Nick Ball Slammed For Sam Goodman Pick: Supporters accuse WBA Champ of Avoid Real Fly Weight Threats
Nick Ball is being raked over the coal by fans for choosing the Super Bantam Sam Goodman Bantam Weight Competitor as his next challenger for him to defend his WBA featherweight title against him on August 16th on Dazn PPV.
Sam Goodman fights backlash
Some fans consider a ball (22-0-1, 13 kos) as the the worst kind of promoter Since winning a 126 lbs WBA belt in June 2024 with a victory over Raymond Ford.
Since winning a WBA belt, Ball has defended against 122-weights in a row against TJ Doheny and Ronny Rios. Now, he chooses another super bantam weight, Sam Goodman 20-0, 8 kos), to protect his WBA feather pressure belt against.
Turki Alalshikh He should have informed Nick Ball, so he would fight on his August 16th card in Riyadh, that he needs to fight one of the highly regarded, respected fighters from the Featherweight section, not another fighter from the Super Bantamweight section.
Ideal Picks:
- Bruce Carrington
- Otabek Kholmatov
- Angelo leo
Avoid top featherweight competitors?
Some fans believe that Ball is a purposeful opposition fought from Section 122 lbs to hold on to his WBA featherweight belt long enough to get fighting against Japanese star Naoya inoue When he moves up to section 126-pies in a year or two.
Fighters of smaller fighters like TJ Doheny, 38, a weak Goodman, and the 34 -year -old RIOS ensures that Ball will keep his WBA title until Inoue moves up for that big pay day.
“If he wants to get a shot, he has to be careful about how he goes around it because he may not get that shot,” Nick Ball told Ring magazine channelResponding to the WBA #2-site Bruce Carrington competitor saying that his team has already made an offer to fight and without hearing back.
WBA title milking
Essentially, Ball says he will use Carrington’s conversation as a reason to avoid his fighting, which is bad on his behalf. Nick has already skipped past Bruce in the title defenses he has made since winning a WBA belt. So far, two Ball defenses have come against these fighters:
- TJ DOHENY: A 38-year-old man who was removed from the Super Bantamweight (122-lb) section to be used as his challenger.
- Ronny Rios: Another fighter who recently moved up from 122 to the featherweight section. He was not considered worthy of fighting for the WBA world title against a ball. The choice of RIOS was considered another way for Nick to extend his time as the promoter through his milking.
“Everyone is talking about it, everyone wants it to happen,” Ball said of a battle between him and Naoya Inoue. “I’ll fight anyone. So that will be exciting when it happens.
