-Welter weights not abbreviated Shakhram Giyasov (17-0, 10 kos) stopped Franco Ocampo (17-3, 8 KB) in the fourth round. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist, Giyasov, dropped Ocampo with a body right in the fourth who sent him. The referee counted Ocampo. The time to stop was 1:57 in the fourth.
Giyasov overturned Ocampo in the first round. In the third round, he injured the Argentinian ocampo with a left in the body but failed to follow an additional shot. The size difference between Shakhram and Oscampo was considerable. Giyasov, 31, looked like an average junior weight fighting a Welter weight. There was too much difference in skill and size between them so that Ocampo has a chance to win.
Giyasov is the compulsory WBA for the Welters Champion Eimantas Stanionis. The winner of the fight tonight between Eimantas and Jaron Ennis will have to fight Giyasov, or give him a step aside.
“Each fight is for my daughter,” said Shakhram about her recently deceased daughter. “I promised my daughter that I would be world champion.”
– Super Plume perspective Zaquin Moses (3-0, 2 KB) Eliminated Alex Palette (1-4, 1 KB) in the second round of a planned four-round competition. The SouthPaw Moses, 19, is linked to a left hand at the head of Pallete, making him take a knee. Although Palettete seemed to beat the count by rising at nine years, the referee, David Franciosi, still chose to enlarge him anyway. The time to stop was at 2:13. There were not enough photos rejected by the original palette of Porto Rican of 5’11 to assess the talent of Newark, originally from New Jersey, Moses. Moses showed excellent power in his left hand, but he did not use enough right hand to show if he can also hit the hand.
– Welter weight Tahmir Smalls (14-0, 10 KB) erased his outdated opponent, Earl Bascombe (13-2, 2 KB), marking a Knockout in the first round of Lightning. The small smams that jumped on the Bascome of the opening bell, the Tigner with a left hook to the head. In a heavy fire, small, 25 -year -old fire, flattened Bascome with a left hand. Referee Charlie Fitch gave it after it was clear that Bascombe would not get up. The official hour was 1:13 in the first round.
– Perspective of contributor weights Arturo Cardenas (16-0, 9 KB) had more time than expected to eliminate the Edgar Joe Cortes, Ring Rusty (9-8-1, 1 KB) in the eighth round. The time for the stop was 1:30 a.m.
In the eighth round, Cardenas dropped Cortes with a right hand, which made the fight stop. It looked like a premature stop. Cortes had been overthrown with a right hand from Arturo on the seventh round, and had also been abandoned in the fifth. It was a shift, but the referee, Fitch, mistakenly judged a knock-out.
Performance is a red flag that Cardenas is not the fighter that Matchcom hopes he will be. For him to fight like this against this level of adversary, it suggests that he will not go far.
Weight champion Welter IBF Ennis (33-0, 29 KB) will try to win his second title at 147 against the WBA champion Stanionis (15-0, 9 KB). This is the first real boots attempt to win a world title. The sanction organization raised it to the status of IBF champion by e-mail after the previous belt holder, Terence Crawford, was spent at 154.
Main card tonight on Dazn
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis against Eimantas Stanionis
Raymond Ford against Thomas Mattice
Omari Jones against William Jackson
Shakhram Giyasov against Franco Ocampo
There are a lot of questions about the question of whether Ennis will be exhausted for tonight’s fight because he looks emaciated and deadly all week, trying to descend to the limit of 147 lb for the weighing on Friday. He has made the weight, but there are doubts to find out if he’s going to be 100% tonight.
Some boxing fans consider boots, 27 years old, as another example of the tendency of weight beating in sport. These fighters are campaigning in divisions well below their physical frameworks to obtain an advantage over small fighters. When they rehydrate themselves, they seem enormous compared to their smallest opponents. Ennis looks huge after rehydrates, like an average weight.
We do not know if tonight’s fight is the last of Ennis on his multiple combat contract with Matchroom. If this is the case, it could be the end for him with the company of Eddie Hearn. Boots would be quickly torn from the free agents market by one of the promoters or perhaps by the Saudis.
In the main support fight, the former WBA featherweight champion Raymond Ford fight Thomas Mattice in a 10 round. For the Ford promoted to matches (16-1-1, 8 KB), it has been his second fight since he went to the 130 LB division after exceeding the featherweight class.
