Nick Ball says he will try to make a “statement“With his defense of the title of his WBA featherweight belt against TJ Doheny, classified # 6 in their main fight this Saturday, March 15 at M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England.
Fans do not understand why Ball, 28, defends themselves against Doheny, 38. Doheny (26-5, 20 ko) has just released a defeat of seventh round against a champion of undisputed contributor weights Naoya Inoue September 3 of last year.
Pathetic choice
In addition, the Irish native Doheny made his debut at 126, which makes him even more bizarre. It would be a little more sporty if the ball at least fought someone who fights in featherweight and who comes out of a victory. Isn’t that how it is supposed to work?
These killers are classified above Doheny in the WBA featherweight classification:
– Bruce Carrington
– Otabek Kholmatov
– Brandon Figueroa
– Mirco Cuello
Using Doheny as an opponent makes sense at a level of selling tickets to occasional boxing fans who recognize his name. However, this is not a good value for money because it is clearly failed and does not belong to the ring with a champion like Nick Ball. In addition, you are supposed to earn the world title shots, do not be abandoned from the rear of a loss with direct elimination. He beat the goal if the fighters can fight for the titles of the world after their explosion.
TJ Doheny was a good fighter years ago, but he has been on the slide since 2019, when he crossed a bad patch where he went 1-3. His career has not rebounded since, because all his victories came against scrubs.
Ball (21-0-1, 12 KB) made his second defense of his 126 LB WBA belt he won last year against Raymond Ford.
