Nick Ball efficiently defended his WBA featherweight title as we speak in Liverpool, dropping Ronny Rios thrice en path to a tenth spherical TKO victory.
Ball (21-0-1, 12 KO) continued his breakout 12 months in 2024 by placing Rios down within the third and seventh rounds, then once more for the final time in spherical 10, the place Rios (34-5, 17 KO) truly fell by way of the ropes to the apron, however did come again into the ring earlier than his nook waved the towel.
It was a real warrior effort from Rios, 34, who hadn’t fought at this degree in over two years and has had only one combat in any respect in that timeframe. However the 27-year-old Ball was, as at all times, merely relentless, and was in a position to break down Rios, with Rios unable to do sufficient injury to discourage the defending titleholder, regardless of bloodying Ball and touchdown loads of his personal pictures.
