Comments Thread For: Beat that, Bud: Jaron Ennis KOs David Avanesyan in timely fashion

[eco1]

I think Ennis is a good fighter but gets hit too much for my taste, and flush in the face. One of theses days he is going to fight someone who can punch (unless management already know this and keeps putting him in there with guys without a one KO punch) and then we will find out.

Yea and now that the unprofessional Janet-Becky Alimkhanuly can't make 160 anymore then PBC will probably will probably pick up the other 2 MW belts because no one else has any MWs of note. So I guess we are going to be spending the next 3 years watching Boots and Hearn beg Al Haymon for PBC fighters from 147-168. EARN WITH HEARN! My Gawd!!!

Warren will make sure Sheeraz gets an opportunity for the wbo belt at 160 - but he is massive at 160 so he'll move up to 168 soon enough - Canelo will be coming back own to 160 anytime now

There’s no chance of Boots moving up unless he can’t make the weight anymore imo
Plus I think once he starts to fight the boys at 154 , Boots won’t be as explosive as his fans want him to be

he's be in some good fights at 154 - thats all that matters - lets see him tested - just like all fighters

Papi Boots already laid out the game plan ; unify the 147
For how long , no one knows or he might just be forced by weight issues

Another exposed hype job.

Apparently, he can do everything except avoid the same punch over and over. Poor ring IQ. Bud doesn't even get hit that much when he's processing.

Then he makes the amateur mistake of pushing for the knockout against a guy who was already stopped when he was younger and fresher by Kavaliauskas and the guy he claims is ducking him. A stoppage from a doctor paid by Hearn at that.

Have you heard of boxing 'game plans' ? I guarantee he'd have a different game plan for Ortiz andd it'd be different again for Bud and for Fundora. Plus, as the writer mentioned a few times - he was likely intent on putting on a show for his home town crowd - not gonna be a successful show if he fights like Shakur - successful as in they'd come back for his next fight.

Have you watch majority of Boots fights? He gets hit pretty well in just about all of them so am not basing my comment on just on this fight. I think he has a bad habit of trying to impose his physicality and sitting in the pocket admiring his work too much. He's done it consistently and habits would always show up at some point despite the gameplan

If Turkie really wants to spend ridiculously on fights, as he has, then he should be at the forefront doing all possible to make Canelo v Benevidez and Crawford v Boots.

Otherwise spending millions on two undedicated fighters, one a serial drug cheat, Jarrell Miller, and Andy Ruiz, and two fighters who actually are retired Leo Santa Cruz (35) and Abner Mares (38) which is a complete waste of money given neither has fought in two years and neither is going anywhere at this late stage of their careers.

I get the fact that some genius told Turkie that having Mexican fighters Ruiz, Mares, and Leo would help bring excitement as compared to the total lack of atmosphere in Saudi, and also help PPV numbers, but really, does Turkie really care about PPV numbers when the real game plan is white washing the Saudi horrific human right record and disregard for women through sports?

What about Munguia v Morrell or Zhang v Kabayel or Ruiz v Kabayel, those two fights alone are far more sensible than Miller, Leo, or Abner, three fighters who make no sense on the card.

If that suggestion doesn’t suit your fancy and you want to make a splash, why not break the Guinness World Record have have 8 world championship fights on the card with at least 1 female fight since the event is not in Saudi?

Turkie is in desperate need of someone advising him with creativity not named Eddie Hearn or Frank Warren.

Turkie got money to burn but like Roger said, he don't know shi.t about boxing. You can clearly see that by him picking these fights. If he's going to throw money around, there are a lot of incredible fights like you mentioned that can be made. Crawford vs Madrimov, I don't even know where that came from. Such as weird match up except you are looking at Crawford just getting a title at 154. If Boots doesn't bring much to the table like Bud noted then I don't see what Madrimov is bringing that is superior so yes Turkie is just picking these matchups without any logic it seems.

Didn’t bother tuning in. Wake me up when they put a warm body in front of this guy.

To give Avanesyan credit, he was outmatched, but he did hang tough and fought back admirably until the corner stoppage. TBH, Boots style gave him opportunities that he should not have had.
