If this keeps up, Princess Ennis is gonna end up falling off her royal carriage soon.

Props to Xander. I think Ortiz knocks him out, but that is why it is a fun sport.....when guys actually fight challenges they can gain more respect in a well fought loss than beating cans.

Xander has looked mediocre against poor comp at times. Maybe he will fight up to the level of his opponent.

This is an interesting development. I guess that we will see if Zander ready for the big leagues.
On the Boots thing. Plenty of fighters have fought at a higher weight class and maintained their titles in a different weight , so I'm not buying that excuse. I'm starting to believe that maybe Boots is smoke and mirrors. Dude says no to fights then cries about nobody wanting to fight him. I smell something a little fishy emanating from the Boots camp. Smells like a mix of bullshlt and pu ssy.

This is fine - Xayas is a hypejob that Arum has been using to fill rooms in NYC with PR fans. An absolute scam - kid has no power and is easy to hit.

If the Saudi money is there, may as well go ahead and cash him in.

Ortiz Jr inside three.

I mean Lamont Roach is doing the same thing against Tank. He gets to keep his 130 title even if he loses and if he *cough* wins *cough* only then he needs to choose whether he keeps the 135 belt or goes back to 130.

You a fighter and you fight for that bag. All good by me.

A little too soon for Zayas IMO but F$&& it! All we been asking for is to step up! Well, there we have it! If he wants it who are we to tell him he ain’t ready!

Right on man , I admire him for taking on the challenge. This fight has the potential to be a huge step forward in his career , even if he loses but fights well.

"Everybody knows that Bud is begging Turki..." , "Freaking Virgil could easily make 147..." What bleeping planet are you from?

I'm really hoping that the comment in question is sarcasm because it sounds like something that you'd see on The Onion.

LarryMerchant'sBottle , Say it ain't so bro ! Did Eddie Hearn slip you a roofie ?

Yup! Damn you Oscar and your $$exxxxy thong for keeping Virgil from fighting Boots and Bud. Everybody knows that Bud is begging Turki to make Bud-Virgil happen but Oscar's advising Virgil to ask for way too much $$$$$.

As for Boots, he's just too small to make 154. Freaking Virgil could easily make 147, but Oscar would rather try and drag a guy up who couldn't weigh 154 with rocks in his speedos.....

You ain't fooling anyone Oscar![/QUOTE
