Comments Thread For: In defense of Jaron Ennis' defense

[Knuckle sandwich]

It seemed to me that Boots wanted the KO and was willing to take chances to get it , he.wasn't terribly concerned with what was coming back at him. Karen fought a million times better than in the first fight. Karen is better than we all thought , including Boots. You can't swim without getting wet.

No smoke fought someone the same size as him, as i have said before he went 24 rounds made to look bad, thets see what breadman has to say about this unproven legend.

This guy is Broner 2.0 down to the shorts! All he’s got going for him is some natural talent and a tremendous weight advantage. But he’s inevitably going up in weight, and with that weight advantage taken away, he’s just as inevitably going to get undone, Broner style. Chukhadzhian hit him a heck of a lot, almost at will. It’s only a matter of time.

Ennis gets a bit too wild at times, and then an opponent can punch in between those punches, or counter it afterwards.

Crawford can criticise yes, but he doesn't fight Ennis. That's a duck in my book. Yes, he could beat Ennis for sure, but let's see them battle it out.

Is it just me or is reading an Elliot Worsell article like chewing on shoe leather?
Jaysus, man, say it plainly and simply.
Youse doesn't has to be Chaucer or Shakespeare.
It's only boxing.

- I was there !!!!
- Not really impressed with Ennis.
- The undercard was solid............

Speaking of defense, if Jaron doesn’t improve upon his at the next level he’s going to have repercussions as well and this serious **** too!

I now believe that the person who beats boots is going to be the person who is tough and durable enough to back him up and force him to fight on the back foot much in the same way Simon Brown did to Terry Norris, who’s style Boots reminds me of

Maybe it's those Eastern Europeans like Murtazaliev, Bohachuk, and Madrimov. They seem tough as nails, each in his own way.
So Eddie Hearn - any reason you can't match Boots up with at least one of those guys in his next fight? WW is a lost cause at this point.
If Boots is as good as you say he is, establish that at 154 in his next fight against one of these guys. Surely at least one of them will be available...

Yeah, he doesn't want to get the Shakur or Haney treatment.

If you just beat everybody with pure skills & talent, people say you're boring, if you're Black.

Then, when you open up & try to finish people & get caught a few times, people say you got no defense.

This 1000 percent.

Crawf didn't criticize and Bootsy ducked him twice.
