[skanksta]

Vargas looking sharp and just waaaay too long.

2-0 V

[SeanBrennan]

Vargas going down a bit

[jameswilson]

If he had dwarfism his arms and legs and head would be out of kilter compared to the rest of his body.

[Spud]

Vargas keeps popping the jab …. Getting more confident

30-27

Ball has to get inside the jab

[NoScoutingReports]

Left hook to the body working well for Vargas right now.

[SeanBrennan]

Adam Smith doing the commentary on BBC radio 5Live.

Thanks for the warning

[jameswilson]

Would be interesting to see if Kiko Martinez fought Nick Ball would he be able to be fleet footed. Get on his toes and dance around the ring like a prime Ali.

[skanksta]

Varg 4-0 on every card - "The Wrecking" Ball can't do nothing with him.

Just too long (and good).

[Spud]

Ball getting frustrated

40-36

Ball is looking for 1 shot only ..

Convincing round

[jameswilson]

fornicate me those lefts to the body from Vargas are winding me thats for sure.

[MightyWarrior]

I still think Ball is going to catch him

[MightyWarrior]

Ooof those body shots

[skanksta]

Ball needs a KO already.

Varg breaking him from the outside and holding and escaping when Ball does get close...

[samwbr]

I still think Ball is going to catch him

Same

[Spud]

It all comes off the jab … the most important shot in boxing

50-45

Vargas body shots are good

[coneye]

Quite enjoying this fight . Can.t help but think Fury could do with having a look at Vargas ,s trainer to teach him when your in that punch zone . You either move or punch . Stepping into it doing nothing you get clobbered ala last fight

[handsofstone]

Was effing years ago Vargas beat McDonnell to win this title

[SeanBrennan]

I still think Ball is going to catch him

I really hope he does.

5 and 0 for me at the mo. He is soooooo long.

Adam Smith doing the commentary on BBC radio 5Live.

Lovely to see Adam back in work after his health issues. But I am going to miss the Street Fighter 2 comparisons and the clockface analogy!!! Especially when "Edmund Honda" (Parker) is on the card. I wonder who McIntosh would have compared Ngannou with?

[MightyWarrior]

I was happy that day… Barry is a funny bloke

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was this fight too early for ball?

[Spud]

Vargas lands a big right hand. Vargas on his bike Ball can’t get inside

60-54

Ball getting caught a lot more

[gregregegg]

Either Nick ball is stronger than Eddie hall, or vargas is looking for the floor whenever there is a tie up.
