I think Boots is fighting this way because dude is not hurting him and he is anxious for the knockout...but I think its bad defensive discipline...dangerous to think you just gonna turn it on when you face a hard puncher...and he is so anxious for the KO, no jabs at all

I think Karin is a good fighter but Boots suppose to look better than this...Ukraine got the fighters man

Karen has hit Boots like 8/9 times clean across the chin this past round and Boots didn't seem fazed at all......

But damn, that's still not a good look. A more competent fighter would take advantage of those defensive lapses and actually hurt Boots
Right, boots will definitely get knockout by those other fighter who have power in their punches.

Yeah, he needs to move up...its time...lots of killers at 154...and he will get fights

I get why he tries so hard for the KO...that brings the hype and the money...but lets get the defensive discipline up

People either always lose or look shaky once they go to Eddie Hearn for some reason LOL

Can't get hit flush that much against Ortiz

Hell, Bud's next fight is at 154


Depending on how that goes...

Boots may have to see him

Boots did take a lot of shots tonight.
Finally showed some vulnerability, but that's the fight game.
He showed he's got a really good chin.
Boots vs Virgil is gonna be epic.
They might break the compubox record for punches thrown.
I think if he fights that kind of fight with Virgil he would be playing right into Ortiz hands

Fortunately he doesn't have to fight that way to win (I hope)...was a little disappointed that there didn't seem to be an adjustment last night...for how great I think Boots could potentially be, there should have been an adjustment...like a plan B

Can't take nobody from Ukraine light either

Title days are over. Exhibition fighter now.

Great money in it no doubt with the right matchups.

People still wanna see him and AJ. They should have done it when the stakes were highest.
I don't think AJ took him seriously at the time, and there wasn't quite the same money in it as AJ's other offers.

Or maybe AJ did "fear" that right hand......

The potential NOW for either of them to be destroyed is there now.

I'd still lean Wilder's way because even though slower he's still quicker to the draw than AJ. And AJ just goes to shit if he gets blitzed early.

Wilder doesn't wanna get clocked anymore though judging by his fight with Zhang. I'd like to see who gets hit first in that one and how they react.
