Paulie Malignaggi was impressed by the way Welter Ibf Jaron ‘Boots’ Boots’ Ennis (34-0, 30 KB) looked at Saturday evening, eliminating the WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis (15-1, 9 Kos) in the sixth round at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlante City, New Jersey.
“No fight” ko
Malignaggi underlines that, which, 27, has obtained a “without combat” KO. He was able to obtain the stop by boxing and the stanionis in pots without being struck in the fight. He did not expect Boots to win this way.
Ennis slowly defeated the slower and smaller Stanionis through the first five laps, then overturned it at the end of the sixth. After the end of the Tour, the corner of Stanionis decided that it had taken enough punishment and had not sent it for the seventh.
The size also counts
Ennis looked at least 15 pounds more than Stanionis inside the ring tonight. It could be said that he had rehydrated a whole bunch, and that the additional size that the boots had on his frame would have been sufficient for him to win with it alone. But he also had the advantage of technical skills with his modern combat style compared to Primitive Balboa-Esque Approach that Stanionis used.
“You forget that Jaron can box so well. I think he reminded us this evening how he can so well,” said Paulie Malignaggi to CombinationReacting to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ Victoire on Eimantas Stanionis. “He obtained a stop without fighting. He obtained a stop by being a very good boxer and in an upgrade Stanionis. I did not expect it to happen in this way.”
Stanionis was made easier by using an old rocky style to fight against a modern boxer tonight, and that would never work. Ennis knew that he could open Stanionis, that was obviously why he chose to stay 147 to finish his goal of becoming the undisputed champion. He knew that Stanionis was commanded for him.
An easy fight?
“He’s an excellent fighter,” said Malignaggi about Ennis boots. “I think that this performance tonight on Stanionis, who was a difficult guy. No one expected it to be so simple. I don’t think Stanionis was expecting what Nis is fighting like that. Ennis began boxing, changing their scope on him, catching him with technical power.”
It seems that Malignaggi had never watched some of Stanionis’ fights. If he had seen his fight against Radzhab Butaev in 2022, he would have known that tonight’s fight with boots would be easy for the native of Philadelphia. Butaev injured Stanionis several times in the fight, much more than nis did it tonight, and he barely lost 114-113 on the dashboard of a judge. It was easily the most precise score of the three for the fight of Stanionis-Butaev.
“It was like,” explodes in the central ring, a philadelphia style against Eastern Europe style “. He was like: “What do you know?” “He beat him by doing this this way. I think it again increases curiosity.
“He is criticized by some people. When you are an elite athlete, you are criticized everywhere.
