Villa is the most logical opponent, seeing as he just beat Ellis. However, if Ellis gets a rematch, then Ennis/Kavaliauskas would be decent. Butaev would be a decent opponent, but he's been inactive since the Stanionis fight.
Villa is the Mando for Ennis but wouldn't mind if he fought Ellis again as it be more exciting than the original considering both fighters will bring the gameplan after sizing each other up. But I prefer to see Boots take on Roiman first.
Kavaliauskas seems like a good benchmark fight for Ennis, as seen in his comeback with Fox after his loss, he isn't shot so it would tell us how Ennis stacks up as he be facing a good counterpuncher with a lot of power.Last edited by Malvado; 03-20-2023, 03:32 PM.

I don't think the matchmaking has been that bad, but it feels like he's behind schedule. The inactivity is a much bigger problem. If he had his last four opponents (Lipinets, Dulorme, Clayton, Chukhadzhian) in a 12 month span, he'd be fine. However, the reality is that those fights occurred in almost 21 months. The only fighter he didn't destroy was Chukhadzhian. Lipinets, Dulorme, and Clayton were 9 rounds combined.
He's got 31 bouts on his record and his 28th fight Lipinets was supposed to be his first step up fight. Which doesn't look impressive compared to Stanionis, for example, who is only in his 16th fight and he's already fighting at high levels with Vergil Ortiz Jr, who himself is also only in his 20th fight.
If that's not enough pressure for Jaron "Boots" Ennis, I don't know what is. Activity is the key for me.

IDK why Ennis doesn't start getting "advised" by Haymon because that seems to be the biggest thing holding up his career.Last edited by kiaba360; 03-20-2023, 04:45 PM.

Originally posted by Escorpion View PostHe will fight in June-July with likely his first headliner as the main event, the question is with whom though.
Ugas currently has not been contacted, in which he likely take a tune up in Barrios
Thurman is in talks with Spence, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Cody Crowley is taking on Abel Ramos in the Benavidez vs Plant undercard.
This leaves Rashidi, Kavaliuskas, Butaev, Giyasov and Villa though only three out of five are in the IBF rankings.
If he takes on Maestre, Fox, James, Palmetto or Crocker. Then he is basically shooting himself on the foot, we don't know if he come back at the end of the year or not.
