The only result I can see in this fight is ball by tko.

I'm going to put money on TJ stopping ball; ball is a very limited fighter.

He should win this fight pretty comfortably, but Doheny is a live dog for two simple reasons: Ball gets hit a lot and Doheny can crack.

I'm worried for Ball. I feel like he might be one of those fighters who ages in dog years and looks washed up overnight, as we saw happen to both of the Figueroa brothers.

I think Ball is very flawed but should have more than enough to outright stop Doheny midway through. Then again, Nick's gone life and death with a couple of fighters that he shouldn't have.

Think he struggled a lot with Rios because he is overconfident that the jump of weight classes works on his favor, he thought he could steamroll Ronny and instead got countered often despite winning the rounds, just because he kept insisting on going for the knockout out.

Not sure what to think with TJ Doheny, whose record implies he is a puncher but mostly lost while stepping up in competition against fighters that don't hit that hard (Daniel Roman, Michael Conlan and Sam Goodman) while Nick Ball has performed pretty well against Rey Vargas, Isaac Dogboe and Raymond Ford because he had the right approach.

I understand for sure what you are saying about ball. No doubt he will have a short career. I just think ball will overwhelm him with his volume. TJ is tough but he is up there in age and has miles on him.

I think there is something wrong with Ball. His team was talking about a needed rest then down grade his competition. From world class to second class at home. This looks like an examination for defects.
