Any possibility of Crawford vs Ennis happening this year?

[tomhawq]

This is the perfect time for this fight to happen. Why? They're both available. Spence is fighting Thurman.

If this fight is not made now, it will never happen.

Hate to repeat it, but Jaron "Boots" Ennis needs to enforce his mandatory spot on the WBO title by filing a petition and force a purse bid. This guy needs to be proactive and stop being passive.

[al-Xander]

What are the exact reasons why this fight can't happen? Why is WBO not ordering this fight when both fighters are available?

[El_Mero]

Only chance I see is if Boots/Showtime/Ratfink Espiniza make an offer. Afterall, Ennis is the one with the exclusive contract......boots in now ibf interim holder too.

I have zero faith in any good fights at the WW division.

[al-Xander]

Only way this fight can at least move an inch is if the WBO orders the fight. Jaron "Boots" Ennis got a number 2 spot on the WBO ranking, but won't exercise that right. He barks when fights are already made. Few months ago he's so sure of beating Crawford saying he'll take the fight in a hearbeat. Now that Crawford is freely available, he stopped barking. He could at least get mad why they're making him so inactive.

[al-Xander]

This fight has no chance of happening despite both of them being available.

Jaron "Boots" Ennis closed all doors by dropping out of the WBO mandatory spot. It's clear he wants nothing to do with Terence "Bud" Crawford. Well, not at this time anyways. It shattered all his claims of wanting the fight "in a heartbeat."

I like Ennis but he was EXPOSED in his last fight. His people never let him in their with either Spence or Crawford. Maybe in 2-3 years if he improves.

Ennis made sure the Crawford fight won't happen by dropping out of the WBO rankings. He's low priority to Spence, who would most likely resurrect the Crawford negotiations after the Thurman fight. All these things will take time, which is why Boots is basically playing waiting game.

It's not clear when the 120 days countdown from IBF's order for Spence to decide began or will begin. Is it after the Thurman fight?

Either way, Spence will most likely vacate and the vacant title will be contested between Ennis and some unknown individual.
