Boots under pressure
Hearn wants Ennis (33-0, 29 food) in this battle with the unbeaten Stanionis (15-0, 9 COs) to “shine” so that he can make a ‘statement’ in their main liner. He blames the last action of Boots against Chukhadzhian that he was “undermined”, but fans do not believe it.
They think Ennis is not as good as the hype about him. He built his plate against inferior guys, and when he acted against higher junk fighters, he struggled. This is the last battle for boots on his match contract. So, if he looks bad again, it won’t matter to Hearn. He will be out of his hair.
“You have a big fight with Ennis against Stanionis this Saturday. I am absolutely pumped for this battle, ‘promoter Eddie Hearn said ifl tv About this Saturday night’s fight between IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
Ennis stanionis is good. With the way Boots has fought lately, he can lose this battle on Saturday night if Stanionis takes the fight to him and can handle his pressure style. His last opponent, Karen Chukhadzhian, threw out in the championships in November last year and lost a decision in a fight in which he did well.
“I realize that I am happy in myself if we have a wonderful show. So I have struggled about Boots Stanionis since it was signed, especially the past few weeks. There is something special about Atlantic City. There is something special about Boardwalk Hall, and there is something best to the best. That’s what Boots Stanionis is, ‘says Hearn.
Ennis’s fight against Stanionis is good, but the promotion for the event was horrible. Whether it is intentional or not, Hearn has not yet interviewed to promote the opportunity as with fighters on which he is high.
On social media, fans speculate that because it is Boots’ last battle over his multi-game contract with Matchroom, Hearn does not make much effort to promote. If Ennis goes away, it will be interesting to see who he signs with. There is a top rank, PBC, Golden Boy and the TKO league.
‘IBF, WBA, Ring Magazine. This is one of the battles that you unequivocally tell you who the number 1 is in the section. That’s what we want, and it’s such a brilliant style match. Stanionis is an animal. All action and tremendous work rate and endis, for me, is a pound-by-pound fighter, but he is under the great pressure, ‘says Heren.
It is ominous to call Ennis against Stanionis ” #1 vs. #2.” There is still WBO Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr., which is seen as one of the best fighters at 147. To prove who the number 1 fighter is at Welterweight is the winner of the Ennis-Stanionis battle for Norman Jr. fighting.
All we can say is that the winner of Saturday’s battle between boots and eimantas is one of the two best fighters. It remains to be seen whether Jaron will overcome on Saturday.
Hearn’s “Big Sell”
“He has to shine on Saturday night, because if he acts as he is against (Karen) Chukhadzhian, maybe a little under motivated, he will have a very difficult night against Stanionis. I believe this is the kind of fight where greatness will really shine, and I believe Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will make a statement on Saturday.
“I can’t wait for the fight. I’m so excited about the fight. This is a massive battle for Dazn. No PPV. I am here to give it the big sale. It’s like poetry, isn’t it? It’s like watching Da Vinci put something together. This is boots against Stanionis before 9,000.
