Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis Has All the Talent But No Dance Partners at 'Barren' 147

No excuse at all not to make the Conor Benn fight now. Benn has called him out three times already. Benn is free to fight in America.

By the way I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Bud (Top rank) Canelo (GBP?DAZN) Boots (free agent) were never PBC fighters so kudos to Haymon for holding it down. Subriel was PBC but by going to MR?DAZN if he fights Haney and Prograis then good shyte. Other lesser known fighters like Kenneth Simms and Micheal Rivera are typical lower tier fighters that bounce back and forth between HBO and Showtime or TR and PBC.

it’s my take on what I think Hearn may have been engineering behind the scenes in order to sign Ennis and also potentially meet Crawford’s purse demands. Otherwise why would Hearn think he can make fights other than throwing Connor Been under a bus at 147. He has no one of note at 147. Nothing to do with. complex about PBC, more trying to understand what Hearn has used to lure Ennis into signing.

Saudi money. Guaranteed he has told him he can fight benn on the last fight of his contract in Saudi.

Danyar Yelleussinov was a Kazakh Olympic gold medalist. At that time, Eddie Hear also had promising undefeated welterweghts in Josh Kelly, Florian Marku, Chris Kongo, Mckinson and then Benn was coming up too. Avenesyan was also kind of fighting through matchroom too. Yelleussinov dominated Indongo 'bettert han Crawford'. However instead this guy had an ego and thought he should be blowing up like GGG. He was blackballed by GGG and then people talked him into leaving Matchroom (because of the GGG connection). Now his career has vanished, he has no career now and the years have gone by.

Eddie pretty much messed up with the whole lot of those guys with the way he just focused on Benn. All of those guys fighting each other would have been quality. Covid didnt help and then sky sports nicking fighters.

As for Boots, we'll probably end up seeing Boots vs Benn in the US now.

The ultimate fight for Ennis is not Benn, it's Vergil Ortiz and they're both with Dazn now so it will get made. Benn cannot fight in Saudi because Saudi uses the british boxing board of control. Benn is supposed to be US based now because Vada cleared him and they have a lot of commissions, some who likely wont allow Benn to fight.

No, but beating them actually establishes you as a top guy. Right now, the only recommendation Ennis has is the "eye test"

I wasn't commenting on Boots situation. I was commenting on the division. The division is bleak. A blind man can see that.

Vergil hasn't even proved his back back yet. I'd argue there are several better fights for Boots at 154 (Bud, Errol, Tim & Fundora) than Vergil. Once Vergil gets a legit W post all his health issues he's in the running for a top fight but I think Bud at any weight is the ultimate fight for Boots til Bud hangs them up & out of play completely.

Benn is a whatever fight outside of the money if he gets cleared to fight in the UK again. Benn is food for all the tip top guys. Boots smokes Benn or has Benn moving like Karen track star ass.

His excellency has no interest in eggs Benny I don’t know why anyone thinks that lol. Saudis have made it clear they’re only interested in paying big money for the top fights. Conor benn doesn’t fight that description

That wouldn’t stop fast Eddie from using the Saudis as bait

[Oldskoolg]

There are actually fights for him on dazn but I just don’t see them coming to fruition. Eddie will have him fight a couple of domestic level British fighters that won’t last 5 rounds combined and then he will have him fight benn in the Saudi on an undercard. All the while going totally unnoticed by American sports fans who don’t have dazn. This was NOT a good career move for this ultra talented kid. I hope he is paid well because he is giving away prime years and boxing is indeed passing him by. Oh well, hope the lad does well and makes some highlight reels against Liam Smythe and Callum Braithwaite and the like..
