Weight champion Welter Ibf Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will have to defend his newly won WBA title against his compulsory Shakhram Giyasov Following rather than taking a unification match against the WBO champion Brian Norman Jr. or the holder of the WBC belt Mario Barrios.
Giyasov’s threat
Giyasov (17-0, 10 KB) will be a risky fight for Ennis because he is technically more qualified than him, and he is enormous for the division. Last Saturday, Giyasov looked like an average junior weight, eliminating Franco Ocampo in the fourth round at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlanta City, New Jersey. With Giyasov’s size, power and technical skills, he could defeat boots.
The promoter Eddie Hearn will not be happy that Boots takes the difficult fight against Giyasov so early, but that cannot be avoided. If Ennis wants to leave, he can. This is the only way he can evolve Giyasov.
The 2016 Olympic silver medalist, Giyasov, has already ruled out to allow Stanionis to fight Ennis in a unification fight. He is unlikely to withdraw again, and why should he do it? Ennis has no combat to pressing pressure for his next fight.
Norman (27-0, 21 KB) would defend itself against n ° 2 WBO Jin Sasaki in Japan for a big money. The Heavy Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KB) has already called Norman Jr. after his last fight against Derriek picked on March 29, and Brian Jr’s father loved this fight.
The promoter of boots, Eddie Hearn, was fighting during the press conference after the fight last Saturday evening on the way he wants the fight of unification against Brian Norman Jr. or the WBC champion, Mario Barrios. None of these fights will occur. According to rumors, Barrios fight Errol Spence. If this fight does not occur, Manny Pacquiao is the other guy. These two fights will be huge days of pay for barrios.
“Just Play” complaint
“This kid has so much speed and levels to pass. Social boxing About the victory of Ennis “boots” by Jaron over Eimantas Stanionis last Saturday.
Ennis did not play. He was caught by Stanionis because he has bad defensive skills. His defective defense was even more visible for this fight because he opened by fighting aggressively.
“He [Stanionis] Taken a blow. His nose was broken up, “said Hearn.” You’re talking about Brian Norman. All people care is money. The interest of sport proves that you are the best, and it is really tiring when you have people who have offered themselves eight or ten more than they have never been to prove to be against a big fight. “”
The money that Stanionis would have earned for the fight in Ennis was 1.8 million dollars, which was much lower than 2.2 million dollars that Brian Norman Jr. and his father wanted to fight the boots. The last time, Norman Jr. was offered $ 1.7 million. Thus, Hearn only train his salary of $ 100,000 for a fight against boots.
$ 1.8 million offer
“You just want to assess yourself permanently,” said Hearn. “Tonight, the boots have taken less money so that we can pay too much in Stanionis. He made a fortune tonight. We will pay Norman the same money as Stanionis [$1.8 million],, which is a fortune. But Boots no longer takes less. We have to give him more money because he deserves to be paid. There must be an element to want to fight the best and prove yourself.
“You have to put performances like this on a scene like this so that I am in the ring and say,” I told you. This kid [Ennis] is this one. He is 27 years old, ”said Hearn.
