watching Davison's most recent IFL TV interview he gives reasons why even though he’s only 25 he’s a great trainer with lots of experience including “ ask any boxer I’ve worked with they’ll tell you ask Billy Joe he’s said I was great in an interview “ If Ben Davison is so great why did BJS leave him and join Ingle after only one fight ?
Give Davidson a break. Everyone starts somewhere . Better than living off yer dad's good name and being gifted a living
Also he didn't look that good the time he cornered bjs. He looked out of his depth. I watched a intv with big John fury last night. Reading between the lines I think he feels there's still unanswered questions regarding Ben. I think Ben has been really good in some areas but he just hasn't got the experience or skills in other departments. I really hope Tyson does it on Sat but there's so many unanswered questions atm
I feel like he is an opportunist, it is slightly worrying how much he is enjoying the public's attention.
Well let’s judge him after the fight cos if Fury wins then he deserves some credit. Would he be the youngest British trainer to have a HW world champ? I have noticed his shyness seems to have gone as the months have passed let’s hope it doesn’t turn to cockiness or are we too late.
I puked when he claimed Tyson has saved thousands of life. I can picture it now. An orphaned homeless man heading into the woods with a rope, ready to end it all. He lost his parents when he was young, couldn't hold down a job to keep a roof over his head, and is now starving on the cold streets at night. There doesn't seem much point in living anymore.... BUT WAIT, he remembers that multi millionaire Tyson Fury was feeling sad after becoming heavyweight world champion of the world. So sad that he would go drinking and eating all night long before returning to his lovely big house and healthy family. Fury was able to lose weight and then go and fight for millions more. The orphaned homeless man throws away the rope and returns to his sleeping bag in the city centre, now feeling there is hope in life. Bollocks.
This is a bit of a cynical view but I don’t think Davison will add much, nor be required to add much, on Saturday night. Wilder is a one punch highly unorthodox KO artist. There’s not much a trainer can do in terms of reading Wilder’s game plan. Will Davison really need to have a look at adjustments Tyson needs to make during the fight to cope with Wilder? Almost unanimously the boxing public has the following view of the fight: Tyson will win on points unless he gets tagged and sparked out. It’s on Fury to make sure he maintains full concentration throughout the fight and to stay out of range. Davison has done his part as far as I’m concerned and that’s getting Tyson fit.
I agree I think Tyson thinks he doesn’t need a trainer and is just using him to give him some publicity. They are obviously good friends so good on him. But if he does win he’s trainer of the year ain’t he lol
I think this is it. There is absolutely nothing in B.D resume to suggest he has the talent to train the former heavyweight lineal champ going fwd into a world title clash against a fighter like wilder. The only time we've seen Ben before is when he did bjs and look what happened there. I do believe he has a place in the team as he does bring some qualitys to the tabke but not head trainer
From what I gauge Ben Davidson is a very good people's person. Meantime he seems to click with Fury so good on him. A trainer is judged over a long period of time though, so we will judge Ben Davidson in 5-10 years from now.
i can remember nearly everyone was commenting on how poor he was with the advice between rounds. That was a couple of years ago now, so i'm sure he's picked up a lot more knowledge. Fury may be eccentric, but i don't think he'd hire a trainer he doesn't believe in
