I think hes going to struggle at world level, the step up in opposition shows the power isn't all that and they will gamble walking him down if the oponent has power

Too many people sucking up to his ego, he gets hit more than people let on and he's still fighting at a very low level. We need more honesty from our commentary teams

This kid is a proper freak showboats but cant get ko soon as he steps up hes going to peepies

Couldn't even get a Nigerian international uni student with a padded record against 10 African villagers out of there 😂. Literally a step back from his last fight at AREA LEVEL. When people who only watch 5 second tiktok clips tune into full fights they're gonna be disappointed. Especially the yanks who love his viral clips....they hate this style & literally clown fighters who box like him e.g. Shakur Stevenson. TikTok hype job. Expect so much more for a 27yo Olympian who has boxed all over the world full time since his teens & has been a pro 3 years...even his Olympics teammates have progressed further despite Ben being the most hyped. Embarrasing obsession

Its 2029 Im watching a yt video called "when hype jobs get destroyed" Its about Ben Whitaker

He likes the bag

As soon as he steps up he lies down

Wtf is he delusional???

The new Josh Kelly

Absolute hype job

Ben Whittaker has great reaction and timing, but he has below average punch power. If he eventually fights any of the top Light Heavyweights in the UK, it's going to be a much much harder test to come through without the power to really hurt someone and make them wary of advancing. The one thing he has in his favour is his natural defensive ability, speed, footwork , punch timing and accuracy. He definitely needs to work on his power and sitting down on his shots at times....but that will also leave him open to being countered. He might have to prepare himself to go 12 rounds in the vast majority, if not all, of his fights to be able to win against the top 10 in the 175lbs division

Walked opponent to the corner good heart 😊

What belt is this ???

No power

He's NOT LH Champion ffs! Secondly, he will end up like Prince Naseem. He'll get up to world level then as soon as he meets someone who has power, solid fundamentals and a good defence he's bang in trouble. I think he's. decent kid and I'm not hating, just saying what I think will happen. He doesn't have the power to deal with the elite. Although it was blindingly obvious he could have wiped that guy out any time he wanted last night. But he wanted the rounds. The last 30 seconds of the fight tells the story there.

Should slow down with him. have gone the traditional route British title European and then world level. That fella last night was not on any of them levels

Sky Sports latest hype job, along with Adam Azim, who they're constantly trying to convince the viewing public they're both gonna be the next superstar. Laughable.

He's overrated!

Sorry Ben you didn't. You're slowly being found out. Yes you're fluent, slick and easy on the eye but as soon as you meet anyone at even European level you'll be sorely exposed. Willy Hutchison would be a great fight but one that you'd lose.

He’s not the IBF champion

Na i had Ezra winning that or a draw was fair at worst..!! Sky sports reporters licking his boots like he did something

And the crowd went wild -not .

Terrible performance, when he's not showboating he's got nothing to him.

Boring ASF...........hyped

he is all show boat and no bottle. Probably chilly too. This fight was a bore. No thunder in his punches whatsoever
