Are we being too harsh on Boots?

[JakeTheBoxer]

I must see him against better opposition. Than I will decide. Fighting somebody like Crowley next would be a good idea.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Just said on the podcast before the fight . Yes.

That or Mike Jones.

Chukhadzhian fought a brilliant fight.

What people are upset about is that Boots got exposed.

Good fighter, flawed. He's got work to do.

There is a huge gap between Mike Jones and Berto.

Berto is two time world champ, he made millions fighting. He was in some big fights.

Mike Jones was a top contender with Top rank, but Bailey finished his career. Jones never achieved anything.

If Ennis is next Berto, good for him.

I’ve said for a while he isn’t ready for Crawford or Spence. Immensely talented but he’s still raw. He needs some seasoning, it should have got it in 2022 but unfortunately he was inactive. I think he’ll learn a lot from last nights fight.

The point is, NSB and others overrated Andre Berto as the next big thing - until he met a guy with the first initial "V", last name Ortiz.

Boots is at high risk of also having the same.

That's the problem with overrating him.

It's not saying he's a bum, he's overrated. Calm down on overrating him. He's got flaws that need to be fixed ASAP before he even thinks about Spence.

I didnt like that boots swung wildly and missed and spun around at least 3 times. Looked amateurish. He needs more experience but hopefully now with that performance the top 3-5 guys wanna fight him.

thurmans ***** ass should step it up. Boots vs Ugas also good

[Smash]

boots couldnt even take a karen out

[sicko]

not really, I think it comes with the Hype so if we're going to run around saying "He Can Beat Spence" "He Can Beat Boots" them yeah when people finally sit down and watch him they're expecting to see him be dynamic every fight but if you been watching boxing long enough and you're mature enough to act your age and can have an Adult Conversation about boxing without your ManFan/Fanboy feelings taking over, then you know that in Boxing and any giving night anything can happen and that also styles make fights. Some styles you look dynamic against, other styles you just won't ever look good against

Boots did not look bad, he just did not look as dominating as other fights but also too he was pushing for the Impressive KO and turned into the Brawler this fight just chasing a guy around for the KO when he should've boxed with him and went to the body more. He Did started catching him more and more down the stretch with some big shots but credit to Karen, showed a great Chin too on top of being able to MATCH Boots Athleticism, actually looked even more Athletic than Boots with some of his moments. Unfortunately Karen and very LUCKLY for Boots, Karen didn't have much Offense to go with that Slickness

[Bullrider]

Let's not kid ourselves. If this is GGG with that kind of record, we'll have hate threads every minute about him. In GGG's time there's not a lot of good options other than to move up. This Ennis fellow got lots of options, yet keep on cherry picking fights that are Clayton types.

[LA_2_Vegas]

I already told myself I wasn't going to hold it against him if he had to go 12rds in the next couple fights because that's what he needed IMO, more live rounds.

I didn't care how it looked, I just wanted to see him get the rounds which he did.

Go back and work on some things and come back and look better next time.

- - Bootsy's boots still need more break in.
