The Welter Ibf Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis weight champion and the WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis both weighed successfully today for their unification fight this Saturday, April 12, live on Dazn, with the event from 8 p.m. he / 5 p.m.
Success of weighing
– Ennis 146 1/2 against Stanionis 146 3/4
“He said: ‘I really want to unify him. This is one of the reasons why I signed with Matchroom. I thought you could make the big fights”, told Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV About what Jaron “ boots ” Ennis had told him recently when he asked him if he wanted to go to 154.
Ennis should have been asserted with Hearn, telling him that it is a better career decision for him to move on to an average junior weight to pursue greater fights than to stay at 147, fighting Eimantas Stanionis and Brian Norman Jr. Unification against these guys is not as impressive as it would be for Ennis to rise to 154 to face the killers in this division. The Welter weight is more a hiding place for Jaron to avoid dangerous guys at 154.
Doubts on Ennis
“There was a lot of pressure to do the [Stanionis unification clash] struggle. Respect for him to want to fight one of the best in the division. It is the right fight for Jaron Ennis to show everyone that the beaten media is real. Stanionis is a phenomenal fighter, “said Hearn.
Stanionis is not the fight that proves thatnis is not a work of media threshing. The fights which will prove that Brian Norman Jr., Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez. If Ennis can beat these fighters, he will have proven that he was not a media threw in a weak division. He came at the right time when Errol Spence, Thermnce Crawford and Vergil Ortiz Jr. had all passed at 154, where he should be.
“If Boots occurs as he did against Chukhadzhian or if he is not quite the fighter that we think he is, it will be a very difficult night at the Boardwalk Hall. I think he will do a statement and show the world.”
There is no IF involved in the fact that Jaron Ennis is not “the fighter that we” thought he was. It was not just the two Karen Chukhadzhian fights that showed it. There were also the fights David Avaneysan and Roiman Villa, who showed thatnis is not the phenomenon that we thought at the start.
Ennis could still win on Saturday, but only because Stanionis is not a big fighter and is seriously imperfect. We have seen that in the exhausting clashes of Stanionis against Gabriel Maestre, Radzhab Butaev and Thomas Dulorme.
The Ortiz Jr. fight refused
“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, “said Hearn when he was asked why Ennis refused an offer to fight the interim WBC champion of 154 LB Vergil Ortiz Jr. on the February 22 map in Riyadh.
“He said,” I’m going to fight Vergil Ortiz, and I’m going to fight Crawford, but I really want to unify him. It’s my dream. He never beat a world champion to be world champion, “said Hearn about Ennis. “Boots is clearly a question of inheritance. I think that if we had not fought the fight of Stanionis, then we may have looked at the fight of Ortiz in progress,” perhaps we should have taken this. “”
“He said,” I believe in you. Do you think you can get me unification? I said: “Yeah”, then he said: “Let’s do it”. I thought, “s ***”, then I came out, and I fortunately.
