    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.
    Not sure if it does or doesn’t go the distance but Boots will have a field day especially if he can take the punches from Roman
    If he can’t hell just box from the outside
    Boring fight imo

      Ennis got a lot of PBC/SHO fighters to choose from, not to mention Cobbs, who apparently can fight anywhere. There was Stanionis, Butaev, Kavaliauskas, Crowley.

        It's fight night.

        Anyone else disagrees with the title of this thread?

          He’s tailor made strictly from a style perspective. Lipinet’s was tailor made both stylistically and in size. That was made for a great KO night for Boots. Villa, however, is coming with some heat and he’s got good size. So while it is tailor-made, there are key differences in the variables they make it a more balanced fight.

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.
            Ennis has said he will Thurman, Ortiz, Ugas, or Stanonis, or any top fighter. Ennis is not with PBC either. I don't understand the fake narratives that Ennis is not interested in fighting top guys. It also takes two to make a fight. If they're not interested the fight can't be made.


            I remember when Villa beat Ellis people here were asking why Ennis won't fight him. Now that the fight has been made the narrative has changed it to a meaningless fight and Villa is "made for Ennis."

                Jaron Ennis agrees with this thread.
                Villa being tailor-made for Ennis has been the central theme of Boots' promotion of the fight.

                Jaron Boots Ennis:

                "I feel like this gonna be a legendary performance by me," Ennis said.
                “I feel like I’m gonna beat him up, break him down, you know, and get a knockout
                at the end of the night. You know, I’m back to making statements."

                “He comes forward, he doesn’t know nothing else.
                He’s a good fighter but he’s Tailor-made for me."​

                  It's possible Killa Villa will soon become Plain Vanilla Villa. But things happen.

                  English-speaking people always pronounce the "ll" as a single "l".

                  Latinos sees LL = LY

                  Therefore, Villa should be pronounced, Vil-ya, not mere Vil-a. Zorilla is pronounced Zo-ril-ya.

                    Nobody was saying Ennis was ducking Villa, people were saying villa would've been a better fight than Karen, and it is. I look at this like I looked at benevidez/lemiuex It's an ok fight but I give villa zero chance. I .He was #2 with the wbo when Vergil turned down Crawford, he could of easily enforced his mando and fought bud, but he didn't. He went the easy ibf route. He might not b officially PBC but he is with showtime who works with PBC and fights mostly PBC guys. Hopefully he fights the winner of Thurman/ugas.

                      It's a foregone conclusion. Even Jaron "Boots" Ennis agreed with me. It's tailor-made for him.
