    You'd imagine Ennis would have a high ranking with the IBF when he moves up. Who've you got?

    I'm going against the grain. Ennis is special. He will be too dynamic for Murtazaliev and he's one of the only guys who can outjab him. UD

    That murderous left hook that is a big weapon for Murderzaliev tho, Ennis has to box him

    Murtazaliev is an interior decorator he took out Tim Tszyu single handed.
    Ennis would be wise to test the waters at 154 before getting in there with Murtazaliev.

    Murtazaliev will understandably come in as the favourite and as the more dangerous fighter. But, I feel that Ennis's style is a very tricky one for Murtazaliev - I think Ennis can outbox Murtazaliev and pull this one off.

    Ennis close points win.

    Let him fight Tszyu first. I'd favour Tszyu, though he isn't the biggest puncher so at least Boots has a chance to be competitive as he tests the waters at 154. He needs some humbling fights to develop his game before he steps up to the killers of 154.

    Dude is 27 years old. He is in his prime and his Pops said making weight is hard. Boots clearly has frame for larger weights...just move up alrdy.

    Murtazaliev prolly stops him. I like Ennis well enough but I feel like his downfall will come from his lack of head movement. Getting countered when you go in with your own work is one thing, but I've seen him get tagged just standing there by stuff he really oughta have been able to get out of the way of. Murtazaliev ain't the kinda guy you wanna be getting hit by too much, and he's certainly not the person you want to have in front of you when realizing "Maybe I really should have worked on my head movement."

    I'd pick Murtazaliev by a midrounds stoppage.

    They’ll have to see Murtazaliev vulnerable before any of them attempt to fight him. I don’t see any of them lining up to fight him after the Tszyu fight. I think Boots would beat him but Boots handlers don’t believe it’s worth the risk to find out.

    I think Ennis for all his talent and success so far, I think he will become a Zab Judah 2, he has a poor defence and gets hit too much. This fight could be like Tszyu-Judah.
