Nick Ball v Ronny Rios LIVE - Ball stops Rios to defend WBA ...

We will be back next Saturday for a fantastic card from Saudi Arabia which is live on TNT Sports Box Office, headlined by the much-anticipated clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

Defending in front of his home crowd in Liverpool, ticked something off on the bucket list for Nick Ball, but now he wants to face other champions at nine stone.

"I've got one of four, there's three out there and I'm coming for them," Ball said on TNT Sports.

"That green one will be nice to get because it should be mine anyway," Ball added referring to WBC Champion Rey Vargas who had a controversial draw with the Liverpudlian in March.

Clearly having taken a breather in Round 9, Ball launched a flurry with the jab setting up powerful uppercuts with either hand and then a right hand which sent Rios out of the ring. Rios crawled under the bottom right to get back into the ring but his corner threw the towel in to end the contest.

Ball slowed down in that round, only launching the occasional flurry. He still probably edged it.

Another dominant round from Ball. Rios is somehow holding in there and landing a few left hooks to the body, but Ball switch-hitting keeps on landing heavy-handed shots.

Rios goes down early on. He didn't think it should have been a knockdown but a big left hook went in as part of the exchange. Ball patient with his pacing of the round, but at the end of the round unleashes another prolonged combination.

Another decent round for Rios, a late flurry probably still got the round for Ball. So much blood is coming from Ball's nose at the end of each round which could be a worry.

Ball is a little encumbered by his bloody nose and Rios has a bit more success. Ball still landing the more blows, but the incredible pace has lessened.

Ball not quite as active in this round, as he took a well-deserved breather, but still dominated the fight with his pinpoint, powerful jab landing at will.

Ball starts the round on fire, landing a powerful jab and a thirty-second onslaught ends with a left uppercut puts Rios down. Ball must have landed fifty more shots in the rest of the round but somehow Rios lasts until the end of the round.

Rios is too square allowing Ball to land power shots. Ball's cuffing right hand shot around the side of the guard gets through repeatedly. Going back in the straight line allowed Ball to land a flush straight right with his opponent against the ropes.

The defending WBA featherweight champion gets through early with sharp shots to the body and midway through the round goes upstairs with power shots which force Rios into the corner. Ball unleashes another power flurry in the last minute. A very good opener for the home fighter.

The roof comes off as the 'Wrecking Ball' approaches the ring to Many Men (Wish Death) by 50 Cent.

Experienced American Ronny Rios (34-4), a two-time title challenger, is heading to the ring.

"I haven't been home in six months," Rafferty said in an emotional interview on TNT Sports, before sending a message to Frank Warren.

"Frank, I'll show you the metal, you show me the money!"

Alan Smith in the corner stops the contest, seeing that his fighter had nothing left to continue the fight. Rafferty is the new British and Commonwealth super-lightweight champion. Surprisingly, the fight was level on two cards at the time of the stoppage, with Turner four up on the other.

Turner goes down at the end of the round. And not before time. Rafferty caught Turner with a big right hand that stopped him in his tracks against the ropes. Turner landed some flush left hands but Rafferty walked through them and with nothing in the tank a body shot saw Turner sink back on the ropes before he fell to the canvas.

A better round for Rafferty landing some good body shots and trapping Turner on the ropes on a couple of occasions.

Turner's corner are cautioning their fighter to keep concentrating and wisely, because the fight is almost going so perfectly that he might lose focus and let Rafferty's heavy hands get him back into the fight.

It's as you were. Turner still boxing too well for his opponent. Richie Woodhall has it 5-1 to Turner, I have it 6-0. The only question is whether Turner will tire down the stretch.

Rafferty had some success with his left hook but it is still Turner who is winning the fight with his silky boxing.

It's a shutout so far from Turner. 'The Showman' is moving more laterally than backwards and continually caught Rafferty with a cut opening up above the Lancastrian's eye.

Another round for Turner but you get the feeling that he is starting to feel Rafferty's power and fighting more on the back foot.

Rafferty said he has not faced a southpaw before and frankly it shows at present. Turner has less power but he is growing in confidence landing combinations as the round went on.

Turner countering Rafferty with fast counters, when the Lancastrian falls short with his jab.

Jack Rafferty (23-0, 14 KOs) and Henry Turner (13-0, 5 KOs) meet to contest the vacant British and Commonwealth super-lightweight titles .

A lead left uppercut puts Corinaldesi down and the referee immediately halts the contest. Turner continually trapped the Argentinean on the ropes, launching hurtful hooks with either hand to the body, then as the round approached its end, 'El Terrier' landed the knockout blow.

Another local fighter is next in the ring: 'El Terrier' Jack D Turner, who is 8-0 (7 KOs). He faces Argentine Gonzalo Corinaldesi (5-6).

The easiest fight to score all night. 40-36 in Fury's favour.

Both got what they wanted from the contest. Fury won every round and showed some potential. Arrowsmith got through the four rounds and will be able to get another payday soon.

"He is a natural switch hitter," Richie Woodhall says of Fury. Some praise from the former super-middleweight champion.

He is winning the fight comfortably.

Nothing coming back from Arrowsmith which makes things a little hard to judge, but some nice jabs and uppercuts from Fury.

Walter Fury shows some of the Fury fighting instincts, even making his debut at the age of 27. Naturally he's a switch hitter. He takes the opener comfortably.

He is here to watch his cousin Walter Fury fight who is in action next. As always talk turned to the rematch against Oleksandr Usyk which you will be able to watch live on TNT Sports Box Office.

"I'm ready to fight tomorrow," Fury said, while insisting a bout with Anthony Joshua must happen in the future.

"It would be a travesty if we didn't fight. Even if AJ loses his next twenty fights it has to happen. We have to fight. It doesn't matter if we're both 50 years old.

"I lost one big fight already with David Price. He was a British hope at one stage, that was building up lovely, it would've been a massive fight here in Liverpool or Manchester."

He came out there meaning business! He landed a fantastic right hook, which set up a cleaner straight left and a left uppercut downstairs which puts Flores on the floor and he was still unsteady when got to his feet.

A round where both fighters landed good straight left hands. Herrera being a little frustrated by Flores.

Both fighters showing some class in the opener, though as usual with two southpaws, it is not always tidy.

Jadier Herrera (15-0, 13 KOs) from Cuba now faces Nicaraguayan Oliver Flores 31-5-2 (20 KOs) in a super-featherweight bout.
