Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis said last Saturday night after the fight that he may have to go up to 154 if he couldn’t get the last two remaining fights against Welterweight Champions Brian Norman Jr. and Marios Barrios. This seems to be the case.

Ennis (34-0, 30 cos) Sounds naive About the mindset of the other belt containers at 147. He looks like a big juice, slow to understand his situation. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, should not make him humor to make him think that he is hope that he can eventually capture all the titles at 147 to achieve his useless goal of becoming undisputed.
Hearn should tell it as it is to boots. He does not help boots by playing with his dream-like fantasy world vision of a future where he will capture all the belts at 147, be praised and received the glory. It is spiritual and occurs as madness. Ennis is like a child, and Hearn must lead him because he dreams of a future that will never exist.
Milk the belts
Barrios and Norman jr. Will not fight against him unless the money is life -changing, and it will not be. 1.8 million dollars is not the kind of money after spending for the two champions to agree to fight boots.
They know that it is better to fight easy opposition and milk their titles for as long as possible. Norman jr. (27-0, 21 COs) probably already have a better paid battle in the pipeline against contender Jin Sasaki. After that, there are other battles that can take Norman that will pay well.
Barrios has battles against Errol Spence and Manny Pacquiao who will pay him much more than a one -time $ 1.8 million to fight mimics.
Ennis may not like the idea of daring to move his skin to 154 to enter the dangerous waters full of predators, but he will have to do so. He is about to turn 28, and he can’t afford to wait for Barrios and Norman Jr. To fight against him. They won’t do that because The money is not enough for them to trade their titles for one small payday.
Not “top tiger”
“If I fight against the best guys, good guys, that’s what you’re going to see. You’re going to see a whole other way. When I’m in the ring, I’m in my happy place. If I have a top man, and I fight for something, it’s a very different story, “Boots Ennis says in the ring after his victory over Eimantas Stanionis.
Ennis sounds so childish here. He is so lost.
I don’t want to shoot holes through Ennis’s dream world, but Stanionis wasn’t a ‘top-of-the-line’ fighter. He was always a limited fighter who struggled against the rand’s opposition and won the WBA ‘ordinary’ belt against Radzhab Butaev by a razorless 12-round decision in 2022, and he only fought twice for the past four years. He was an inactive, easy-to-hit ham and Egger, and that is the real reason why Ennis was in his ‘Happy Place’ last Saturday night.
Dinosaur views
“I don’t even want to talk about it. They have their mouths too much. I don’t even want to address it, ‘said coach Derek’ Bozy ‘Ennis said Ring magazine When asked about his thoughts on Brian Norman Jr. The next opponent of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis after his victory over Eimantas Stanionis last Saturday night.
“If you come up with all guest no brakes, he’s going to come across something, and what did he do? He encountered something, ‘said Bozy about Stanionis fighting recklessly, who was in the end his downfall when he was knocked out in sixth place.
Bozy seems to be behind the times and does not realize that Brian Norman Jr. ‘s trash is part of the build -up of the struggle. Papa Ennis works from an ancient era in front of the internet, social media, UFC and cable -TV, when fans had fewer choices. Nowadays, fighters should speak trash, which Norman jr. Do admirable. It is not his fault that Bozy and Boots Ennis are stuck in the old ways.
