Podhost Shawn Porter ripped into IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, saying he’s “overrated” and desires to maneuver as much as 154 after his abysmal efficiency in his rematch in opposition to Karen Chukhadzhian on November ninth.
Porter doesn’t say how he thinks that Ennis will enhance going as much as 154, as that weight class is much better than the mushy jobs that he’s been dealing with at 147 in that emptied-out, barren, lifeless desert.
Boots may transfer as much as 154 for his subsequent combat in February if he and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, comply with the Vergil Ortiz Jr. conflict. That’s a make-or-break combat for the younger Boots. Hearn may have to start out serious about dumping him if he loses as a result of there might be no level in holding Ennis.
Going as much as 154 will push Boots Ennis into fights the place he may get uncovered quickly and made to look far worse than he did in his two fights in opposition to Chukhadzhian and in his matches with David Avanesyan and Roiman Villa.
The previous world champion Porter says that for all of the hype about Boots Ennis’ profession, he fought solely as soon as in 2022 in opposition to Custio Clayton and two fights in 2023 in opposition to Chukhadzhian and Roiman Villa. Now, we get the Karen rematch with Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs), wherein he seemed worse than the primary combat with him.
Ennis had stated because the combat with Chukhadzhian was signed that he was going to “Have my enjoyable” and get a knockout. What a joke. He couldn’t do something with the Ukrainian expertise and was fortunate that he gassed out.
If something, Chukhadzhian is the one who improved dramatically and seemed just like the second coming of Floyd Mayweather Jr. with the pinpoint potshots he was hitting Boots with all evening. He made Ennis look so dangerous that even his followers loudly booed him in his hometown on the Wells Fargo Middle in Philadelphia.
“Boots is overrated. He had one combat in 2022 for the entire coaching that he does. 2 fights in 2023 for all of that coaching. He wants to maneuver as much as 154 lbs,” stated Shawn Porter on his YouTube channel, ripping Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis as being an “overrated” fighter.
Right here’s the issue: If Boots strikes as much as 154, he’s going to must face these killers, and they’ll do far worse to him than Chukhadzhian did:
– Terence Crawford
– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– Tim Tszyu
– Charles Conwell
– Erickson Lubin
– Sebastian Fundora
– Serhii Bohachuk
The Ennis-Chukhadzhian scores have been 119-107, 117-109 and 116-110. The combat was a lot nearer than the scores the three judges who labored the competition turned in, but it surely wasn’t a shock that they scored it huge for Boots. This was his hometown, they usually don’t get a variety of fascinating fights in that metropolis these days.
