Ben Whittaker has been ‘humbled’ by dramatic draw with Liam Cameron, says Sky Sports expert Johnny Nelson | Boxing News

Johnny Nelson says that Ben Whitaker was “modest” by Liam Cameron, but he can re -discover his “amazing talent” under the leadership of the new coach Andy Lee in the return match.

Whitker was removed in a wheelchair after he and Cameroon came out largely from the ring in the first seizure in October, which ended in a divided decision, and their competition will be settled in a second battle on Sunday, on Sky Sports.

In thinking about the performance of Whitaker in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sky Sports expert Nelson believes that the Olympic Silver Chamber “neglected what he is doing well” but supports the new coach to achieve the best of 27 -year -old.

Nelson told Sky Sports: “I am quite sure that Indi said to him,” You have amazing talent, be sure to make the most of it. “

“So I think he has a serious approach to what we saw.

“The mental approach when you enter the ring – which makes or breaks a fighter, and I think he knows he is talented, and sometimes you can escape with yourself. This is what he did.

“The performance that I saw in the Saudi from Ben was besieged as if it were …” it is a deal that was accomplished, and I will steal the show “and neglected what he is doing well.

“He neglected this, and in doing this, he was almost paying the price. For this reason, he was modest, and for this reason he should remain mentally on the point so that this does not happen again, because if he arrived on Sunday night and begins to get some amazing victories, what prevents him from developing memory loss and doing this again at a higher level?

“If this will happen, it is better to happen now more than the late registry when there is a lot at stake.”

Macklin: Whittaker can handle the pressure of return

Sky Sports, Matthew McLean, believes that Whitaker will deal with great expectations on his shoulders before a high -risk match.

“I think there was an element of it that reduces it [Cameron]. McLean said: “I think he might have trained or made a little mistake,” McLean said.

“He felt tired very quickly, and it was collapsing – which is really worrying.

“I don’t think this will happen in this battle. I think it will have a correct amount of fear, and the correct amount of nerves. The pressure will lead to it.

“In many ways, his career is similar in terms of what he expected to continue and achieve, to be a star.

“This is on the line here.”
