Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis Promoter on Favoring Ennis Over Terence Crawford

How does Crawford have a shaky chin I thinks that’s a lie he never been knocked out he’s been hurt like twice his whole career and that makes him chinny smh

I don't think he has a bad chin but getting hurt by gamboa isn't a great sign. That was at 135 so it is reasonable to think that a decent punching welter could catch him and hurt him badly.

He is much more likely to get a shot being ibf mandatory as opposed to wbo. First off, ortiz is number one wbo contender and it isn't likely that ennis will be able to leap frog him. Second, josh taylor can very easily decide to move and he will automatically be the wbo mandatory. Third, Boots fights on showtime which is also where spence fights so it would be a much more makeable fight in theory. All that said, spence isn't going to fight him either

I understand why, but if hes so confident, he should petition the wbo or AT LEAST make an offer to Bud since Crawf fullfilled his mando beating Porter, he can make an optional defense. Im sure Bud WILL take it if the money offered is right.

He'll be ready in 3 or 4 more fights when Bud will be 37 years old? Nobody will care if you beat up an old man.

Gamboa had very fast hands, and was a puncher. Even though he was fighting 9 pounds over his weight.

Its going to be interesting at 147 the next two years

I hope so, the table is set but I’m getting used to to being disappointed.

Spence/Crawford/Ennis and Ortiz, it Would be nice if these 4 mixed it up while Spence and Crawford are in or near prime.

Look how he reacts when he gets hit. A few times when Porter connected it got more than his attention.

I'd give Spence a better shot against boots than bud for one specific reason. Spence is an old school fighter. He can grind and switch up his style to get the job done. With Boots speed and athleticism, you better be able to cover up, work the body and switch your work rate a lot. You can't wait for boots to give you openings. He will pick you apart. You have to do what Duran did to SRL. Go at him in a measured but consistent pace. No time to rest and smother all those explosive combinations. Keep touching him and backing him up. Tie him up, fight out of the clinch (Mayweather vs Cotto style) and try to rough him up.

That's not Bud. Bud is a technician with a real mean streak. He is Lazer accurate and real sneaky with his counters. But he has that mean streak which is a real detriment when you're fighting a guy that looks a lot like Roy Jones when he has it all working. Getting into exchanges and being determined to counter punch and go to war with a young lion is a good way to get clipped. Boots counters will be a little bit faster than buds and his size and power must be respected. Bud will need to temper that mean streak and just box at times. If he uses his footwork and stays focused on his defense he could get it done. But that's not crawford. He wants to kill his prey instead of stalking it and being patient. He also can't start slow. You give that young man some confidence and it's a wrap.
