Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis: Everyone Knows I Want Spence, I'll Keep Waiting Until Time is Right

[Lefty0616]

If Spence can some how lure Crawford into a bout, and wins, he should schedule a bout with Ennis immediately afterwards. Ennis is only going to get better. Some of his flaws were actually exposed against Karen last night. This might be the only time possible for Spence to capitalize off of an ever improving Ennis - sort of the science Floyd used in his approach with Canelo (get em now, before he inevitably improves).

100% right cannot believe he is getting so much hype he don't deserve a title shot yet so be patient

———-
Brook, Khan and Avanesyan ALL got title shots against Crawford. You believe they all “deserved” that shot?

[Oregonian]

I don’t understand this idea that somehow boots’ stock has fallen. He was totally dominant in the fight against president hat was clearly a very slick and educated Ukrainian boxer. There will always be fighters you can’t swat out and it was good for boots to get the rounds in for the first time.

———-
It’s mostly casual fans and toxic haters ridiculing Boots.

BOTH T Crawford & V Ortiz put Karen to sleep way before 12th round… Boots pulled the Spence excuse vs Lil Mikey… “I wanted to box all fight”

Yeah, it's strange how "I'm looking for a sensational KO" morphed into "I'm glad it went 12 rounds"??!!

Seems he has no plan B in case that fight doesn't materialize for him. In that case his fight with Karen is his first and last this year.

————
Plan B? Really? Listen to what he says

“… Hats off to him since a lot of guys didn’t want to fight me. So shout out to him for coming here and taking this fight.”

Nobody wants to fight Boots.

[Oregonian]

Spence and crawford will NOT fight boots. They got bigger fish to fry, bigger fights on the horizon. Boots is still the goods.

——-
Other than fighting each other, which other “bigger” fish do Bud and Spence have?

[brettWall]

Straight from the horse's mouth. He will play the waiting game until he gets the...I can't even say Spence is a money fight. But getting a shot at that fight even if he loses is a sensible move for him and his team than getting derailed by some guy a tad better than Karen. I get the point. It just means fans would have to stop talking about him the rest of the year because I don't see him taking any fight other than Spence, who I don't think Haymon would offer.

[Oregonian]

Boots only has a finite time at 147 in account of his size, thats why I don't respect his team wrapping him up in cotton wool, if he fights Spence it will be at 154, as we all know he don't want no Crawford smoke.

———
“We all know” ? … nope, it’s just you and the haters that dislike Spence.
Crawford fought Khan, Brook, and Avanesyan. Next he’ll fight Broner or Ugas so Crawford does not want Spence or Boots.

[Oregonian]

Boots could have made a statement instead of choosing to look silly fighting as a southpaw. Keith Thurman and Vergil Ortiz would be solid match ups to see where Boots really is, right now Spence and Crawford punish Jaron. Karen had Jaron looking confused.

——-
Only an ignoramus casual would say “Karen had Jaron looking confused”! What an obtuse thing to say when Boots outlanded Karen by over 200 punches and won virtually every round. All the judges had the fight 120-108.

To give it context, When Floyd beat Marquez in every round, did Marquez make Floyd confused? Or perhaps Margarito made Pacqiao confused when PAC won every single round?

Fighters are not always going to blow past their competition but I guess the saying is true. “You’re only as good as your last fight.” I too thought that Boots was going to get a stoppage win. He didn’t, but that doesn’t mean he’s overrated. He’s still a skilled fighter that has yet to lose and has tons of potential. This fight, however, might make Spence and Crawford take another look at Ennis and might entice them into a fight. I think Crawford’s the type of fighter that would take the fight with quicker than Spence. Not to say Spence isn’t that type of fighter either, but he’s got more to lose because of his standing with PBC and the three belts.
