@@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.
@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.
Some of the top tier UK coaches and trainers should consider taking Leon Willings under their wing. Take a look at the footage. That gent has genuine raw talent. Based on Boxrec, he doesn't seem to have an amateur record, but his movement, defense and stamina are on point.
Willings was amazing but nothing will compare to Ben for me. Pure talent, and an entertainer. People can hate on him as much as they want but he's someone that we needed in this industry in boxing.
Bunch of men praying on another man’s downfall, sad. I give Leon Willings his props, he’s a fighter who is better than people think, he’s got talent. Whitaker will be fine.
it's not wanting anyone's downfall I watched boxing for 45 years + and the only one is going to cause his own downfall is whittaker very talented no power and getting caught as many times he did of an area titled fighter who took the fight at short notice there massive levels to this game look at the comments not everyone is wrong whittaker need to concentrate on mastering the craft or it won't be long before he gets starched out!!!! no hate here willings did a great job
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.
Scroll up or down and it won’t take you long to find some hate. Stop pretending it doesn’t exist… Like it’s some foreign concept for an unorthodox fighter to receive criticism?
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.
@breathoffreshair7314 Nobody said he invented this style. Just because I said this is his style doesn't mean it's his alone. I could say Southpaw is Sergio Martinez's style of fighting. That doesn't he invented it. Btw, Ali never fought like this, Whittaker's style is most similar to Naz, and even then, Ben has his own unique movements and rhythm.
Ben just needs more fight experience and after that I know he is on track with the legends… his character and style is there, he just needs to sharpen the blade at this point. He takes the pressure off the most serious fights. I LOVE IT.
The commentators on this are heavily against Ben Whittaker saying that he’s essentially boxing for Instagram views because he has a brave and confident style fair play to Leon but after round 5 he barely gives the fans any kind of fight and the fight relies on Ben’s pressure then they complain that he doesn’t show boat enough like can he breathe in peace?
ah right the dancing and chatting up spectators mid round is confident "style" and non attention grabbing behaviour. I believe Whittaker is a very talented fighter non the less.
People really be festering with hatred inside, directed towards a brand new boxer and such a young, genuine lad. People truly are beyond hateful, because he keeps proving everyone thats He's a rising legend.
Whether Ben becomes a more traditional slick, defensive counterpuncher or if his dancing style makes a title fight comeback, I don't care as much. Just let the guy box and a make a name for himself. Whether he becomes a big thing or not will depend on how he moves up.
Everyone saying Ben has found his level are out their damn mind 😂😂😂 I'm only on round 5 and he's absolutely played with him every second of every round! Willings will do really well if he finds a good coach but you weird litle haters just want to see a confident young man fail. It's embarrassing 😂🫵🏻
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 .
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) 😂
Impressed with Willings, very young fighter lots of time to improve. These 2 could meet again at commonwealth level down the line which I think is where Wittaker will probably reach his ceiling.
Leon willings is going places, came in at 9 days notice against one of the UKs top prospects and gave him problems. Terry Spencer and the team should be proud of him
"ooh shall I get him" nah you threw everything at him and he took it and kept coming and actually made a good fight of it. Willings massive props to that lad he's actually a real decent fighter and with the right backing could actually make a go at bigger things man. Considering he was supposed to be another knock over fighter he was making Whittaker look daft at times you can see he's got some real slick skills and can take a shot. Maybe his punch power is a little suspect but lot's of fighters make careers at British level without massive power.
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
Leon has shown a hell of a heart and some very clean, strong shots. Taking the fight with no time, no amateur record at the age of 23.. I'd really like to see this guy's career progressing.
Both of these fighters are brilliant. For Whitaker, Williams was not a toy. Very good job from both! This was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time. It was also very exciting!
I don't care how much some people hate him, but to me Ben Whittaker is the guy and his style and entertainment is why the audience like me love him. He is just brilliant, he's got everything to show off and there's no way I can hate him.
The commentator is such a hater, what do you mean we did not come here to see this? That was a good fight he will spark you sometimes you need to fight differently to get the win if you knew that then you would be winning your fight
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...
Not really… styles make fights. You could say the same about Bivol and his KO percentage. You don’t have to KO everyone to be world class. Give Ben time to grow in the sport
I got to hand it to Willings. He never fell for Whittaker's taunts. Never let Whittaker to showboat too much. Of all the the fights I've seen of Whittaker, he seemed the most serious, here.
Naruto entrance, Hajime no ippo and whitebeard tats plus an entertaining boxing style makes this man one of my favorite boxers of all time. Amazing skill and gotta love to see him toy with his opponents. This man has what the sport of boxing has been missing for a long time. I hope he gets really far. Regardless of his success, he’s got a big fan over here ❤
Idc what nobody says, this guy Whittaker is exceptionally entertaining. I enjoy watching any of his fights. I wanna see more, I hope he goes high up in boxing and go far.💪🏾
Agree, but I think willings is pretty good, a little sloppy but for someone with his experience, he was quite good. This style won't bring whittaker to the top but je does have solid fundamentals which ue can revert to but je needs to get working on them and sharpening them more ASAP or he'll get hurt even ar european level
100%. All style no substance. Wait until Whittaker fights a man who comes forward and can really crack. He'll get ragdolled around the ring by a strong pressure fighter.
Willings showed me 2 things today.. 1 you cannot fight in the Philly shell without movement... 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
Agree with many of the comments--he's very skilled with excellent fundamentals and patient. He's physic is impressive and extremely agile. I think under utilized the 5 and 6's to get through Willing's guard defense. He's my favorite dude to watch now.
Willings deserves all the props he had great head movement and when he relaxed and settled in was catching Whittaker well just struggled to match his bens work rate , made it a tougher night than I think Whittaker or anyone expected. Think willings is one to keep an eye on.
What a fight! Whittaker is always fun and that philly shell of Willings was tested and looked great. Honestly would love to see this run back with full camps on both sides.
@@Scouseantics I agree, but he’s just starting. And it takes a lot of practice to fight like that. In general as someone who has boxed.. not even on this level. It’s hard.
@@longlostcoder6322 yes and there is admitting when someones a hype job, for an olympic fighter and the amount of respect people are putting on his name i dont think hes earned it in the pro ranks..

Yall act like he didn't just start his career...he doesn't have the experience to even be brought up in the same category...let him get experience...he only had like 8 fights under his belt
When he showboats its mockery and evil,when ali or naseem do it its funny,20 years from now if he becomes a champ or something,people will be looking up to him the same way they did with ali or naseem
Oh damn an anime opening? Satoru Gojo's voice in the background and Naruto's and Konoha outfit, bro came through with the HOKAGE cloak and leaf village head band
@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.
@@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.
i think its fair to say as a neutral that Ben showboating hides his mediocrity ...he is more of an entertainer,,, see how many times he got clocked today ,,,if it was a hard puncher ,,,it wld have been lights out
I guess you never seen prince nassem fight 💀💀 its nice to see different fighting styles. When someone like you sees the cocky guy get knocked out you can smile about it.
If the showboating ended in a stylish knockout I would be impressed. But he ain’t got that in his arsenal yet. I think he showboats because he knows he’s lacking in ending fights.
Whittaker just an artist expressing himself. Whether he competes at the top or not lets just appreciate hes showing us something beautiful.

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
Muy bueno Wittaker, espero que siga subiendo de nivel
Sharp, fast and skilful, but maybe not the raw power needed when he starts really stepping up ? Similar to josh Kelly......
Agree with many of the comments--he's very skilled with excellent fundamentals and patient. He's physic is impressive and extremely agile. I think under utilized the 5 and 6's to get through Willing's guard defense. He's my favorite dude to watch now.
Willings deserves all the props he had great head movement and when he relaxed and settled in was catching Whittaker well just struggled to match his bens work rate , made it a tougher night than I think Whittaker or anyone expected. Think willings is one to keep an eye on.
Do not skip levels. My moms told my administor. What she didn't know was I was already doing calculus in the 8th grade.
It was pretty comical listening to his YES man cornerman in the later rounds... This dude wont go much further with his attitude.
What a fight! Whittaker is always fun and that philly shell of Willings was tested and looked great. Honestly would love to see this run back with full camps on both sides.
People think he isn’t training but he missed his grandmas funeral to train for the Olympics. He puts in work to box like he does.
Chillout bro we all saw the clip 😂
@@Scouseantics yeah but ppl act like he doesn’t take the sport seriously mate.
@@longlostcoder6322 lol no but hes definitely a hype job. No where near as good as people make him out to ben😂
@@Scouseantics I agree, but he’s just starting. And it takes a lot of practice to fight like that. In general as someone who has boxed.. not even on this level. It’s hard.
@@longlostcoder6322 yes and there is admitting when someones a hype job, for an olympic fighter and the amount of respect people are putting on his name i dont think hes earned it in the pro ranks..
很喜歡這影片，所以用影片做了英語教學，並附上您的原影片出處，謝謝
I enjoyed this video so much that I used it as a resource to create my own English learning video. I've also included the source link to your original video. Thank you.
Whittaker is only having fun while he can, when he starts to level up he won’t be trying to entertain and box he’ll just box.
That low punch walk away at the end of the first round was hilarious
So Dan Azeez won't ever be on commentary again. Ever 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hopefully not.
Respect to Leon standing his ground. Whitaker is brilliant, great defensive movement, his endurance and stamina also very impressive.
Bro anime is life. The best fight ever
Уитаккер просто поражает мастерством, теперь буду болеть за него, воин☝️
Salute to Willings, he showed great heart even though he lost decisively
入場パフォーマンスのNARUTO、白ひげ海賊団やはじめの一歩のタトゥー、チームTシャツの必勝など随所に日本愛を感じるボクサー
ついこの間知ったけどファンになってしまったよ🥰
日本ではなかなか見ない階級だけどいつか日本のリングに上がってくれるのを今から楽しみにしているよ！
The instagram fame will come eventually “cocky fighter gets humbled” compilation!!
whittaker will get humbled once he meet a top tier boxer...
Yall act like he didn't just start his career...he doesn't have the experience to even be brought up in the same category...let him get experience...he only had like 8 fights under his belt
Silver medal in Olympia.... This guy is a monster
When he showboats its mockery and evil,when ali or naseem do it its funny,20 years from now if he becomes a champ or something,people will be looking up to him the same way they did with ali or naseem
20 years, silver medal in olympia and 8 victorys.
Whittaker is a great fighter , fast and furious. Willings put up a good fight , well done Champ 🏆
Ben will get exposed by bigger punchers, he is too open
Spot on . He ain’t no Nassem hammed and he doesn’t have reaction skills like him either so he should cut the act before he makes himself look stupid
o cara tem um reflexo incrivel, um dos melhores da atualidade, maximo respeito por wilings, otimo lutador
Oh damn an anime opening? Satoru Gojo's voice in the background and Naruto's and Konoha outfit, bro came through with the HOKAGE cloak and leaf village head band
Also the Tattoo on his back is from one piece
@@recodegamesstudio hajime no ippo tattoo on his arm too
@@recodegamesstudioShirohige no Oyaji😢
Esse cara merece uma homenagem em algum jogo de lutar 👏👏👏
I remember everyone saying the same things about josh kelly look how that turned out
Yep. This is the comment…
Embpape’s English has gotten so much better. Didn’t know he did boxing 🥊 commentary 🤙🏼
He'll never be a world champion. Not in this era, he's all style no substance.
he could always fall back and become a TH-cam commenter like you
@@DeterminedFC XD
@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.
@@DeterminedFC😂
@@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.
He keep giving opponents "The Whitebeard Paw" and it has me dying everytime😂😂😂
i think its fair to say as a neutral that Ben showboating hides his mediocrity ...he is more of an entertainer,,, see how many times he got clocked today ,,,if it was a hard puncher ,,,it wld have been lights out
Calling an Olympic silver medalist mediocre from the comfort of your couch is CRAZY
@@damreeds2360boxing fans are allowed a opinion, even if we are not professional boxers !!
@@damreeds2360Olympians often don't make for great pros.
@@damreeds2360Audley Harrison told us all we need to know about Olympic medals
@@ryanletchford2450 he’s an exception to the rule. Look at Usyk, AJ, Muhammad Ali, lomachenko, Lennox Lewis, Andy Cruz Gomez I mean the list goes on.
I wish he wasn’t so disrespectful, I would like to like him but I find it difficult 😞
I guess you never seen prince nassem fight 💀💀 its nice to see different fighting styles. When someone like you sees the cocky guy get knocked out you can smile about it.
I hate disrespect. GGG and Pacman would never do that.
@@kimcousins1125 it’s show boating. It’s like drunken boxing. If you watch his interviews he trains hard for that.
Felt like Dan just wanted to disagree with everything said 😂 enjoyed it!
Don’t know how the judges gave Leon 2 rounds Ben won every Round easily
both fighters are perfect in different ways
If the showboating ended in a stylish knockout I would be impressed. But he ain’t got that in his arsenal yet. I think he showboats because he knows he’s lacking in ending fights.
I think in his mentality i dont think he cares about a knockout really
hes 8-0 with 6kos mate😂
He got 75% ko's W what are you talking about?
@@amadoumakhtarmbodj1633 yeah over a bunch of nobody’s. Needs to be in with some1 worthy. That’s how boxing works. They called gimmie fights.
Hell no 6 out of 8 of his wins were knockouts,he showboats to entertain and to tire his opponents out and beat them up in a stylish fashion
