You want to see a recent fight where a fighter had a better understanding,ability and display of tactics to cut the ring off and legs of a mover like Karen? Watch Jesse Rodriguez vs Christian Gonzalez from this past weekend. It was still difficult for Jesse but you can clearly see the difference in his attack/tactics,situational awareness and implementation of a game plan against a mover than that of Boots.
Very good offensive fighter when you're not giving him a little movement but has some serious defensive lapses in there as he was easily getting countered against Lipinets and now Karen. Fighters as skilled and big as Spence,Vergil and especially Crawford will make him pay for those liabilities. He definitely has the potential and attributes to be a great fighter no doubt, but imo it doesn't appear hes there just yet no matter how many mythical matchups his fans have him winning,according to them he's already a G.O.A.T.
Pobably why he thinks he's already a "ppv attraction" lmao....
