Goodman's feet not moving as quickly. Ball's able to apply pressure

Ball is struggling to close the distance and land anything when he does. He's not able to put on any sustained pressure. Maybe the opportunity will open up if Goodman starts to tire
Even if he isn't landing, Ball needs to keep the Australian working hard or he won't get the chance to tire him out

I have ball a lot more comfortable than most here, the harder more eye catching punches throughout

Ball is starting to take control. It's probably 4-3 now.

Said it before I thought ball would be too strong and hit too hard but he.s not the later ends will tell and ball may well find Sam's the strong one in the later ends

Must be watching a different fight to DAZN comms. Ball is winning this. Smith is hugging Goodmans nuts must have a bet on.

I'm getting that feeling too. I have Goodman up 5-4 but there's close rounds going either way. Ball is missing a lot which makes it difficult to judge

Close fight. Ball will get it due to the politics but this is very close.

The Fury fight should have been his swansong. He's earned millions and yet still greedy for this payday.
I'm sure he will pay for it long term.

Thought that too. Smith was praising a rasping three-punch combo in the last round. None of which landed.

Ball doing what's needed in the championship rounds. If he closes out the 12th in the same way he'll get a close UD IMO.

I'll bet you a BoxRec £1 that Goodman bust him up with nonstop high output punching.
I will take your bet Keith!
I owe you £1, but that was a hell of an effort by Goodman.

It was, he was better than I was expecting. And two of those cards were silly.
