    Boots' defense stinks

    Boots is a super strong, extremely athletic fighter. Dude impresses me a whole lot but his defense can be ridiculously bad.

    All I’m going to say is he ain’t close Bud’s level
    Crawford would take advantage of those errors and make him pay
    Boots would be the next Spence if they were to fight now

      I say he has good defensive skills which are flashy but porous because his reflexes can't always keep up.

      At least it is based from what I think from his performances with Lipinets, Villa and Avanesyan.

        You can tell he’s still green but thats cause he hasnt been tested. Only way to learn from your mistakes. Sucks 147 now is as bad as 160 was during the GGG era

          But Boots is famous line is they’re not on my level
          That said , even Ortiz would beat the chit out of him right now
          Bud would make it a rerun of Spence

            Boots was just trying to get him out of there. He had no respect for his opponent. With a more dangerous opponent he would not fight that way.

                Don’t you find it funny that all the Spence fans I mean Boots fans are all MIA

                  32 pro fights, 27 years old but green? ye ok. He lacks head movement and keeps his chin in the air and eats clean shots. Hard to change that so far in a career. That is one of the basics you sort out coming up.

                    Ring rust. And didn't have respect for his opponent after all. He would not fight the same way against Fundora, Tszyu, Crawford, Spence , or Ortiz Jr. I would say his defense is a B plus. Has potential to become an elite defensive fighter though.
