  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.

  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.

  People think his boxing is different from showboating, but his whole boxing is based on this. Each punch, dance, and everything is a part of his identity. You cannot separate his style from that. It's a package deal.

  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?

  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.

  Bunch of men praying on another man’s downfall, sad. <br>I give Leon Willings his props, he’s a fighter who is better than people think, he’s got talent.<br>Whitaker will be fine.

  Fair play to Willings took it on short notice and gave a good account of himself
