Good for him staying active but why is his promoter talking about the Inoue fight when its quite obvious Ball would be third or fourth in the order even after he comes up to 126?

It is known to be a matter of time prior to Inoue entering 126 but given he's TR I'd say it will be Leo/winner of Espinoza-Robeisy rematch/then Ball or Figueroa (assuming Vargas finally gets stripped for inactiveness or lose to Figueroa) in that order.

That's not quite how it works when Frank is basically Turkis man and Ball is Franks, money talks after all.

It's funny how they talk about how ball is this or ball is that. But do people forget that his last 2 outings have been split draw and split decision win. I wouldn't be surprised if Ronny causes an upset.

I'd argue Ball was fighting pretty decent guys to get those decisions; I don't see Rios surviving past the sixth or seventh round with Ball's workrate.
