    Call me crazy, but Rico probably takes this.

    Don’t know but either way, it is a knockout. One of these two, or both, are hitting the canvas hard.

    Rocked by Xander Zayas, yet you're unsure of how to call a match-up between Boots and the biggest puncher of all time. Lol.

    This is not a hard fight to predict. I like Boots, but he's extremely hittable.

    Jackson flattens him.

    Looks similar to the Graham fight. Boots outboxes him and hurts him a few times, gets too aggressive and is caught with something big and put out.

    It'd be over much quicker. Graham had far better defensive reflexes than Ennis. Moreover, that fight was at 160. This would be at 154, where Jackson was a better fighter. Jackson actually had better technical skills than Ennis, before he fell in love with his power.

    very few fighter who go head-to-head could sustain Julian Jacksons power. I respect Boots and he may be a potential ATG, but he trades and gets hit - as of now Jackson by KO

    Imo it would look more like Terry Norris vs Jackson. Boots would outbox with his skill and reflexes in the opening rounds, lands some flashy power shots here and there. Then gets careless for a second, and it's lights out.

    Ennis knocks him out most likely

    You aren't giving him enough credit for beating Zayas. My friend fought Zayas and said he was the best he ever fought. Granted, my friend was 2-17 as a pro and was knocked out in 55 seconds and he can't really remember much about the fight but still...
