‘Boots’ faces the evidence of the face
Promoter Eddie Hearn expects Lima to give “Boots” a difficult test on Saturday night to make the fight entertaining while it lasts. Ennis (34-0, 30 food) looked thinner than his opponent, Lima (14-1, 10 COs), despite being a little heavier.
Weights
- Jaron Ennis 153.4 against Uisma Lima 153
- Guido Vianello 247.4 vs. Alexis Barriere 237
- Jose Roman 146.4 vs. Tahmir Smalls 146.8
- Sean Diaz 122 against Dennis Thompson 121.4
- Antonio Dunton-El Jr. 133.4 vs. Zaquin Moses 132.2
- James Wilkins 134.6 vs. Giorgio Visioli 135
- Hylon Williams JR 138.4 against Harley Mederos 141.6
- Naeem Parker 141.6 vs. Justin Palmieri 136.4
There is a lot of pressure on the former IBF and WBA welterweight champion Ennis to impress in his debut at 154. He spoke a lot during the build -up to the fight, and he would have to fulfill it.
Hearn also pumped up Ennis and called him the ‘successor’ to Terence Crawford. If ‘Boots’ does not look like Purse 24k Gold on Saturday, fans will be the entire Hearn and say that he has pushed the gold of Fool on them all the time.
The fact is that we do not know how good Ennis is because he has been in prose for nine years without fighting an opposition at elite level.

The Big Four turned out – why?
So far, the best name on his CV Eimantas Stanionis is a basic Slugger. It is not as if Ennis did not have the chances of fighting the cream of the crop. He was reportedly rejected against these fighters: Crawford, Devin Haney, Theofimo Lopez, and Vergil Ortiz Jr.
“I don’t see anyone at 154 hitting him. I don’t see anyone at 160 hitting him. I actually think 160 is going to be his best weight as fighter, ‘Eddie Hearn said Dazn boxTalk about Jaron Ennis. “Even at 154, he made the weight much better than normal, but it is still a struggle.
“He’s a big guy. He probably haunted 160 or 165 pounds, “Hearn says about” boots “. “This guy is an incredible talent. You’re going to see something different from him tomorrow night. Jaron Ennis has everything. ‘ Boots’ has the defensive skill, and he has the peak, the power. He will run you down and knock you out. ‘
