from a strategic point of view it makes sense for Boots to stay at 147 - let the cats there beat the crap out of each other then move up when it's a bit easier - but that's not what boxing is about - and will be an asterisk on Ennis' legacy even if he does get titles at 154 and 160 as well
So Israil Madrimov beats and stops Ortiz, taking the shine off a potential no smoke fight, some fighters like madrimov want the smoke, ennis is his own worse enemy

Legacy? Are you crazy man? Ortiz never won a belt. Nothing going on in 154 affects Boots legacy.
The more Boots and his team talk the more is looks like he ducked Ortiz. They will need a Madison Avenue public relations firm and a gaggle of Philadelphi lawyers to make the stink of this move go away.
