NeverYield Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Yes, should be a cracker. Be interesting to see how Ball goes about working his way inside Figueroa's reach, and negates his high pressure style. I reckon Ball will get it done though, although it will be a hard fight. If you're Figueroa you'd want to be aiming at whipping bodyshots in to slow ball down as hes shown a bit of vulnerability there previously, great fight though potentially and one that I would say is more likely to catch fire than not.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted February 7 Awards Moderator Posted February 7 My mate’s son is making his pro-debut on the Ball undercard tonight - Sam Norris. He should walk this one but he’s a beast - can see him in the title picture within a few years. One to keep an eye on. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) Hes fighting now Sam is. Great Am career. Edited February 7 by NeverYield Quote
NeverYield Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Fig really boxed well, I knew it would be a hard fight for Ball, but it was one I thought he'd win but I feel he let the fight get away from him a bit, and at times Fig made the fight harder for himself than it needed to be by not keeping it long! Brilliant left he got Ball with and the salty reactions from Ball's team and then Ball himself wasn't it for me... Take your loss correctly and come back stronger. Props to Andrew Cain as well. Quote

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 9 Author Paid Members Posted February 9 Yeah I know emotions are high but didn't like the way Ball's team responded, almost turned messy with the crowd reacting to it. Good fight though, very hard to score. I wasn't actively scoring but I think I had Figueroa up simply based on workrate. That said, that 12th round stoppage came from nowhere. Looking at the scorecards though, Ball would have needed a stoppage to win. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 15 Author Paid Members Posted February 15 3rd Zuffa Boxing show is free on youtube this evening, Heavyweight main event. The first show was streamed then taken down but its definitely on in the UK this time. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 16 Author Paid Members Posted February 16 Yep, all in on Zuffa Boxing. Last nights main card was really good. The Apex sounded really loud, and they have the ring mic'd up really week so you hear every punch land. 3 fights, 3 finishes. Good stuff. ...and maybe the KO of the year. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Yeah that uppercut was immense. Good card tbf. Just got the Fury-Makhmudov presser on now, Rick Reeno dressed like a mobster again 🤣 Quote
jimufctna24 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) Just a reminder that John Fury has had a grand total of one physical altercation since leaving prison over a decade ago; where he headbutted a young lad only a fraction of his side, yet somehow came worse off.

NeverYield Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Another absolutely absurd and comical tirade from Big John 🤣 Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 17 Paid Members Posted February 17 Fury says he is training himself for the Makmuhdov fight and that he just needs someone to wash his gumshield and smear vaseline above his eyes. I can see that going well. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Yeah me and my friend were talking yesterday about who we'd have train Fury if not Sugar Hill, we chucked a few names back and forth but that route he wants to go down isn't a great idea but there you go🤣 Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 18 Author Paid Members Posted February 18 Im fancying Makmuhdov for the upset in this. Fury aint blowing away the big man. Quote
NeverYield Posted February 18 Posted February 18 The presser chat out of Fury suggested he was more interested in pushing his new Netflix series Also talk of not needing a trainer, just someone to wash his gear. You can't always take notice of Fury but all signs at the minute point to him not taking this seriously. We saw what happened last time he thought he would just walk a fight... Quote
