Comments Thread For: Chukhadzian And Scarff Fight To Face 'Boots' Ennis On May 17

[BoxingUpdates]

BoxingScene understands that the final eliminator for the IBF welterweight title, between Karen Chukhadzian and Harry Scarff, will take place in Hamburg, Germany on May 17. In February Wasserman acquired the rights to promote the contest after winning the purse bid and will now work in conjunction with a local German promoter to stage the event. The winner of the fight will become the mandatory challenger for the reigning IBF 147lbs champion, Jaron "Boots" Ennis.

Very interesting.

Fans of Scarff but...not sure he has enough to deal with Chukhadzian. Guy's got elite level footwork and he CAN crack.

So then, does Boots duck the rematch? Or (like we said on the show) does he actually look forward to running it back to show he's improved since that fight?

Looks like the IBF are not going to allow Ennis to sit on the title and become part of the inactive circle jerk. Good.

Being that Ennis already outboxed Chukhadzian, don't see there being any point in a rematch. Don't know anything about Scarff, but if he wins, be better to see Ennis against somebody different. Regardless, any activity for Ennis is better than sitting on a lawsuit on top of his usual inactivity for a talent of his kind. Dude is too inactive for a guy as good as he is that's trying to build himself up and land big fights. Needs to solve his promotional issues and get some real management.

Will, someone at boxing scene provide a lowdown on where Boots is with his promoter dispute?

Scarff is a good fighter, but from our eyes he's not on Chukhadzian's level. So either get ready for that rematch OR let's see if Boots ducks it by dropping the belt. Because Karen definitely wants it.

Can't blame him. Even though Chukhadzian lost, he definitely frustrated Ennis with his footwork and had some moments of success when he was able to catch Ennis throwing wild while following him around the ring trying to get at him. It's a matter of him being able to be more active while avoiding Ennis' big shots. Dude's a good fighter, but it takes more than just being a good fighter to compete with(let alone beat) a guy like Ennis. Wouldn't mind seeing a rematch between them if the circumstances line up, but unless Chukhadzhian can do anything different, it'll most likely be a repeat of their original meeting.

Nowadays you see the real boxers with balls are coming from the East and Asia. No more Americans or Mexicans, these are cowards, with a lot of excuses, avoiding even the mandatories but following only $$$...That's the "Floyd saga".

Funny thing: Chukhadzhian is actually improved. He went on to stop two guys in that SAME year. So fresh off fighting Boots Ennis he went on to get two stoppages. That's nuts! And we don't know if champion Boots is the same hungry as non-champion Boots where he gets clipped by something. Plus Boots has been inactive - almost a year now with no fight. Inactivity is what exposes fighters the most.

It's intriguing. Reminds of Zab Judah and Cory Spinks.

The word ducking in boxing implies fear. So when you say “of Boots ducks” you are suggesting Boots is afraid and will duck Karen.
After beating Karen by UD.

Guerrero asked Floyd for a rematch so did Marquez so did Hatton. Do you think Floyd ducked them?
