Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis Forced To Go Distance, Bags Lopsided Decision Over Karen Chukhadzhian

[Oregonian]

Mosley by his 5th year as a pro fought for a title in the summer of 97. Shakur has beaten top 10 fighters TOP fighters in which others claimed he would be challenged. bud's 6th year he fought Gamboa. It's 2023 and Boots turned pro in 2016. Ortiz is fighting Staniois in his 7th year(Finally a top 10 guy). Boots has fought no one. Why is that so hard to understand?

Why is it so hard to understand that everyone is afraid of Boots?
Shakur benefits from being a silver medalist Olympian and has uncle Bob that got him fights. I’m not dismissing your points.
Boots ranks higher than Avanesyan yet Crawford ducked him.
Crawford fought Khan and Brooks; both irrelevant at 147. He then goes on to fight Porter who had lost to Spence (even though he had a win against some journeyman).
Why isn’t Crawford fighting anyone relevant at 147? Same resume as 140.

Does ESJ fight like that? Would he fight like that; Like Karen Chukhadzhian? No! He is gonna bring ass in order to get ass. Unfortunately, Chukhadzhian did not do that in this fight.

Karen landed quite frequently on Boot's face. But he lacks power.

Spence landing the same punches means Boots doesn't see the 12th round.

With all things being equal: I thought Boots fought a good fight under the circumstances. He was in there with a guy who just simply refused to try to take any risks. I wonder what the Hell were Team Chukhadzhian thinking?

This was a title elimination bout. They must have known they weren't going to win the fight on the judges scorecards by constantly moving around the ring without engaging Ennis.

Karen didn't come to win. He just came to survive. He should have forfeited the bout.

Sounds like you're who Uncle Roger was referring to.

Chukhadzhian had one game plan: do whatever you need to do to keep Boots right in the center of the ring.

That removes Boot's trap capability.

Take that away and as you saw, he's just another fighter, and frankly, his power may not be all that either, because despite landing flush, he couldn't even drop Karen.

Chukhadzhian fought perfectly for the opponent, but like Formella, he had no power to keep Boots off.

You just wanted him to follow the script and get knocked out. Nope. Boots needed more rounds of experience.

We now know that he slows down after round 7.
We still know that he eats punches flush.

He's a sitting duck for a skilled mover with power. Which is exactly what Spence demonstrated with Ugas.

Boots tried too hard & as a result looked flat against a very tricky solid boxer who showed good awareness. Boots missed & got hit a bit much here

[adeathnote]

Sorry. Karen is a low to mid-tier boxer. I’ve never seen a guy be 30-0 and have only like 5 opponents even have Wikipedia pages.

Think is safe to say boots might be bit overrated for what hes accomplished so far,he promised to get pillow fists karen outta there ,not even close. Right now he gets beaten by bud ,Spence and ortiz undoubtedly.

Bad look when you go with a Karen...

[Sctrojan]

Most of these comments are bashing boots. I’ve never seen a fighter get bashed after completely dominating a fight. You guys are such prisoners of the moment lol. Karen came in to survive and last 12 rounds. That’s it. Boots is still a stud and would pose problems to any of the top guys.

most people don’t know shiet about boxing! -Roger mayweather. RIP

Sure you have,it happened when Tagoe took Ryan the distance. Boots did a poor job of cutting of the ring though.

There were a little more opportunities for Vergil against McKinson but look at the vast difference in the ability to cut the ring off and break an mover down to the body. Ennis isn't that difficult to counter either,Dulorme,Lipinets and now Karen have shown he's not that difficult to time either.

The kids hype exceeded his abilities but this is will help him develop no doubt but the train did lose some steam last night.

Ortiz > Ennis.....

[Rigpig]

All the people praising Ortiz he only has 19 fights and his best win is mean machine other than that a bunch of no names so if boots is over rated so is Ortiz. I’d say they’re both good fighters but both could use a step up in competition.

Spence smokes this dude. Crawford dances circles around and then smokes this dude. Crawfords a better dancer than Karen and Spence has more dog in him and much more focus in the ring than Boots.
