With some fighters, it's obvious when the promo companies are doing them dirty. Ennis team has done bad business whether it was with Showtime or with Matchroom.

I was watching Sean Zittel's podcast and the guy that was on it said he worries that Boots could end up like another Demtrius Andrade. Where he just does bad business decisions and terrible career moves over and over again where he never challenges himself, creates "ducking" scenarios out of thin air, and gets belts the easiest path possible

Definitely less than fighting. Boots
And how much is that?
Either way Norman has positioned himself to make a ton of money soon. Imagine how much he'll get paid in a Haney fight.
This KO is going viral, Norman really don't have a fan base yet so it's only up from here. It looks like the Normans gambled and won

I was sorta nervous with this fight. I'm glad he went out there and put a statement. I respect boxers that are true world champions and fight outside their city or country....many like wack ass Tank, teo and other bytch mas made boxers would retire than fight someone in another country

his punches did nothing to norman. when you dont have to respect power, you can sit there and set up whatever you want. sasaki is not a world class welterweight. they didnt even look like they belonged in the same weight class. that samurai chin is why he cant remember his last couple months.
:patrice: breh was throwing heat/at least had respectable power to me, at times Norman had to adjust so he wouldn't get caught with some bullshyt, especially when dude was swinging for the fences, Norman showed the ability to adjust to that by stepping back/fighting moving backwards to return his own heat, that's one reason dude got fukked up, Norman gave him multiple looks imo.
