Should Boots Ennis Have Chosen a Bigger Test at 154 Instead of Uisma Lima?
Wednesday | Oct 8, 2025
Jaron “Boots” Ennis returns to the ring this weekend against Uisma Lima at 154 pounds. In today’s episode of BoxingScene Today, we ask whether Boots should have picked a tougher opponent as he begins his run in a new division. Robert Garcia joins the discussion to explain what it’s like training a fighter facing a lower-profile opponent. Should Boots be chasing names like Vergil Ortiz instead?

I am hoping somehow Lima pulls the upset. A healthy dose of karma.

There's plenty of things he SHOULDVE/SHOULDNT HAVE DONE.
Like-
Shouldn't have left the wbo rankings when Bud was making nothing but mandatory and voluntary defenses.
Shouldnt have turned down Buds offer years later.
Should have attempted to become undisputed at '47, instead of ducking the Ortiz fight on Turki's huge card.

Everyone knows Bootsy won’t fight anyone elite. He’s the sparring champion of the world. He’ll wash cab drivers till the cows come home

He definitely should have chosen an oponent no lower than top 5.
