IBF Welterweight Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis both successfully weighed in today at the weigh-in for their unification on Saturday, April 12, Live on daznWith the event starting at 20:00 ET / 17:00 pt of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Weighing in success
– Ennis 146 1/2 vs. Stanionis 146 3/4
“He said, ‘I really want to unite. This is one of the reasons I signed with the match room. I thought you could have the big fights, ” Eddie Hearn told Fight Hub TV About what Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis recently told him when he asked him if he wanted to move to 154.
Ennis must have been assertive with Hearn and told him that it is a better career movement to move to the junior middleweight to chase greater battles than to stay at 147, and to like Eimantas Stanionis and Brian Norman Jr. Fighting against these guys is not as impressive as Ennis would be to go up to 154 to stare at the killers in the divisions. Welterweight is more a hiding place for Jaron to avoid the dangerous guys at 154.
Doubt about Ennis
“There was a lot of pressure to bring about the battle (Stanionis unification). Respect him because he wants to fight one of the best in the section. It’s the right battle for Jaron Ennis to show everyone that the hype is genuine. Stanionis is a phenomenal fighter,” Hearn says.
Stanionis is not the struggle that will prove that Ennis is not a hype. The fights that will prove that it is Brian Norman Jr., Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez. If Ennis can beat those fighters, he will have proven that he is not in poor division. He came at the right time when Errol Spence, Ternence Crawford and Vergil Ortiz jr. Everyone moved up to 154, where he should be.
‘If boots act like against Chukhadzhian, or if he’s not the fighter we think he’s, he’s going, it’s going to be a very difficult night work in the Boardwalk Hall. I believe he will make a statement and show the world. ‘
There is no ifs that Jaron Ennis does not ‘The Fighter we’ thought he was. It’s not just the two Karen Chukhadzhian battles that showed it. There were also the David Avaneysan and Roiman Villa bouts, which showed that Ennis is not the phenoma we initially thought.
Ennis could still win on Saturday, but only because Stanionis is not a big fighter and is very flawed. We have seen that in Stanionis’s grueling clashes against Gabriel Maestre, Radzhab Butaev, and Thomas dorme.
Ortiz jr. Fighting has taken down
“He is the world champion at 147. The fight was offered at 154 or no title (correction: WBC Interim junior middleweight title would have been at stake), and he wanted to defend his world title and Unify,” Hearn said when Ennis was an offer from the WBC Tuesday of 154-LB champion, Vergil Ortiz JR., of the WBC in Riyad, of the WBC JR. have.
“He said,” I will fight for Vergil Ortiz, and I will fight against Crawford, but I really want to unite. It was my dream. “He has never beaten a world champion to be a world champion,” Hearn said. ‘Boots is clearly about legacy. I think if we didn’t deliver the Stanionist fight, we might have looked back at the Ortiz fight going: ‘Maybe we should have taken it. ‘
“He said, ‘I believe in you. Do you think you can get a unification for me? “I said,” Yes, “and then he said,” Let’s do it. ” I thought, ‘S ***,’ and then I went out, and I got it happy.
