Tonight, at the iconic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Boxing returns for a welterweight one match between IBF champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (33-0, 29 food) and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 coes). The winner is also awarded the Vacant Ring Magazine Welterweight title. A historic night for whom the crown can claim.
Stanionis is a pressure fighter who, as he says, will go tonight’s game with all guest and no brakes. He intends to overwhelm Ennis with his pressure attack. Eimantas are not a volume puncher, but he is accurate and exactly with the bumps he throws and ends up 40.1 percent of his strokes.
He does not have a knockout force at once; He breaks down his opponents and methodically attacks them throughout the game. He is relentless and does not stop. Although he uses a high -guard defense, he is very on hand.
In his WBA championship match against the Hard Radzhab Butaev, he gained a lot of punishment, with two bruised eyes and a bloody nose. It was an intense fight fought in the area. This is the type of struggle that Stanionis prefers and enjoys. However, against a fighter of the caliber boots it can be detrimental.
Jaron is a very athletic boxer whose skills can present a challenge for Stanionis. Boots have speed, power and agility. Stanionis’s greatest weakness is his mobility. He has struggled against mobile boxers in the past. The most striking was Justin de Loach, who found limited success by boxing Eimantas on the outside. De Loach surpassed Stanionis for the first seven rounds, 88 to 67 (Compubox), respectively. Stanionis finally closed the distance and knocked De Loach in the 9th round. De Loach may have lost, but showed Stanionis struggles with mobile and agile boxers.
Boots is a multidimensional boxer that can box on the inside or out and fight in the Orthodox or Southpaw attitude. He is on his feet very quickly and can easily get out of reach and control the remote. Against Stanionis, he will be able to use his full repertoire. Boots
Must use sideways movement to frustrate eimantas offensive and have a 6 -inch advantage that he can use at the middle to long distance to box. Boots can dictate the pace of the fight and should be careful not to become too confident and take unnecessary punishment. In his last match against Karen Chukhadzhian, he tried to achieve a knockout victory and paid for it by being hit more than he should have. He should not repeat this mistake and give stanionis
improper opportunities. It is Boots’ moment, his time to climb to the welterweight throne. He must seize the moment and capture the crown.
