You started with personal attacks. I like you. You star Ye d with the “make it make sense” shot like you’re some kind of super smart person that knows more than everybody i was just saying booty is hype job. look at his record. Compare it with other hype jobs throughout history and you’ll see the striking similarities

I had to google that phrase because you made me doubt myself.

“Make it make sense” is a short, casual way to say, “Explain this in a way that’s logical.”
The person saying it wants to jokingly point out an absurd situation. It’s a popular slang phrase on social media and in memes and GIFs

Turns out I was right so you mistook my question as a personal attack. It certainly was not.

My apologies. My bad I took it the wrong way. Misunderstanding. I say that sometimes to people but I say it when I’m trying to make fun of them lol. Booty the next andrade though bro. I was a big ennis dan for years I watched him come up but his career path is that of hype job. If he wasnt a hype job logic tends to side with the fact he would have by this point in his career been in there with some better competition. Think of the greats or really any top fighters in history. How many reach 28 years old and haven’t fought anyone of note? The ones that make it that far getting email titles and dropping out of mandatory shots to avoid fighters(Crawford) are always exposed bro. Always. He waiting around to fight barrios man. Effin barrios is his main target and him and his team think that’s a legitimate acceptable fight. Tells you all you need to know about ennis. Even bread man having 2nd thoughts go read his last bread bag lol

Don’t sweat it bro! A lot can be lost in translation especially on platforms like this.

So I found out that Norman was offered $1.2 million to fight Boots and he turned it down. Apparently, he then took $200k in his next fight.

I don’t speak on absolute terms but those are tales going around. I don’t knock on him at all. Perhaps he feels a fight with Boots could potentially be worth $5 million by end of next year. Both him and Boots can unify against the two nondescript guys and then fight to unify the division a Bud and Crawford.

It would be no different from Bud and Spence. Two undefeated WW squaring off for the 2nd WW unification in history.

Wouldn’t that be something?

It would be a lot different bud and Spence won their titles off other champions. Also Brian Norman is 23 bro. 23. Booty was 27 when he got his first email title lol. Again unifying 147 is just so lame rn when all the action is at 154 and he sat on the sidelines for YEARS already. First they said it was his manager blah blah then he died and the wife took over and she didn’t know what she was doing now he trying to unify against nobodies and b level level fighters like barrios. It is what it is bro. You will seen eventually that he’s a hype job like everyone saw with Andrade

I'm not sure why Boots is hard on himself and why the media is hard on him. I think it was a great fight and I think Boots put on a very good performance against a very good fighter. Karen beats a lot of people at 147, in my opinion. I really don't like how Eddie Hearn was talking about him, saying it wasn't a good performance and all that. And then to say he's trying to get Boots Vergil Ortiz at 154 next, he shows he doesn't care about Boots. I don't care who you are, you shouldn't move to 154 and take Vergil Ortiz in your 1st fight up there. Hell no... Yes, Boots can learn more. All fighters can, but the skills he posseses are second to none. Who is more skilled than him, who? All Boots has to do is correct his impulse to try too hard for the knockout. With his skill and speed, he could soften guys up with basic boxing without taking any unnecessary punches in the process. And then when he soften the guy up and weaken him, he can turn up at the appropriate time, similar to the strategy that Tank employs, and he would get that knockout everytime he fights. Boots' problem is similar to what Meldrick Taylor's was. He's so gifted and talented enough to where he could avoid taking punches altogether, but he quickly gets bored with boxing because he prefers to fight.

I think this is an oversimplification. Boots is defensively irresponsible and has a questionable ring IQ. He constantly finds himself in range, mostly in 50/50 with no controls or defensive options. Karen also had success because Boots footwork is awful so he was able to set lateral traps while Boots was gathering his feet. Basically, any fighter that is good at attacking off angles is going to give him problems and if they have pop, they might stop Boots. We can’t keep saying he’s “bored” or he needs higher competition. He’s been getting touched up by dudes mostly not even in the top 10 and people expect to magically see him correct all his flaws at the highest level? It doesn’t work that way. He’s stagnant because his level of opposition has been mediocre far too long and he’s surrounded by yes men that don’t call out his constant mistakes.

Also, Meldrick had super fast hands but never had the ability to be a defensive fighter. Plus he had extremely short arms so he had to be in range more often than not and never accounted for return fire. The similarities with Boots is the Philly gym mentality and I hope it doesn’t end for Boots like it did for Meldrick.

I agree Boots needs work like every other fighter. Boxing is a sport where learning never stops. On that note, it sounds like you know all Boots' flaws. And since you're a fan(right?), I know you wanna see Boots get better. So how about you look up the address to 1 on 1 gym in Philly (Bozy's Dungeon), and go ask if you can get in the ring and help Boots correct what you said is his "defensive irresponsibility, awful footwork, and his questionable ring IQ". They all seem like sincere, down to earth people, and I know they're down there working hard, always trying to get better. They'll consider your comments, and would probably be pleased that someone wants to come all the way to Philly to help Boots correct his constant mistakes. I'm sure they'd want you to work with him and maybe spar 50 to 100 four minute, quality rounds.
After this trip, please report back to Boxingscene with your findings. Instead of yes men, you could be exactly what Boots needs in his camp to get better and fix all his flaws
