    Ball should be thanking his lucky stars, because Inoue would have legit murdered him.

    That feels about right. I thought that it was still to play for going into the final round, though I found it tough to score, volume with Figueroa versus the cleaner shots from Ball in almost every round. Probably comes down to what you like. I was gutted for Ball to succumb so close to at least seeing the cards, but at least we got a result in the ring instead of controversy over the scores. Respect to Figueroa for winning away from home. He definitely stepped it up after Robles rightly told him to up his game. Great fight, worthy of a world title.

    Doesn't matter , hang around at least when the decision is announced, congrats the opponent and then leave .. boxing is a respect sport .. Ball seemed okay he didn't get KOed and needing oxygen or anything ...

    It's a disgrace, British are great boxing fans but their hooligan crowds can go **** off.

    He is but he's too small to go up and too big (weight) to go down and his lack of size makes things so difficult for him and he's always in tough fights

    Can't read that with a straight face. It's a joke that OF is as big as it is.

    What happened with the crowd? I missed the finish, was shocked it was all over out of the blue when that outcome didn't even look possible, and then I was waiting for the replay for ages? Some of Ball's fans kick off or was it members of Ball's team?

    Nothing to do with the demograph of Liverpool being sore losers. If theres anything people from Liverpool can accept its losing fair and square.

    If Balls team dont confront Figueroas team then the crowd dont get involved.

    Josh Taylor looking good in his retirement I have to say; I feared he would go hard on the booze without boxing to guide him but he is looking very healthy.

    To be fair to Ball, perfect left hooks like that you don't see coming during and exchange are always such dangerous shots but nothing prior to then suggested that either of them were getting knocked out
