Still no scheduled fight for Jaron "Boots" Ennis yet?

[QueensburyRules]

So what's the update here, is Ennis still waiting for Spence to give up his IBF belt and hand it over to Boots? Any clarification for this?

- - Bootsie waiting for Godot to tell him what to do...only in boxing, folks...

It's a long waiting game for Jaron Boots. There seems to be no end in sight. He's still not ready for prime time.

now that spence is fighting crawford

hahahaha

[rickJen]

Nothing is straightforward in this sport. Eye test is there, availability of opponents, premiere network backing, yet fans have still nothing to look forward to from the Boots camp. Unbelievable.

Fight Villa the guy who beat Rashidi

[al-Xander]

hahahaha

Hilarious isn't it?

Showtime/PBC have done a terrible job with Boots.

Not been active enough, not been matched well.

None of them have been active at pbc/showtime.

I can't remember the last time any of the top dogs over there fought twice in a year.


I guess Tank is breaking the cycle next month with his 2nd fight in the same year

I think the inactivity is one reason why he isn't further along in his development. His momentum is so stop-and-start, which means SHO can't build him into a star that the Thurmans and Spences of the world would actually need/want to fight. SHO/Ennis should be on the HBO-GGG formula, fighting 3-4 times a year and gradually building a following until he can no longer be ignored. In my theory, everyone would be yelling for Spence to fight Ennis or drop the belt.

Showtime to broke for that right now. Maybe after the merger

For an established star fighting once a year isn’t too worrying, it’s far from ideal but I can understand why it happens.

However, for a rising prospect/contender it’s inexcusable, Boots should be fighting at least twice but ideally 3-4 times a year.

It's a depressing situation for the so-called rising star. How can one become a star when he's rarely seen? It's impossible.
