#1. WBA featherweight title: Nick Ball vs. TJ Doheny
The Nick Ball vs. TJ Doheny bout serves as the main event of the card, but isn't expected to be all that competitive. Ball steps into the bout as the WBA featherweight champion with an undefeated 21-0-1 record consisting of 12 stoppage wins. Moreover, he is still in his physical prime at 28 years old.

The same cannot be said for Doheny. Not only is he 38 and in the twilight of his career, he is also coming off a crushing TKO loss to heavy-hande Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue, and in a lower weight class no less. While he has a respectable record of 26-5, he did not look good against Inoue.
Doheny seemed slower and less mobile than usual. Whether this was due to the weight cut or age is anyone's guess. However, Ball has momentum and remains unbeaten. So, despite Doheny being the more powerful fighter with 20 stoppages, he is facing a task that may very well be too tall at his age.
Although upsets happen in boxing, Ball should be favored to emerge victorious come fight night, especially by decision, as Doheny remains outrageously tough.
The Prediction: Nick Ball via unanimous decision
