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.

Errol Spence Jr’s comeback opponent and date finally confirmed

Errol Spence Jr will make his long-awaited return this summer as he faces the former world champion away.

The 36-year-old has not fought since losing his three welterweight world titles in July 2023. when he suffered a nine-round defeat to Terence Crawford during the battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Before their meeting, many suspected Spence was the top dog at 147 pounds, even after a life-threatening car accident in 2019.

He eventually recovered from the traumatic incident with back-to-back victories over Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas, but suffered an undisputed defeat against Crawford.

As a result, Spence is set to make his long-overdue move to 154 pounds before his next appearance, with Report from the boxing scene that he will face former super welterweight champion Tim Tszyu on July 25 in Australia.

Canelo Camp announces Resendiz-Munguia as the winner next

Image: Canelo Alvarez Camp Signals Resendiz-Munguia Winner as Next Move

Eddy Reynoso may have said more than he intended when discussing Canelo Alvarez’s next move, as his comments pointed less to Christian Mbilli and more to the winner of next week’s Jaime Munguia-Armando Resendiz fight

Canelo is expected to return to Riyadh for the season in September after recovering from surgery on his left elbow. Reynoso told Ring magazine that the plan remains super middleweight and named several possible opponents, including Mbilli. However, the strongest language in the interview was the conversation about the May 2 fight between Munguia and Resendiz for the WBA title.


“This time it’s Munguia against Resendiz in a pan-Mexico fight on a pan-Mexico card,” Reynoso told Ring Magazine, discussing Cinco de Mayo weekend. “This is going to be an amazing fight and we are prepared to win. This fight is going to be so good that it will steal the show. They have the ingredients to distract from the main event.”

This was unique because Reynoso trains Munguia and has a direct stake in the outcome, but it also sounded like early preparation for what comes next. If Munguia wins, a rematch with Canelo will be an straightforward sell to the Mexican crowd and an straightforward one to build to. If Resendiz wins, he will arrive with the belt and fresh momentum.

After his recent victory over Lester Martinez, Reynoso mentioned Mbilli as a “massive challenge,” but the tone was different. This sounded like one option on the list as the Munguia-Resendiz fight gained full popularity.

Canelo’s team has also ruled out other routes. Reynoso said the David Benavidez fight is now over and suggested there is little chance of seeing it again. Staying at 168 pounds also reduces the likelihood of a rematch with Dmitry Bivol.

This leaves less room than it initially seemed. When camps start praising one fight with such a hard month ahead of time, it’s usually worth paying attention to.

Victor Ortiz was knocked out by Floyd Mayweather, but names an opponent who was ‘much better’

Victor Ortiz got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather but names the opponent who was ‘much better’

Floyd Mayweather’s last knockout victory over a legal opponent came in 2011 against Victor Ortiz, but despite the stoppage loss, the fighter known as “Vicious” claims he once fought a much better opponent.

It was a highly controversial moment when Mayweather knocked out Ortiz for the WBC welterweight title more than a decade ago, and the fourth round of their fight turned out to be full of drama.

Ortiz threw combinations on the ropes against Mayweather, but then got reckless and led with his head, prompting the referee to deduct a point.

With Ortiz paying no attention to the resumption of the fight, Mayweather fired a tough shot that knocked down and then knocked out his opponent, proving the elderly adage to always protect yourself.

Mayweather is undoubtedly the biggest name Ortiz has ever adopted, but while the boxing legend can be considered one of the best of all time, Ortiz told TalkSport that Andre Berto was better.

“He (Mayweather) is not the best opponent I’ve faced. Without a doubt, not. The best opponent I’ve faced was Andre Berto; he was much better. Andre Berto is a top-shelf pound-for-pound king. He knocked me down, I knocked him down, he got up, he knocked me down again.”

“This man showed everything: quality, heart, skill. Whatever, he’s got it. Someone like Floyd has what? Counter, running? That same year, I bought him some sprint shots at a press conference. My brother also bought him a box of tampons.

“But Andre Berto is special. I have the utmost respect for him. He has power in both hands; he is the total package. Someone with Floyd can’t compete with that.”

Ortiz defeated Berto to win the WBC welterweight title in a fight before facing Mayweather, which would be the first defeat of Berto’s professional career.

Berto’s final record was 32 wins and 6 losses, and during their meeting in September 2015, he suffered a one-sided defeat to Mayweather himself.

Mayweather competed just once again after the Berto fight, when he knocked out MMA fighter Conor McGregor in August 2017, although he is scheduled to return to fight former opponent Manny Pacquiao in September provided that the current problems can be solved.
