    Figueroa is back on top! And the New!

    Ball is by far the most dirtiest fighter in the UK since Josh "Headbutt" Warrington.

    Ford has already shown Nick Ball's limitations. I still can't believe the judges robbed Ray that night.

    Honestly, Nick is too small and too short for this weight class. This kind of brutal defeat usually destroys a boxer physically and mentally.

    Big unification fight between Fig and Espinoza will be absolutely amazing. Otherwise, he'll be a formidable opponent if Inoue choose to moves up at 126.

      Yea Fig is an interesting character, i had called it to be a win by the 7th round but it was more exciting this way. Fig only lost once to Fulton the fight in 21 was a win from what i remember. The guy needs a push when someone ****s on him he comes alive and takes over this time it was round 12 and his corner that brought he to victory................

        Absolutely my friend. Styles make fight, Ball was a perfect fit for him.

        2 judges scorecard had Ball winner. Clear 7-4 Figueroa for me. But hey, i'm not surprised at all... England is England. Worst ennemie territory in boxing for traveler. Fought Brits guy on the other corner is never enough, you also need to beat that drunks crowd, the corrupt ref, judges and entire BBBofC.

          Espinoza will 100% duck the unification, just like when Angelo Leo called him out for a unification by name and instead he tried to fight the guy Leo knocked cold for the belt (Lopez). But that fell through too.

            If the money is right, bro, who knows? Turki... Other wise with that belt, Fig has plenty of options. Shu Shu, Leo, Inoue.

              I'm skeptical Espinoza will be able to make weight much longer anyway.

                Figueroa was was hurting Ball early. He was timing Ball on the way in and mauling him on the inside. Ball ran out of space hooking with a hooker.

                  Feel sorry for Ball in an age of weigh in and rehydrate.!some of these MoFos look huge for featherweight, like they should be lightweights! He is landing his best shot and a guy like Figueroa just shrugs and comes on. That has to discourage a man

                    Ball was not looking great in the last few rounds. Actually, he seemed to be struggling from the 4 round on... He was running on fumes.
