    Rolly is now the sole (yuck) champion. The rematch between Crocker and Donovan will probably for the other vacant belt (yuck as well). The landscape in welterweight is pretty if these guys are champs.

    At least 154 is great. Ennis against any of the top fighters will be awesome. :chuck:

    Good - he'll now be fighting people closer to his own size.

    Hearn said Ennis will return in August / September. He said that “His Excellency” wanted to make Ennis vs Ortiz Jr but Ortiz won’t be ready by August.

    Vacant IBF belt will be contested between Crocker and Donovan in the rematch. Vacant WBA belt will probably be between Romero and Giyasov??

    Rolly will upgraded to sole champion, I think. Now will Uncle Al let him face Giyasov? Probably not. Haymon is tight with the WBA, so unless Giyasov crosses the street or the Saudis throw a ton of money, Giyasov may have to wait for his shot. Which sucks, cause he is pretty good and Rolly is wet diarrhea.

    Beat Canelo or not, I hope Crawford takes on Ennis after this one.

    Seems like Ennis could fight Bohachuk in September next in Philadelphia in his debut at 154 before fighting Ortiz Jr (who will be full world champion by then) on a Saudi-backed card in 2026.

    These giant weight bullies can only make weight for so long he will even be big at 154.

    Enis picked up some bad habits from fighting smaller guys. His defense has looked average cause he was able to take the punches.

    That would be a superfight at 154. That's high on my list of fights I want to see.

    Pleass God no. Bud has only a fight or two left. Please dont waste it on this wannabe ducking bum.

    Would MUCH RATHER SEE. Vergil Ortiz Jr and/or Murderzaliev and/or even Fundora over Ennis who cant fight Bud, Vergil, Brian Norman, Teo, etc.

    I always favored Ortiz over boots, even though he hasn’t looked as formidable as he looked at 147. Now I get to see if I was right.
    If PAC wins his next fight, boots probably stays at welterweight. But that’s a very long shot.

    Doubtful. They'll put the Light Heavyweight Booty Anus in with a blown Welterweight, surely.

    He’s fighting against Bohachuk next in Philadelphia in September apparently. Perfect debut opponent for 154.

    His team must think he's compromised going off his last performance.
