Thread: Isaac Dogboe v Nick Ball Espn+

Had no idea this was going and was picked up by espn+. I've written Dogboe off before and not terribly familiar with Ball but they're going for a wbc "silver" trinket. Denzel Bentley v Nathan Heaney in the 160 co main.

Ok so Ball and Dogboe are not the co main. All about the domestics eh . Ball very relaxed at the intro.

Dogboe keeping a very tight high guard. First right to the body has Ball shake his head no. Huh. Very active Ball but not much getting thru. Dogboe all about waiting for the body shots. Ball 1-0.

Like Dogboe first half of 2nd stronger start and sitting down to body. Dogboa actually the cleaner punched in 2nd but not according to announce. Woah Ball wobbled hard by left hook at bell. Quality shot. 1-1 even up.

i gave the first two rounds to nick but he took a big shot at the end of the second round

Ball has a bad habit of nearly turning around to right when pressed with right hands. Ball coming with the fast combos mid 3rd. Getting physical with the shoulders and pushing Dogboe back to corner. Ball rushes in again sloppy and at first looked like he was caught cleat with right falling into ropes. 2-1 Ball

third to nick

Dogboe dropped early 4th missed it. Need a replay. Dogboe on square heels in corner now

nicks get credit for a suspect knockdown call in the fourth

Ball taking 4th then gets a hard warning from ref for rough housing and elbows. Love to see a clean replay on the KD but from what they showed that was shoddy. Not really a punch at all.

fifth to nick

Ball getting caught in between his stuff with a Dogboe right hand. Dogboe upped the output and the two mixing cleaner. Couple of body shots from Dogboe at bell and think he nicked that round. 3-2 Ball.

Volume and quality mix on combinations from Ball in 6th. Dogboe trying to rock onto counter right hand but he's squaring himself in corner. 4-2 Ball

Winning 7th but Ball is really there for a quicker right hand. Just got caught with one again end of 7th. Throws good flurries though. Rail thin round for him, 5-2.

Both slowed in 8th standing ring center having a long look at each other. Again activity by Ball and maybe 3 clean right hands take round. He really is a flurry puncher though. Dogboe really needs to punch with him as he rushes on. It really is there. But so is the wear and tear on Dogboe. 6-2 Ball
