I'm sure Ennis will get criticized because he got hit too much. But, he seems to stay relaxed under fire and tries to roll oncoming punches. I love that Ennis tries to throw combo head-body counters, which makes him unpredictable. His explosive and dynamic offense is his defense. He has a high-risk style that is very pleasing to watch. I want Ennis vs. Norman.
I would still like to see him vs Norman Jr if the latter has the appetite for that smoke. Barrios feels like he's just a caretaker for the belt.
That would be competitive ; Boots vs Norman
Weak division he will beat the other 2 champs easily. Needs to move up to 154

Utter dominance by Boots Ennis, Stanionis just didn't have the punching power to keep up even if he had good precision.
Jaron's tactic of creating distance and catching him with uppercuts whenever Stan missed or landed something with nothing much behind, the body shots by Boots was also pretty affective.
Think this is the first active world champion he beat who is pretty experienced and he did so in quite a fashion.
Stanionis was getting beaten up pretty bad there, but that felt a little fast from his corner, since his style is to be the tough guy trying to walk thru the fire. Thought he'd go out on his shield, but hey, he's got a little one on the way. Good to have your health for that moment, rather than getting knocked out.
Damn boots is sharp, got some wing on his punches. Hope he goes to 54 asap doesn’t look to be any challenges here… unless Garcia can take out Haney again that’d be good theatre
Congrats to Boots. Good performance.
Would be nice is Norman - Barrios happened while Boots fights Giyasov and then all the belts unified in early 2026
He's fading and the writing appears to be on the wall. This is Boots' fight to lose at this point....
Never mind....they just waved it off.
