Jaron Ennis Gets Hit Way Too Much

He's not that good. He hardly fights, has fought mostly B-tier fighters, is a weight bully and has to low blow to win. He's given special privileges and fixes because he's got the American boxing powers backing him.
On top of that, the boots fanboys love to say, "but he beat Villa!"

Who tf is Villa? Seriously, all Villa did was NARROWLY beat Rashidi Ellis, who himself is not that good and hasn't fought since the loss... and Villa's seemingly impressive KO ratio is against laundromat workers and cab drivers. He's lost or looked shaky when he left the domestic Colombian circuit.

 

This is going to age like bagged milk

 

sure, sure, buddy. Ennis is another American hype job.

 

This is what I'm saying. We really don't know how good he really is because the powers that be stack everything in his favor. What happens when he fights someone his size?

 

This thread proves that the boxing community are fans of boxers not boxing. Boots rolls with his punches very well and put defense on the backburner to knock a fighter out he did not respect. What do you guys want

 

> says the boxing community are fans of boxers not boxing
> proceeds to fanboy over a particular boxer

youre projecting, bruv.

 

This has been said and discussed in depth on multiple platforms but there are always his diehards that come in justifying it. I saw Dulorme, Lipinets, Villa, and now Avaneysan touch Boots way too often for me to label his defense anywhere near elite. And vs Avaneysan, he was throwing an abundance of his shots with all his power and Avaneysan was taking them for 4.5 rounds and still coming forward.

He claims he does everything better than Crawford but I've yet to see him adjust and take a different approach. Crawford's IQ is his most dangerous tool in the ring. It's what makes fighters forget how strong, quick, and sharp he is. If Boots has this same skill set....why is he not able to showcase this vs the level of competition he's faced. You shouldn't need a top opponent to show those things.

 

Are you similarly concerned with the frequency with which Bud takes punches? Or Canelo? Or Roberto Duran? Fighters that fight, get hit.

 

Crawford gets hit too much as well. Has he actually faced a "legit" puncher. I don't think so.

 

My point exactly.

 

you picked spence...huh?

 

I think Boots relies too much on his athleticism and reaction time to dodge punches. He sometimes misjudges the distance and doesn’t roll his shoulder far enough to cover his chin too. Boots has a tendency to leave himself squared because of all of his switching, being squared in the Philly shell makes you a sucker for a straight right which is what Ava hit him with far too often. Boots’ inside game also seems to be very lacking, he was the much bigger man against Ava yet still allowed him to walk him back and rough him up. Boots is still young though, so I think he’ll have time to correct some of these issues. Crawford’s defence was just as bad at Boots’ age but he’s improved leaps and bounds since.
