Very unusual to see a fully grown man that small. Ave UK height is 5'10 and a half. Puts Nick Ball in about the third percentile!
Credit to him for making a career in boxing! He's holding his own in this.

Getting spicy

 

[Junglist]

Decent round. More of the same please

 

[Junglist]

That wasn’t a knock down surely

 

[Craterloads]

That was bs literally threw him and punched him whilst on the way down

 

[Junglist]

Yeah, im not happy with that

 

[pooley]

That wasn’t a knock down surely

Ref says so lol

 

[mk17]

another round for ball

 

[Junglist]

Ref says so lol

And he had the best view! I know it has to be counted but if I was Vargas I’d feel quite hard done by

Nick is back in it though

Vargas's reaction at that seems to say so and I don't blame him.

I hope Parker and Zhang is a quick affair because I’m already feeling tired and fighting the desire to lay down on the sofa

 

[Junglist]

Ooh that has to have sealed it

You not watching the main event then? lol

You not watching the main event then? lol

I intend to but I’m already yawning

Ball lost by a point or so i think, good try though

 

[PermaChanged]

If the Zhang Parker goes the distance I'm going to struggle to be awake - they won't start boxing til gone 11pm at this rate, Joshua Ngannou won't be boxing until after midnight.

Another robbery. State of boxing now

 

[XeNoN89]

More embarrassing score cards, how does boxing continue to get away with it

 

[robfosters]

And the fella says he came to Ball’s back yard for the fight. Bloke needs to brush up on his geography

I've seen worse.
Ball lost at least 5/6 first rounds and although he came on strong his work was really scruffy. Vargas never dented him but he did land quite a lot of combinations and good clean body shots. One of the knockdowns was a foul. Don't think the 1st judge was right but can see it as closer than the commentators were claiming.
