Boots Vs Zayas

Well that was quick.....Zayas getting punched around a lot....

 

Zayas has a shite chin

 

Actually his chin is decent...considering all the sharp/clean punches he got hit with in that first round.

 

Boots chin is also shite

 

ROUND 3 was EPIC....both seriously hurt...BOOTS hurt for most of the ROUND wobbling/holding on....

Zayas mighta missed his shot for the UPSET...

 

BOMBS away....from both these fuckers....BOots look sharper...but he still get hurt every now and then....

 

Boots gets hit too much. Would cost him against Vergil, imo.

 

Zayas down again....

 

Zayas has no head movement

 

it's over.....too bad we never got Boots v Bud...

 

Defense is not Boots forte, but his offense is sublime

 

Round 3 n 4 of this fight will encourage Ortiz to make the fight with Boots…

 

Bud would have executed Boots.

 

Turned out to be a helluva scrap. Boots just on another level but Zayas put up a good fight before succumbing to his power. Now is the time to finally see Boots against Ortiz or Fundora next. Those two can really test him.

 

Ortiz will hopefully it happens next…before the end of the year.

Fundora will get it worse than Xander…

 

I watched the full highlights. Three head-to-head predictions:

1. I would worry about Boots against Vergil. But Vergil's prime is probably gone due to inactivity and promotional problems just like Mikey Garcia's prime.

2. Boots-Fundora would be a great action fight, but Boots would light Fundora up in the end.

3. Bud is his prime would have kicked the living shit outta Boots.

 

Agreed. Styles make fights, and Fundora is hittable his own damn self.

I really am worried about Boots' chin and leaky defense against Vergil. I like Boots more outta the two, but I gotta be objective.

Had the fight not gotten scrapped by Golden Bitch, I gotta say that Ortiz probably would have won by stoppage.

Ortiz aint perfect either, but its just in Boots Philly DNA to war, and I dont think he can win a war with Vergil if he's getting rocked badly by Xander.

 

The main thing is -- we need to forever put to bed the notion of Boots competing with Crawford. Could he be competitive now? Yes, Bud is an old man and Boots is 29.

Crawford at 29 would fuckin destroy Boots. It'd be a massacre. That much is VERY CLEAR.

 

yea, i dont see that at all. crawford is never having an easy fight with ennis. i agree crawford at 29 would win. especially since ennis was 19 or 20

 

You know exactly what I meant.

Boots right now versus Crawford at 29.

I'll have to disagree with you. I think prime Crawford would put Boots away before the late rounds. Bud in his prime is just better at everything. EVERYTHING.

Raw handspeed might be pretty close, but Bud's brain processes 50x faster than Boots' brain, so Boots has no edge there.

 

Id take ennis if they fought in the last 3 years when it seemed possible. It would be competitive either way and crawford knew it

 

A better question is probably Boots now versus prime Spence.

I would take Ennis. I think he's too fast and powerful for any version of Spence, but... if prime Spence got Boots hurt all bets would be off. Young Spence was a good finisher.

Still, I'd say Boots by stoppage over Spence in a war.

 

It would be interesting to see what alvarez honestly thinks who woulda won if crawford and ennis fought now or last year

 

I dont see Ennis ever winning over Crawford. I think similar to Teo, you overrate him.

 

you mean future 3 division champion Lopez? once he disposes of romero and parro that will make him unified in ANOTHER division

 

Hopefully Ennis vs Fundora is next. Boots by stoppage but a violent fight while it lasts.
