If I were his manager, I'd get some more experience, rather than fighting Bud at this point. And it's not that Ennis wouldn't have a chance at winning if they fought now. But I'd wait, because he'd have a better chance in the future, with more experience and Bud aging. Of course, Boots would want the fight as soon as possible -- that is a young lion's nature.
I respect Charlo. (I feel bad for his brother's having issues that are sideling his career.) But I anticipate Canelo hurting him, and taking him out in the second half of their fight. While Canelo is beginning on the downside of his career, he is on a very distinct level from Charlo. In fact, as Spence moves up, I'd think he could beat Charlo -- if the extreme punishment he took last night hasn't damaged him. He hadn't been active, and hadn't had to cut that weight in some time. Not to say that was the reason he lost, but he didn't have legs under him after the second round. I told my boys that the way Bud's piston-like jab made Spence lose his footing early on suggested that he had weakened himself making weight. Of course, I'm not a fan for cutting weight ..... fight at your strongest weight. Just my opinion.
