I think he'll do well, still so young and doesn't just brawl like alot of Japanese kickboxers, he uses his jab. Wouldn't be surprised if he joins Inoue's gym like Takei did.

The Mayweather Effect
One of the more peculiar exhibition fights. Clearly rigged/staged knockdowns. 'Rise' must have been trying to tap into some WWF style redemption narrative for Tenshin.
Either way Mayweather was happy to collect the cheque.

Ennis is a big dude too, supposedly Spence, Porter and Thurman are all big 147ers but still when I think of them against the top 154ers I see them being severely outsized, it’s like there would be a bigger jump in here than normal for some reason.
With Ennis though I see a guy that would be the same size as the top guys there.

Never really understood why wasn't it kickboxing that became the "alternative combat sport for boxing" instead of MMA.Takei also left for boxing
Seems they going where the money is
I like boxing more cause it looks more polished, punches look better and strategy is more of a factor because the longer fights but kickboxing is still often pure 3/5 rounds stand up action with these dudes kicking and punching the shyt outta each other.
I remember in the early-mid 00s I was often watching the K-1 HWs with guys like Bonjasky, Aerts, Hoost, LeBanner, Ignashov, etc. later on Schilt, Saki, Hari, Overeem, etc.
Thought their fights were pure 3 rounds action, shyt was great, rarely if ever I've seen UFC fights being that exciting, I respect ground fighting, very useful but not all that spectacular to watch as good stand up.
Lmao these cats aren't even household names to people who watch boxing regularly. $70 PPV in 2 yearsis it? Like how big you really expect Boots to get casual sports fan wise in 2 years? He has all the tools but really NO following. Im projecting but in 2023 i can assure that we gonnaif we see them headlining a $69.99 ppv
shyt the biggest boxing names today aren't household. Wilder was almost there but we saw how that went. Even 'stars' like Loma, craw, Spence are barely known outside of boxing circles

Jaron 'Boots' Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Connor Benn, Rashidi Ellis... I'm about ready to say fukk this current crop of welterweights and gone ahead and get ready for the next generation. I got a gut feeling they are gonna bring the feeling back.
