Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Stripped Of IBF Belt; Jaron Ennis Elevated To Full Titlist

[Goatintheboat]

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.

Didn't Crowley decline the eliminator against Essuman though?

Will the PBC fanboys taunt Jaron Boots Ennis for being handed an email title like they did to Tzyu?

Bud has made it clear he has no interest in fighting Boots.

That's what he was waiting for. Now hopefully he'll fight some live bodies and start his era.

You have examples of “live bodies” in mind?

Congratz to Boots for his new Email championship of the world. Expecting a significant upgrade in opposition from now on. As for Bud ,this only confirms Spence rematch taking place at 154.

“Upgrade in opposition”? Which guys do you have in mind?

[Oregonian]

Let this sink in- Boots previous 15 fights are with opponents equaling 63 losses…. Just to clarify… that’s 15 fighters = 63 losses total amongst those 15 fighters- does that quality of competition sink in yet??

I trust you did the same research with Spence and Crawford’s while they were both 26 years old?

What about Haney, when will they strip him? He ain't coming back to 135.

Atleast Ennis didn't have to hit anyone behind the head to get the title.

Idgaf about belts like most here do, but I like that this will get more ppl trying to fight Boots with a belt on the line now.

Boots has passed the bad mfer eye test quite awhile back, but these mfers won't fight him to allow him to pass the bad mfer test in the ring so he was bound to "win" a belt like this it seems.

I honestly don't know about that. I looked at the various alphabet rankings and the WBC has Crowley as #1, but Barrios just won their "interim" belt. However the WBC doesn't list this on their website. I think they just haven't updated their rankings because Ugas is still ranked above Barrios. So, my thought now is that Crowley will hope to fight Barrios for the official WBC title once vacated by Bud. That's what I would do if I were him. Crowley is much more likely to beat Barrios, in my opinion, than Ennis. So, right now Essuman is ranked just behind Crowley, so maybe he fights Ennis?

Crawford shouldn’t give dam. He already made history by winning the undisputed in the first place. They (IBF) can take the title status and stick up their ass. The rematch is at 54
