Eddie Hearn: Boots Ennis Beats Crawford Based mostly On Crawford’s Efficiency In opposition to Madrimov


Promoter Eddie Hearn says Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis beats Terence Crawford primarily based on how he appeared in his ‘win’ over WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov final Saturday evening.

Ennis did not benefit from being at ringside for Crawford-Madrimov as a result of he may have referred to as out Crawford. In line with Hearn, Ennis wouldn’t name out Crawford as a result of it could be a waste of time.

Even when he’d needed to, Ennis possible wouldn’t have been allowed to enter the ring after the battle to name out Crawford. Safety was tight, guarding the ring like hawks and able to pounce on anybody who tried to enter after the battle.

The very last thing Boots wanted was to be humiliated and brought away in handcuffs. If this had been Canelo Alvarez, who needed to enter the ring to name out Crawford, that will be a special story. The safety workers would have given him the purple carpet remedy, treating him like royalty.

Crawford’s Hesitation to Face Ennis

Hearn feels Crawford will steer clear of Boots Ennis as a result of he’ll lose to him. Additionally, it’s not a large enough battle to curiosity Crawford, who’s money-focused, and he’s not going to make the form of dough that will tempt him to face the unbeaten Boots (32-0, 29 KOs).

Terence didn’t seem like his outdated self towards Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs). He appeared slower and weaker, not the fighter followers raved about final yr towards the wasted, automobile crash-wrecked shell of Errol Spence.

In opposition to that model of Spence, anybody would have appeared like gold towards him final yr. Followers had been fooled, pondering Crawford was this unbeatable man with out factoring in how washed Spence is.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) has misplaced one thing from his sport, and Hearn feels he’ll steer clear of the younger phenom to proceed pushing for a battle towards Canelo Alvarez.

“He’s not going to name out. That’s not his fashion. It’s the large cringe,” stated Hearn when requested why Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis didn’t name out Crawford after the battle. “Terence Crawford isn’t going to battle Boots. Boots beats Terence Crawford on that efficiency.

It’s potential that Crawford was by no means nearly as good as individuals thought, and Madrimov, who Hearn feels was the very best opponent of his 16-year professional profession, uncovered him for being a partial hype job. When you have a look at Crawford’s resume, there’s not a lot there.

So, it won’t have been Crawford’s advancing age and bodily decline that prompted his lackluster efficiency towards Madrimov, however quite, he’d by no means been what individuals had thought.

Both means, Crawford doesn’t look close to ok to beat Ennis, and he appears to know that as a result of he’s not taking an opportunity to battle him.

“Crawford isn’t going to battle Jaron Ennis except somebody comes up with a load of cash, and the battle just isn’t large enough but,” stated Hearn. “Jaron Ennis isn’t going to cringe exhibiting up at press conferences, shouting and screaming. He’s the very best welterweight on the earth. He desires to win all of the belts.”

His Excellency desires Crawford to battle Ennis, however it’s unclear what sort of cash Terence would need him to take that threat at his age. Crawford-Boots can be an even bigger battle than the Madrimov match, however it’s in all probability not going to occur except it’s the one possibility for the Nebraska native.

So long as Crawford thinks there’s a chance of getting the Canelo battle, he gained’t conform to battle Ennis. Crawford agreed to battle Madrimov as a result of he thought it was a sure-thing win for him, however he didn’t think about that this man was ranges above the 40 guys he’d constructed his resume on.

“Bud is up at 154. He [Ennis] doesn’t wish to vacate his belt. He desires to win the welterweight championship undisputed. Until they give you mad cash, which doesn’t exist for that battle [Crawford-Ennis] but,” stated Hearn.
