Liam Cameron (23-7-1, 10 COs) took the highway by not choosing to complain about the fast TKO loss in the second round against light heavyweight Ben Whittaker (9-0-1, 6 COs) in their Rematch in the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, England.
Gracious in defeat
Cameron, 34, showed his class by criticizing referee Howard Foster for stopping the fight in the second round prematurely after Whittaker rushed him. Nothing was significant by Ben, which led to the downtime, but Foster chose to blow it off.
Fans on social media roasted the referee and said it was a classic British downtime. Cameron was not bitter about the end. He mentioned after the fight that he would doearned a fortune ” Tonight in the re -broadcast with life -changing money.
Morrell comparison
2020 Olympic silver medalist Whittaker, 27, is too old to struggle at this level, and it becomes clear that he will not disappear in the pro ranks. He is the same age as the former world champion of two divisions David MorrellBut he is still kept on exercise wheels. Morrell did not fight in the Olympics, but developed more skills than Ben in the Cuban national team. He was brought together faster.
Whittaker’s promoter should find out what to do with him, because he seems to need protection similar to that of Hamzah Sheeraz. He misses that spark that would indicate that he was able to fight world -class opposition.
‘Is beaten by a better man. He was an Olympic silver medalist. I gave him a difficult time in Saudi. I thought I could do it again. He got a professional team and came back stronger. Well done to him, ‘Liam Cameron said Boxing King MediaTalk about his loss of Ben Whittaker tonight.
Cameron may think his praise for Whittaker after looking at the repetition to see that he never got a chance because of the early stop. The battle had to be allowed to continue instead of being discontinued by referee, Foster.
Winning fans
“He’s long and sharp,” Cameron said when asked if he expected Ben to come out quickly tonight. “Being the popular man doesn’t let me win fights, but I’ll take it with me forever. It’s box. In one, two, three fights, they (fans) can love him (whittaker) to a little. It will be one switch as they did to me. ‘
The only way the fans of Whittaker will start to start is if his fighting stops ending controversy, and if he beats at 175 top guys instead of choosing fighters of 168 pounds. If Ben wants to keep fans, he must fight next David Morrell or David Benavidez and prove that he can beat them. I wouldn’t give Whittaker a chance against one of the guys, but if he at least tries, you can respect it.
“It just happened that way. The fight happened like that, ‘Cameron said of his loss. “Look where I am. I don’t want to say that, but I earned an absolute fortune. It’s not for me. It is for my children. It’s all for me. I never thought I would earn what I deserved tonight.
“I put everything in it. I had strength and conditioning. We did everything perfectly. You could say that he wanted the crowd to love him, ‘Cameron says of Whittaker. “He has to figure it out and come back.”
