Nothings changed. It's only in this forum that Ennis vs Karen is controversial. He still smashes every welterweight on the planet.
He definitely gets hit way too much but he appears to have a good chin, great punch resistance so far. Honestly it makes the fights more intriguing and entertaining. He eats flush shots so frequently it adds an air of danger to the bout that wouldn't be there if he was more defensively sound. People also have to realize Chukhadzian was showcasing some top shelf boxing skills. Walking Ennis down. Timing him immediately starting in round one. Standing in and punching when Ennis punched(when was the last time we saw a guy do that when at the athletic disadvantage?) Great footwork and angles. He took chances and tried to win. The Spence from the Ugas and Crawford fights doesn't beat the Chukhadzian from last night
It was a good call thanks for acknowledging. Chukhadzhian himself agrees with me that Ennis will be a great champion and this is after Boots beat him twice, I trust his words
Ya cause Karen is an ATG...pls be serious. Boots is a good fighter and has potential to be a great in his era, but it would be surprising to see him achieve ATG status. Cant stand the cult following dude has developed fighting cab drivers and construction workers. Hes not 22, hes 27 or 28 with over 30 fights. Tell him to STEP UP
Who is he supposed to fight genius ? The champs turned down every offer and Karen was mandatory. That's why he's moving up to 154 and looking for big names. You are searching for things to complain about
There’s a ton of discourse on Instagram and YouTube currently about it so there may be more controversy than just this forum.
Crawford already said he wasn't looking in that direction. Brian Norman Jr ducked a career high payday of 2 million to fight Ennis. This stuff already happened, Boots is avoiding no one
They're saying Karen had way more success than they thought but I don't see many people crying robbery. Karen made planty of new fans, I saw a common scorecard of 114-112 Ennis
Bozy Ennis - Jason's literal father and trainer - said they were "loyal to Showtime" as rationale for not fighting Bud in 2022 on BLK Prime. This content is protected This content is protected Bozy Ennis makes it clear Jaron could have fought Bud in 2023. They didnt want to fight on BLK Prime and instead continued fighting TBA opponents. Brian Norman Jr was lowballed and so Boots fought an old TBA opponent and looked very ordinary. All because Boots didnt wanna pay $500k lmao [url]https://www.si.com/fannation/boxing/wbo-welterweight-champion-brian-norman-jr-out-of-november-8th-title-defense-01j97g0rhrec[/url] You can defend it all you want but Boots on some nut **** and I'm less convinced today than I was 1 year ago about his ability or seriousness in the game.
Ennis deserved the win but it was close. Chad did really well, but Ennis hit harder got the KDs and was on the front foot. Chad is ag ood fighter though and Ennis lacks even basic defence at times.
Look who Boots is with now. Eddie Hearn. He's not with Showtime anymore, so as far as I'm concerned it's irrelevant. The fight can be made now if Crawford were interested, but Crawford already said he's not trying to fight Ennis, he wants to cash out against Canelo. This content is protected Nobody is saying Crawford is scared far from it and I'd favor Crawford now You defending Norman while criticizing Boots is complete nonesense. Brian Norman was offered 3 times. Norman kept changing the goal post and the price was raised all the way to about 2 million which would've been 10× Norman's highest payday ever. Brian continued to price himself out until Jarons promotion gave up. Why avoid a unification fight that pays 10× the amount you've ever gotten ? I know why ! Because Ennis has already smashed Norman in sparring [url]https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-jaron-boots-ennis-gives-harsh-reality-check-to-brian-norman-jr-as-fight-negotiations-halt-after-two-million-two-hundred-thousand-dollars-demand/[/url]
