Jaron “Boots” Ennis returned to the ring Saturday evening in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The previous welterweight titleist was stepping as much as junior middleweight. His opponent? Uisma Lima, a fighter who had solely suffered one defeat and who was now making his American debut. Though the 34-0 Ennis was largely anticipated to win, the 14-1 Lima was a largely unknown commodity which added a query mark to the DAZN broadcast affair.
The opening spherical noticed a thunderous mixture put Lima to the mat. He acquired up however Ennis instantly went to work to finish the struggle early. A number of seconds later Lima was down once more. He gamely acquired up as soon as extra however he was clearly in quite a lot of bother. A closing livid flurry led the referee to step in and finish the struggle. Ennis in his junior middleweight debut regarded completely stellar. Lima was unknown however he was a ranked contender with a wonderful report. It was very exhausting to not be impressed with Philadelphia’s Ennis on Saturday evening.
Ennis now holds the WBA interim junior middleweight title belt. Meaning he’s in line for a shot at a world title.”I did what I needed to do,” Ennis mentioned afterwards. “I really feel just like the longer I transfer up the stronger I’m going to get.” So, what’s within the man’s future? “You realize what time it’s” Ennis mentioned “You realize who I would like subsequent…I would like Virgil Ortiz.” Promoter Eddie Hearn couldn’t have been happier with Ennis’ efficiency.
“That is the way forward for the game of boxing,” he mentioned of Ennis. Evidently, Ennis supported his promoter’s assertion. “Carry em all. 154 is mine,” Ennis added. The query in fact is whether or not Ennis will get an opportunity to struggle the larger names on the market. That is boxing 2025, in any case. It’s not simple for the massive fights to be made. In truth, it’s outright tough for the massive fights to be made. Hopefully Ennis will get the possibility to seek out himself in a significant battle with a excessive profile, prime quality opponent.
With Crawford nice as he’s previous his prime, and Canelo nice as he’s previous his prime, the general public is clearly looking forward to see who could be the subsequent king of the game. Suffice to say Ennis is unquestionably in line for the throne. Time, in fact, will inform the story.
