Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that the 12th unification fight between welterweight champions Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will be the ‘biggest fight in the US this year’ when they go to the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hearn says this battle will show if Ennis (33-0, 29 COs) is a ‘true big’ or not. Unfortunately, on November 9 last year, Ennis looked in his last title defense against Karen Chukhadzhian in his last title defense at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Some people believe that Boots showed his true colors and that he was never as good as the hype.
Stanionis: The test
After Jaron worked after a 12-round decision, boxing fans started jumping overboard, abandoning the Ennis ship and considering him a lost case.
It wasn’t the first time Ennis looked marginally, as he had repeated poor performances against David Avanesyan, Roiman Villa and Chukhadzhian in his first fight in his first fight.
Although Ennis spoke a good game, he did not look like the same fighter as he has acted against a higher class of fighters ever since. His box -IK is not there. We saw so loud and clear when he was attended by Karen last November. Matchroom -Promotor Hearn may have repented of the buyer, and regret signing an Ennis.
If Boots looks bad against Stanionis on April 12, it will be interesting to see if Hearn keeps him on board if he stops him like a bad habit.
“It’s the biggest battle in the US this year. It’s supremacy. Bumpy ground Over the April 9 match between IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
‘It’s the best struggle in the welterweight section, and stylistically it’s such a brilliant struggle. Stanionis is an animal- all action, uninterrupted action and a very good technique. ‘ Boots’ is really against it.
Hearn wears the hat of his promoter when he claims that Ennis against Stanionis is the ‘biggest fight in the US this year’, because it is clearly not. There is an excellent map on May 2 on Times Square that has several fights that will attract more fan interest than this one.
“The Boardwalk Hall, I think we’re going to have 10,000 there. It’s going to be absolutely incredible,” Hearn said. ‘This is the biggest battle in the US this year and the best fight in the US this year. Yes, April 12 in the Boardwalk Hall. ‘
There will be a nice crowd in the Boardwalk Hall for the Ennis Stanionis event. It is up to Boots and Stanonis to offer an entertaining performance to make the fans happy. Hearn rely on boots that do a number on Eimantas, so that he is his next unification against WBO swelling champion Brian Norman Jr. Or more likely to start, or more likely, WBC champion Mario Barrios.
I feel that Hearn Norman jr. For the last time, it will save, because he is the hardest of the two remaining champions he will have to beat. The longer Ennis waits, the better it is for him, because Norman jr. Can be collected by someone, who makes the effort to fight against him.
“It is very special to collect two belts. The WBA and the Ring Magazine,” Boots said Matchroom Boxing About his struggle with Stanionis.
“It’s a good fight. Stanionis is one of the top. I think he’s one of the best on that weight, “said coach Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis said. “This is where you are going to see boots going to another level. They haven’t seen the high level yet. I think boots had a habit of beating everyone out. He forgot what got him there. That slap, box and move. ‘
