Considering Ezra was 12-0 with 10 knockouts ben made him look silly

I’ll never realise the obsession of these so called fans to see strictly knockouts. To me, a technically sound performance like this is equally entertaining, if not more. This guy’s got bags of talent and he showcases it every fight. I’ll just sit back and enjoy.

Bro is an entertainer. It’s part of his character to get into his opponents heads and it works. Yet all these people in the comments are crying.

Ace's tattoo with Law's nickname - I love it 😂

They have built him on Naz’s reputation but Naz had that knockout punch.

[powervibes]

He needs KO power, if every fight ends being 10/12 rounds of his showboating it will become boring quick... He's talented but needs to finish fights

[rezlaso]

That headbutt caught me off guard 😂😂😂😂

[acezero]

People keep yapping about Whittaker's punching power but Ezra can't even knock him out either and had to resort to cheap tricks despite his solid record (but still losing lol). At least Whittaker can put on a show while proving who dominates the fight.

[thetruth]

The headbutt and spinning elbow was the best highlights of this fight

[PipJim]

Needs to cool the clowning a bit and focus on closing the show if he’s ever gonna step up

[markusninja]

The Observation Haki is on point as always

[leemoffat]

That headbut was class 😂. Play silly games, get silly prizes

[OOWEEHUZDAT]

The more I watch this guy he cracks me up 🤣💯

[INFINITY]

Why you look he is showboating? I think it's all about rhythm
rhythm to step in/out, rhythm to dodge, rhythm to punch
Look at his whole body foot body shoulder guard head it so smooth and come from rhythm

[SamMerchant-vnor]

he doesn't have the power to worry any world level boxer

[servedchilled]

The pink gloves definitely suit his style

[SwipeGameplay]

It's not impressive from a boxers outlook. What's strange is whitaker doesn't seem to have explosive power for his weight. If he put more time into explosive attacks as much as he does showboating he would be really dangerous. But even here he is still getting tagged by a slow speed and not technical fighter which is concerning. Fighters now need to go after his body as tag it as its easier target to hit then work the head. Similar to the guy in his last fight when he was on the ropes being worked on. We all know ben wants to do that head swish to the side movement but his body is still there to be hit. High level IQ fighters like me can see it on a mobile screen so imagine in real person how fast a technical fighter can register simple mistakes like that on ben.

And what's more weird is why can't Ben finish an opponent who's clearly fatigued in front of you and go up a gear? There's just a lot of question marks which at high level he absolutely will get hurt or even slept. Being confident is great being over confident is dangerous.

What a hilarious fighter he is. Wow. 🎉

[MJMS]

This showboating is getting hard to watch now.
If he was knocking people down you would tolerate it hence why Nas was the Bossman.

[Peradabo]

When he steps up, he'll get chinned. 100%.
