A guy that Ennis doesn't have to chase after, doesn't have to try and cut the ring off, well suited for him.
A ko or lopsided decision, if the fight happens.
Well, can't believe it's november already. What were highlights? I think of Bivol and Beterbiev, Garcia battering Haney, and Fury-Usyk. A rematch to look forward to later.
Inoue as dominant as always. Tank impressive.
The guy who got the most attention, not a top level boxer, but what a marketer, Jake Paul, breaking the bank.Last edited by Liondw; 11-28-2024, 05:35 AM.pnut901 likes this.

This has been one of the most anticipated American fights in quite some time. This embodies most of what American boxing is about. Young black vs young Mex-Amer. The winner goes on to superstardom and the loser is a pariah in their community. This should be a headliner in Vegas or LA. No doubt Oscar and PBC would want this on PPV. Although I would like to see it on Prime I understand the business of boxing. To have this fight in Saudi will do great harm to our sport.

1/ Who cares about the business of boxing? It will and always has taken care of itself.
2/ boxers have a shelf-life and the 'old way' saw fighters avoid the defining fights until past their prime.
3/ You forgot to mention that the 5x5 was stuffed with American fighters :- Raymond Ford, Ammo William and Wilder. All in competitive fights where we found out how they would fare when evenly matched.
4/ We saw a tremendous fight between Bakole and Anderson in LA - at some point Anderson had to step outside his comfort zone - he can still come back, ditto Ford and Williams.
Of course, we could have just seen Anderson on another PBC card vs an Ajagba level fighter. Sounds like that's what you prefer.

Just read the following on another site ...
"Eddie Hearn, whose Matchroom Boxing promotes Ennis, told Boxing News’ Andi Purewal on Tuesday that talks are “progressing” for Philadelphia’s Ennis to oppose Ortiz, of Grand Prairie, Texas.
Hearn added, though, that Ennis’ team is still considering 147-pound championship unification fights for his first appearance of 2025. A decision on Ennis’ next fight could be made by the end of this week, according to Hearn."
... so it means nothing is official and we all might be getting excited too soon.
