Fulton Aim
Ball (21-0-1, 12 costs) acknowledges that the choice of 38-year-old TJ Doheny (26-5, 20 COs) was not his choice of opponent, but he leaves it to his manager and promoter to choose who he is fighting. He criticized the fight against this older fighter, who has a knockout loss against Naoya Inoue in September last year.
If that’s how Ball, 28, matches his promoter, he can hold his WBA forever. However, Nick says he hopes to fight a unification next year, and the man he wants is WBC Champ, Stephen Fultonwhich recently captured the belt of Brandon Figueroa last month.
Weigh-in-results
Nick Ball – 125.9
TJ Doheny – 126
Herrera Cores – 134.9
Jose Macias Enriquez – 134.2
Of all the fighters on Saturday’s bottom map is the right talent to keep an eye, Cuban lightweight contender Herrera Cores (16-0, 14 food). He is by far the best of the bunch and can soon get a world title if he is not avoided as we saw last month with WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson who fought him at Josh Padley at the 22nd February 22nd.
Herrera fights against Jose Macias Enriquez (21-3-2, 8 COs) in a 10-round scheduled fight. Don’t cut. Herrera is likely to destroy this man within two or three rounds.
Passive road
“Not really. I don’t look at it, ”Nick Ball said ifl tv When asked if TJ Doheny was his choice of opponent. I just focus on my education. My manager and promoter, Frank, they sort it all. I’m just ready for someone and whoever it is on a fancy, I fight against them, ‘Ball says, revealing it He takes a passive, non-lighter approach to the choice of his opponents.
“I expect a difficult battle. I feel like saying, “Come back to me when he’s on my weight,” because he’s still at Super Bantam. If he is at my weight, come back to me, I will wait for him, ”Ball said of the constant questions he gets about the undisputed superbantamweight champion Naoya inoue, and he expected to target him as he moved to 126.
“There may be a fight in between (inoue moves up to the ball), and hopefully it can be a unification. It will be good, and then later in the year, we will see if the fight is taking place. In general, the most important road is Saturday night. That belt (WBC) is my belt and I come for that belt (currently held by Stephen Fulton). It’s going to be mine. Hopefully one day I can fight for it and get it back because I have to have it, ”Ball said.
