The finish was clinical and unexpected for Nick Ball in front of his home crowd, late on Saturday night in Liverpool.
At the start of the final round of his fourth WBA featherweight title defence, against Brandon Figueroa, Ball was hit by a perfectly-timed short left and crashed face first to the canvas. He beat the count, staggered, was punched through the ropes, and was rescued after just 32 seconds of the 12th frame.
