Yea that’s because the best entertainment is when you get a knockout. Ali was this good at show boating but finished people off. Naz as well. If we want to watch dancing for 10 rounds we’d watch strictly on a Saturday nite
The comments still thinks it's still the 1980's - 1990's. Whittaker always trying to go viral will make him millions more than just being some no-name. Even if he eventually loses, he'll end up making the money that champions make.
That's fair but I'd still prefer to watch a slick operator that is a volume puncher not a KO puncher if they're exciting and could be upset at any moment over a more traditional and less flashy boxer.
People keep yapping about Whittaker's punching power but Ezra can't even knock him out either and had to resort to cheap tricks despite his solid record (but still losing lol). At least Whittaker can put on a show while proving who dominates the fight.
@@Lewis-wq8de it ain’t allways about power it’s about the sweet science of boxing 🥊 and Ben has that he is only 8 fights in also and he is improving with every fight are you British 🇬🇧
The kid needs rounds and experience. This fella brought him some nice problems inside that he dealt with. Patience is needed. Once he starts getting twelve round bouts he can worry about the knockouts. Does anyone think he couldn't have stepped on the gas? A nice bout, no walk over, plenty of taking points and rounds in the bag. Great match making career wise
Whittaker has 2 silvers 1 bronze and a gold medal, and now his first title with only his first 8 fights. Give the kid some credit he's beating who's in front of him.
I would like to see you 12 round getting humiliated by this monster with pink gloves. I mean, you would probably cry like a little baby after the first round, you real man

He looks the part & until I hear he is banging decent opposition out he ain't getting another watch from me. Sky boxing is just terrible. I mean the CBS headline was one of the worst fights I have ever seen.
@@Astrophobia88 Let's see, if anyone can it's him. But I am worried about the seriousness of this knee injury. But Bivol has been dropped by inferior fighters.
@@andrewhezekiahdanielYeah Bivol will make it look easy as its extremely clear how much slower Beterbiev has been for the past few years. And Bivol is in his prime years, it would of been a much much better fight 5 or more years ago. Bivol made canelo look really slow and canelo is much faster than Beterbiev.
Luckily for Ben, he's literally stepping backwards. Looked average in his last fight against an AREA LEVEL fighter so they decided to have him fight a nigerian international uni student with 10 padded fights against African villagers lol
It's not impressive from a boxers outlook. What's strange is whitaker doesn't seem to have explosive power for his weight. If he put more time into explosive attacks as much as he does showboating he would be really dangerous. But even here he is still getting tagged by a slow speed and not technical fighter which is concerning. Fighters now need to go after his body as tag it as its easier target to hit then work the head. Similar to the guy in his last fight when he was on the ropes being worked on. We all know ben wants to do that head swish to the side movement but his body is still there to be hit. High level IQ fighters like me can see it on a mobile screen so imagine in real person how fast a technical fighter can register simple mistakes like that on ben. And what's more weird is why can't Ben finish an opponent who's clearly fatigued in front of you and go up a gear? There's just a lot of question marks which at high level he absolutely will get hurt or even slept. Being confident is great being over confident is dangerous.
He's still very young & learning his trade in just now he's ubuthadox so maybe he's not been trained how to get the real power in those punches that come from nowhere, where & when .
Mate if your not impressed by Ben then I'm not sure u know much about the sport. Makes me laugh how all theses sunday boxers can comment on such a talent. Ul see what he does in the sport sit back and watch.
@GMTReady from a fighters perspective not a fan. I'm talking from a technical standpoint. When you break it down. Showboating but yet still getting caught by a slow fighter not just this fight but his last one. He hasn't finished his last 2 opponents. And doing showboating against a low skilled opponent isn't great. The stuff whitaker is doing isn't special I done it for years and can do it now still it's easy. He is vulnerable. Gives me barrera vs prince naseem vibes. What I'm saying is look past the tricks and glamour and see it for what it was. Fans are entertained and think omg he is amazing he can move but really he is okay. Pernall whitaker, Mike tyson, Floyd mayweather, lomachenko , canelo are the levels he should get to. If you getting tagged now you are an accident waiting to happen my friend.
@@slaves329.I know a lot my friend. I'm planning on going pro in autumn. Reason I haven't is due to long term covid. Only just got my body back on track. I'm no Sunday boxer. Boxed way before whitaker here just never went pro. The stuff he does I can do easy. It's not as hard as you think especially against someone slower than you. As a person I like Ben. But where he is stage wise and the showboating he needs to put people away. Otherwise it reminds me of josh Kelly's first pro loss and how bad he looked. The same will happen to him if he keeps at this rate. Even I know that style and I also know many other styles sometimes you got to stand and bang and get in the trenches. We haven't seen that from him yet nor what happens when he gets hurt and super low on energy. Has potential but atm it's reached its ceiling.
What is up with yall hating? He barely just started as a professional and you already want him to go for killers. Everyone at the beginning of their fighting careers fight at the lowest levels to build up their records. Nobody starts at championship level. That's like people expecting Pacquiao and Mayweather to be a serious contender in their 4th or 5th fights as a boxer.
It’s hard to say because he doesn’t really sit down on his punches. His style seems to be a mixture of showboating, fast flurries, and pot-shots. The pot shots and flurries is an amateur thing, so maybe once that’s worn off he’ll start to dig his heels in and develop a bit of power
He has an it will especially show when goes up the levels if he’s got no knockout power at world level he’s going to have a hard time keeping big punchers off him also has his been hit properly yet by someone who can bang ? He’s obviously got talent but there’s a lot of questions to be asked of him yet before we can see how good he is
Problem with Whittaker is that he is not as good as he thinks he is.He just another Naseem named and Amur khan,,as soon as he comes up against a top notch opponent he will get found out.
@@elliotbowden1083 Ahmed and khan had records like that and look how it turned out for them.Time will tell,it always does and it will show he is not as good as he thinks he is.
@@jamieround2784 naseem and Amir Khan, you mean world champions? Beating multiple top 10 fighters 😂.. If I was called overrated but won all that I'd laugh at the couch warrior who said it tbh
@@elliotbowden1083go on boxrec mate look at his wins. They're against only journey men, most of them, it wasn't even their 4th fight. he was clearly fighting on small hall shows cos he could sell tickets.
If you saw Joe Calzaghe after 8 fights, you'd realise he was nowhere near Whittaker's skill. In Calzaghe's 8th fight, he fought a guy who was 10-13, his next fight was agains a guy 26-21. Whittaker has just beaten a world level prospect with ease. You people are astounding in your prejudice...
He is more concerned about showmanship than winning the fight. With his speed, if he focused on actually beating down his opponents, he wouldn’t have to be in the ring for that long, someone will knock him out soon.
My issue with Whittaker isn't the showboating. It's the fact he's one of those fighters who would rather make their opponent look like a training partner than just getting them out of there. Sooner or later fighters like him get into a real fight with a real fighter who is not going to let certain opportunities go where he steps on the outside with zero defense. Against Beterbiev or Bivol? He's toast.
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
He’s not all that to be fair you can see that as he’s stepping up, Ezra got close and he’s fought tomato cans. When he steps up to European level he will get found out maybe even British

@@os12481 Ibf international I mean hard to say nowadays, I guess one would get a top 15 ranking winning that. This is smart match making, Ezra has fought nobody to get a ranking and an international belt is on the line, this fight would be more like a southern area level as Ben hasn’t fought anyone good enough to win the British
He should be knocking these early opponents out. He'll struggle as he moves up without a bit of power to hurt people. A little bit boring, to be honest
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.

Theres s good case for Ezra winning this Def hit Ben with the better shots to head though Ben came with body shots but Ezra also put bod shots & was litrally making the entire fight
As soon as this kid gets in with a half decent operator he's getting exposed. No power, poor defence and and a style made to look very silly when things go wrong.

@@Kai_776 He didn't make him look decent if you watch boxing a bit; Ben made Ezra look like he was given every chance to showcase his skills, but still had nothing to show for it.
Anyone that thinks Whittaker doesn't take fights seriously makes me question whether or not we're watching the same fight. 2:55 Ezra makes a comment and Whittaker doesn't even register it, he's 100% dialed in. It's all part of the strategy which seems to be working even outside of the ring.
Why are people just coming here to hate , the guy is an Olympic silver medalist and a great boxer everyone has there own style of boxing . Boxing is a way of expressing you’re self and there’s no one way of doing it just because he isn’t doing what the other boxers do doesn’t mean its not good
No question Whitaker is talented and exciting to watch but at the moment it’s 75% showboating 25% putting the work in. Imagine if that was other way round….so much potential here
Conheço pouco do Ben, mas só pelo pouco, já dá para ver que ele é um lutador limpo, e eu gosto disso, pq se fosse outra pessoa lutando contra esse cara sujo, séria totalmente diferente ele não retribuiu a cabeçada nem a cotovelada ele jogou limpo e ganhou muito bom
There is a method for him: guard and constant pressure. Some bigger Pittbull Cruz and he will be in trouble. If you don't believe me, watch Whittaker vs. Khyzniak. Have fun
Considering Ezra was 12-0 with 10 knockouts ben made him look silly
12-0 against nobody good.

Problem with Whittaker is that he is not as good as he thinks he is.He just another Naseem named and Amur khan,,as soon as he comes up against a top notch opponent he will get found out.
@@elliotbowden1083 Ahmed and khan had records like that and look how it turned out for them.Time will tell,it always does and it will show he is not as good as he thinks he is.
@@jamieround2784 naseem and Amir Khan, you mean world champions? Beating multiple top 10 fighters 😂.. If I was called overrated but won all that I'd laugh at the couch warrior who said it tbh
@@elliotbowden1083go on boxrec mate look at his wins. They're against only journey men, most of them, it wasn't even their 4th fight.
he was clearly fighting on small hall shows cos he could sell tickets.
Once upon a time we had Joe Calzaghe.... Now we have this mess 😢
Couldn't agree more 👍
If you saw Joe Calzaghe after 8 fights, you'd realise he was nowhere near Whittaker's skill. In Calzaghe's 8th fight, he fought a guy who was 10-13, his next fight was agains a guy 26-21. Whittaker has just beaten a world level prospect with ease. You people are astounding in your prejudice...
Facts! Ben couldn’t even lace Calzaghe’s boots!
@@ConorFrancis How many times you watched Calzaghe?
Cal-slappy overrated.
He is more concerned about showmanship than winning the fight. With his speed, if he focused on actually beating down his opponents, he wouldn’t have to be in the ring for that long, someone will knock him out soon.
My issue with Whittaker isn't the showboating.
It's the fact he's one of those fighters who would rather make their opponent look like a training partner than just getting them out of there.
Sooner or later fighters like him get into a real fight with a real fighter who is not going to let certain opportunities go where he steps on the outside with zero defense.
Against Beterbiev or Bivol?
He's toast.
Whittaker Reminds me of the Character on Ready to Rumble on the DreamCast with some of the punches and way he moves lol
My Childhood revived. Classic game!
Entertaining fighter all the hate is unnecessary.
@Steven-zy7bl Think that’s the one bro,Definitely see the Resemblance
Was absolute Cracking Game,When a seen Whittaker fight a was like hold on a have seen this style before haha
@Steven-zy7bl LOL yeh
Whittaker has embarrassed himself multiple times against no named. This is funny now. Lol
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
He dominated to u talking about
Embarrassed he outright won that fight.
Ezra looked like Adesanya
Headbutts elbows and dancing that's my sort of night out 😂😂😂
looking forward to this guy finding his level and finding out
the lookaway dodge is so effective and at the same time hilariously disrespectful 😂
Swear he just swats or slaps most the time😂
You think it’s showboating we kno it’s class . Keep biting your crayons and crying
Not the traditional type of boxing but very entertaining imo
He should change his nickname to whitebeard. So it will be Ben “whitebeard” Whittaker
I dont get it? - ben
Yeah don’t get it either… very random 🤔
@@honeythebully2453Most likely due to his Curly Hair lads,Anyway Schools over today come back tomorrow for some more explaining
Haha, it's a reference to the tattoo that he has on his back. too long to explain lol.
Totally agree! He is part of the whitebeard pirates.
Foda. Só um cara forte no infighte com grande potência curta pra encurralar ele e ter chance. Sem aproximação ele vai dominar sempre.
Nunca vi alguém esquivar de tanto golpe certeiro assim, parece que ele prevê bem antes o movimento do adversário Parabéns Whittaker 👏👏👏
He’s not all that to be fair you can see that as he’s stepping up, Ezra got close and he’s fought tomato cans. When he steps up to European level he will get found out maybe even British
what level is ibf international?
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
@@os12481 Ibf international I mean hard to say nowadays, I guess one would get a top 15 ranking winning that. This is smart match making, Ezra has fought nobody to get a ranking and an international belt is on the line, this fight would be more like a southern area level as Ben hasn’t fought anyone good enough to win the British
This guy will get beat when he enters the proper world top 10 . Hes another josh kelly .
He should be knocking these early opponents out. He'll struggle as he moves up without a bit of power to hurt people. A little bit boring, to be honest
Yeh. I'd like to see him getting them outta there. Either he's playing around with his food, or he just lacks the power to stop them.
he's the next Muhammad Ali i swear to god ❤
That was impressive to watch. He's so quick and on point. The body shots must add up a lot too.
Ben couldn’t knock the top of an egg , no power
Leave Conor Benn out of this
It's about winning! You haven't hit the lottery yet after fifty years 😂😅😊❤ and you still play
Headbutt at 3.21
AND ELBOWING.....
Whitaker is hilarious but he will get knocked out cold when he steps up in class. Guaranteed.
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
those who say he doesn’t have the power are jealous nobodies
The guy is brilliant and he’s powerful too
He only has to showboat less and focus on the beating and connecting properly
That’s all
Ben Whittaker 🤜🏻🤛🏻💥
Sky editing makes the fight look completely different 😅
Was it a much closer fight?
It was scored 99 - 90 tho lool
These are HIGHlights 😂
I mean they made it look like he was showboating more. He was actually boxing quite well
@@ACJnr yeah he didn't showboat much at all which is slightly worrying that it went the distance
Theres s good case for Ezra winning this Def hit Ben with the better shots to head though Ben came with body shots but Ezra also put bod shots & was litrally making the entire fight
Got hit way too much for being such a technician not impressed
Looks like someone's found their level then..
Some may not like Whittakers' style, but he made me really respect and love him here. Headbutted and elbowed but was unphased. Kudos BW
headbutt @ 3:03 😭
As soon as this kid gets in with a half decent operator he's getting exposed. No power, poor defence and and a style made to look very silly when things go wrong.
This video almost convinced me I could be a pro boxer myself… my god, what a shambles.
Easy to say till u in there
Boxing and sport is about entertainment and he entertains 🔥
He'll get caught one of these days...he's entertaining yes but a smart fighter will exploit it one day.
A nice level up in opponent and still very composed. Looking forward to his next fight.
his had 12 fights lol tell me one boxer who fought anyone decent after 12 fights other than loma or usyk ppl love to hate ,, jealousy
Usyk was on his way to being undisputed cruiserweight after 12 fights
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
Joshua became World Heavyweight Champion after 9 fights
Naoya Inoue, probably the best boxer walking through planet right now was a two weight world Champ by his 9th fight...
Err how about most of his 2020 Olympics teammates? Olympians like him who have been full time boxers their whole life are meant to move much much faster especially when aged 27. Clearly you don’t get boxing
He will be in serious trouble, when he faces a better boxer 🥊🥊
People criticising Ben for showboating, but if it wasn’t for the showboating you wouldn’t watch!!! Be honest , What other 7 fight boxer do you guys care about???
Not him
When he goes up a level Whitaker will be hammered. This gimmick which has been done before will cost him big time.
This kid will become a superstar in boxing
Ben schooled him 😂 Looked like he was playing with his food the whole fight until the last 30 seconds. He should have gone for the KO from the start of the last round. Good performance still 👏🏾
Played with the food and didn't eat it, you of all people should see that!
I expected better from ben, ezra started boxing 8 years ago and survived all 10 rounds,. Ben Mr Olympican shoukd of stopped ezra in the first 3 rounds.He made ezra look half decent.
@@DaboooogA He wasn't that hungry. What kinda meal is this that he needed to make sure he ate? 😂 He got a UD in gear 2.
@@Kai_776 He didn't make him look decent if you watch boxing a bit; Ben made Ezra look like he was given every chance to showcase his skills, but still had nothing to show for it.
Keep making excuses 😂
Turning his head away from his opponent will be his downfall
one of the days, it will happen
this showboating needs to stop, he needs to take his fights serious and box more technical
Anyone that thinks Whittaker doesn't take fights seriously makes me question whether or not we're watching the same fight. 2:55 Ezra makes a comment and Whittaker doesn't even register it, he's 100% dialed in. It's all part of the strategy which seems to be working even outside of the ring.
When cocky fighters get knocked out.... I hope to see Whittaker in one of those videos one day.
Remember that video of the UFC fighter who was dancing and got caught right in the middle of his dance. Thats what I see in Whitakers future.
Yeah once he steps up to world level that style isn’t going to work. I’d love to see him get knocked out.
He will struggle to win a British title
Wdym? he just won an international title which is definitely harder to achieve than a british title
Not with the amount of money sky have invested into him…. They will get him a 10/11-0 kid with 0 -2 knock outs for the British. On 6 weeks notice.
I don’t mind the showboating, but this is second fight recently that’s gone all 10 rounds. He needs to finish people off sooner.
Why didn't he close the show. Had the chance.
Normally at the start of their contracts they get paid more per round
He didn't really, there were like 10 seconds left in final round. He said himself he would've got him out of there but couldn't.
@d.b.cooper1 Had him rocked 15 seconds left, let's start showboating and throw 3 punches.
Why are people just coming here to hate , the guy is an Olympic silver medalist and a great boxer everyone has there own style of boxing . Boxing is a way of expressing you’re self and there’s no one way of doing it just because he isn’t doing what the other boxers do doesn’t mean its not good
No question Whitaker is talented and exciting to watch but at the moment it’s 75% showboating 25% putting the work in. Imagine if that was other way round….so much potential here
He reminds me of Sideshow Bob. 😂
Hype job side show Bob
@@dm2201 I'm still undecided on what I think about him tbh..yeah it's kinda funny, but the serious boxer side of me is not sold yet.
ben show bob😂
Yhh he can do all of this now but let’s see him try this against beterbiev or bivol if he even gets to that level
Boring and sloppy.
Outclassed out boxed out everything
Conheço pouco do Ben, mas só pelo pouco, já dá para ver que ele é um lutador limpo, e eu gosto disso, pq se fosse outra pessoa lutando contra esse cara sujo, séria totalmente diferente ele não retribuiu a cabeçada nem a cotovelada ele jogou limpo e ganhou muito bom
Fosse o maywhater esse negão tava lascado kkk mlk joga limpo mesmo
An elbow and headbutt😮
Dancing 🕺 comes with it 😂😂😂😂
Shite
I see myself tuning in to Whittaker’s future fights… to watch him get knocked out.
Good to see a fellow Midlander making waves in the boxing world!
There is a method for him: guard and constant pressure. Some bigger Pittbull Cruz and he will be in trouble. If you don't believe me, watch Whittaker vs. Khyzniak. Have fun
