I reckon Ford is a class above ball and will show it

Nice one forcefraser. You’ve chucked in some proper intrigue thereforcefraser wrote: ↑20 Apr 2024, 05:11 I did a deep dive into some of these fighters and have done a complete U Turn on Sheeraz v Williams
I initially thought Sheeraz's jab and power would get him a stoppage here, but I doubt that now.
I know he may have improved since the fight, but watch the Skeete fight again. Skeete is no world beater, but he does move well and has skills. He was clearly winning the fight against Sheeraz through his movement and jab until he was illegally stopped on his knees.
Williams is a step up from Skeete in terms of movement and athleticism and could box Sheeraz to a shutout here.
Sheeraz has no depth to his record and this is a huge step up for him, if Williams is as good as I think he may be.
I also watched Ford again in a few fights. Barring one very poor performance, he also looks a step ahead of Ball. His last fight was impressive. Ball is tough, but Ford either beats him clear on points or Ball's corner pull him out late on.

I am really looking forward to it, think it is such a stacked card. I've no idea who will win most of the contest either.

In terms of the fighters fighting and the money spent?? Like any Saudi Card, yes, massively overrated

Slight aside, but does anyone know/have a guestimate on what the purse will be for each fighter? Always intrigues me this.

Prospect vs GOOD journeyman, rather watch fights like this than manufactured records
