Vargas has a very good record but he’s surely a fair way short of the top guys in and around the division.

Anyway this first round will be intriguing.

I really like Ray Ford's style, but a combination of his weight draining and Ball's style will be his undoing tonight.
Yes Keith! How are we??
Pretty good Ruthless. It's great that you're still organizing the threads. :TU:

Mrs Hangover has a grade three tear in hamstring, so I'm playing nurse and trying not to watch the CL final and the 5v5.

What a solid little match up, two strong guys.

That left to the body looks nasty from Ford.

Ford is not going to give this title up easily. NB is going to have to show some world-class abilities to win this.

I dunno how much welly Ball is putting on that short uppercut on the inside, but it is there for him every time he comes in.

not heard 'welly' for years. Massively underused word.

I remember our footy coach shouting "give it some welly"

Not so sure, a lot of his work is landing on the gloves and forearms. What is getting through is good.

Can't help but feel Ford's class will tell here - Ball expending so much energy hitting arms and gloves, while Ford looks composed and picking his shots. I can see a late stoppage for Ford here.

Ball with volume, most glove shots. Ford landing telling shots

Ford takes this in the last rounds by stoppage
