Date:
Venue:
Riyadh in Saudi Arabia

Prediction: Nick Ball on Points

Result: Nick Ball by Points

This fight was a tough one to score at times because it was close, but I thought Goodman was the more accurate fighter and showed better defence. I wouldn’t be mad at a Ball win if it was 7-5, but these cards we got were absolutely horrible. 118-110 and 117-111 are horrible and once again prove that judges can’t score certain types of fights and seem to always give credit to the A-side.
