Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz' team fire back about proposed fight with Jaron Ennis

[Smash]

I would like to offer my deepest apologies to all on this site for me defense of Jaron Ennis over the last 6-7 years. This guy has all the talent in the world but unfortunately he does not have the wits to match the talent. I will no longer be defending this guy on this site. Say what you want about him and I will remain radio silent! Resigning with Eddie has to be one of the most bone-headed decisions a boxer has ever made!

he has the wits alrite its the balls that are in question

It's protection with tentacle arms to wrap around and smother Boots. I think Boots shot his load at 147 and Eddy is doing him favors.

Ortiz's team knows that Virgil may lose the fight with Boots so they are holding out for the most money possible before they lose their O. Boots marketability will go up if he has a big fight with Ortiz and Ortiz's team wants in on the action. Plain and simple. I see this fight as being an 80/20 fight in favor of Boots.

It's sad for me to admit that Boots, just like Bud Crawford, is one of those 'old school' black American athletes that only feel validated by an envelopian........I mean a whyt-MANE. Al Haymon is the only guy who made wealthy black boxers. No one else. Except for Arum he's a good guy too!

Ortiz faked an illness twice, ate his way out of welterweight, and is now fighting Keith Thurman in 2025.

Boots Ennis was a unified champion.

Fighting Keith in 2025 is true protection. Eating a chorizo diet to get out of welterweight is true protection. Making up illnesses is true protection.

No pops, you instead are in a homeless encampment looking for Keith Thurman.

You NEED to be learning how to not have your son on a 100% chorizo diet, less he move up to 160

Eddy doesn't have any faith in him and even his dad said no to Virgil. I heard it from his mouth. I'm not saying Boots is no good. I'm saying we'll never know. Virgil beat bigger and better east block warriors. Boots beat a 13 fight wonder boy.

He unified the IBF and WBA email belts.

Bahachcuk and Madrimov are levels above Karen and Stanionis.

Yet Ennis ducked Vergil and is looking to fight Josh Kelly and WW Rashi Ellis. What a shame.

Isn't Madrimov and Ennis both with Matchroom. Should be easy to make.
