A Busier Boots?

This Saturday night from Atlantic City, welterweight contender, Jaron 'Boots' Ennis, faces Roiman Villa as the headliner on Showtime. For the highly regarded Ennis, this will be his second bout of 2023, after fighting just once last year. 2022 was one that saw him just perform for less than six...

Wow, Boots looked great. I appreciate that Villa was still defending himself, but this fight needed the towel.

I love Boots. I want to see him vs Stanionis. Give me Thurman vs Ugas.. maybe the winners/losers can fight while Bud/Spence duke it out

Boots a monster. I thought they were going to stop the fight in round 7. Those uppercuts and hooks were killing Villas. Boots upper body movements is impressive too. Kid definitely got next.

In many respects 2023 has been a banner year for the sport of boxing. While in the past you could lament the ills of the game, and the fights not taking place, objectively, this has been one where fans shouldn't really have any complaints. But it's too bad that heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury...

super excited for Andy Cruz's debut tomorrow on DAZN. Looks like he's fighter a pretty solid guy for his professional debut so hopefully 4-5 fights and he's in conversations with big names.. hes only 27 so doesn't necessarily need to rush into things but I think he's ready after a few/

His opponent this weekend has fought Haney, Keyshawan Davis, Xavier Martinez, and Hector Tanajara all to wide decisions.
