Nick Ball delivered a stunning knockout of Ronny Rios on Saturday night in Liverpool, solidifying his status as a formidable force in the boxing world. The undefeated British WBA featherweight champion, often referred to as the ‘mini Mike Tyson,’ displayed his prowess in a thrilling title defense, pummeling the American challenger through the ropes after ten intense rounds.

From the opening bell, Ball showcased his trademark aggression, launching a barrage of punches that set the tone for the fight. His rapid-fire combinations quickly made an impression, earning a nod of respect from Rios at the end of the first round.

In the second round, Ball continued to dominate, using jabs to control the distance before unleashing a flurry of hooks and uppercuts. Rios, attempting to counter with body shots, struggled to gain any traction as Ball remained unfazed. Although Rios had a height advantage, his strategy of crouching down left him vulnerable, and by the second round’s end, Ball was sporting a bloodied nose—a testament to Rios’s resilience.

The turning point came in the third round when Ball launched a fierce offensive, flooring Rios within just 30 seconds. Despite the knockdown, Rios managed to recover, but the relentless champion continued to rain down punishment. Remarkably, Rios held on through the round, demonstrating his toughness.

As the fight progressed into the later rounds, Rios attempted to wear Ball down, but the champion refused to back off. Although Ball showed signs of slowing down in the fifth, Rios’s efforts to capitalize were met with fierce resistance. A pivotal moment occurred in the seventh when Ball scored another knockdown, though it appeared more like a push based on replays.

With the help of his corner, Ball managed to stop the blood from his nose and regained control of the fight. The ninth round saw Rios draw blood once more, igniting a fierce response from Ball.

In a dramatic finish in the tenth round, Ball unleashed a relentless assault, driving Rios through the ropes. Incredibly, Rios attempted to climb back into the ring to continue fighting, but his corner wisely intervened to stop the bout, ensuring his safety.

With this victory, Nick Ball has not only defended his title successfully but has also established himself as a rising star in the boxing arena, leaving fans eager for his next challenge
