The 2 147-lb champions will headline, live on DAZN, this Saturday, April twelfth, on the Boardwalk Corridor in Atlantic Metropolis, New Jersey.

The venue favors the East Coast fighter, Boots, who comes from Philadelphia, but it surely may not matter. Stanionis’s punching energy and abilities could possibly be an excessive amount of for Ennis on this struggle.

The Chukhadzhian Comparability

Algieri states that the issues that Karen Chukhadzhian was capable of do in his two fights towards Boots (33-0, 29 KOs) that gave him hassle, Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) also can do however with extra energy and explosiveness.

Ennis, 27, appeared confused and technically outclassed by Chukhadzhian of their two fights. His punching energy saved him. If not for that, Boots would have misplaced each fights as a result of he was getting outboxed by the Ukrainian from A to B.

It’s absolutely the #1 and #2 within the division,” stated Chris Algieri to YSM Sports Media, speaking in regards to the Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis vs. Eimantas Stanionis welterweight unification struggle this Saturday night time in Atlantic Metropolis, New Jersey.

Hearn’s Considerations

Boots Ennis’ promoter Eddie Hearn had been hyping him up after he signed him to a multi-fight contract with Matchroom final yr. Nevertheless, Hearn doesn’t sound as enthusiastic about him after Ennis’s performances towards David Avanesyan and Karen Chukhadzhian.

The honeyman seems to be over. Hearn not too long ago warned that Ennis can’t afford one other efficiency just like the one he turned in towards Karen. One will get the sense this is perhaps the final struggle for Boots with Matchroom if he fails to appear to be 24k gold like he had been when he signed with them a yr in the past.

Ennis damage his reputation additional by rejecting a struggle towards Vergil Ortiz Jr. at 154 final February, which might have given him tens of millions and, some imagine, made Hearn’s funding in him worthwhile. Turning down the large payday alternative was a blow-it transfer by Boots as a result of his marketability would have soared if he’d gained. Was it worry? It’s to not see it that method.

Stylistic Nightmare

“I charge Stanionis very excessive, and I’ve for a very long time. So, this struggle makes an excessive amount of sense. It’s like, ‘What’s happening? We’re really getting a struggle once we’re purported to occur.’ We’re not dragging it out; we’re not overseasoning them. We’re getting the struggle once we need it,” stated Algieri.

“Stanionis and Ennis, it’s occurring on the excellent time. Hear, it’s not a straightforward struggle. Do I lean for Ennis? Completely. I lean for Ennis towards anyone however Stanionis; stylistically, he’s a nightmare. He’s in your face. The issues that Karen Chukhadzhian was capable of do with Ennis that gave him hassle, Stanionis does it extra explosively with larger energy,” stated Algieri.
