Sam Goodman is a nice fighter and should keep his head held high, but these guys with skills have to move and box this basic ass strong guy, you have to break his spirit! That's why I keep saying Raymond Ford is overarted losing to this basic MF'er, come on!

Close, competitive fight. In Australia Sam Goodman wins this fight (with some benefit of home scoring). In the UK we get those scorecards that everybody thinks are a joke..

Those scorecards would be the same but for Goodman if it was in Australia. Tha tells me that in a close competitive fight rounds can go either way. You can see a shutout or a draw depending on your style like. When i was watching i was scoring most rounds for Ball...simply because when he was getting inside he was damaging. Goodman was fast flashy...but didnt cause trouble. He looked good holding back Balls attack....but terrible when Ball actually got in. And as much as i hate to say it...look at their faces...not smashed up....but they show the power difference.

I dont understand the mini Tyson comparison. Arturo Gatti maybe but without the power. Tyson was all power, one and done.

Espinoza would rip Bell's head clean off his neck the way Bell's head tilts back when he is throwing. I don't see Bell beating Leo or Fulton. They have better volume than Bell's opponents to this point too. But Espinoza knocks him out easy.

Ball doesnt hit hard enough to fight like he does. More than a face fighter but honest to a fault. No trickeration jump in swinging.

Espinoza is one of those guys who doesnt use his reach. This guy, Ball operates at close range, like sand paper. Robiesy stayed in the ams too long, he did make Shakur cry tho.
