    All politicians are tories although some pretend to be on the side of the working class.

    How many live in local estates these days or send their kids to state schools?

    Vermin the lot of them.

    I think Ball would win this. He is the fresher and more active off the two. I think that would be importamt, in a
    fight that would likely be grueling.

    Woods moving to 130 but if he was still at 126 I'd go Ball.
    Too young and fresh. although he isn't the greatest with his defence whilst throwing and leigh could find the gaps I'm confident ball would win at this point in their career

    If I wasn’t 40 I would have a poster of Nick Ball on my bedroom wall! What a great entertaining fighter.

    If this was Wood from a few years ago, this would be interesting, but he’s there for the taking now imo, Ball would stop him now.

    Difficult to judge when Ball has never been in with a puncher

    I would have loved to see Ball v Kevin Mitchell, I know they are different weights but that would have been a brawl.

    If Wood can still make 126, IF, then this could be a British classic.

    Ball isn't a puncher, whereas Wood most certainly is, and also he throws his most dangerous shots at the mid range, like the hooks he caught Warrington with, and Ball has to force his way inside.........

    I reckon Wood is looking for a retirement payday though, so I'm not sure if this would get made.


    It'd definitely be a cracker though

    A shot Warrington was giving Wood more than he could handle before he was caught and KO'ed. I think Ball's unrelenting pressure and aggression will be too much for Wood; Ball by decision or possible stoppage.

    I’ve gone for Wood K.O I can see him being well behind on the cards then pulling a Hail Mary punch out of the bad mid to late rounds. I’d love to see this fight.
