Ben Whittaker Quit.

[Spicoli]

Sounds like he had more success scoring TKO1 over some poor fella's cell phone at the airport . Ben just got way over his skies in the big picture. His showmanship outran his substance and on a massive stage with thousands of eyes on you, when you're pressed to the mental and physical limits, strange things happen. The clowning and imitation of Emanuel Agustus has to come after a young fighter has strengthened and honed the basics, he was doing it completely backwards and it caught up dramatically. And full credit to his opponent who didn't get caught up in the moment and simply looked thru it all. When (if) does Whittaker take the rematch, that's the real question.

SMT... he is a silver medalist at the Olympics. He is still yet developing as a professional, but it will come. He is a lot different from David Price or Frazer Clarke, I'll tell you that.

That silver hasn't done much help him slip right hands in the pros. But this can definitely be chalked up as a get a grip and serious up moment.
