Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis has eyes on junior middleweight: 'That weight is poppin' right now'

[factsarenice]

would love see Madrimov vs Ennis

Me too and I think that's a real possibility.

IMO, Madrimov beats Bohachuk on points but that's just my opinion. Madrimov does a lot of moving and sudden stops and speed alone isn't enough to beat him and keep in mind, he knocked Fundora clean out in sparring... it's a real fight.

Murtazaliev should be available before anyone else and he's sort of the talk of the weight class at the moment. I think he's another good fight for Ennis. Tim got clipped when he was still cold and Murtazaliev had a perfect plan and Tim had none. Ennis is strong , moves and he has the style to beat all three of them. But again, I could be wrong but I'd pay to find out.

The real problem is that Jaron Ennis's team doesn't seem to be as confident in Jaron as I am.

[factsarenice]

isn't he 26 years old? I agree he needs to step up. and I mean go to 154 and have a string of fights with the top 5 up there.

I believe Jaron will be 27 for his next fight and if he only fights one a year he's got 3 fights until he's 30. If matchmaking continues to be a problem at 147, especially for the money he can generate , Jaron is screwed.

Jaron needs to sort this out quickly while the only other option is still the hottest in boxing.

If Ennis moves up, all of a sudden, everyone will say it's getting harder to make weight. Then they'll all move up to 160, then 154 will be as empty as 147. OR, no one at 154 will fight him. They'll be calling everyone else out, except him. Ennis is that kid in the schoolyard that nobody ever wanted to play with

Boots is the IBF 147 beltholder, and if he goes up to 154 I'm sure he'll get ranked quite high on IBF 154, and Murtazaliev and his promoters will most likely eagerly take that fight knowing it will be a great way to start spreading his name in the US.

Boots offers no merit to Crawford right now, but he actually provides certain merits to Murtazaliev when you think about it by comparison:
1) Can convert the Spence turned Boots "fans" into Murtazaliev "fans" to use as a stick to bash Crawford, getting his name out among the English speaking boxing fans
2) Will be better money (not crazy good level that Crawford wants, but certainly better than what Murta will be able to get fighting Erick Lubin on a voluntary defense)
3) More coverage in the US (Boots ain't THAT famous, but is still more known and popular than Murta)
4) Every boxing "analyst" who's giving Boots the eye test treatment would have to rate Murtazaliev even higher

Which is also why I don't really see Boots going up to 154 and calling out the champions because the one most likely to answer would be Murta.

Bullrider and poop****. Y'all names say everything we need to know about yall two. Why are y'all on a boxing forum? Y'all should both be on a g....yyy website

You've been repeating the same idiotic nonsense for the last 2 years now, which is the complete opposite of what is in Ennis' record. He is a career 147 from the very beginning. Where is Kavaliauskas, Josesito, prime Avanesyan, even non-prime Guerrero, Berto, Alexander, Collazo, etc. on his record? Did he attempt to fight those names starting from his 25th fight?

Those are his fellow 147 guys also trying to make names for themselves. He lacked balls to face them, didn't he? And he'd rather fight total nobodies to manufacture his undefeated record. You can lie to yourself all you want, all day everyday, but you need to keep it to yourself bro.

Ok. Guerrero, Berto, and especially Collazo is a whole different generation. Berto and Devon Alexander were career 140 lb guys. Berto had a few bouts at welter but these guys aren't even active anymore. Ask any of them and Josesito if they would wanna face Boots. I'm sure the answer is hell no. Mean machine is a good guy he can fight. He's the only possible opponent of all the names u named. And Boots destroyed Avenesyan. Everyone u mentioned is small, old as hell and inactive or retired. I'm not gonna speak on any man's balls. I'll let u do all that.

Did Bootsie try to fight those guys four years ago? What was he thinking when he was fighting total nobodies like Eyubov, Abreu, Heerden, etc. starting from his 25th fight? Robert Guerrero called Bootsie out just recently, so there's no doubt he wouldn't have denied Bootsie a desperately needed name four years ago.

I like Guerrero. I wouldn't wanna see that fight though. Guerrero is tougher than a lot of current boxers, but his time is past. Boots would hurt him at this point. He's a middle aged man. He does not need that level of ass whipping at this stage of his life.

Crowley fought Josesito. Was a tough fight for both. It's the fight that put Cody's name on a portion of the boxing map. Booty avoided those levels.

Idk his age..my point was he is wasting time..

Boots would hurt Josesito and Crowley real bad. Y'all dudes are crazy as hell in this forum
