Was up with that.

He seems fine enough.

I think he could've been waved off after the 1st KD. The ref only let him carry on because he was the home fighter. That stoppage was inevitable after that, and unnecessary. Is right that he isn't interviewed and stuff after that.

Was a heavy ko tbh and not right to be interviewed I'd say, plus he didn't want to get hit with friendly fire.

he used to be a good official, he became a lot more of a hometown ref over the last few years

Had £100 on Ball - Points. Apparently he was down anyway. Looks like he's been found out never thought he was elite but home fighter usually gets the decision

Don’t know the margins.

Wow! I'm seriously surprised by that. Expect Team Fig are too.

Much too close a match up for me to bet.

Anyone know if Luke Prior fought tonight?

Persuaded by good old Frank that he would win then turns out good old Frank didn't even make an appearance

Gutted for Ball but I knew Fig was dangerous after his win against Nery. That one shocked me.

It just seems that Fulton has his number

I was catching a lot more low blows coming from Figueroa there than from Ball.

Thanks Joe.

Honestly mate, I agree with you. We fuckin do my head in sometimes.

Classy behaviour from the Scouse fans again.

They have to be tied with Celtic for poor pathetic and embarassing fan base in England.

Is Scouse what we call the Liverpudlians or is Scouse like a British term for White trash?

I suppose people were made they'd lost their bets, or perhaps just upset that the hometown boy got beat. It was a great battle though.

3-1 Figueroa after 4 is a ridiculous score.

who does TURKI want figueroa to fight next on the CANELO card ?

Ive been thinking this for a long time. Boxing is best sport in the world, boxing fans are the worst. Majority of them are not fans of the sport, just fans of their man

It would be silly for it not to be Espinoza but Angelo Leo could be an alternative.

Will Cain get pulled up by BBBoC for trying to confront Figueroa's corner after the stoppage , think that incited some of Balls fans to react as well.
I seem to remember Balls corner celebrating after his wins in the past and I didn't think Figueroa's corner was over doing it last night.

A Scouser is a person from Liverpool. You can use Scouse as the adjective. I love my city and the people from here but we’re never far away from someone doing something embarrassing and at times I find it hard to defend.

Fair play of you to address the topic honestly Delta Jay

Tbf though I think my comment was a bit below the belt, obviously the vast majority of Liverpudlians are decent folk just like folk everywhere. There are always gonna be a minority of clowns who spoil it for everyone else.

That said, we’ve come a long way since the 80s and the scenes at Hagler Minter for example, this paled into insignificance compared with that
