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

I can't see the rematch with Ennis and Chukhadzhian not happening if it is ordered by the IBF.
This is the route Ennis chose, so I don't see him turning down the rematch. Otherwise...

On NSB, the word ducking implies that you dropped the title instead of fighting the guy who called you out for it, regardless of fear.

Because as you well saw, NSB said

- Canelo DUCKED Golovkin by dropping the belt rather than fighting him
- Canelo is DUCKING Benavidez by not facing him as mandatory to the title
- Jermell DUCKED Tim Tszyu by vacating rather than fight him


So...if we say these three are true, how is it then not true that Boots would effectively be ducking Karen if he vacated the belt rather than fight him? Because it's the same thing.

This is why I keep asking for NSB to be consistent. Either it's ducking or it's not.

The difference is BOOTS already beat Karen. If he does not fight him, it is not a duck.
Canelo ducked both GGG and Benavides.

Canelo beat Golovkin in the second fight.

Make it make sense.

————
After getting beat in the first fight. Amiright?

[Oregonian]

No, it was a draw.

———-
And I guess Oscar beat Felix Sturm and Ward beat Kovalev in the 1st fight.
Canelo also beat Lara and he also beat Floyd according to one of the judges score cards.
And Julio Chavez beat Meldrick Taylor and Margarito beat Cotto.

We could go on about boxing robberies that were so obvious.

It’s easier than that.

All we need is a quote from Floyd:

”At The End Of The Day, whose hand was raised…?”

Canelo/G 1 had BOTH getting their hand raised. Which is a DRAW.

Also, there was no card that had Canelo beating Floyd. One card had it a draw, the other two were for Floyd. So Floyd’s hand got raised. It doesn’t matter what one card says, it matters what all three say.

———-
I can’t argue against the argument of whose hands was raised at the end. A win is a win is a win.

I will disagree that Boots will be ducking Karen, but to be fair, if Karen wins and becomes mandatory to Boors, most likely that fight will happen unless Bud grows a pair since he seems to have run out of options. He was banking on Tim to win so he could collect that Australian money but that’s kaput for now.
