I like Bill and Devin but him saying you needed elite level eyes to see and understand what Haney was doing in his last fight is ridiculous. You had actual pro-fighters call Dev out for that performance. You demand a high pay day you should put on a high level performance. I'm glad he got the win I'm not interested in Ryan vs Haney 2 but I would watch it if they made that fight.

Also when Bill said Dev would beat boots because of how he looked against Karen basically I checked out mentally.

At 140 and 147 the only people I think have a solid chance against boots is Gary Antuanne Russell, and Brian Norman JR, everyone else getting beat either by KO or decision.

I agree......but then again Michael Spinks would be a muthafukka

Wow, this is a great fight on paper, both elite fighters and elite athletes.

Hopefully Ennis can break Lopez before the bell even rings, he's weak mentally if you know how to psyche him out, as has been proven in his previous losses. (Yes, he lost to both Kambosos, who psyched him out something pretty, but he lost that fight to Martin as well, terrible decision).

I like Ennis big in this if it happens.

Teo never even fought at 147 and his power is solid but not earth shattering at 140.

A lot of ppl seem to think Teo fights are unpredictable depending on what version shows up on fight night but imo it’s about what style the opponent is rather than Teo’s form.
If the opponent comes forward or is too stationary then Teo looks great (Commey, Loma, Taylor, Barboza) but if the opponent boxes he struggles (Kambosos, Martin, Ortiz).

Ennis has the skills to outbox him and he has a great reach advantage too.

That's a good point, people always underestimate how long it takes to acclimatise to a new weight class physically, let alone take the shots. We just saw this the other weekend with Garcia and Haney.

Ennis got a granite chin too, all that Philly sparring has made him extremely durable, massive 147 too.

Surely Lopez won't take this fight?

Only way I could see Lopez taking the fight if it’s for Jaron’s IBF belt and they fight under IBF rules with the weight clauses. Boots last fight was the first time we’ve seen him in a while not drained and they said he weighed 165 on fight night. He’s big for Lopez with the speed and power and he’s durable he can break him down. Lopez last fight he looked great boxed well through the jab like I’ve been waiting for but it’s a tough task with boots especially at 147 with no clause.

Just heard from Dan Rafael that the David Benevidez team is thinking of fighting either Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde

Both would be real interesting fights, and both can possibly give Benevidez hell
