How much of a chance do you give Xander Zayas to beat Boots Ennis?

This.

 

i believe the fight will be a closer contest than expected. zayas has a good chance winning this fight. for me it's a coin flip.
i just hope for a good scrap

 

If it is at all close I doubt that Zayas will get a fair shake on the cards

 

Coin flip? Is zayas even better than Madrimov or Stanionis?

 

the kid is pretty good.
whether or not he can beat madrimov or stnionis. i'd like to see those fights to find out.

 

I expect Boots to win but it's not gonna be the biggest upset of all time if he were to lose

 

10-15 % chance...Boots is elite at 154/160

 

It actually would be. Zayas is Shawn Porter level

 

Former World champ Shawn Porter?

Porter was competitive with the entire division during his career and capable of beating the elite

Same guy that was beating Crawford for the majority of their fight

Stop it...

 

Who wants it more ... Zayas is coming to win and so is Boots , but I get the feeling in this fight it was more the case Zayas wanted to fight Boots rather the other way around .

Boots and Ortiz was the focus but when GB done and dirty on Ortiz , Zayas said I will fight him... I love that youthful energy.

This a 50/50 fight both coming to win let's see who wants it more .. Boots is over hyped in my opinion, he does everything good apart from his work rate and footwork is average..

 

Boots average footwork?

 

I think ennis has lots of athletic talent and is elite in that regard. If he has to respect some of zayas' punches he will fight more technically. Also zayas is big and might be able to take ennis' power way better than assumed. Then it is a boxing match which i think zayas could win.

Ennis has good head movement, but mostly when his feet stand still. If zayas stays on the move with the jab and is physically a match for ennis, he has a real chance to win this on Points.

Favorite probably has to be ennis.

But I am biased i guess. I like zayas, he is 23 and does great Interviews. His behavior after his win against baraou was just great and made me a fan. And I was never really impressed with ennis' physical style.

 

One day he will......
