    Has anyone heard or seen anything of Nick Ball since he got beat?

    He seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth

    I imagine we won't see or hear much from him for a while. He strikes me as the personality type who will not handle a loss well at all, especially the way he lost and the unsavoury scenes that followed with his team and the crowd.

    He's being eaten up by that loss and no doubt sitting in a foul mood taking it out on everyone.

    It was a really bad loss. To be KO'd is one thing but KO'd by a guy who we know has limitations and got easily beaten by Fulton is really putting Ball down several levels than he and everyone else thought he was. He can still come back and get opportunities but the thought of him against Inoue at 126 is not appealing at all now. He was also losing the fight anyway so the KO was adding insult to injury. The conduct about dodgy gloves is not nice to hear also.

    Carl Frampton said he would be Inoue. He is paid 6 figures a year to work in boxing.

    Frampton has become a company guy these days.
    Used to talk a bit of sense but now he's as bad as the rest of them

    I am absolutely sick of so called ' experts ' on tv who know nothing about boxing, not the art of Boxing but the knowledge of it. They clearly do not watch it if they don't have to and they certainly don't research it. He probably hasn't seen Inoue fight twice. They're all the same. Massively over rating British boxers. There is so much knowledge on this forum. I like to think that I'm a hardcore. I know my boxing history, I've seen the fights but theres many on here who are all over the sport. They don't get paid. These arseh*les, Nelson, Frampton, BELLEW, do get paid and can't be bothered to even have a look at Boxrec. I've no respect for them. All that they do along with the king of the halfwits, Adam Smith, just ruin the fights. It would be better with just the crowd noise.

    It will take him a while to get over it, which is understandable. Sounds like the Carrington unification was next, and if he got through that, an Inoue payday to secure his entire family’s future.

    Now after a summer confidence booster/comeback, Warren will probably want him to fight Nathaniel Collins or the Davies v Miller winner

    I think Ball beats all three of them, but it sounds like he's stepping up to super feather according to Spencer Oliver on Talksport

    Not sure stepping up weight will do well for Ball being so short
