Brandon Figueroa Floors Nick Ball Late, Wins WBA Featherweight Belt

Figueroa (27-2-1, 20 KOs) stunned previously unbeaten Ball (23-1-1, 13 KOs) with a left hook seconds into the final round, dropping him face-first, then blasting him through the ropes before Steve Gray waved it off. The 29-year-old Texan claimed the WBA featherweight belt and became a two-time 126-pound titleholder. Teams briefly argued, then cooled.
