Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Thanks David Avanesyan For 'Stepping Up' To Face 'Boots' Ennis

[PBR Streetgang]

Avanesyan is outgunned but he will bring it for as long as it lasts. Some people think Boots is a fraud and overrated, Avanesyan is a guy who will try and find out if that's true (e.g. Lererraga, Kelly and Taylor). For short notice, that's all you can ask for.

Avanesyan has only been stopped by a certain level. Let's see if Boots can take care of business like Bud and Mean Machine did.

First performance comparison fight between Boots and Bud, you can also add Vergil Ortiz in the mix.
Of course there was Dulorme, but that's no longer relevant. Let's see how Boots does with Avanesyan.

I'd agree but I'd go a bit further. Boxing is about levels. Avanesyan is hell for guys on levels below elite. Conor Benn ran from Avanesyan like a rabbit from a fox. Conor wouldn't have wanted to be in the same city as David, never mind the same ring. There is no disgrace being whacked by Crawford. Probably all the welterweights in history, outside the elite ATG top 20 or so would've been whacked by Crawford.
