Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis signs extension with Matchroom Boxing, DAZN

I'm calling it now.

Boots career already eerily look similar to Kell Brook's.

Brook best win was Porter and it was just bums after that.
Boots best win is Stanionis and it's gonna be bums after that.

Stanionis as best win is kinda wild. Stanionis himself was completely unproven and honestly unlike Boots never showed any talent or skill to begin with. I dont rate Conor Benn at all but i think even Benn and Barrios would have stopped Stanionis

Very disappointing. But then again unless you’re fighting on Netflix you’re really not getting the most exposure to the American market

What other platform is giving fighters big exposure in the American market?

Great move - now lets see some decent competition

Bread thinks boots no smoke is the best fighter on the planet, what a joke

When Jaron starts walking through the 154lb division you'll be the first to claim they were all bums. Amiright.

At one point the entire PBC fandom were looking for revenge for the Errol Spence upset. Jaron's team saw the wave and hyped him "the giant slayer" and it was a great PR move. In the end, Bozy Ennis was not willing to risk his 26 year old son for peanuts with a prime killer like Crawford constrained to a Showtime exclusive.... because that's what was on the table. I thought it Bozy made the right call and said so at the time.

Jaron's Career is going to change, he's is in a stacked division with a benefactor willing to put up the money. IMO, this is Jaron's time, he's young but the planets are in line and if I'm correct, Jaron and going to show the world just how good he really is.

good post, if you are a young promising fighter with potential to earn tens of millions then you don't take a low pay high risk fight unless you are the next coming of Mike Tyson. Same for Norman vs Ennis.
The same can be said if you are an aged elite fighter looking to cashout - why would you take a high risk low reward fight ? Bud loses that and there's no Canelo payday. Same for Canelo vs Benavidez 3 years ago.
Young fighters will take big risk fights when they are either recklessly over confident or correctly confident in their supreme talent. See Tim Tszyu though not that young) and Mike Tyson. Its not always the fighter either - sometimes its the parents and/or the managers and promoters.
Ennis has one legit name on his ledger - Stanionis. He can fight Murtazaliev, Bohachuk, Lubin if that matchup falls through, - none of these would make him much money in the ordinary course of events but with Turki pulling the strings then he's guaranteed big payouts. I'd like to see him vs Ortiz but this fight will be bigger when they both have belts. If he would fight Fundora even better - that guy is good but he is not AS good as advertised.

You know as well as i do no smoke won't fight Ortiz

[HisExcellency]

Want to see this dude square off against that Chechen BEAST Murtaz...they're easily the best 2 fighter's in the division (with Crawford temporarily moving up) and need to put their 0's on the line at a big Riyadh Season event later this year.

Fat ahhh Ortiz literally ran to the next division
