The light heavyweight heavyweight Ben Whittaker (8-0-1, 5 KOS) faces the veteran Liam Cameron (23-6-1, KOS) in a reserves in two months on April 20 at the World Arena in Birmingham, England .
It is unclear why the two of them take care of a reservations at all because Whittaker (27) showed that he wanted to get out of their previous fight when he packed Cameron and brought them out of the ring in the sixth round. Whittaker claimed that he injured his ankle and leg in autumn, but suspected the fans that he fake it and only wanted to go out of the fight.
Flop clock
The struggle showed that the Olympic Silver Whittaker from 2020 cannot handle pressure and hard shots. It was the same thing we saw from him in his loss against Cuba’s Arlen Lopez. With a hard attack by the Cuban Talent Schmolz Whittaker like butter. What we saw in the Cameron fight was identical to the Olympic Matchup with Lopez. Whittaker went to pieces when he had left Cameron, who ignored the garbage show boating moves of the lanky, stork-like fighter and hit him hard and body.
Outside the ring, Whittaker speaks a big game, but He was pure jelly against Arlen Lopez and Liam Cameron. He looked afraid in both fights. Between the rounds you could see that Whittaker was desperate for help and looked into his corner to save him in these fights. There could be nothing else to do his trainer than to bark instructions that Whitaker did not follow.
Is he worth it?
Whittaker’s promoter makes a mistake by deciding to take the remaining with Cameron because this type is completely wrong. He has the wrong style, he hits too much and he has a hardness with him that Whittaker cannot master. If Whittaker’s promoters consider this struggle to be determined whether it should keep it or design it as a useless luggage, the residual rescue makes sense. It is a good test to decide whether Whittaker is worth going on.
If I were a whitakers promoter, I would have unloaded him immediately after the Cameron fight. I would have seen everything I needed from this collision and his collapse against Arlen Lopez in the Olympic Games to know that he was a waste of time. It is not built to cope with pressure and pain.
