Jaron ‘Boots’ is doing nicely because the IBF welterweight champion, going through nondescript opposition for Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom, however I don’t assume he’s bought an opportunity if he chooses to maneuver as much as face Bakhram Murtazaliev for his IBF junior middleweight title.
Ennis (32-0, 29 KO) is spinning his wheels at 147, hoping that sometime he’ll grow to be the undisputed champion within the division. He’ll finally work out that he’ll by no means get the possibility to battle for any of the welterweight titles as a result of mixture of the opposite champions’ monetary calls for and community and promotional points.
For Ennis’ sake, he must get up and perceive that his promoter, Hearn, received’t be capable of make the fights that he wants for him at welterweight to perform his aim. He wants to maneuver up whereas he nonetheless has youth left.
Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) would doubtless indulge Boots by giving him a shot at his IBF belt if the cash was proper. It wouldn’t be the battle that Murtazaliev desires, however he’s going to be averted by the opposite 154-lb champions after what he did to former WBO champ Tim Tszyu final Saturday evening in Orlando, Florida.
Murtazaliev shall be averted by the plague by the opposite champions now. It’ll be far worse than it was earlier than when champions had been giving Murtazaliev step-aside offers so they may keep away from him.
Why Murtazaliev beats Ennis:
– Abilities
– Work fee
– Energy
– Expertise
Ennis is a succesful fighter at 147, however he’s not proven out-of-this-world energy, and he will get hit lots. We noticed how Boots went life and loss of life with the heavy-handed Roiman Villa final yr on July eighth.
Ennis took a profession’s value of punishment towards Villa. Furthermore, Boots was made to appear like he had two left ft by Karen Chukhadzhian of their 12-round battle in January 2023. Boots seemed so unhealthy in that battle that individuals are nonetheless speaking about it to at the present time.
Murtazaliev’s energy would play an enormous consider why he would destroy Boots Ennis. He’s naturally a giant puncher. Ennis additionally has good energy, however it’s not excessive like Murtazaliev’s.
Usually, it takes Boots many rounds for him to attain knockouts, and that’s towards the lower-level opposition his administration has matched him towards. It not too long ago took Boots ten rounds to knockout Roiman Villa. In Roiman’s final battle on September 14th, he was knocked out within the third spherical by Ricardo Salas Rodriguez. That man isn’t a serious participant at 147.
Boots goes to should take some dangers together with his profession ultimately by transferring as much as 154 as a result of he’s going nowhere at 147. His promoter, Hearn, has already reached a lifeless finish attempting to get the opposite champions to battle him, and he’s not proven that he desires to fulfill their asking value. If Boots strikes up, he can face Murtazaliev and present the boxing world what he can do towards a fighter who so simply worn out Tszyu.
If Ennis had been to overcome Murtzaliev, his profession would shoot by way of the roof as a result of the Russian’s recognition is sky-high after the way in which he demolished Tszyu. Beating Murtazaliev now could be value 100 victories over Karen Chukhadzhian, and that’s the type of opposition that he’s going to be caught preventing if he chooses to remain at 147 together with his hopeless dream of at some point within the far distant future, capturing the undisputed championship.
A battle between Ennis and Murtazalev could be seen as a 50-50 match. Followers could be enthusiastic about watching the competition as a result of it might be like a monster film. As an alternative of Boots preventing the random guys that his promoter Hearn digs up for him, he’ll be going through somebody who might beat him.
