Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis again outpoints Karen Chukhadzhian in a fight to forget

[Left Hook Louie]

– Had another excellent time at the fights.
– Saved $35 by parking at The Lakes and walking across Broad Street.
– Didn’t realize that I paid for a club-level seat, $81 including all fees, which was away from all of the typical riff-raff, gangta pretenders, and fashion emergencies.
– Lots of Phila Police at the event.
– $20 for a 24oz beer.
– Undercard was solid.
– Manual Gallegos took it to Khaili Coe with authority.
– Ray Ford put on a good performance after his loss against Nick Ball last fight.
– Bam comes to knock you out.
– Not too impressed with Ennis. I’ll take Virgil Ortiz over Boots.
– Next live Boxing card that I will attend?????????

Love the details, thanks

Well, not Boots fault for fighting this guy. A fight no one wanted to see. It's been posted here before but I really wonder what Boots would do against a real puncher. I've never seen Ennis really take a shot like most boxers who fight long enough get. That lazy left that started just above Karen's knee seemed to land at will. And some right crosses straight to the kisser. Powder puff Karen is not exactly a knockout artist. Still - - a nice payday for him. Recommendation - - bank it. You won't be getting many more of those in the future.

Not fair that the referee deducted points from the Ukranian for excessive holding when African Americans do it all the time and it´s part of their style. (boring Floyd Mayweather for example). Referees, being afraid of being alled racists, donpt even give the Afro fighters a warning.

Got ro give credit to the Ukrainian he is a tough fit determined dude. Also boots was fighting someone around the same size as him, dude made boots look ordinary for 24 rounds, i can't wait for the excuse breadman gives......

Breadman will give tons of excuses and say Afro fighters are the best.

i was expecting Ennis to stop this guy, this time. Very surprised at his sloppiness. He has taken unnecessary shots in the past and that continued last night. Was he not fully focused because of the opposition? If that's not the excuse, then maybe Boots isn't what many of us have projected.

Boots was always taking shots in the past, just not as many as he did last night. I don't know if the reason was that he wanted a KO too much so he left himself open or perhaps Karen had the benefit of experience and knew the exact shots that would get through every time. Either way, at 154 those shots that got through yesterday would have hurt Boots and put him down and possibly out.

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.

That's right. I want to see it as should all boxing fans.

I've said it over and over again, that it's an intriguing fight that I have Bud winning.

If Turki is willing to pay for it, I have no idea why Bud is avoiding it? He was the clesr favorite before this fight, he's the clear favorite now.

Dont get me wrong buddy is not that I dont want to watch that but in my humble opinion theres nothing intriguing about that matchup, Bud would absolutely dominate Boots without a cast of a doubt ,maybe even stop him in 9 or less. Too much holes in his game for a skilled guy like Bud to take advantage of. Boots is terribly overrated.

When do we start calling Karen Chukhadzian "huggies haney"

Don’t hold your breath…

Dang , what's up with the negativity Raskin ? The fight was fun , plenty of punches thrown and landed , with both guys trying to hurt each other and succeeding at times. What more do you want ? It was a lot more entertaining than watching Boots blow someone out in a few rounds. Karen Chuckhadzian was intent on redeeming himself and his reputation after his non effort in the first fight and he acquitted himself well. Boots obviously could have fought differently and made the fjght easier for himself , but he didn't and the fight was probably more entertaining because of it. Maybe after seeing him look human and get hit so much one of the title holders at 147 might sack up and fight him.
