WBA junior middleweight champion Terence Crawford (pictured) offered some advice to a potential oppoent, namely IBF welterweight champion Jaron "Boots" Ennis. Fighting in his hometown of Philadelphia on Saturday, Ennis (33-0) defeated Karen Chukhadzhian but really had to work hard to win a bout in which he was the heavy favorite. Although the outcome was not in doubt, Ennis' defense was a bit shaky and he was clearly frustrated with his inability to finish off the challenger. Here is what Crawford advised Ennis on social media: "I did [not] see the fight, but I heard about it. Stay focused and keep working on your craft. Every nights not going to be the same. Never get to comfortable in this game, if you trying to get to the mecca of the sport. Stay on your mission because all it takes is one slip up."
