Facts. I feel Boots doesn't realize he's running into another fighter who also likes to trade on the inside for 12 rounds. Stanioinus gonna shock some people

I think it boils down to can he hold up. Boots has a habbit of being sloppy cause he out classes folks by so much so we will see

Facts. And when people say "Bu bu when Boots faces better competition, he'll be more sharper"

Idk... that literally makes no sense

Im interested to see if Norman Jr can get Barrios especially with Bob talking anout getting closer to PBC.

Stanoinous so far appears to be the least flawed champ (dont know if i can say best), Barrios has seem the bigger stages, and Norman seems a wild card.

If Boots can win then one would think its smooth sailing, but with rurmors of Turki wanting Teo in the mix im hoping that happens AFTER the dust settles.

Devin Haney is #1 in WBC And Ryan is top 5 WBA and his fight eith Rolly is for an interim or some shyt.

So if the next yr plays out we could (i assume the business wants this) see the combo of Boots/Devin/Ryan for 147 undisputed likely Fall 2026

Norman impressed me in his fight. Made an adjustment and demonstrated that he might have top level power in the division. Still think Boots (or staniosis) beats him but I wonder if it’s a situation where boots should have just gave him the money to get him at that stage of his development as opposed to letting him build confidence in televised fights and becoming better
Norman Sr will look like a genius if he can get his son a bag for the barrios fight
