Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis should transfer to 154 to benefit from the cash fights towards fighters like Vergil Ortiz Jr., Terence Crawford, Sebastian Fundora, and Tim Tszyu. He doesn’t want to remain on the empty 147 division together with his trivial objective of turning into undisputed.
We simply noticed a really poor-looking Vergil get dropped twice and given a win over WBC Junior middleweight champion Serhii Bohachuk final Saturday.
Vergil Ortiz: Simple Goal
That efficiency confirmed that Crawford would simply beat Vergil Ortiz if His Excellency Turki Alalshikh selected to make that combat subsequent. As soon as Crawford beats Vergil, his reputation will plummet, and he gained’t be value something for Boots Ennis. It’s unhealthy
If Boots Ennis can get to Vergil Ortiz earlier than Crawford, he can destroy him in an enormous cash combat after which use his reputation to face all the highest names at 154. It doesn’t matter if Vergil avoids Ennis at 154 if he strikes up as a result of many different well-known fighters will combat him in that division. Vergil’s promoters at Golden Boy will seemingly preserve defending him till they get the Crawford match, however that’s okay. Ennis can combat different notable fighters at 154.
Giving up on the 147 is precedence one for Boots Ennis as a result of he’s spinning his wheels on this division. If he or his promoters lack confidence in his means to combat at 154, it’s a good suggestion to remain at 147.
That’s the conclusion that some followers are beginning to imagine about Boots as a result of he and his promoters should know that his reputation gained’t enhance by staying at 147 to turn into undisputed. Additionally they should know that he’ll make much less cash staying at welterweight than shifting as much as 154, the place they might have many extra choices.
Leaving 147 Behind is Essential
Boots Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) must neglect his superficial objective of turning into an undisputed champion at 147 as a result of that won’t additional his profession, rework him right into a famous person, or earn him some huge cash.
Boots will spend 1-3 years of his profession attempting to turn into the undisputed champion at welterweight, but it surely gained’t flip him right into a star as a result of the fighters he’ll face to win the final three remaining belts aren’t common sufficient for him to get something from beating them.
Ennis and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, assume he will be constructed right into a star like Crawford by turning into undisputed at 147. They don’t perceive that Crawford didn’t turn into common as a result of he gained undisputed titles. He turned well-known due to his win over Errol Spence. If Crawford had moved up weight to 154, he would have turn into common a lot sooner in his profession.
