Are we being too harsh on Boots?

[Combat Talk Radio]

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.

That's literally all it is.

Chukhadzhian exposed flaws. Boots needed the rounds. That's why NSB didn't see the flaws. He's never fought someone smart enough not to fall into the trap until now.

[Roadblock]

Hard to look impressive against a guy entirely on his bike the entire night trying to just make it all 12. Boots should’ve had an answer for that by cutting the ring but he still win 10-11 rounds in a “lackluster” performance.

Well look at Inoues last fight, it was the same maybe even more of a running opponent yet for me I could still see the greatness in Inoue who got his man out of there, Ennis showed his footwork is a little slow and that's why he couldn't catch him man. But on saying that he needed this to bring him back to earth and shrink the head a little bit, still a very talented fighter and its a different fight if you stand in front of him, he was getting to much hype for beating cans, that might settle down now, right now I think Spence and TC beat him.

Lmao lmao the booty ennis PR team in effect. Some are missing though

wheres that @organiam or whatever that idiots name saying that Crawford was ducking booty. Booty struggled hard with a cherrypick lmao

[Lupara]

Inactivity kills

Whatever criticism he gets is mild compared to other fighters. It is also justified. 31 fights with no notable opponents is just not something to brush aside. Just imagine a different fighter his apologists love to hate. He would have been toasted at 20th fight and made to account for every single one of them. Even the way he fought Karen. If that was the guy they hate we would have long running threads about not being able to cut the ring off..

how can we be too hard on a fighter for talking about his flaws in his 7th year as a pro with 30 fights? Why is it our fault that in an era that most people finish their careers with 45-50 fights, he's already fought 60% of that and accomplished absolutely nothing? his fanbase has their head up his azz so far that most of them aren't even aware he's in his 7th year as a professional. I debated one of them about this on a panel until they actually googled it to see that he's been a professional for 6 goddamn years and done NOTHING. In 3 months, Ennis will have been a pro for 7 whole years. That's almost a decade. The last 20 years, you can't find a fighter that has squandered damn near a decade of their career doing nothing but waiting on a payday. Even Andrade won one of the many titles.

It's hard to look good against an opponent with good defense that only wants to survive

Karen didn't even try to win, his only goal was to not get KTFO. Boots still won comfortably

this is the kind of fear Boots instills on his opponents, no wonder he's ducked by Crawford, Spence , Thurman and everyone else with a name

This would make sense if Karen wasn't actually landing punches too. haha. Yea he lost a lopsided decision, but did you want a man with no power to just stand and trade with someone he can't hurt?

[MulaKO]

He’s getting a bad rap cause of all the chit he talked about
Saying that he’s the best fighter out there
Saying he’ll beat Spence , Bud and how avoided he is
Then you got his old man , Bozy , criticizing everyone and anything
Only fair that people are chitting on him now
When your laying it out you gotta be willing to take on the chin also

[KillaMane26]

Yes but this what happens when fans over hype and crown you before you deserve the crown. Cough(Loma)
