Stanionis can pull off the upset if he can face up to the punching energy of Boots and keep away from a number of the energy pictures that he throws. The 2016 Olympian isn’t exhausting to hit, and he’ll should depend upon his energy sport to defeat Ennis.

Early Stoppage?

The final man that Ennis knocked out early was David Avanesyan within the fifth spherical final July. Nevertheless, that fighter is just not on the identical degree as Stanionis or as younger. Boots had a better activity towards him than he’ll on Saturday.

“Stanionis might be aggressive. He’ll in all probability make some errors early, and Boots is a incredible counter-puncher and an incredible IQ,” stated Hearn. “Because the combat goes deeper, in fact, the stress of Stanionis, the engine of Stanionis goes to trigger anyone issues.”

Ennis fought higher within the later rounds towards Karen than he had early on final November. If he can combat like that, he’ll be an excessive amount of for Stanionis within the second half of the combat.

Prompt Traditional?

“It’s an excellent matchup of types. I can’t see something however a Combat of the Yr contender, and that is precisely what we wish,” stated Hearn. “We’ve seen some super fights in Saudi and the Ring Journal playing cards. Now, we’re seeing one other one. It’s on hearth on DAZN.
