People laughed when Fury signed up a relatively unknown 26 year old head trainer but clearly from both corners instructions during the fight you could see who was the more constructive coach inb between rounds..well done ben great job

It looked to me like Fury got caught in the last round because he thought he was home and dry and lost concentration for a moment. He started rolling as soon as he saw Wilder winding up, instead of waiting till the punch was on its way and timing his roll properly, so Wilder was able to tee off on him.
I've given Wilder a lot of shit in my comments, but I have to show a little respect for the way he didn't lose heart and was still alert and focused enough to spot Fury's mistake and capitalise on it so late in the fight.

The BT video was good, it showed Davison giving really clear, calm advice to Fury between rounds. Certainly way above the level that other more experienced trainers have offered their fighters recently (see Sanchez).
Davison also seemed to work well with Tyson, reassuring him when needed, it’ll be interesting to see if he can apply this to other fighters.

Now that's not to say Ben did anything wrong, but i'm not going to get carried away until i see him confirm this sort of form.
The depth of his tactical knowledge is unknown (Fury and Saunders are similar style fighter, and Davidson's success with that out-fighter style should translate), but the rest of the bonafides seem good enough to lump Davidson in with the rest of the young trainers coming along.

Originally posted by earl-hickey View PostHonestly even if Wilder is "ready" for the head ducking tactics, what can he do, at the end of the day he was just too slow and innacurate to land 99% of the time anyway. I don't see that improving.
I agree though Fury should rustle up something different this time, I noticed he was clearly superior inside, i'd start there.
Wilder only needs to land all the way clean a few times, and the fight could be over.

Ben Davison and Tyson Fury merit a world wide documentary. HBO can get notes of this
After I had witnessed the work of Ben Davison of Tyson Fury, If I was a fighter, I put all my trust in him also. He going to help Tyson Fury get better in the rematch, that, I guaranteed you.

At this point he's approaching "veteran" status
He doesn't seem to be a quick learner and I find it difficult to see him changing his punches technique at this stage.

Wilder's never going to be a polished pure boxer, but he's mastering what he needs to know, to give his tools the best chance at success. Sleep on Breland if you want.
