00:00Okay, I'm happy with your waistbands, so keep your punches off the shorts.
00:05With a cold break, I expect to take one step back.
00:08Don't throw any deliberate punches around the back of the head,
00:10but take yourselves at all times. Touch gloves.
00:12Good luck, lads.
00:13An awesome atmosphere on the banks of the Mersey.
00:19Serious world title tilts already in 2026,
00:22and we've hardly got going.
00:24So much ahead on the zone.
00:26Daughton Smith, victor in New York.
00:28Jazza Dickens, Josh Kelly, Fabio Warnley and Lewis Crocker
00:32will all look to cement their reputations as our British World Champions this year.
00:38Now, Nick Ball's homecoming.
00:41The likely and lively Liverpoolian
00:44trying to defend his featherweight belt against the mandatory challenger.
00:48This southpaw, tall, 7-inch reach advantage,
00:52switches styles, calls himself the heartbreaker,
00:55never been stopped, two-weight champion,
00:58Brandon Figueroa.
00:59This is boxing at its best.
01:02I tell you what, this has all the ingredients to be a blockbuster, it really does.
01:06Just both having a look at each other at the minute,
01:08but it won't be long until these two lock horns in the centre of the ring.
01:12Both naturally want to get stuck in,
01:14both have that fire aggression,
01:16and both really put the shot together,
01:18and what an uppercut from Nick Ball.
01:20Beautiful shot from Ball,
01:22and that was the one that they would have worked on time and time again.
01:26He's switching southpaw now.
01:28See, they, they,
01:29Figueroa can switch,
01:31but usually he goes southpaw when he gets you on the ropes.
01:33I mean, they've done that,
01:34I think, trying to take away that leaping left hand there,
01:36the ball,
01:37but all it did exactly is Paul changed the angle
01:39and punched right through the middle of the gap there.
01:41He's used to fighting taller guys,
01:45and this has been dubbed a tall order as he towers over him.
01:49Brandon Figueroa,
01:51but it's a good start on the inside from Ball.
01:54Yeah, he makes his shortness like a superpower.
01:56He really does low centre of gravity,
01:58and he'll fire up with the shots,
02:00which we see with that uppercut a moment ago.
02:02He'll stab the jab into the body.
02:03He's intelligent,
02:04uses that height disadvantage well,
02:07if you want to call it that,
02:08but Figueroa,
02:10like we say,
02:11he does sort of crouch down a little bit,
02:13and Barry has a good variation of the shots.
02:15Ball trying to work the body,
02:16and that's normally where Figueroa goes,
02:18if he can reach Ball's compact 5'2'' frame,
02:24when he destroyed Lewis Barry.
02:26That's what Figueroa had tried.
02:28He's walking into these uppercuts,
02:30but what people love about the heartbreaker
02:32is that he's all action.
02:34See, we say it all the time about,
02:40I know when you're getting low,
02:41when you're low and you look up,
02:43you get a better view of the target,
02:44a bigger view of the target,
02:45you see more angles,
02:46and Ball got that naturally,
02:47he's lucky that way,
02:48so even though he's shorter,
02:49you've got to get to the target quicker,
02:51use his feet.
02:52Actually, he gets a better view of the target
02:53almost all the time,
02:54but Figueroa always looking to throw,
02:56and he'll punch with you,
02:57and that's where Ball has to throw in combinations.
03:00They're the long arms,
03:02but he likes to get up tight as well, Figueroa,
03:05a spot of blood around the bridge of the nose,
03:07out of range there,
03:08Nick Ball,
03:09but settling well in this first round.
03:13Yeah, he's tucked up nicely under pressure,
03:15whenever Figueroa's let his shots go,
03:16he's just kept a nice high guard,
03:18been a really good opening round this for Nick Ball,
03:21I think.
03:21I think Figueroa's been the busier of the two,
03:23I would say,
03:23with his hands,
03:24but I think the more effective work,
03:26especially personally in combinations,
03:27have been from Ball here.
03:29Couple of marks under the eyes of Nick Ball,
03:31already,
03:32to all aggressive fighters.
03:42Fight Night on DAZN,
03:44brought to you by that prize guy.
03:45Paul Figueroa and that uppercut,
03:54straight away from the man from Kirby.
03:57Yeah,
03:58the quality of shots in that round,
04:00I think two uppercuts were classy from Ball.
04:03Figueroa,
04:04dangerous,
04:05isn't he?
04:05He's in your face,
04:06not afraid to let the shots go,
04:08but it's just heating up nicely.
04:09Nell Tarleton,
04:10Alan Rutkin,
04:11John Conte,
04:12my hero,
04:13Paul Hodkinson,
04:14Andy Holligan,
04:15the Smith brothers,
04:16David Price,
04:17Tony,
04:17Tasha,
04:18and now Nick.
04:20Pugilistic richness
04:21in the city of Liverpool
04:23and the uppercut
04:25is obviously the key
04:26in the Ball-Stevenson tactics.
04:29He throws to that balance almost.
04:31He's almost like,
04:31he's thrown out of the other cup,
04:33he's almost kneeling
04:33too far to his left
04:34and somehow gets him on target.
04:36That kind of keeps him safe though,
04:38doesn't it?
04:38The way he just gets on the outside
04:39of that south forward jab
04:40and screws that left through,
04:41it's intelligent.
04:44Brandon Figueroa,
04:45full of energy
04:47and he has spite in those shots as well.
04:5019 knockouts
04:52in 29 fights
04:54at top level.
04:56Just had scores and scores
04:58of 12 round fights,
04:59five world titles.
05:02It's important for Figueroa
05:04to keep Ball
05:04with his back on the rope
05:06if he can
05:07and that's what he likes to do.
05:08Funny enough,
05:09you see him,
05:09he usually has the advantages
05:11of a height and reach
05:12but he likes to nullify
05:13the work of the opponent
05:15by just smothering.
05:16And whipped in a cute body shot there,
05:18Figueroa,
05:19getting through
05:19for the first time
05:21and that will be interesting
05:22to see if he can
05:23slow Nick Ball down.
05:25Not many can back up Ball,
05:26can they?
05:27No, but you're right there,
05:28the body shots are
05:29one of his keys to success.
05:31Going to be a lot more difficult
05:31to land the shots,
05:33just missing with the left there,
05:33but we see it against
05:34Magdaleno, didn't we?
05:36Lewis Neary is a very,
05:37very good body puncher,
05:39finds the home for him with ease.
05:41See, ironically,
05:42I think a good shot there from Ball,
05:44I think he has to suffocate
05:45the space of Ball.
05:45When you tend to think
05:46it would be the other way,
05:48I think Ball uses the range
05:50quite well,
05:50he jumps in the distance
05:51with fast feet,
05:52so you've got to smother it,
05:53not allowing that space
05:54against the mountain attack.
05:56I thought that win over Neary
05:58was fantastic from Figueroa,
06:00he was unbeaten
06:01and about to become
06:03a potential superstar,
06:04the Freddie Roach trained man
06:06and Figueroa was fabulous
06:08that night,
06:09he's a two-weight world champion,
06:13Nick Ball reigning
06:14at nine stone.
06:16Do you know what as well,
06:17he's ticked a lot of boxes,
06:19hasn't he, Nick Ball,
06:20with the opposition that he's had,
06:22the Ray Vargas draw,
06:23and he showed a lot about
06:25in the Ray Ford,
06:27exactly,
06:27even Goodman last time,
06:28it wasn't the greatest of starts
06:31but he's come through these
06:32and I think that's making him
06:33a more well-rounded fighter
06:34but Figueroa,
06:35I tell you what,
06:35he's been fired up all week,
06:37really full of self-belief
06:39and that he just,
06:40you can see he wants
06:41to burst into life.
06:42The combination
06:43from ball to head and body
06:45at Figueroa
06:46and not going anywhere
06:47and swiping in body shots.
06:49Good uppercut there from Ball though,
06:51I think that might be the difference
06:52we felt that before,
06:53the fight just,
06:54you know,
06:54if he is a bit jaded Figueroa,
06:56the speed,
06:56the ball,
06:57the throwing combination,
06:58that might be the difference.
06:59Nice fast one,
07:00two again there from Ball
07:01and then just
07:02out the distance again.
07:03Yeah,
07:04it was quick hands,
07:04wasn't it?
07:05Really sharp,
07:06didn't exaggerate,
07:07all right,
07:09load up,
07:09that's nice,
07:10took his head off the line there
07:11and threw a nice left hand,
07:12really,
07:12really good start.
07:16Great couple of rounds
07:17so far
07:19and we know that,
07:21don't we,
07:21the Vegas trip,
07:23Saturday February the 21st,
07:26Mario Barrios
07:27and Ryan Garcia,
07:29WBC World World
07:31Tourate Championship
07:32on the line,
07:34topping a stack card
07:36at high stakes
07:37on February 21st
07:39after Wood Warrington,
07:41available now
07:41as part
07:42of the ultimate
07:44subscription.
07:46That's what you want?
07:47Yeah,
07:47my goal is to get you
07:48on that New York,
07:49New York rollercoaster
07:50at some point.
07:51That is my goal.
07:53They wouldn't let me on there.
07:55There was a little sign saying,
07:57if I can touch your chin,
07:58you can come in
07:58and I just couldn't quite reach.
08:00Could Nick Ball now?
08:01Me, Nick and Cal
08:02all sat on the side
08:03crying.
08:04Tell you what,
08:05Nick might have a rollercoaster
08:07here to deal with
08:08with Brandon Figueroa
08:09and never been stopped.
08:1126 victories
08:12for the heartbreaker
08:14who got his nickname,
08:15started boxing at seven
08:16and there were
08:18a group of girls
08:20that loved his looks
08:22and they followed him
08:22through the amateurs.
08:25Are you talking about me or?
08:27Not talking about you,
08:28Barry Jones.
08:29Maybe they did in Wales as well.
08:30I tell you what,
08:31it's a really good start
08:32here from Ball.
08:32That left hand
08:33has been really good for him.
08:35Yeah, he threw two
08:36lovely shots, didn't he?
08:37It was a left hook
08:38that started,
08:38then again he threw
08:39that screw shot,
08:39just telegraphing it
08:40at that time
08:41but definitely using,
08:42as Barry said,
08:43that lead hand
08:43really well.
08:45Compact,
08:46experienced,
08:47quick ball
08:48and what Paul Stevenson
08:50says is
08:50until you're in there
08:51with him
08:52you don't know
08:53how good he is.
08:53Yeah, do you know what,
08:54I think a lot of people
08:55think he's a one-trick pony.
08:56He's not,
08:56there's a lot of good stuff
08:57that he does,
08:58you know,
08:58defensively
08:59moves his feet
09:00really well,
09:01he'll sort of lure
09:02his opponents
09:02into his shots
09:03and then all of a sudden
09:04he can burst into life,
09:05he stays low,
09:06then goes higher.
09:08Throwing a nice left hook
09:09there from inside
09:10the southpaw stance.
09:11Good right hook
09:11from Figueroa
09:12as well I thought.
09:13Very good right hook,
09:14and a left to the body
09:15from Figueroa.
09:16There's always a risk
09:17with ball
09:17because he has to close
09:18the distance quick
09:19which means
09:19he almost has to jump
09:20into his attacks at times
09:21so there's always a moment
09:22there that he can get caught
09:24if he's up against
09:24someone with really
09:25sharp reflexes.
09:26Big deep breath there
09:27from the champion
09:28as well,
09:29only in the third round
09:30already
09:31a pace being set,
09:33he's broken records,
09:34Figueroa,
09:35for punches thrown
09:36in fights
09:37and this is where
09:37he's got to work now
09:38as soon as he gets
09:39ball backed onto the ropes
09:40or as soon as
09:41ball plants his feet
09:42then you've got to get busy
09:43but I'll tell you what
09:44he does have to
09:45tighten up defensively
09:46a few of those
09:47well I say a few
09:47lots of uppercuts
09:48already only in round three
09:50have already crept
09:51through the guard
09:51of Figueroa.
09:53And Figueroa
09:53somehow has got to get
09:54those body shots
09:55that he's so good at
09:56into play early
09:57just to slow down
09:58the speed there
09:59of a very strong
10:01compact ball.
10:05Already feels like
10:07they've done
10:07six, seven, eight rounds
10:09these two
10:10centering
10:12it's the first thing
10:13Steve Gray had to do
10:14Good counter off that
10:17Figueroa
10:18took a nice step back
10:19he missed with the
10:19overhand right ball
10:20you've got to
10:21use those opportunities
10:22to find your counter
10:23Good
10:25Yeah that was a nice
10:26left to the body
10:27though wasn't it
10:27from Figueroa
10:28Yeah he's thrown a few
10:29of those already
10:29in the first quarter
10:31of this mandatory
10:33challenge
10:34It's not a voluntary
10:36this for Nick Ball
10:37he had to go through
10:38with it
10:38He's got the
10:40home advantage
10:41I mean you
10:44mentioned Alan Rookin
10:45earlier on
10:45that's the three
10:46hardest world title
10:47challenges
10:47by any British
10:48fighter ever
10:49by almost any
10:50fighter ever
10:50just to be honest
10:51but I mean
10:52the quality of opposition
10:54that Ball has faced
10:55since he's been
10:55champion
10:55has been
10:56absolutely fantastic
10:57It's been very
10:59very good
10:59and of course
11:00if he
11:00successful
11:01and passes
11:02John Conti
11:02on paper
11:03let's not forget
11:04John Conti
11:05one of the greatest
11:06fighters Britain
11:06has ever produced
11:08but Nick Ball
11:09at 28
11:10he's got a city
11:12behind him
11:12he's got a world
11:13featherweight crown
11:14and big fights
11:15on the horizon
11:16against the likes
11:17of Naya
11:17in a way
11:18needs a good start
11:19to 2026
11:20this could be tough
11:22this could be tough
11:22on the inside
11:30a bit higher
11:31switch a couple
11:32at the body
11:32now as well
11:33now and again
11:34on the
11:34so
11:35pretty much
11:36what we're doing
11:36on our output
11:37our counter
11:38must be a bit higher
11:39and also
11:39catch this fella
11:40walking forward
11:41with quick time
11:42counts
11:42this morning
11:43yeah good work
11:54again finding the
11:55shots
11:55ball through the
11:57middle
11:57of the guard
11:59of Figueroa
11:59I like to see him
12:00just tuck those
12:00elbows in the
12:01American
12:02but yeah
12:03again heating up
12:03nice here
12:04just signs there
12:04Figueroa
12:05starting to grow
12:05into it more
12:06and just seeing
12:08ball
12:08in that little
12:09exchange there
12:09go low
12:10just even though
12:11he's small
12:12he'll get lower
12:12and then he'll
12:13explode up
12:14with a different
12:14angle which he's
12:15very hard to defend
12:16against
12:16a decent start
12:18from Nick Ball
12:19through 9 minutes
12:20but Brandon Figueroa
12:21has played his part
12:22that is some good
12:23body shots
12:24and this
12:25has got the look
12:26of a long
12:27hard
12:27grueling
12:28affair

12:36Figueroa
12:37just 8 weeks
12:38apart in age
12:39maybe Ball's
12:40freshness
12:41will help him
12:42tonight
12:42but Figueroa
12:43Darren
12:44looks determined
12:45and he has
12:46that steely
12:47intent
12:47yeah he does
12:48and starting
12:50to creep forward
12:50a bit more
12:51purpose now
12:52starting to get
12:52on top
12:53of Ball

13:00the word he is
13:01with Figueroa
13:02he can't pull
13:02the trigger
13:03quick enough
13:03I mean
13:04you can block
13:05and conquer
13:06effectively
13:06but it's just
13:07a little
13:07millisecond too slow
13:08I think
13:09and just a little
13:09ball to maybe
13:10get into play
13:11in the second phase
13:12thrown more

13:26starting to let
13:26his hands go

13:45good one Figueroa
13:45their ball just held
13:46his feet
13:47after he did a good
13:47little pocket of work
13:48and Figueroa worked
13:49away
13:49I think he used to
13:50switch back stance
13:51I did for Figueroa
13:52do you think this could
13:54come down to stamina
13:56because it's hot in here
13:57and the pace has been
14:00fairly electric
14:01I mean they're both
14:02used to it
14:02but against each other
14:04oh that's that
14:05on the waistband
14:07there wasn't it
14:08but yeah look
14:09I think
14:10you have to be
14:11physically prepared
14:12to give it
14:14absolutely everything
14:15110% say yes
14:16it could play a part
14:17for sure
14:18because this will
14:19I'm telling you
14:20as these rounds
14:20progress
14:21and move forward
14:23it's going to get
14:23hard it's going to
14:24get dark
14:24from Figueroa
14:26there
14:26Manny Robles
14:27this very experienced
14:28excellent cornerman
14:29happy with it
14:31ball comes back
14:32body
14:33then head
14:33now Figueroa's turn
14:35here we go guys
14:37fourth round
14:38and it's really
14:39heating up
14:40that's a lovely jab
14:44again the left hand
14:44has been the weapon
14:45so far for ball
14:46fires it from the hip
14:48doesn't he
14:48so sharp with the shot
14:50just changing up
14:51the direction
14:51with that lead hand
14:52there nice left
14:53back though
14:53from Figueroa
14:54he's got a better
14:55round here
14:55haven't he
14:55yeah he has
14:56good work again
14:58there from him
14:59that's better from
15:02Figueroa there
15:03just looking up
15:03shot over the top
15:04he's trying to get
15:05a bit more variety
15:06in this attack
15:06good to put two
15:10shots in the end
15:10of that
15:11sort of blocked the
15:12left didn't he
15:13over the top
15:14Figueroa
15:14then he landed
15:14the two shots
15:15after ball
15:16another shot
15:17Figueroa back
15:19end of the
15:20fourth round
15:21how are we seeing
15:24it through four
15:25let's get to
15:26Dev who's got
15:27Liam Smith with him
15:28so far
15:35a great fight
15:36exactly how I thought
15:37it was going to be
15:38I think anyone in boxing
15:39who knew Figueroa
15:40knew this was going to be a tough fight for Nick Ball
15:42how do you see it playing out
15:55I don't know
15:56the both world class fighters
15:59they've both been in championship fights before
16:01so it's a bit of a state switched on
16:03in the middle rounds
16:03it's the big difference
16:04from you know
16:05world class fighters
16:06to elite fighters
16:07thanks Liam
16:07go and enjoy
16:08four rounds down
16:09eight to go
16:10yeah Liam
16:12absolutely right
16:13compelling on paper
16:15and it is turning out
16:16in reality
16:17to be every bit as good
16:19as we hoped
16:21into the fifth round
16:25remember the pink and black
16:26with the hearts on
16:27for the heartbreaker
16:28from Texas
16:29Brandon Figueroa
16:31in fight number 30
16:32Nick Ball unbeaten
16:33in 24
16:34I want to get to Carl Frampton
16:35how are you seeing it?
16:37I have a 3-1
16:38but it could easy be 2-0
16:40I think that Nick Ball
16:41maybe just landed
16:42the cleaner shots
16:43in the last round
16:43but Brandon Figueroa
16:45obviously the output
16:46is a lot greater than Ball
16:47he's just got to be
16:49a little bit cautious
16:50that he doesn't get outworked
16:51in rounds
16:51especially as we go down
16:52the stretch here
16:53and it becomes a little bit harder
16:54if you're looking at
16:55the two guys
16:56kind of body language
16:58and even Nick Ball's mouth
16:59it seems to be open
17:00and gaping already
17:01where Figueroa
17:02looks like
17:03he's just starting to fight
17:04so really really good fight
17:06and I think it's only
17:07going to get better
17:08but Nick has got to be
17:09so careful
17:10and not let rounds
17:11drift away
17:11by being outworked
17:13yeah good stuff Carl
17:15it is close
17:16it is tight
17:17he tries to shove
17:18Figueroa off
17:19and we've got some
17:21very interesting stats
17:22from CompuBox
17:23about Figueroa's
17:26power
17:27and I've landed
17:29in the last round
17:30have a look at this
17:31yeah look at that
17:32Jav's landed
17:34from Ball
17:34but look at the power
17:35from Figueroa
17:3624 shots to the 13
17:38and just
17:39you know again
17:39showing that
17:40he's growing into this contest
17:43I gave the fourth round
17:44to Figueroa
17:45I think he's really
17:46starting to
17:47get in
17:48to the territory
17:50he wants it
17:51but Ball is so tough
17:53blood from the nose
17:54from Nick
17:55he wasn't great
17:55was he last time
17:56in Riyadh
17:57against Goodman
17:57but he's back
17:59in front of somebody
17:59who's there
18:01for him to hit
18:01but Carl pointed
18:03at it earlier on
18:04I mean you know
18:04you can look stellar
18:06against everybody
18:07and Goodman's
18:07a world class fighter
18:09just people thought
18:09he was going to walk
18:10through him
18:10the interesting
18:11about a hard fight
18:13like this
18:13Ball engages the legs
18:15because he dips low
18:16and he pushes
18:16which is the right thing
18:17to do
18:17to get more speed
18:18on his work
18:18but he might waste
18:20more energy
18:20than Figueroa
18:21so down the stretch
18:22that'll be interesting
18:23how that plays out
18:23that stamina issue
18:24Barry
18:26do you think
18:27Figueroa is still
18:28as quick as he wants
18:29I don't think he is
18:31no but I think
18:31Ball's right in front of him
18:32so all he's got to do
18:34is fire back
18:34no he's just got to
18:35throw straight shots
18:36right where he is
18:37Ball's not really
18:38pivoting around the outside
18:39and certainly not changing
18:41the angle
18:41what he does do though
18:43what he does do though
18:43Figueroa
18:43he does fight to his tread
18:45but as you get older
18:46that does help you
18:46he's not having to
18:47change
18:48having to change
18:49or adapt
18:49at all
18:50he just does what he does
18:52and that gives you
18:52longevity for sure
18:53I believe
18:54and you know
18:54he's creeping forward
18:55he's landing good shots
18:56that damage to the nose
18:58doesn't help you
18:58breathe in
18:59already
18:59and a mouth wide open
19:01of Nick Ball
19:02see Ball's got the speed
19:03to land first
19:04he's just sure there
19:05with a 1-2
19:05what he has to do then
19:06is get wrong the side
19:07of the body
19:08and make Figueroa
19:09look for him
19:09good shot
19:10lovely punch from Nick Ball
19:12there
19:13found that when he needed it
19:14you do feel sometimes
19:16didn't you
19:17it's quality versus quantity
19:18and it catches the eyes
19:20of the judges
19:20up on Figueroa
19:21Figueroa back
19:23oh this is good
19:32you're letting
19:41you're allowing him
19:42to take the tempo
19:43a little bit
19:43you gotta take over
19:44you're waiting for him
19:45to throw in order
19:45for you to engage
19:46you gotta be first
19:47you gotta be first
19:48and you gotta be last
19:49okay
19:50you gotta be first
19:53and you gotta be last
19:54you gotta take the tempo
19:55you understand
19:57don't wait for him
19:58to start working
19:59he's gonna stop doing
20:00you and start taking
20:01his ass back
20:02you gotta start
20:02taking over
20:03and you're talking
20:04too much
20:05an instant from
20:06Manny Robles
20:07about the tempo
20:08just being allowed
20:09to be dictated
20:10by Nick Ball
20:11the Figueroa
20:12family
20:13all here
20:14at ringside
20:15of course
20:15his brother Omar
20:16world champion
20:17as well
20:19Brandon
20:21it's a fighting
20:22family
20:23and Manny
20:23we know
20:24a long time
20:25trained the Americans
20:27Andy Ruiz
20:28of course
20:28to that
20:29world title victory
20:30over AJ
20:31and he's spot on
20:33isn't he there
20:34Adam
20:34with the advice
20:35you know
20:36saying
20:36don't wait
20:36be first
20:37get on him
20:38be busy
20:38and that's key
20:39when you fight
20:40like Figueroa does
20:41you know
20:42you gotta
20:42outwork your man
20:44two great corners
20:46Barry Jones
20:47two terrific fighters
20:49I mean it's brilliant
20:50what we're getting
20:51at the moment
20:51yeah
20:52and it's the fight
20:52we thought we would
20:53see really
20:53it's gonna be down
20:55to a wall of attrition
20:56but they're both so
20:58energy-based fighters
20:59they both like to
21:00wear each dead
21:00opponents down
21:01and neither one
21:02wants to give
21:02any quarter
21:03Figueroa
21:04if he needs a jab
21:05or feint
21:06take a little step back
21:07because you know
21:08Figueroa's gonna come
21:09then fire back
21:09with the counters
21:10that left uppercut
21:11I'm not sure
21:12if he's just neglected
21:13throwing it
21:14or Figueroa's just
21:15sort of sussed out
21:16how to avoid
21:18that shot landing
21:19from ball
21:20good volume there
21:21from Figueroa
21:22and also just
21:23utilizing his
21:24physical advantages
21:26there
21:26sometimes he negates
21:28them with his style
21:29doesn't he
21:29when he gets in
21:30so close
21:31but he's got a
21:31lovely jab
21:32and if you keep
21:33ball at bay
21:34a bit as well
21:35it might just keep
21:35him fresher down
21:37the home stretch
21:38I think ball's
21:39having a good little
21:40pocket of work here
21:40to be fair
21:41nice clean work
21:41from him
21:42I just don't like
21:43the way he coming
21:43back in a straight
21:44line
21:44that's the only
21:45worry
21:45for him here
21:46good shot
21:49nice shot there
21:50again
21:51throws that nice
21:53lead left hook
21:54you can throw
21:54the right hand
21:55straight down
21:55that southpaw
21:56stance of
21:58Figueroa
21:59he's finding
21:59those quality
22:00shots Darren
22:01that you're
22:01talking about
22:02those single
22:03ones that
22:04send the sweat
22:06spraying off
22:06Figueroa
22:07and I think
22:07he's stopped
22:08the work a little
22:08bit
22:08with the subtle
22:10footwork ball
22:11Figueroa
22:12just struggling
22:13a little bit
22:13to land
22:14you know
22:16certainly with
22:17a volume
22:18good shot
22:20there from
22:20Figueroa
22:20but he's waiting
22:21too long
22:22isn't he
22:22Figueroa
22:23and Ball's
22:24having a really
22:24good round here
22:25it's good tempo
22:27this that's what
22:27Manny Robles
22:28was saying
22:28you've got to
22:29stop that
22:30Brandon
22:31has he got
22:32the physical
22:33attributes at
22:34this stage
22:34in his career
22:35to match
22:36Ball
22:37just pouring
22:38a little bit
22:39to that southpaw
22:39jab
22:40Figueroa
22:41he's got to be
22:41careful
22:42because he's
22:43countering really
22:43well
22:44Ball
22:45yeah
22:49good footwork
22:50as well
22:51from Nick
22:51Ball
22:52in the
22:52sixth round
22:53he can just
22:55really cuckle
22:56into the body
22:57there
22:57Figueroa
22:57as he
22:58touches
22:58the gloves
22:59upstairs
22:59of Ball
23:00really sink
23:00the shot
23:01down low
23:02afterwards
23:03they're getting
23:06a bit agitated
23:06in this red
23:08corner
23:08the American
23:09team
23:10with their
23:11man
23:12I feel
23:13he's not
23:14doing enough
23:14I don't
23:15think
23:15good round
23:16for Nick
23:16Ball
23:16who slams
23:17in a body
23:18shot
23:18Figueroa
23:19too little
23:20too late
23:21and the
23:22champion
23:22will get
23:23a good
23:23roar
23:23from the
23:24crowd
23:24here
23:25and we're
23:25going to
23:26get over

23:47I think Nick
23:48had a brilliant
23:48start to the
23:49fight
23:49he's a bit
23:51more spiteful
23:51a bit more
23:52ferocious
23:52with his shot
23:53but we know
23:54our boy
23:55he always
23:55comes on
23:56strong
23:56towards

44:27Brandon Figueroa is going to put his foot to the pedal.
44:30Oh.
44:31And he does.
44:32Nick Ball.
44:33Oh, drama.
44:35In the final round.
44:36Can he get up from this?
44:39He bravely gets to his feet.
44:41Steve Frey will give him every chance.
44:43He is the world champion.
44:44But there's so much time left in the round.
44:48And Brandon Figueroa.
44:50He's going to take Nick Ball out here.
44:52He's through the ropes.
44:54Figueroa.
44:55That's a call.
44:56That's one.
44:56The world featherweight title all over a game.
45:01Manny Robles.
45:02Like he did with Andy Ruiz.
45:04He's in the corner.
45:06It's an upset here in Liverpool.
45:08As Nick Ball loses for the first time in his life.
45:13In a late, late drama.
45:16And there's just tensions in the ring.
45:18Because Figueroa was celebrating.
45:21Well, I think Nick Ball just needs some medical attention.
45:24And everything just needs to be calm down here, which it will be.
45:28You can understand the success excitement of Figueroa.
45:32But we just have to make sure that after the knockdowns, that Nick Ball is okay.
45:37Because it was a long, hard, grueling fight.
45:41And the safety of the boxers is paramount here.
45:45Figueroa did nothing wrong there.
45:46And I don't think he might...
45:47Unless he said something to somebody ringside.
45:50And I didn't see that.
45:51He's celebrating a win of all wins there.
45:54That's the truth of it.
45:55And he is...
45:56Why shouldn't he jump up and cheer?
45:57Unless he said something to somebody, that's different.
45:59I didn't see that.
46:00But if he's just celebrating and shouting like...
46:03Then that's bad form, I would say.
46:06I'll tell you what.
46:07What a way to win a world title.
46:09Incredible.
46:10It completely silenced this crowd here in Liverpool.
46:13We had Andrew Kane coming back from the impossible earlier tonight.
46:17And now his stable mate is on the other end.
46:21He got caught throwing...
46:22A lot happened there.
46:22I think, if we should see it again.
46:24He's...
46:25Paul's got to throw a punch.
46:26And Figueroa's just gone left hand right on the middle.
46:29And he's caught him coming forward with a shot.
46:30It's more just perfect timing for Figueroa.
46:33And the worst timing for Paul.
46:35I'll be fascinated to see how the judges had it at that stage.
46:39We were two and a half minutes from getting a decision.
46:43Which way would it have gone?
46:44But in boxing, the unpredictable happens.
46:48Late on, in a fight.
46:50A 12th round drama.
46:52It is the 20th stoppage win of Brandon Figueroa's long career.
46:57Nick Ball is back on his feet.
46:59And Figueroa can't celebrate.
47:02And he has broken the hearts of the Liverpool fans.
47:05But he did it with persistence, will, determination.
47:10And you've got to take your hat off to him.
47:11And bundles and bundles apart.
47:14Self-belief, as you say.
47:15Didn't give in.
47:16Look, do you know what?
47:17I had it very, very close.
47:18I had it...
47:19After 10 rounds, five apiece.
47:21Then I had Ball winning the 11th.
47:23I preferred the counter-punching on the back foot.
47:25But I'll tell you what.
47:26What a way to win a world title.
47:31In the away fighter's backyard.
47:34Land in a heavy shot like that.
47:37Thunderous left hand, Barry.
47:39And this is what makes this sport so tough.
47:41Because when you're tired, when you're exhausted, you're giving everything to throw every shot you can throw.
47:46But your vision's not quite there.
47:48Because you're tired, aren't you?
47:49You're making mistakes.
47:50And you just don't see the punches coming.
47:52But you've got to risk it.
47:53And Ball risks it all the time.
47:55He was fantastic again tonight.
47:56So much toughness.
47:57And was winning the fight for me.
47:59Only just...
48:00But what a shot from Figueroa to pull it out of the bag in the last round.
48:04And look what it means to fighter and trainer.
48:07We saw with Adam Booth and Josh Kelly.
48:09Manny Robles put everything into this.
48:12He's a wonderful guy in boxing.
48:14And Brandon Figueroa deserves his world championship tonight.
48:21Barrios Garcia, the ring high stakes is almost upon us.
48:25Don't miss this one, live on DAZN.
48:28Connor Ben will be a very interested spectator.
48:32It's a fantastic line-up in February.
48:35The 21st, Wood Warrington here.
48:37Barrios Garcia in the States.
48:40And it's the Americans who get the victory tonight.
48:45Brandon Figueroa is world featherweight champion.
48:49And he's done it in a 12th round stoppage of Nick Ball.
48:56What a fight.
48:58And what a night for boxing.
49:00Sad for Nick, of course.
49:02Loses for the first time.
49:04He'll take the defeat on the chin and he will be back, of course.
49:07But it is Brandon Figueroa who can celebrate and take that belt back to Texas.
49:13Ladies and gentlemen, here is the official time.
49:2232 seconds of round number 12.
