Quick post then I have to get back to my research. Boots kind of reminds me of Zab Judah. A supremely physically gifted fighter from a boxing hotbed who has his father as trainer—who has huge lapses in concentration in the ring. I don’t know what they work on during camps besides Boots’ physique, but he should not be getting hit with some of these punches. He took a lot of unnecessary punishment tonight. One distinguishing factor is Boots has a way better chin than Zab. One thing Zab and Boots have in common is both are/were trained by their father and neither have/had any substantive in-ring advice to give their son (*Yoel Judah voice* Zab! You gotta open up! You gotta *throws air combos while grunting* unhhh ehhh unnnn pssttt pssstt).
It’s all in front on Boots, but he has to stop taking his opponents lightly on some too cool for school shyt. He’s taking unnecessary punishment for no damn reason, and any chin can be cracked. Zab had a good career, but he had all time great ability. Boots does too but he needs to tighten the fukk up.
