Fans on social networks want to see Ennis overwhelming in Vergil Jr. that game would be a 50-50 issue, and it would be the first time in the boot career that the result was not secured at the time the contract was signed.
Ennis should listen to Shakur and pay attention to his advice. The money would not only be better, but would help Ennis’s career much more than stay in the 147 -pound division.
Fear of intensifying?
The promoter of Ennis, Eddie Hearn, supports him to stay in 147 to continue working to become an undisputed champion. He is trying to use the pressure to obtain the WBA champion Brian Norman Jr. and the head of WBC Belter Mario Barrios to accept fighting boots instead of offering great days of payment.
He will not work, and finally, Ennis will have to decide if he wants to dedicate many years trying to gather the last two titles. It seems stupid, but that’s what you want. You can read between the lines why the boots are reluctant to move up to 154, fault failures. Losing with types like Vergil Ortiz Jr. and other Power Punchers in the medium junior weight would quickly sink Ennis’s career during the night, closing the money he has been making a dominant weak opposition in 147.
“Boots vs. Vergil Ortiz- That is the great fight. That is the money fight right there,” said Shakur Stevenson for YSM sports media When asked who wants to see the Ennis fight of the IBF and the Welter’s weight champion, Jaron ‘boots’ Ennis after his victory in Tko’s sixth round about Stanionis Eimantas last Saturday night. “Boots vs. Vergil Ortiz. I don’t like anyone at age 147. I think it’s too dominant.”
The rejection of boots of a fight against Vergil Jr. and the rumors of $ 8 million that offered him last February allows him to know that he does not possess the self -confidence to face him. You can see how he left overboard, celebrating his victory over Stanionis last Saturday, and that he doubted himself. Reacting against a weak champion in 147 means that he does not trust himself. Ennis should have been indifferent after the fight. He would face Vergil Jr. would require that he showed courage, that he lacks.
“Certain fighters make you go to another level. It was a little to another level, but it can go to another level higher than that, “said coach Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis a File room boxing About his son, Boots Ennis. “You saw it there playing.”
There is no challenge
Ennis did not need to go to another level against Stanionis because this guy was a holder of the quality of paper quality that had never defeated anyone remarkable during his career. Boots knew it was an easy mark for him, and that’s why he fought against him. If it were Vergil Ortiz Jr. with the WELTER weight title, I don’t think Ennis had made the fight. I would have cooked with some kind of excuse.
“The real greatness with one of the best performances I have seen in a struggle of that magnitude under that kind of pressure,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “They are the type of fights in which you show how great you are. The Ennis boots jumped to the libra list at the age of 27 years of age. It is only the beginning, a future pound per pound #1.
“I hope that the other champions (in welter weight) want to try themselves because that is what he wants to do. Try Hiimelf Again the best,” Hearn said.
