    No its not, Boots wasn't wild trying to bomb him, he was getting caught where he shouldn't get caught and that's a huge difference.
    Ennis either patches up these defensive holes or he'll eventually pay against bigger punchers. Hopefully, prospective opponents see these holes and actually gain some courage. Whether or not he improves, I'll be watching because he does provide entertainment. He reminds me of Spence, and I hope Ennis doesn't fall victim to the pitfalls of fame and fortune.

      Maybe it wasn't Hatton level bum rushing but it was still bum rushing imo. I expected him to pick ava apart and be more slick.

        He admitted that he had ring rust, but he has a good chin so it doesn't matter. He still got the guy out of there before the 6th round. He still delivered what he said he is going to do.
        You wishy-washy weirdos got to make up your mind on what you want to see. Shakur showed solid defence, and you said he is boring. Boots showed solid offense, had decent defense and delivered what he said, you still say negative things.

          Boxing fans can be difficult to satisfy sometimes; we critique even as we're being entertained. I thought Shakur's fight was a bit boring, but I also realize that my perception was clouded by the De Los Santos performance. Fun fact: Ennis actually absorbed less punches vs. Avanesyan, according to CompuBox. Sometimes, the best defense is a destructive offense.

              It's not ring rust

              go back on this forum and after every fight of his in the past few years and I've pointed out that his defense isn't good and it gets hit flush way too much.

                  Yeah, he’s not defensively responsible at all. He likes to fight in the phone booth a little bit too much for a guy with his height and reach advantage. I don’t see him beating Crawford, but he can still beat other boxers at 147 and 154. Canelo is the only one I can see beating Crawford.

                    I think that was more because he’d been out for a while and David smothered him. I thought Boots got hit but David is not some scrub. He studied Boots and landed some well timed shots.

                      He’s trying to be too flashy and that will be his downfall when he fights tougher competition.
