    Boots DESTROYS Man Machine faster than Ortiz and Bud did honestly, I really don't need to see that

    Would rather Boots vs a Jamal James, Abel Ramos, Kudratillo Abduqaxorov, David Avanesyan...NOT Mean Machine coming off of a Lose

      Until he clips one of these dudes and they don't respond like Bud or Vergil do. I don't think Mean Machine's stock has dropped much despite the losses.

      Egis will get more fights because 1) he accepts them, 2) he makes for entertaining fights, 3) he will offers a certain type of challenge that also allows his opponent an opportunity to look good.

      He caught both Bud and Vergil early and was relatively competitive until he wasn't and his opponent got the glory of the stoppage. Because of how the fights unfolded, the winners probably received more buzz than if they blew him out or dominated him over the distance.

        I think the best realistic fight for Boots next is Abdukakharov, he doesn't have the name recognition Mean Machine has but he's the IBF #1 and ranked in the top 10 by sanctioning body. A Boots win against him would slot him in as the IBF mandatory which is his best bet to getting a big fight.

            He said on IG he's supposed to be fighting in September, so hopefully this will all be sorted out soon.

              No. Especially after a KO loss. Why not Keith Thurman or Mikey Garcia?
