Is Killa Villa tailor-made for "Boots" Ennis?

[al-Xander]

I'm not against this fight, don't get me wrong. Any fight is better than playing waiting game, sit around for ages.

It's not like Ennis' team got a long list of choices. IBF is Boots' choice of potential belt gain and Villa is the next guy in line in the IBF ranking. I just don't see any other fight out there that Ennis is interested in. The Spence fight is not happening, according to his own manager, Dunkin, confirmed by Espinoza.

The Rashidi fight was a grueling fight for Villa and Roiman only bounced back in the later rounds. But Ennis is bigger and has longer reach. Punches with such reach got more pop and power. I don't think this fight will last the distance.

Villa is definitely tailor made for boots and I agree this doesn't go the distance. Pbc also has Crowley, butaev, kava, & ugas. Idk why he doesn't seem to b pursuing anyone tho, just sits around saying he's a headliner and everyone is ducking him. At least villa is a decent b-level name and would definitely his best win if the fight happens.

Yeah he’ll walk onto the counter left hand all night I think.

Just keep Boots active though, he could fight a complete scrub like Blair Cobbs or Conor Benn at this point. I just want to see him active.

Three scrubs a year might be okay.

They should be announcing this fight by now. What is the hold up? Is there even any other alternative?

Is this fight even happening or just simply dead on arrival?

I like the fight fine. Sure Boots would be a heavy favorite but hard hitting Columbians should never be taken lightly.

Hes slow as molasses. He could beat guys like Speedy that dont present much to worry about in power but Boots has speed and power.

Both fighters probably want huge paychecks Espinoza cannot afford to pay. Why would he, where would he get the money from? Each fighter has 7 fans each. The main guy is hardly ever seen in the ring.
