    Sam piking his shots well this round, rolling with most of the return fire. Ball still throwing a lot, but missing. Sam rolling quite well, Sam on the front foot, Ball countering with flurries.

    Even when he's getting sloppy, Ball is smartly being sure to fire last in all their exchanges - always saving enough to load up once more after Goodman's final attack. That's going to make an impression on the judges for sure.

    Ball 8-3

    Ball has separated himself from Goodman in the 2nd half of the fight.

    Goodman starting to coast a bit but he needs a KO to win.

    Goodman's inactivity is very frustrating. He let Ball take that round.

    It's a 50/50 fight. Unless Goodman gets a KD, Ball wins.

    Technically both are undefeated and world ranked so you'd think a close match on paper - but this was very widely perceived as being a mismatch in favor of Ball.

    Goodman was supposed to fight Inoue last year and most people feel like his life got quite literally saved by the negotiations falling apart. Ball is being hyped up by some as having a chance to deal Inoue his first loss next year.
