    I reckon it’ll he closer than most folks are anticipating but I think Ball will come from behind to win on the cards.

    This is where we really find out how good Nick Ball is. Figueroa’s lost twice to Fulton, who’s a pure boxer, but Ball is the opposite stylistically – small, aggressive brawler who forces a fight. It depends which Brandon turns up: does he come to go to war, or does he try to outslick Ball and make it ugly?

    Fight of the year candidate if Figueroa turns up for a shoot-out.

    Im rocking w fig. Robles jr said they had a good camp and he's motivated. Looks good at weigh in. I've never been impressed with ball.

    You can get odds of 5/1 on a Figueroa decision which seems excellent value to me, but I would be worried about the fairness of the judging given the fight is in Ball's backyard.

    Ball to win on points in a fight that's well worthy of a genuine world title fight.

    @CST80 I should be on the roll call.

    ;)

    You know how it works.

    Crowd roaring at anything landed not even clean and home town promoter influence.

    It's all over the world it's like starting 2 rounds down on the scorecards!
