[Spicoli]

Have a sneaking suspicion Ball will look absolutely devastating in his first defense. What a stacked division featherweight is right now. So many potential barn burner match ups and unifications.

Great Finish from Rafferty. Thoroughly enjoyed that fight.

Cain was on the undercard and he trains with Ball. He won in 2 rounds and looks very good.

Also a young undefeated 22 year old Cuban defector Herrera won easy and looks like a future world champion won on the undercard too.
