Ben Whittaker vs Khalid Graidia Official Fight Highlights | Showboating Masterclass 🕺 

Exactly, he's def what the sport needs. shit like this is fun to watch

The problem is, if or when an exciting guy like this loses to another good fighter, then promoters and even boxing fans will claim the guy is a bum. Look at how they treated Erroll Spence all of a sudden. Can’t blame guys for protecting their 0 losses

🎯🎯🎯🎯

Nah. Just make the best fight the best. Tank and Canelo may seem fun to watch but their antics and hilarious match making makes them unbearable to watch. Top fighters fighting each other is more exciting than matches where you pretty much know the outcome.

UFC has too many eye pokes and when people like Masvidal appear to cover themselves in grease? Bisping moaning about TRT Belfort when somehow? He used to fight at 205? People putting their hands on the floor so you can't kick/knee them and a rule set designed to make college wrestlers do well Nothing like a real fight. 190 or so rules. Which is fine. But why sell it UFC as a fight when you can't even push. Also suspect title wins and changes. And past history of MMA is riddled with fixed fights and unfair matchups. I like proper boxing and Whittaker turning his back and hitting with the non knuckle part of the glove. That isn't boxing Also he got found out on a DAZN show against a decent journeyman. So really it's a show rather than sustance

He's using advance observation haki! Hahaha

im dying lmaoooooooooooooooo@@danzerako

Broooooo lol 😂

Once he get a belt, he gonna use conquerors haki 😂

Bro showing off his Observation Haki LMAO

back of the head is illegal

The 3 Stooges

Dudes gonna get rocked one of these days

Back of the head was funny and intentionally not hard it was a goof but the ref still had to say sum

Plenty of showboating fighters in the past who never made it to the top, this is a fight against lower rank boxer. You can't really be impressed till he's fighting the top ten, if he ever makes it that is. Faster hands or a hard hitter could end him. The top ten is a different ball park for every weight class. He's currently rank 176 btw

Muhammad Ali?

damn chill @@Kurry34

He will get destroyed when he actually fights someone decent

bro this guy just had 7 pro matchs, the skill gap between on that level are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugeee, that's why he can do this because he felt the huge skill differences from the beginning

But there is one against turning your back and hitting with the inside of your gloves.

the one that made sense that the ref stepped in was after the spin, since youre not allowed to turn your back to your opponent, but i agree that the rest wasnt necessary

He's just an old fart who never had a day of fun in his life. And nobody else is going to have a bit of fun on his watch if he can help it.

Agreed. Couple of minor infringements, but that Ref was like annoying add breaks during a good film!

​@@fridge-finsDead right mate, it's the same as ducking your head, ur not meant to duck the head "looking' at the floor, the face must be facing forward when you bob a punch, but they let it go in pro boxing... Whittaker was in no danger when he spun around, but the Ref wanted to get his head on TV... He boxed well here, less showboating.. Threw some nice crisp shots, especially the left rips to the liver, regardless of his opponent, there's a lot to like.

Ref really did his best to ruin the fight... I watched it live... if that was tyson fury, the ref would have been applauding... pathetic

He should be investigated maybe he got paid ​@@MrBlaqgold

Come on the ref just don't want anybody get hurt..give him a break..good job ref!

@@nashchi Kitchen!

i dont agree with you all because if you guys were being humiliated this way you would want the ref to stop his shenanigans. Yeah he was entertaining but i agree with the ref.

He'll be destroyed by his first real opponent. High guard walking pressure is never going to work here.

​@@whatilearnttoday5295it be bums like u who discredit a boxers greatness u don't do boxing or know it

Great? He's fighting nobodies 😂😂😂 wait until he fights a real boxer.

I can't get Ben's reach advantage

​@@ivand0007let his frank go😂

bro i thought the same thing like damn I got immersed

shit i guess we really in 2024😂

@@iluvSin Lol that made me laugh.

i haven't listened to anything like that since ufc in the covid period

too early

@@allenhzghzdgzd600ya no point he’s only 6 fights in. Let’s him m get used to his pro style a bit longer.

The refs in the UK suk.. they know nothing about style, charisma, uniqueness, showmanship, and entertainment.. Lame af!! This is how Agustus fought and never was warned, or pointed for his uniqueness.. Yeah... get this ref outta here... lame ass..

And this is why we end up with fighters like Adrien broner

I agree. Shades of Emanuel and also the Prince. As he gets better this guy could be a problem.

That's prince naseem style drunken style boxing is emaul Augustus it's a tad bit different

imagine if he had the A S C E tat too

He uses kenbushoku haki

​@@baruklintheng6250 kenbusho haki??

@@kentekuzan he has naruto, sasuke, itachi and ippo tatted on his left arm

Ben D. Luffy 😂😂

fr, he playing with fire. But making it look good so far lol

I wondered if anyone else understood that. Won't be long.

Reminds me of prince naseem

That was beautiful to watch, hope him the best!

Ali played with fire too xD

same, googled him and it says he's an olympic silver medalist.

Chill. His opponent was 10-13 😂

My first time too!!!! Loving him!!!! Excellence!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

⁠@@realdyltheboxer5087you fight who you get lil bro. You nobody

@@Chuida17 we all somebody.

💯 agree... It's more than that... its his fighting style. Penalising the guy for fighting to a syncopated rhythm is pathetic... thats how they ruined Emmanuel Augustus career... hating a$$ no rhythm having dusty rusty refs ruin the sport!

@@MrBlaqgold i think its because they dont like unpredictablility. stuff like this would throw any and everyone off because it's super evasive and just different. people hate when you deviate from the standards because everbody is so comfortable with the same thing.

⁠​⁠@@stealthycore​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠It's entertainment. And I doubt most people would be thrown off by it. By the sounds of it the crowd was anything but thrown off with Whittaker's movements. And a lot of boxers showboat anyways. Ali is a prime example of this. And many more have as well. So why can't Whittaker?

Agree… and he doesn’t have low blows, no hits after the bell and when the opponent went to his knee he didn’t try for some sloppy finishing move just backed away and danced. Pure entertainment and skill

​@@stealthycorecan't be having clean shots and never being touched how's the judges supposed to throw one sided fights man that dude can touch any liver when and where he so pleases haha it's refreshing to see those rare fighting instincts the guy knows where he's at in all dimensions and he looks like he's not just an athlete that'll age poorly when his legs go he's fluid stylistically

the surgeon-english boxer from some small town in the midlands is 6-0 obviously beaten nobodies so far ,massive potential

​@@don__hector7845 He still has to have about 10 more fights before coming to The Americas. UK boxing is garbage.

@@angelgregio only 26 no rush!

@@don__hector7845 even worse. This is prime time. 26 should already be 15 and 0.

@@angelgregio only been pro 18months

Let´s watch together!!!

Yea you two can take turn sitting on each other. Lol

Hes just tryna make friends 😭​@@LincolnJamesHeathrowIII

Jjjj​@@joaquiniglesias2201

Your favorite?😂😂😂 Must be your first watch 😂😂😂

lol.. lets see him do this with a pressure fighter with a high guard.

He’s fighting anesongib

He can swat too

He has plenty of soft-spots, simply not against high guard pressure guys. They're feeding him easy opponents.

@@RottenProfitsPressure with high guard is exactly what they're feeding him. He just puts his glove in their face, holds it there and they're blind. Zero challenge.

Definitely 💯hit👊🏾and not get hit. Not hit nd don't hit nothing either

He needs to start fighting B level fighters now,let's see if he can entertain us still.

Nah maybe c class former champs with experience he's just a prospect with 6 fights.​@@tenidrxpz9826

What makes you say that? This guy is trash he doesn’t throw a punch with any balance. Hes fight tomatoe cans, if he fights anyone of note they will leave him on the canvas.

@@joegugliotta8988 yeah a olympic medalist is trash just because you don't know what drunken style is

​​@@joegugliotta8988He's doing it on purpose lol.

is not conqueror is observation haki😂

I mean with the drunken style it self there’s always room for the next generation to create there own form of it and be just as great as both these guys u mention. That’s what beautiful about the art of boxing or martial arts in general…

Nope, every one of those warnings was justified. I don’t think you know the rules of boxing

Shuffling your feet like Ali is against the rules? he was stopped for that alone.

@@Icyking510 Whittaker spins & turns his back to his opponent, which a ref will always warn you for. Backfist punches are illegal, also called for. Hits to the top of the head are, even a soft tap, are illegal

@BobbyLeeMom I'm not talking about when he turned his back I could understand that. This was just him shuffling and the ref hating

@@Icyking510 slow it down, that’s exactly where he threw the backfist; that’s how fast he is, you didn’t even see

Yeah the fit is so clean. He should do a green glow one for the entrance.

but he mus step up competition. He has barely 6 fights with tomato cans and he is 26 already.

yeah going on the floor if he trys this with anyone in the top 20

​@@Kondzio717 Better late than never

That’s due to Whitaker’s speed and agility.

yeah and the fact that he's a member of the whitebeard pirates explains his observation haki XD

If you were fighting someone who presented zero challenge and no threat, you'd have fun too.

Except Naseem wasn't a wanker.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 then his tampon might fall out

Some of it was too much. At one point, he looked like he was about to throw a knee but of course he was just dancing or something. I saw it and the ref flagged it momentarily. He spun himself around to where his back was facing the other fighter, a big no no in boxing. You can't be allowed to do it just because you're playing around. And eventually, he's going to pay the price of doing that stuff. Too much of it is not funny. I'm good when a boxer just does it once or twice in a fight but this guy is filling up his whole fight with foolishness.

@@KuttyJoeloosen up your g string punk

@@anigerianninja4577 The fans are there for what???

​​@@KuttyJoe to be entertained and have fun.

If he perfect it omg he going to take over he is on my radar now i am a fan.... I have been waiting for somebody to train in this style🎉

Emmanuel Augustus fought anyone. On a moments notice. They're picking easy fights for this guy.

Will be interesting to see if they ever give him anyone who is in any way a challenge. They're picking people he can't possibly be threatened by.

Nope, the ref knows what he’s doing. You clearly don’t know the rules of boxing

The ref stopped him every time he did something illegal, what are you talking about?

@@ImaBobbyMuddahe actually did nothing illegal. A he did was show boat

@@elijahpiere5324 a ref will always warn you if you show your back to the opponent, which he did. He threw a backfist, an illegal shot. & he hot him on the top of the head, although light, still an illegal shot. Learn the rules of boxing before commenting

Holy Shit

Let's not go that far 😂😂... Good performance but don't get ahead of yaself

@@kenny52385 Definitely. When the competition gets serious, all that playing around will end by choice or by force. LOL

not yet, he is still far from top 10 in any bodies ranking. Hopes he rising fast though

Settle down there Crypto, there's 2 undisputed title holders and a lot of talent coming through the ranks. Whitaker's crisp and flashy...let's get thru a few pressure fighters in the top 10, or win a strap first, but theres a lot to like about him. I'm sure we all remember the Prince vs Barrera?

Yuu huuuuu... maybe he is marco the phoenix in real life if we look his tatto and hair cut
