76-76

Good round from Ford. Ball seems to have tired.

Let’s give credit to the Saudis. These 5 fights would all have headlined cards in the UK with poor undercards. Even Hutchinson vs Richards would have headlined a small-hall York Hall show.

And to think Beterbiev vs Bivol would have headlined all those 5 fights.

Don’t agree with a lot of things happening in Saudi Arabia but Turki has changed the game and humbled all the promoters.

 

Better round for ford faded towards the end of that round though. Actually went full windmill there.

 

5-3 ball

 

In the end Ford did enough but the big punches that hooked the commentators weren't enough. He did more good work after.

 

6-3 Ball.

 

Big round 9 from Ball

I have him 6-3 up.

 

Ford needs a knockdown now. Ball really is a cracking fighter and fun to watch

86-85 Ford

Best round Ball has had for a while but then Ford ended the round landing some big shots to nick it.

 

Great round for ball there. Ford holding allot and his corner crying when ball does something about it.

 

6-3 Ball

Biased as **** Barry Jones here, suckling the match room teet.

 

Barry held out for a while but eventually all Matchroom commentators starting peddling the narrative.

TNT commentators calling it well.

 

Bookmakers have Ball 2/7 to win.

96-94 Ford

Seems like my scorecard is terrible. I think Ford has hurt Ball in the past few rounds so I’ve given him the rounds.

Ford fought this round more off the backfoot. I reckon Ford outboxed Ball there. He landed a good straight left to the body too.

 

Ball 7-3.

Ford is hitting the gloves constantly.

 

Ball is winning but they’ll give it to ford I think
