    Anything from 6-6 to 8-4 Ball was right. Cards were too wide.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, they really should do a super 8 tournament at featherweight

    It's always bull**** cards like these in the saudi cards.

    Bummer that Goodman did not win, personally think he nicked it but i'm not complaining

    Dont think those scorecards were too wide. 117-111 is fine.

    It wasn't as close as the commentators were making out.

    Competitive fight, but I favoured Ball higher work rate, combinations and harder punches which saw him win many of the close rounds for me. I could give Goodman 3 maybe 4 rounds at best, which probably doesn't reflect how competitive it was.

    Goodman surprised me showed a good chin, good footwork and fast hands. The thing that impressed me the most was how he took away Ball's usual rough house tactics. He used underarm hooks to get under Ball to stand him up then driving his head into balls throat to walk him back to ropes whenever they clinched. That along with Goodman's footwork prevented Ball from having his normal forward momentum and kept the fight in the centre of the ring.

    Best advice to young fighters. Learn to knock people out and keep the thieves out of the equation.

    Nah, they are the new Germany.
    Think early 2000s, when guys like Sturm were getting BS draws left and right.
    If a B-side arguably won a fight, you could be sure that it was a MD in favor of the A-side.

    There was a Felix Sturm card where 3 guys got a draw... wtf?

    3-4 minimum, could see maybe swinging a close 5th his way. Six would be a stretch but not as egregious as 10-2 for Ball.

    I mean, he's not wrong. If fans don't want to watch you, you're not getting paid to fight. Ball is great fun to watch. If you like boxing, you're not going to regret spending the time you spend watching his fights.
