yeah boots is catching some unfortunate smoke...i really wished he was fighting a notable 154 fighter in his debut

i still maintain the normans were at fault for the unification not happening there
Him using those slick Eddie Hearn tactics & saying "Ramos" & not clarifying which one is sneaky right there & makes him look bad lol

Trying to drag up another WW for a Jr. Middleweight debut fight is :smh:

At this point I don't even blame Eddie

Eddie also has Bam Rodriguez, Shakur, and Raymond Ford on his roster, all American fighters. But they routinely take on tough 50/50 fights to challenge themselves, so what's the difference in this situation??. Eddie is just taking orders from the Boots camp, who's so slick they are totally OK with letting the fans blame Eddie :dead:

Boots isn't in favor with Turki, I'd argue Turki is the one who is injecting relevancy in Bam, Shakur, and Ford. I can see Turki viewing Boots in a Tim Kazoo lens or entering that terrority where he is like this nikka aint serious. I`m giving Boots 1 more pass with this October fight if this nikka aint fighting for that WBA belt or Virgil then he is Boo Boo Status officially. This October fight for the IBO too so nikka finna be capping saying he 2 division world champ and gonna be 2 division unified lol.

154 is the one decision where Losses dont mean shyt cause every fight with top 10 people = Fire. I will give Lima some leeway as he may just not be a name and it wouldn't be the first time someone not known in the USA ends up being solid, but Norman Sr is saying Lima is another Taylor made boots opponent.

Lima's another slower flat footed guy with leaky defense that's tailor made to make him look dynamic. But he's a southpaw so that could potentially trouble him a bit

yeah thats what Norman Sr is saying, I think pretty much Boots can see how he feels at the weight and how it feels to take the punches and then start styling on dude. Like I said I`m giving him this one pass since this is a WBA Eliminator.

an Ideal Path imo would be
Boots vs Lima > Boots vs Tellez(I believe?) for WBA as Tellez gets upgraded prob moment Bud walks to the ring in Sept.
Virgil vs Thurman (looks like what they are saying but shyt he may was well just go straight to Fundora) > Virgil Fundora

Sept 2026 Winners of the above gauntlet unify.
