Nick Ball vs TJ Doheny - DAZN

Ball has already beaten far better opponents than Doheny. He didn’t show it in this fight Just sayin’

Impressed with Doheny at his age. Ball better get matched carefully going forward; he won't beat anyone better than Doheny. Ball has already beaten far better opponents than Doheny.

Herrera won't go much further than this. He gets tagged repeatedly with clean power shots. He's just lucky Macias can't punch. The guy can't punch, he probably didn't feel a thing.

Yoenli Hernandez. 6'2 mountain of a Middleweight. You can add up Iglesias and Gonzalez too.

It's a routine win for Inoue I don't think anyone, at any point would expect anything else. I think Inoue is targeting him as the smallest 126 belt holder because he plans to go back to 122 for one fight to face Nakatani before moving back to 126 full time.

People are bringing it up because Inoue is supposed to fight him in December if he beats Cardenas and Akhmadaliev. It's not something that is coming from nowhere, Inoue called his name out at a press conference in Japan and the commentators on today's fight mentioned it several times. It's a routine win for Inoue I don't think anyone, at any point would expect anything else.

The "Ball won't be at Inoue" comments are kind of asinine, nobody has ever thought Ball is on Inoues level. Ball is what he is, an entertaining pressure fighter. He lacked sharpness tonight but got it done with physicality. People are bringing it up because Inoue is supposed to fight him in December if he beats Cardenas and Akhmadaliev.

I doubt Frank puts Ball up against any of the other belt holders. Especially Espinoza. He's supposed to fight Inoue in December if Inoue beats both Cardenas and Akhmadaliev in May and September respectively.

Done , his eye

good stoppage. no point to let it continue.

Doheny quit?

I doubt Frank puts Ball up against any of the other belt holders. Especially Espinoza.

Doheny looks ready to go but he's keeping Ball honest. Can't hate that.

Ball better chill before he ends up getting DQ like Donovan. He's already kicked and thrown TJ down.

Ball better grab a bat if he thinks he's getting through Inoue.
