Turki Alalshikh today asked his followers on X what they think about the fight between the United Countryside Champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Teofimo Lopez. It is a fight that would require two things if it happened.

Turki would not ask fans what they thought about the battle between Ennis and Teo, if he did not think that this match would be quickly.

1. Teofimo must defeat Arnold Barboza Jr. May 2
2. Ennis successfully defends against the mandatory WBA Shakhram Giyasov

Turki did not say when he could consider the fight between shoes (34-0, 30 KO) and WBO Featherlight Krok in welterweight (21-1, 13 KO). For both, It can’t happen soon.

Ennis was raised today to Super Champion by the WBA Championship Committee and was authorized to defend against Giyasov (17-0, 10 KO) within 120 days of victory over Eimantas Stanionis on April 12.

What do you think about the fight between shoes and Teofimo?

Promoter Boots, Eddie Hearn, would probably be delighted that he would face Teofimo then instead of Giyasov. Not only the fight with Lopez for more money, but is easier for Ennis than in the face of the silver medalist of the Olympic Giyasov 2016 Olympic medalist.

Lopez does not have an attractive fight in a direct pipeline if he wins in front of Barboza Jr. (33-0, 11 KO) May 2. His options are a unification match with IBF Richardson Hitchins and Subriel Matias. These are not great fights and both would be risky for Teo.

Built -in excuse

If Turks can put Lopez to fight WBA and IBF Champion Boots Ennis, it would be a larger payment for him. In addition, it provides Teo with a built -in excuse if it loses. He can always tell his fans that he was beaten by a welterweight in the world, shoes, and they would give him a free pass to his failure. Lopez would not have such luxury if he lost to the Hitchins or Matias.

Former Master WBO Cruiser in weight weight, Chris Billiam-Smith, wants to look good, beating Brandon Grenton in his 12-round fight for the sub-underground this Saturday, in Dazn PPV, and operate victory to get a quick world championship title. Billiam-Smith vs. Glanton is fighting on the Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.

The main card starts at 17:00 BST / 12 PM ET / 9 AM Billiam-Smith (20-2, 13 KO) lost the title of WBO from Gilberto Ramirez on November 16 last year in the fight against Blood. During the fight he landed on the ramirez, but he was agreed.

Billiam-Smith occupies #4 WBC I #4 WBO. So he should be pushed in the ranking of victory over #3 WBA GLANTON (20-2, 17 KO). This fight will be more war than the last against Chris’s ramist, because the 33 -year -old GLANTON is a striking and will try to knock him out.

– Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna (average weight)
-Chris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton
– Viddal Riley vs. Cheavon Clarke

“Brandon Glanton, I saw a few of his clips. He approaches a comical style, a great puncher who can only create a great fight,” said Chris Billiam-Smith Boxing punchout About his opponent on Saturday, Glanton.

Brandon is the type of opponent with whom 34-year-old Billiam-Smith did well during his career. The only question is whether the tissue of the scars in front of his eyes had enough time to cure the fight against ramier. If Billiam-Smith begins to bleed everywhere, Glanton will operate it.

Title aspirations

“We did a homework. The training was good and we had a good camp,” said Billiam-Smith. “We had a similar height and sparring of the partners in which we came. Now it is from me to enter and do work. We have to wait and see,” said Billiam-Smith, when he thinks that he would fight for a world title.

“Yes, realistically, I think Jai [Opetaia] AND [Gilberto] Ramirez will probably fight. If I were one of them, I would look at exactly the same. It makes sense. Yes, I am interested in regaining the title of the world. Or one of these masters, I will look at Saturday.

“It is planned to win on Saturday, look good and immediately return to world titles. I am with the rankings of management bodies, as well as what I did in my career, I think I will come back there,” said Billiam-Smith to do it Seconds.

WBA has announced today that they approved WBA “ordinary” welterweight title to face the fight of Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero in the Times Square in Novel York.

Strap on the line

This will make the fight of Garcia-Romero have more rates when they meet, not just a clash that establishes a fight between Ryan and Devin Haney in October. Capturing the WBA title will make the rematch against Haney greater with the title.

Rolly and Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) occupy 2 and 3 #3 respectively in WBA rankings in welterweight. So it makes sense that the World Boxing Association will have its “regular” title on the line to fight next month in Dazn PPV.

Ryan was often criticized for never gaining a motor title during his nine -year professional career. If he captures the “ordinary” WBA welterweight belt, he can permanently close this criticism. This will confirm his career and give him certificates, which were missing in the eyes of hardcore boxing fans who pay attention to such details.

The downside of Garcia is that if he captures the “ordinary” WBA title against Rolly, he must face the winner of the fight between the world champion Super WBA Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Shachram Giyasov. Fighting one of these guys would be tough for Ryan, because both are great welterweight with excellent power and technical skills.

Ennis raised

The newly crowned WBA Ennis champion was raised to the Super Champion WBA at 147 today by World Boxing Association. Shoes (35-0, 30 KO) must defend their title against the mandatory WBA Giyasov within 120 days of winning the title Eimantas Stanionis on April 12.

“Ennis is now authorized to defend his super championships against Shakhram Giyasov – an official compulsory division claimant,” in accordance with WBA website. “In accordance with the principles of WBA Ennis, he has to face Giyasov within 120 days of victory on April 12 over Stanionis. The winner of Ennis vs. Giyasov will be required to win the Garcia vs. Romero winner.”
