Will Whitaker choke again? Cameron II was set for April 20th
Light heavyweight Ben Whitaker (8-0-1, 5 KOS) will be appearing on veteran Liam Cameron (23-6-1, 2 months after April 20th at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, England. I’ll play against KOS).
It is unclear why the two are plaguing the rematch as the 27-year-old Whittaker grabbed Cameron and caused the two to ring in the sixth round, indicating he wanted to get out of his previous fight. Whitaker claimed he injured his ankles and legs in the fall, but fans suspected he fake it and just wanted a fight.


Flop Watch
The fight showed that the 2020 Olympic Silver Whitaker could not handle pressure and hard shots. It was the same as what he saw as a defeated Cuban Arlen Lopez. Whittaker melted like butter when he was violently attacked by Cuban talent. What we saw at the Battle of Cameron was the same as the Olympic matchup with Lopez. Whitaker fell apart as he began walking to Cameron.
Outside the ring, Whitaker talks about a big game, He was pure jelly Against Aaren Lopez Liam Cameron. He looked scary in both fights. In between rounds, it turns out that Whittaker is desperate for help and is looking at his corner for instructions to save him in those fights. His trainer had nothing else to do but bark instructions Whitaker didn’t follow.
Is he worth it?
The Whittaker promoter makes a mistake by choosing to choose a rematch with Cameron because this guy is all wrong. He has the wrong style, he bumps too hard, he has toughness about him. Whether the Whittaker promoter sees this fight as a decider, keeps him, or throws it away as useless luggage, the rematch makes sense. It’s a good test to determine whether Whittaker is worth maintaining.
If I were Whitaker’s promoter, I would have abandoned him right after the Battle of Cameron. I’ve seen everything I need from that clash, and from his meltdown against Aaren Lopez at the Olympics, to know that he’s a waste of time. He is not made to deal with pressure and pain.
