Comments Thread For: Paul Stevenson says to get ready for 'the long, terrible reign of Nick Ball'

[BoxingUpdates]

Since Nick Ball beat Raymond Ford to win the WBA featherweight title in Saudi Arabia in June, there has been an ongoing discussion on the northern boxing circuit as to whether his trainer, Paul Stevenson, is the first Liverpudlian to guide a fighter to a recognized, full world title. Unless there is an unusual partnership somewhere in the world, and if you know of one, please let us know, it appears that he is.

Unify next vs Espinoza

Good young exciting entertaining fighter, Deserved nod in last 2 fights and it’s great for tv. That being said, he should not be mentioned in same breath as Hagler. This kid will not have a long reign. He’s strong but does not really possess KO pop. Highly unlikely his career much less his reign, will be a long one.

His limitations are as obvious as his strengths. But I don't see him beating Espinoza or a couple others at the top. He'll be exciting to watch in the meantime, kind of like MBilli.

lol @ comparing the 2 bums he beat to Canelo and Golovkin

Sot Chitalada won the world flyweight title and his trainer was a Scouser living in Thailand so I claim my reward

Nick Ball is a terrible boxer and a dirty fighter. He should have been dq'd in his first title challenge and he did not beat Ford. Ford should be getting a rematch. Ball is bad for boxing.

When Eddie told the American boxers ro "earn with Hearn" he didn't say anything about them actually winning! Wink wink

Charlie Atkinson was actually Welsh, born in St Asaph's but grew up & spent his life in Liverpool & trained 3 Thai fighters to World titles. I could only remember Sot Chitalada. So, sorry Paul but no.
