Distancing a \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By James Blears<\/em><\/p>\n

World Boxing Council featherweight champion Rey Vargas is determined not to come up short against stocky Nick \u201cWrecking\u201d Ball, by distancing himself, whilst defending his title on March 8th<\/sup> at the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of the prestigious Riyadh Season and this Bill for Ball and Vargas, is enticingly entitled: Knockout Chaos\u201d also starring Anthony Joshua Vs Francis Ngannou. What a night will unfurl, unfold and uncoil.<\/p>\n

Compact Ball who is the WBC Silver Champion comes into this with a 19-0, 11 KO record. He stands just five feet two inches tall and has a reach of 59.6 inches. That hasn\u2019t hampered the fresh faced twenty six year old, who is noted for his power while facing all manner of opponents who come in all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n

The Merseyside marauder boldly states: \u201cI can box, I can fight, but my strength is all action. I\u2019m ready to make statements and it has been a long time in the coming. I\u2019m letting every featherweight on the planet know that I\u2019m coming for them. Just line them up and I\u2019ll knock them out!\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s aiming to transform silver into gold tinged with green. Hardly alchemy, but it will require vulcanized steel, amounting to appreciably even more than a sterling silver performance!<\/p>\n

Standing fair and square and loftily in his way, as well as more than ready to test his own mettle, is seasoned, savvy, burnished and wily Rey Vargas, who is five feet seven and a half inches tall and has an albatross- like reach of seventy and a half inches. Rey\u2019s record also extends appreciably longer, as it\u2019s 36-1, 22 KO\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Rey a former WBC super -bantamweight champion, and he won the WBC featherweight title by defeating Mark Magsayo, getting up from a ninth round knockdown to win a split decision. But then he came up short in an ambitious attempt to win the vacant WBC super-featherweight against robust O\u2019Shaquie Foster, who outboxed, outfoxed and outmuscled him on the night to win a UD. Rey is now back at a weight which better suits his lanky frame and to which he\u2019s determined to apply his flexible and agile state of mind.<\/p>\n

He stayed cool to win the WBC super -bantamweight title by MD, against Gavin McDonnell at the Ice Ring, Hull in chilly Yorkshire, and five successful defenses followed, including a UD win over former WBO bantamweight champion Tomoki Kameda, before chancing his arm to win the next division against Maygaso in a veritable firefight, after firstly testing the waters with a UD victory against Leonardo Baez.<\/p>\n

Rey is a maestro of distance boxing, fully utilizing his long reach. To have success Ball, who is aiming to go further than just nicking it, will have to get past that long wingspan and land often on an elusive target.<\/p>\n

Nick won the WBC Silver featherweight title with a sixth round TKO of Isaac Lowe, who was down in the second and suffered a cut above his left eye a round later. In his first defense Nick dug deep to win with a twelfth round TKO of Nathanial Kakololo, who stood a head and shoulders taller than him. A right hook, followed by an even bigger left wobbled the Namibian who turned his back and it was stopped at 1.27.<\/p>\n

Then a much shorter night against Mexican Jesus Ramirez Rubio who was down three times en route to a first round TKO defeat. Ludumo Lamati was TKO\u2019s in the twelfth when his corner threw in the towel and he was taken to hospital. But mercifully no lasting damage.<\/p>\n

Nick\u2019s most recent fight was a UD victory against former WBO super-bantamweight champion Isaac Dogboe who was down in the fourth. Nick won via a convincing UD. He\u2019d do well to note that Rey has stopped twenty two opponents and can bang a bit himself.<\/p>\n

Aged twenty six, Nick is seven years younger than Rey. This fight will be a significant step up in class for him and will test him as never before. So far he\u2019s passed every test and done everything asked of him. The biggest and tallest test now faces him. Rey must keep this fight at distance, denying the younger man the opportunity to get in close, where he\u2019s aiming to be\u2026toe to toe.<\/p>\n

Rey whose home is Otumba, State of Mexico near the pyramids of the Sun and Moon, trains at altitude. He\u2019s going to need that perpetual non- stop energy level which it provides, because Nick never stops surging forward throwing clusters of punches from all angles. Rey\u2019s key will be winging them in long and straight.<\/p>\n

The long and short of it is\u2026 either Rey maintaining distance or Nick negating it. A tall order awaits.<\/p>\n
