Boots Ennis

I couldn’t see a thread for the Lima fight, which surprised me. If there is one already , please merge.
It show where we are in the Boxing World.
Just saw the fight on YouTube. The guy has gone up and is a monster.
I think he’ll struggle to make a high profile just because the names are not out there.
Him versus Vergil Ortiz would be a classic.

Why not Jermell Charlo?

These Charlo guys barely fight! Going back a few years, they were both destined for big things, but for many reasons they’re not what they should be.

The light middleweight division is very strong and Ennis beating Lima does not mean he is the best at 154lb.

There is some great matchups for Boot so lets see who he faces next to see how serious he is. Ortiz has a tough fight next.

no thread was needed, i saw it as the tune up it turned out to be. high profile fights you may be right but like master says the division is stacked & has a history of the top guys fighting each other, bakhram, xander, vergil, sebastian, abass to name a few & more a tier down. i agree boots v vergil is the fight to make

side rant, this fight had a wba interim title attached, when bud has just recently vacated & abass was elevated

Frustrated with Boots and his overall path. It's to the point where, as expected, he blitzes a guy justified by the "Ibo" and is literally called an all-time great before the 1st round is over and the dust has settled . Ennis has every bit of clear talent and skill but it's like a top 6 figure fresh of the production line vehicle being content to idle in the driveway. We've been saying the same thing over years now. You don't let talent like Boots wither on the vine and fight in half darkened empty arenas. They went thru a rematch with Karen FFS, for no point whatsoever. Ennis v Ortiz is one of the most commonsense needed fights of recent times and a great match up. 154 and fans should demand it. Something tells me if we were back in the days of HBO or Showtime, we would have seen it play out already in either division. Maybe even twice.
