By: Sean Crose WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball retained his title Saturday night by repeatedly dropping, then stopping, a very game Ronny Rios. Although the 21-0-1 Ball dominated the fight, his nose got pretty busted up throughout the bout. “My nose always goes,” he said afterward, “it’s boxing, you’re going to get a little nosebleed. It’s what makes champions.” Such a businesslike attitude certainly served Ball well as he impressed what was essentially his hometown crowd at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England. Not that Ball had much bad to say about the defeated challenger after the bout ended…
