Shakur Stevenson says he wants to see Jaron “Boots” Ennis fights in Vergil Ortiz Jr. I feel that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) is “Too dominant” For everyone aged 147, if he stays in the weight class. Stevenson perceives Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KO) as a fight for Ennis.

(Loan: Mark Robinson)

Facilitates in social media that mostly want to see how Ennis is fighting Vergil Jr., this match will be 50-50, and for the first time in Boots career the result was not ensured when the contract was signed.

Ennis should listen to Shakur and listened to his advice. The money would not only be better, but would aid in Ennis’s career much more than stay in the 147 pounds ward.

Fear of acceleration?

ENNISA promoter, Eddie Hearn, supports him to stay in 147 to continue working on the undisputed champion. He tries to utilize pressure to force WBO master Brian Norman Jr. And the owner of the WBC Mario Barrios belt to agree to fight shoes, and not offer them great payments.

This will not work, and ultimately Ennis will have to decide if he wants to spend many years, trying to round the last two titles. It seems stupid, but that’s what he wants. You can read between the lines, why the shoes are reluctant to move to 154 – depending on the failure. Losing with such guys such as Vergil Ortiz Jr. And others Power Punchers at Junior Middle Wweight would quickly sink Ennis’s career day by day, excluding money, which made the needy opposition dominate at 147.

“Shoes vs. Vergil Ortiz- this is a great fight. This is a fight for money,” said Shakur Stevenson Sports media YSM Asked who he wants to see the IBF and WBA welterweight master, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, after his winning TKO in the sixth round over Eimantas Stanionis last Saturday night. “Shoes vs. Vergil Ortiz. I don’t like him or anyone at the age of 147. I think he is too dominant.”

Rejection of the fight with Vergil Jr. And rumors worth $ 8 million, which he was offered in February last year, informs that he has no faith to face him. You can see how Ennis went overboard, celebrating his victory over Stanionis last Saturday and that he doubted. Reacting in this way against the frail master at the age of 147 means that he is not confident. Ennis should have been nonchalant after the fight. Introduction against Vergil Jr. It would require Jaron’s courage, which is missing.

“Some warriors make you go to a different level. He went a bit to a different level, but he can go to the next level above – said Derek “Bozy” coach Matchroom boxing O His Son, Boots Ennis. “You saw him playing there.”

No challenge

Ennis did not have to go to the next level against Stanionis, because this guy was a master of paper who did not beat anyone noteworthy during his career. Boots knew it was an effortless sign for him and that’s why he fought him. If it were Vergil Ortiz Jr. WBA has a welterweight title, I don’t think Ennis will fight. He would cook with some excuse.

“The real size with one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in the fight for this size under this type of pressure,” said Eddie Hearn promoter. “This is a kind of fights in which you show how great you are. Ennis shoes jumped on the list of pounds for pounds at the age of 27. This is just the beginning-a pound for a pound #1.

“I hope other masters [at welterweight] You want to test yourself because that’s what he wants. It’s best to check Himimelf agist, “said Hearn.

I am often asked why I prefer boxing than mixed martial arts. I always answer with a vague claim that boxing is cleaner. And because of purity I do not mean morally pure. Indeed, forces standing behind, say, UFC are perhaps less shaded than forces behind a professional boxing. What I mean about cleaning is sharper. Mixed martial arts can be explosive, and fighters have more weapons to work, for example kicks and removal, but what makes me preference for boxing, you can best understand that Jaron “boots” ennis in action. This is especially true when it comes to the extraordinary performances of Ennis against Eimantas Stanionis last week in Atlantic City.

Stanionis, which had a WBA welterweight title, was not a joke. He was a high pressure, an undefeated world champion. There was a solid reason to believe in advance that a confident lithum can simply cause nervousness. Apparently it wasn’t supposed to be. Why? Because Ennis, the IBF champion, was much better. In Saturday’s projection there were times when it seemed that two men should not divide the same ring, so there was a huge difference in talents and skills. Stanionis was and is a very good warrior – but it’s time to admit that Ennis can be great.

Saturday’s fight was not a fight, but she was stimulating and presented a kind of performance, which she simply will not see in the octopus. For Ennis, he was able to keep the distance, avoid impact and provide his own shots. Stanionis had his moments, but they never constituted anything. And eventually the stanionis corner decided to stop the fight because of the health of their battered warrior. It was a wise and mental decision. It was also a real star performance from Ennis from Philadelphia, one of the best sports that provided to fans this year.

Ennis is not a kind of warrior who can be successfully imagined by switching from boxing to mixed martial arts, as the legendary Holly Holm did. The man works best in accordance with the demanding rules of boxing, in which fists and leg work perform hefty lifting. One thing that a man has in common with mixed counterparts of martial arts is the ability to end fights early. Ennis is far from a skillful defensive fighter. It is rather “the one who uses a combination of liquidity and power. This is an impressive thing … and a pointed presentation of how violent boxing can be.

Paulie Malignaggi says that Shakur Stevenson may need to lower his salary by offering part of his purse to lure the ephemeral WBC champion, William Zepeda to fight him. He believes that Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) is avoided by the best guys at the age of 135 because he is so good.

Remuneration proposal

To force these fighters, such as Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) to fight him, he will have to give up his purse. Malignaggi believes that Shakur’s victory over Zepeda will “force” greater fighting with Gervont Davis.

It is more likely that it will work in the opposite. The impressive victory of Stevenson over Zepeda will forever close the door to the fight with Tank Davis, especially if Shakur runs all night with the Mexican lethargic.

He will have to move around the ring throughout the fight, because if he stands and fights with Zepeda, he will be chewed. Tevin Farmer consumed many penalties in the first six rounds of his last fight with Zepeda, and the only reason he was not detained is that he has a perfect chin.

Shakura promoter, Eddie Hearn, has money to invest in him if he wants to exploit some of his company’s cake to get Zepeda. For a popular warrior, such as Zepeda, it will be pricey. Everything Hearn must offer Zepeda $ 5 millionHe will agree and then hopes that Shakur will make his part without winning. Hearn is scanty and tight, it will cause Stevenson to exist in the shade as long as he stays in the match.

If he is booed by fans, as if he was against Edwin de Los Santos and Jeremiah Nakathlia, he can forget about Tank.

Saudi money has disappeared

The money that according to Shakur will be from the Saudis is no longer after his last fight with Josh Padley on February 22 in Riyadh. Some fans believe that Saudis gave up Stevenson after this terrible performance against the part -time boxer Padley, who fought with a very tedious fight.

“It’s a bit disappointing in which Shakur was in this business. I feel that he is a great warrior,” said Paulie Malignaggi to WarriorSpeaking of how Shakur Stevenson was unable to get the fights he wanted. “It is probably the best lightweight in the world.”

Shakur did not defeat anyone in a slight importance to get the recognition that Malignaggi was overwhelming on him. Stevenson’s fight with Edwin de Los Santos should be a draw or victory for De los Santos. The judges gave it to Shakur, but many fans believe that it was because of his popularity. He shouldn’t lose.

In addition, Shakura’s victories were at a low level of players: Josh Padley [the electrician]An inactive Artem Harutynaan, who took a loss, and little -known Shuichiro Yoshino.

I am a black sheep of boxing, I love it 😈

Avoidance

“Perhaps a situation in which he may need a little reduction in salary to get these great fights and try to determine his performance,” said Malignaggi. “It sucks, I know. Only in boxing you can be so good that you are not avoided. No other sport does it.”

It is unlikely that this match does not happen, unless Shakur does not dominate the majority of his purse so that William Zepeda is worth fighting with him. Golden Boy and Zepeda apparently saw Shakura’s fight with de los Santos and will know after watching this competition that the winning decision against him would be impossible.

If the judges give Shakur rounds for landing lightweight blows, holding and running, Zepeda will not have a chance to win. In order for Zepeda to have a chance, the fight would have to be staged on a neutral territory in Mexico.

“When you are so good, they have to go through you to be the best, or they can’t be the best. In boxing you can be so good that sometimes you are avoided if you are not in the right situation and everyone plays the ball without you,” said Malignaggi.

The problem is that Shakur did not show that he is “so good” for top -class fighters at the age of 135 to want to fight him. He showed that he is a runner, a tedious runner and is regularly booed when he stands in the face of the opposition with any pop in their blows. It is not popular and many lightweight years from the implementation of PPV status.

Basically, he is known for its activities in social media on the current promoter X. Shakur, Eddie Hearn, could not be transformed into a star and did not invested the cake so as not to get the fight yet to become a home brand, fighting with William Zepeda and Gervont Davis.

Stevenson’s counseling

“It’s crazy for me because I think Shakur is a lightweight premium world in a lightweight division that has good fighters,” said Malignaggi. “I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe take some cut to try to fight Zepeda and then dominate Zeda. This will force more fights in this way, because then you will dominate a guy like Zepeda.

“I don’t know anymore. It’s such a stupid business. There is a crazy sum of money in it. It moves in a strange way. People play favorite. There is a lot of politics because there is something if there is a lot of money, but it gets so frustrating,” said Malignaggi.
