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.Comment

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.Comment

I'm sorry.
Maybe Jarron Anus is a very good boxer. I don't know. He looks the part.
But Villa looked like one of those tomato cans. Real primitive.
Yes, he's tough/durable but he does nothing else if he can't land the power.
