Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis Breaks Down, Batters, Stops Roiman Villa in Tenth

[Theshotyoudontsee]

Been saying for a year, Ennis is obviously the real deal. Has throwback skills and power. The only question mark at this point is, what happens when he takes a big shot from an elite fighter. Villa was a good fighter, no bum. He just did not have the speed or skill to threaten Boots.

At this point, the true test for Boots is Spence or Crawford. He is at that level talent wise. I believe he could beat either guy, but the final test would be Bud landing on him. No one can keep Boots honest, apart from likely Bud, and possibly Spence.

I see a real throwback in Boots. Love watching him.

Ennis won against a tough opponent. Villa hits hard, but yeah, 'Boots' a clear level above Rashidi Ellis, whom Villa beat.

Ennis reminded me a little of Floyd, to be honest but Villa has zero defensive skills and just kept coming forward and walking into a storm so let's not get ahead of ourselves with comments like he will beat Crawford, Spence, Ortiz. Ennis did not have to work hard in this fight, VIlla came to him all night long, a perfect style match-up for Ennis. Chukhadzian exposed Ennis' shortcomings, and made him miss all night long, frustrating him, countering beautifully but unfortunately his punching was of the powder puff kind and he did not, could not hurt Ennis, with a low punch output but he showed a template. I reckon Ellis will do much better as a slick boxer against Ennis than Villa, even though he lost to Villa. Ennis is a boxer puncher in the style of Crawford-that would be a great match-up. Spence has a very high work rate, great defense and strong fundamentals, I reckon he beats Ennis in a closely contested match. Fans are always looking for the next good thing and I am not saying that Ennis isn't that but we need to see him get really tested against elite level opponents.

I think Boots would stop Ortiz. The only advantages Ortiz would have are size and aggression.

Ennis did what he had to against a tuff MF’er!
He ready for his shot fosho

Boots is the real deal

Ennis is the next guy in welterweight division. I was very impressed. Villa is a warrior, but Ennis was too good. Crawford or Spence better be ready.

There goes Boot Ennis beating yet another uknown bum. Not impressed.

I think it’s adorable that you call him an unknown fighter. That tells me you’re brand new to the sport kiddo. Welcome to boxing!

How cute

[Andre Agoncillo]

I don't see anybody stopping this guy anytime soon. Ortiz your next!!

Why isn't he an unknown boxer? Cause he beat Rashidi Ellis lmao. Guy doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

Every single one of these haters just proved that their dislike of Ennis is entirely racially based.

Villa was an undefeated top ten Ring rated contender, with an 89% KO rate at the time of the fight. Boots fought going forward, going backwards, orthodox and southpaw, on the inside, on the outside, in the pocket, defended on the ropes, and dominated basically every second.

That's what the eye test is about. You want to know if a guy has particular skill sets, so you put him in with different styles to force him to demonstrate or develop some of the above. Boots put on a clinic last night. If you can't see that, you are either racially biased, or YDKSAB. I'm not black myself, but I also don't care about skin color, and I'm not sure why there's so many fans on here who can't get past it. It's pathetic, really. If you can't see the skills on display, you're not much of a fan of the sweet science, IMO.

There you go sucking **** again. Villa already had a loss on his resume to a nobody.
