What if Ennis Loses to Stanionis?

IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’s sickly, ghoulish look will price him in his unification battle towards WBA champ Eimanstas Stanionis this Saturday evening on the Boardwalk Corridor in Atlantic Metropolis, New Jersey.

Ennis has been pushing himself to the restrict to chop to 147 to make weight at the moment, and he might have gone too far. If he loses to Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs), many followers will leap off his ship, viewing him as one other instance of a faux made to look higher than he is because of gentle matchmaking.

Weight Reduce Insanity

Assuming Boots does lose, he’s acquired to take an excellent laborious look within the mirror and face the reality. He doesn’t belong at 147. Ennis must be preventing at the very least at 154, if not 160. While you’re slicing down from the 180s, it’s silly to be preventing at welterweight. If Boots lacks confidence in himself that a lot, he shouldn’t be preventing.

Choices for Ennis after shedding to Stanionis:

1. Transfer as much as 154
2. Rebuild at 147
3. Struggle Stanionis once more
4. Retire

You may rule out Ennis shifting as much as 154 if he will get crushed by Stanionis as a result of his confidence will probably be gone at that time, and he received’t wish to combine it up with the predatory sharks in that division. If he chooses to rematch Stanionis, he’ll be taking a substantial danger as a result of if he loses, that’s the top of the road for him. There can be no returning as a result of the followers he has left would rapidly abandon him.

Ghoulish and Cussed

Boots (33-0, 29 KOs) has appeared gaunt all week from slicing weight, and you’ll inform that he’s pushing himself laborious to get all the way down to the welterweight restrict for this battle. It reveals how cussed and determined Ennis is to remain at 147 to develop into an undisputed champion. He reportedly cuts down from the 180s for his battle, an excessive quantity of weight for a welterweight to take off to marketing campaign within the 147-pound weight class.

Persons are pushing Ennis to maneuver as much as 154 so he can cease killing himself together with his drastic weight cuts. They see how he seems to be virtually ghoulish in look, and so they need him to begin campaigning at junior middleweight, the place he doesn’t must put himself via hell when making weight.
