    Bad showing of
    Ball, leaving
    Ball's team member getting aggressive
    And the english fans instantly leaving and booing the winner

    England is often a great home for boxing.
    It wasn't tonight!

    Figueroa is simply celebrating an amazing win for his career. Zero spite. Imagine Lopez or such fighters winning in comparison. Ridiculous.

    They took the moment away from figueroa and it was a shameful showing from everyone involved

    If I'm on Ball's team, I'd rather get him backstage sat down with something cold on his neck. Do an interview later.

    I mean Ball IS a damn good fighter. I don't know why everyone is dogpiling Ball now and jumping off the train. Some cringe fairweather ****. Credit to Fig he dug deep to get the KO in hostile territory. But lets not try to minimize Ball now.

    Thanks. I didn't score it RBR but no question Fug was outworking him the difficult part for me was the amount of his work which was hitting gloves but I think Fig was edging it even though it was very close

    ****ing losers, the lot of em. Liverpool/Manchester crowds ****ing classless fools. Aussie crowds are a bit that way. Booing national anthems etc. Always made me laugh, Americans saved us from the Japanese back in WW2 but let's disrespect them, their flag and their anthem. ****ing stupid dumb ****s.

    Yeah, once they crack, they don't come back. I expect Ball will be tasting canvas pretty regularly after this.

    I had Figueroa up by a rnd going into 12. Had ball survived rnd 12 by a miracle he would have surely lost with 2 knock down.

    Late into a fight though. It's more worrying when it happens early on. Verdict is still out.

    I had it 6-5 to Ball , No need for that guy to be jumping from the top rope before it was clear Nick was ok , Brandon was sincere in his apology for his corner and showed a heap of class in the ring interview , Best of luck to him .
