Brandon Figueroa KO12 Nick Ball.... After a close fight, Brandon Figueroa became a two-time champion with a twelfth-round knockout of WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball. The dramatic ending came in Ball's hometown of Liverpool England. After eleven rounds, the verdict seemed like it could go either way. Round twelve began with the fighters embracing each other, but about five seconds later, Ball was face down on the canvas. The 5'2" Ball got up, and referee Steve Gray could have, but did not stop the fight there. A couple of punches later, Figueroa sent Ball through the ropes and it was over. It was Ball's first loss as a professional.  Figueroa is now 27-2-1, and starting his second reign as a champion (he was also a WBA regular champion).
