Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis moves up to 154 pounds to struggling which is welterweight

Promoter Eddie Hearn says the United Welterweight Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is “Move” to 154. The decision was made after his team made tests that determined that Ennis (34-0, 30 COs) underperformed because of his struggle to gain weight for the 147 pound division. He grew the division.

Hearn says Ennis will fight in August or September, and he is open for a fight between him and the WBC -Tussentage junior middleweight champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr., if not him, it will be someone else fighting in his debut on 154.

Boots Ennis: 154 Pound Move

Hearn says Ennis was only ‘50%’for his unification fight against WBA Welterweight Champion Eimantas Stanionis on April 12. He believes that he has moved up to 154 with Jaron, he will be 100%, and fans will be able to see how much better he is at full power.

“Boots are moving up. Unfortunately, to the Stanionis fight, he had his team around him, the doctors, the tests, and what they basically say is that boots are underperforming for his abilities,” Eddie Hearn said Fighting type. “You saw him on Fight Week. It takes hard work (to make 147). ‘

Boxing fans have noted for some time now that Ennis looked, and they wanted him to move up to 154 to adopt the bigger name. The Welterweight section also has no big names. The champions at 147 that Boots should fight for his goal to become unchanged would probably claim a significant amount of money, and it is not worth it.

“The incredible thing is that he did so to Stanionis with 50% of his physical capabilities,” says Hearn. “What he says and what his team says. Sooner or later, I’m not saying that you’re going to get a Keyshawn moment, but you can underperform in the ring, cut a nightmare weight, and it’s just going to catch you up. “

Hearn sounds glad that Ennis is planning to move in weight. It is useless that boots must remain at 147 to kill himself to make weight, as he will probably be prevented from fighting for the WBC title against the Mario Barrios winner against Manny Pacquiao match. Whoever comes up as the winner of that fight will avoid Ennis and focus on defending it against fighters such as Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia or Conor Benn.

“I like the theo fight, and so do boots. But it was like, “I can act to the best of my abilities at 147,” says Hearn. “The answer is,” I can probably perform well enough to win, but not to the best of my abilities. “So, if you see boots at 154, you will see what I’m talking about. “

It sounds like Ennis was concerned about the loss of theofimo. This is surprising, because the way he performed against Stanionis in April in April would be more than enough to defeat Lopez. Even that drained version of Ennis would be too much for theofimo.

“It is likely that the belts (IBF and WBA Welterweight) will be evacuated,” Hearn said. ‘We’re going to meet this week and make a final decision. But yes, it’s time to move to 154, and he is now united at 147. It’s time to become a world champion of two divisions. ‘

If Boots does not evacuate his IBF and WBA welterweight titles, he will wish he did later, because as I mentioned, he will not have the opportunity to fight for the last two remaining belts. The popular fighters, Haney and Ryan Garcia, will not fight against him. They know they would lose.

“They said,” Would you fight for Vergil Ortiz in August? “And we said, ‘Yes. “And then they came back and said,” Gemil was not ready for August. ” I said, ‘We are happy. We are talking to Dazn right now.

As ortiz jr. Is not ready to fight Ennis in August, he should go to IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev or WBC Champ Sebastian Formella.

“We want to be involved in all the biggest battles. Obviously he wants to win a world title, and there is a good chance that Vergil can get the championship. So, yes, all in all the big battles with a real physically 100% boots Ennis, which is a frightening proposal, given the actions he has given against Stanionist,” says Hearing.
