    It was really REALLY like graphic looking at the weighin! Lol Then during the fight I was like “This hype job ennis needs to be fighting two weight classes bigger than this!”

    I’d bet ennis was 15/20lbs bigger tonight than Stanionis. No joke.

    I dropped that particular phrase in this thread, and honestly I think the cynics such as yourself have a point. I was trying hard not to hate on the American A side for once in my life.

    Sure, I gave Stanionis a chance, mostly because Ennis looked terrible in his last outing. But that was also before I saw the size disparity. So let's cut the ****. That was a massive LMW power puncher (who got tagged way too much) vs. a come forward T-Rex armed featherfist, who's fought twice since 2021 (thrice if you count the appendicitis), against two guys who are also allergic to being active fighters, who don't go to the body very much. It's the reason why I picked Vergil Ortiz to stop him three times.

    Pointing out a fact that somebody is bigger than someone else isn’t really an excuses it’s a fact.

    Butaev got robbed against Alexander Besputin and has long been on a lot of people's radar, including mine and @CST80's.

    Maestre was a huge amateur star for Venezuela. Hasn't been as successful in the pros, but I mean - he did win an interim world title in just his 4th bout.

    I think the older, inactive and smaller Crawford would have had a better showing against Staniosis than Ennis just had.

    That being said I dont want to be overly critical and negative... I was just genuinely surprised this is the guy Ive been hearing is the truth for so long. He looks good but hes not on the special level, imo. Just a slightly better version of your typical talented american boxer, but gets hit more.

    That being said this is just one fight and theres more to a fighter than one performance. But again just was surprised thats all.

    I look forward to seeing him in bigger fights with better fighters.

    I don't think you understand how much of a mental game boxing is. It's easy to disregard your health if you have nothing to lose. When you have a baby due any minute then you have different priorities. The corner was quick on the trigger to pull the plug, with no complaints from Stanionis.
    I just watched the fight, there was nothing Boots did so well that would cause the guy from the Butaev fight to quit. Boots had one good round, and that was it. Boots isn't skilled or powerful, he has athleticism and size.

    The banner ad behind the pundits at ringside keeps changing from OnlyFans to DraftKings to AutoZone. That is pretty quintessentially American - smut, gambling, and cars. :sisi1
