I'll probably go to this if that's the case. Saw Zayas win his title this past summer at MSG. It'll be nice to see him defend it. Should be a good East Coast fight crowd with the Philly fans coming up. I favor Ennis by stoppage but who knows
So what? The man is being avoided much like how shakur was being avoided earlier yet when zepeda stepped up he got that work and so did teo. When guys stop ducking ennis they will get that work to you will see this when he fights zayas.
Good to see these two go at it. So what stops Ortiz from fighting Fundora now? Boots/Zayas. Fundora/Ortiz. Winner fight each other next.
Boots Ennis ducked Bud Crawford in December, 2022. Boots also ducked Teofimo Lopez in Summer/Fall, 2025. Hell, Boots tried to be cheap with Brian Norman Jr. and missed out on that fight too. This is like Peter Quillin or Julian Williams all over again.
Boots never ducked Bud. Boots was never offered a fight by Lopez and Norman turned down career 3 high paydays from Ennis team. Thankfully we've seen Ortiz duck Boots in full force after you wrongly claimed Ennis was the one running
Its called RECEIPTS. Learn how to use them: Espinoza claims BLKPRM offer for Bud v Boots was too low (acknowledging it was real): https://3kingsboxing.com/espinoza-talks-blk-prime-crawford-vs-ennis/ Bozy Ennis confirms negotiations took place but Bozy turned the fight down because they were "loyal to Showtime": https://3kingsboxing.com/team-ennis-loyalty-showtime-rejects-blk/ Boots was offered the fight in December, 2022, at a time when Boots was clamoring and begging for a title shot. When he was finally offered the fight, he avoided it and kept fighting unknown journeymen which has pretty much been his entire career so far. A 30 year old prospect. Here's Eddie Hearn, Jaron's new Daddy after Espinoza, saying negotiations for Teofimo ongoing for August, 2025: https://en.as.com/other_sports/teof...ent-fights-with-a-locker-of-belts-at-stake-n/ Here's Teo clowning Boots for ducking: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ot...val-with-fight-ducking-accusation/ar-AA1FIlBk Are you noticing any patterns? How would a career 135'er move up to fight Teo without exuses? IDK but Here's Shakur clowning Boots for being a baby and needing another journeyman tune-up after a 30 fight career of tuneups: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2025/1...nt-need-tune-ups-before-facing-teofimo-lopez/ Maybe, but it wasnt so black and white. Norman agreed to the offered $1.7m but then Boots and Hearn demanded the fight to take place in Philly. Naturally, Norman were a bit worried about home bias so they countered with Vegas which Hearn and Boots rejected. So Norman asked for an additional $500k and Boots went back to fighting Uber drivers. Doesn't look like Ortiz ducked at all. Hes literally being sued by DLH and GBP for trying to make the Ennis fight for breach of contract. In fact, precisely because Ortiz wanted the fight and tried to make the fight is why hes being sued. Boots continues to duck everyone in full force. Zayas is a major step up for him and I'm proud that, at 33 years old, Ennis is finally upping his competition.
I already owned you last time you tried this. It was 2023 not 2022 and Bud was also in negotiations with Spence around the same time, and Espinoza would prioritize undisputed over this fight. If we rely on statements from Espinoza just like you have done it says in your own source Boots was signed to showtime and Espinoza said BLK Prime was not signed to Crawford during these negotiations which made things more questionable not to mention he said they didn't bring much to the table, refused to negotiate with Showtime and believes neither fighter turned it down. Teo never fought at 140 and had nothing that Boots wanted to buy aka Undisputed. Negotiations don't mean an official deal has been reached or sent as a final draft contract but even so Boots was planning on moving up after Stanionis if he couldn't get the other champions because he was getting too big for 147, and 154 had a better talent pool anyway. Boots would be testing himself harder by fighting all the top guys at 154 which is what he's trying to do now This content is protected Norman asked for them to up the offer twice before and they did. Norman never agreed to anything there is nothing suggesting that he agreed to anything, he priced himself out pf a career high payday 3 times stop the biased sugar coating. Yes, Xander is a unified champion, someone Fundora also ducked. Ortiz hasn't fought anyone as good as Zayas and went through that elaborate De La Hoya situation to duck Boots again just like at 147. We see how great Bohachuk turned out to be. Lost to Adams twice and struggled with Mykal Fox and Butaev, the same Butaev Stanionis beat LOL. Boots is going to wash Ortiz
Literally everything you said ignored all the sources and evidence I posted. The reason you think you "owned" me was because I realized I was wasting my time. No sense in going back and forth with someone who disregards contradictory evidence. Bud offered Boots a fight. Boots own father said there was no contract. Boots passed on the fight. And - you are wrong - it was 2022, not 2023. Prior to Boots being offered the fight Bud was in negotiations with Spence which failed because Bud wanted 50/50 split. Bud did not budge and beat the breaks off Avanyesan instead since he was the only one who would step up. Next summer, July, 2023, Bud got a 50/50 split and beat the brakes off Spence. All of that happened at a time when Boots said he wanted a belt, but Boots words and actions contradicted themselves. He actively worked to NOT take tough fights and was left out of big money fights. Bud and Spence unified a few months later and Boots was left in the dust, confused what happened. Teo brings superstardom to the table and Boots doesnt. Boots needs a marquee opponent and at 35 fights he has zero marquee opponents - this is almost Wilder level cherrypicking. We just need Boots to say he "bet on himself" lmao. It takes money to make money. Why demand the fight be in Phila? Why not neutral Vegas? If not, why not just give the $500k? You make excuses like youre part of the kids camp, but youre not. Ortiz will end this kid
Stop it this is completely false Ennis was officially signed with Showtime by may 2022 and was still signed by early 2023, you don't know what happened considering BLK prime wasn't even signed with Crawford. Both sides were looking to put something together but negotiations fell through because of misunderstandings and a bit of ego, your own source highlights the contradictory information. Nobody ducked here, except Ortiz, he knows Boots is the terminator
