openings to get chinned so expect that to happen in a few fights time maybe sooner
“I couldn’t knock him out because he had that nervous energy” yeah ok
Makes sense to me!
Ben's a mad one who'll pull it out the hat every time 🇬🇧 👊
He moves his head like he’s being interviewed by more than one person. It’s irritating.😂
Doing a stevie wonder
People are just jealous of ben he’s a showman and an Olympian I’m not saying he is the next prince naseem hamed because that is a ridiculous statement to make but ben Whittaker has a bright future 🤩
He just needs to add power to his skillset (which is possible) he'll be a GOAT
Floyd Mayweather, Joe Calzaghe both remained undefeated and both labelled by disrespectful casuals as pillow fists. Ben Whittaker if he remains injury free will have a decent career. His movement is great. I’m sure once he’s in serious bouts he’ll stay focused. Glad his English and look forward to watching his career.
Just a top bloke. Doesn't care too much what the nay sayers say. Keep on moving on and up.
Let him build and build and eventually he can be in the mix for a world title. Got to give him chance to grow.
No chance.
ive got reservations how good ben whittaker can be we need to see him against someone much better
Never seen him wearing sunglasses after a fight let’s look at your eyes mate think he got a nice black eye there 🤔
Yea he got touched up more than ever😮
@@lastonewonfrom a guy who’s lost to a journey man and came in on 1 weeks notice
So he's in the same division as Buatsi and Yarde?
Eddie needs to sign this man for big big bucks
Is my man seeing double?
😂😂😂
SPEED AND SKILLS BRILLIANT DEFENSIVE SKILLS, BUT NOT ENOUGH POWER. CAUGHT HIM CLEAN AND NO KNOCK OUT. REMINDS ME OF JOSH KELLY
U don't need knockout power to be a skilled fighter mate
@@thereclusiveartist33 You do sadly, Beterbiev is a great example, AJ is too. You need knockout power.
@@younisainine818 nah not really
Similar to Billy joe and other natural talents he lacks power and if that's not addressed in the next few camps his limit will be over the next 2-3 fights
They won’t match him with anybody that has a good KO power or a good left hook. They will move him slowly. Shalom can’t afford to put him in a 50-50 fight for a while. He will get to 15/20 -0 no need to rush him. He has time to improve. Let’s see what he looks like in 10-15 fights time.
Nice sun glasses lol melt funny how the show boating stopped after round 5
ur 40
All the sheeple will say ‘so humble’.. because…. These engineers and doctors are always so humble aren’t they
Any chance he might be onto the next?
Love Whitaker.. too many haters on here for young talent
How can u compare Ben to him after a few fights. Different levels
His already planning his exit, got the bag get a few pro fights and going to a proper promotion 😂
frank or eddie?
I thought he looked pretty average to be honest and he is a long way from fighting top level fighters. Hope he moves to Eddie and can improve in time. Always nice having characters like him in the sport, but not smoke and mirror fighters.
It felt like he was stuck in two minds, didnt know if he should showboat or not. He started very aggressively for some reason almost tryna prove a point, if he continues that itll be his demise, he has to do his own thing first and foremost
Gonna get humbled real quick when he steps up.
I love the showboating. Just like Naz Hamid did. But if i was a boxer. Would i want to get in the ring with them just to be humiliated. Probably not. But keep it up Ben its good entertainment. If you've got it flaunt it i say. 👍
Should be fighting world level fighters like Gamal Yafai is. Waste of time you fighting these guys.
Based on what? You get to world level through experience, the guy he fought was no chump. You are judging the man’s moves off of hype and expectation. He will be at world level and I’d bet earlier than most would be.
It's too risky for his promoter at this stage. They want him to build experience for the time being, but I believe he will get knocked out by a proper boxer
Clearly know nothing
You work your way up to world level it doesn’t happen overnight.
Are you new to boxing or something?
He’s regretting not joining DAZN. Would definitely have some of that Saudi money by now.
Show me another 7 fight prospect with this kind of lightning in a bottle. Haters will hate
Domestic level at best
His ego will be his undoing. Hype train is rolling 🙄
Who cares it's entertainment regardless. I enjoy both sides - when the showboating works and even when it flops and he gets slugged. It's a fun watch regardless
it's an entertainment sport you do realise, the attraction and hype hes got an he's 7-0 is incredible 95% of boxers barely make enough money to get by at that stage and hes probably making a shit tonne from his following
@@thelegendarydeikay3071 is he competing for belts, titles or popularity and attention?
The greatest in boxing had ego. Ego is important.
@@JuMow_ granted but not after 7 low key fights, pipe down
Hands of foam
Most of boxxers fighters will leave frazer Clarke had a go at them and ben
Some Boxing pundits keep saying Whittaker is a Big talent but i dont see it. Some compare him to Nas but he's nowhere near
This dude will struggle up the levels 100😊
Same as it ever was, flashy show boaters who look good against journeymen. He will get sparked out when he levels up. There is a reason why the best boxers of all time box how they do, this guy wont ever be more than British/ European level.
He's a good fighter, but he gets hit & there's levels to this, he will come unstuck when he steps up to European or world class
Couldn't get rid of a guy that's not at British level. Another example of a mouth who can't back up trash talking.
U can’t get rid of everyone tho that’s not how boxing works. Look how many fighters have a 100% ko ratio in boxing. Very few…
@@rayabahmed1624these arm chair critics think if you can’t KO everyone you’re no good 😂 like it’s easy to KO a trained boxer
@@rayabahmed1624You have to take into consideration that, for the casual fan, only Tyson Fury can win on points and be considered a good fighter. Anyone else who wins this way is useless
@@AnthonyKZhead-dn9od Exactly. They should watch KZhead boxing then
@@GordyB666 legit
Reminds me of a hippie of he’s head on LSD
When Ben gets clipped and beat he will take he's loss bad due to he's brash style
So he makes a music video does some kiddy fortnite dance in thr ring and when asked if he's gonna step it up or be happy fighting bums he says it's upto my team. This new generational fighters maaan
It definitely was a setup they know he's going to matchroom soon
You got to fake it to you make it 😂
Show boaters struggle against text book boxers for a young kid he done well didn’t get knocked out
Hes.definatley going to matchroom once his sky contract ends boxxer done a piss poor job with him
I thought Ben was ready to step up to youtuber level but on that performance maybe not yet.
If he steps up to quick he will get ironed out. Not got the power to go all the may in my humble opinion
Shades 😎 indoors
Probably marked up
Someone wearing sunglasses indoors? What crazyness, never seen that before. Almost like shades are a fashion statement and not just for blocking out the sun.
Kids in big trouble as soon as he boxes a southpaw or orthodox fighter with a good left hook. Night night.
2nd that mate 💯
Can tell hes gutted reality kicking in
I like a bit of showboating but for some reason it’s a bit cringe with this chap. Naz’s showboating seemed to flow more naturally. Seems a bit contrived, odd moves
His eyes 👀 are too close together
the only set up was francis ngaonou
Poor guy goes to bed watching Naz videos on KZhead
Stick him in with azeez now
Ben Whittaker was challenged multiple times last year and this by extreme martial artist lightheavy weight combat master OLISA ERIC OSSAI to boxing match but hes been avoiding him & terrified of him
Whittaker has been ducking ossai for a long time. He’s not gonna risk his undefeated record against the elite fighters
Personally love the showboating. These guys can’t win. So much more exciting to watch
Have you seen the fighters in your division? They don’t want or need you lad and if you don’t find some sort of power to stop the big boys walking through you it’s going to be all hype until you get absolutely spanked on your big night .
He talking as if he’s fighting world beaters. Reality check bruv, you are fighting low level opposition who aren’t even getting 2 weeks notice.
Too focused on showboating against tomato cans, he’ll get slept when/if he eventually steps up to boxers that can box rather than journeymen to pad a record
Lacks power. European level at best
Listen I think his antics are funny but he’s gotta be careful about calling out a promoter. Other promoters he may potentially sign to won’t like that. Only a few guys like Canelo, tank, fury, and aj are big enough to call out promoters.
Sorry to say its not like that,promoters need the fighters not the other way around especially high profile fighters like Olympic meddalist, he gets a signing fee to be with them..
@@imperialkingdom4821 why don’t other fighters call their promoters out in public? Fighters and promoters are always at odds. Promoters don’t actually care about fighters. To them fighters are just cogs in the business machine. But there’s a certain code that almost everyone follows
Matchroom have wanted him for ages, He's going to them all but confirmed.
He so cocky that having to be his coach would be a terrible job if he carries on he will get clipped and get stopped ...watch the mma fighter who was dancing he got caught and was flat out this lad 100 percent will end up same
He hasn’t got enough power to be doing the show boating shit. Good luck to him tho
Bringing entertainment back to boxing this guys going places f**k the haters💪🏻🥊
Boxing is no longer a sport, it's now entertainment. There is a whole series before the fight, another series after.... It's like a marvel universe with all the spin offs and sub-series. Everybody is getting a paid from one night of boxing.
Rainbow brows 🌈
Y’all hate but nun of y’all have ever fought stfu and let the man fight in piece 😂I like it and I’m a one piece fan if he falls I will still be supporting Jesus is real go look for him
OVERATED WHEN U STEP UP U R IN TROUBLE
He’s got no power he’s down for with showboating like that an no power especially at world level he will get destroyed 😩🤣🤣
He seems fake to me! 🤷🏽 I think it’s just a matter of time he’s exposed.
Set up? 😂 Just do what u claim in build up and you will get all the credit u deserve! But don’t claim to be gold then turn up silver
If you can't KO guys at this level, you shouldn't be dancing about like a buffoon.
Whittaker thinks he is better than what he is ? Boxing is all about Levels ? Try taking liberties with Higher levels and he will be Led on his back looking up at the Stars 😂😂 its only a matter of Time ???
Dumb click bait headline as per usual
Very skillfull but lacks power
His face is battered
Ben will move to Matchroom to progress his career. Boxxer have done a terrible job!
Match room match room Eddie Eddie 😂😂😂
@filleshell I have no interest in promotional companies or promoters. I just like watching fights
@filleshell another Huw burner 🤣
Yes matchroom are much better at making hype jobs look good. Just look at AJ.........
@filleshell burner
Btec head knodding Naz
Less show boating mate🙄
Over rated clown can’t stand the guy , they’ve got him a superstar and he’s definitely not
stop hating
He will never be a huge star under boxxer
His sunglasses and his show-boating won't look so clever when he steps up and gets knocked out. I'll be the first one to applaud as I was when Barrera schooled Hamed.
Hamed atleast had incredible power for the weight. Barrera didnt atand infront of Nas and trade. He completely outboxed him. This guy is fast and flashy but doesnt have the crazy power Nas had so at his age 27 I dont think his power is going to change much
@@letsgettothemarkswe all know what would have happened had Hamed rematches him.
He didn't school Hamed it was 115-112, 115-112, 116-111 and just to enlighten you Hamed past out the night before the fight trying to lose the last bit of weight plus he'd been out of the ring for 9 months with hand trouble but hey don't take my words take Barrera's “Morales is definitely the toughest opponent I have faced, because it almost seemed whenever I hit him it wouldn't hurt him. And he's a guy who would constantly give me pressure, and he hit really, really hard. When asked to name the best boxer he fought he named Naseem Hamed.7 Feb 2024
@@blacknero1 they don’t care tbh. Had Hamed trained properly he wouldn’t have needed to lose that last bit of weight but he lacked discipline. Unfortunately for him it was his last time on the big stage. He left at the right time anyway. Made good investments. Some bad mistakes. Jail time. And now is back on his feet again.
@@dandanlovesdisblock Hamed refused the rematch!
Your video prologues are excessive!
