That's enough for his fangirls apparently lol

and looked pretty bad doing it, often was countered and couldn't cut the ring off on a mover who didn't wanna engage.

Boxing is just s**t these days. Way too much politics and BS.

Yeah, the alphabet groups are all messed up. But, when they eventually get something right we need to support those decisions. Of course, we should still dump on them for all the ****** and wrong stuff they do.

The ABC bodies can be very inconsistent with enforcing their own rules. What's the point of having pages of rules/regulations if you refuse to apply them? WBC lets Jermall go on a two year hiatus when he could've been made 'champion in recess'. Cordina was stripped after the Ogawa fight due to injury, but Spence was allowed to keep his title even after the car accident. Many new titlists are forced to fight mandatories because the previous champion barely fought any mandatories. Sanctioning bodies are cherry-pickers too, and it's one of the more frustrating realities of following the sport.

Since the IBF #1 and #2 are vacant, Ennis will get to do a voluntary against anyone in the top 10. My guess is he picks Jamal James or Alexis Rocha. Would love to see Santillan, but no way papa Ellis allows that.......

All these paper champs.

How do you win a title out of nowhere?

Ennis just a paper belt holder. Everyone knows Crawford is the man.

It would have been better if the IBF had put the nearest contender up against Boots for the championship instead of just e-mailing the paper title to him.

Well, they followed their rules when they made the fight between him and Chukhadzhian for the "Interim"belt. And then he defended it versus Roiman Villa. So, in their minds that's what they did (fight nearest contender). Their current highest ranked fighter is Cody Crowley. So, hopefully, they mandate that as his next fight.

Preach!

Boots vs Thurman, for his first defense..

Give his title some credibility, and his resume.

Their rules suck though. They need to change it.
