Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Moving Up To 154 Pounds After Struggles Making Welterweight

Promoter Eddie Hearn Says Unified Welterweight Jaron Champion ‘Boots’ Ennis is “Moving up” To 154. The Decision was made after his team conducted tests that determined that ennis (34-0, 30 kos) was underperforming due to his struggles to make weight for the 147-lb division. He’d outgrown the division.

Hearn Says Ennis Will Fight in August or September, and he’s open to maker a fight between Him and WBC Interim Junior Middleweight Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. If Not Him, It’ll Be Someone Else that boots Fights in his debut at 154.

Ennis Boots: 154-Pound Move

Hearn Says Ennis Was Only “50%” for His Unification Fight Against Wba Welterweight Champion Eimantas Stanionis on April 12th. He believes that with jaron moving up to 154, he’ll be 100%, and fans will be able to see how much better he is at full strength.

“Boots is moving up. Unfortunately, After the Stanionis Fight, He Had His Team Around Him, The Doctors, The Tests, and What They Basalely Saying is underperforming to His Capabilities,” Said Eddie Hearn to Fighter. “You Saw Him on Fight Week. It Takes Hard Work [to make 147]. “

Boxing Fans have noted for a While Now That Ennis Has Looked Emaciated Making Weight, and they’ve Wanted Him to Move Up to 154 to Take On The Bigger Name. Also, The Welterweight Division is Lacking Big Names. The champions at 147 that boots needs to fight to complete his gocoming undisputed would like a substantial amnt of money, and it’s not Worth it.

“The Amazing Thing is, He Did that to Stanionis at 50% of His Physical Capabilitities,” Said Hearn. “What He’s Saying and What Team is saying. Sooner or Later, I’m not saying you go to get a keyshawn moment, but you could underperform in the ring, have a nightmare weight cut, and it’s just going to you.”

Hearn Sounds Pleased that ennis is planning on moving up in weight. It’s Pointless for Boots to Stay at 147 to continue killing Himself to make weight, Becuse he’s likely to be prevented from Fighting for the Wbc Title Against the Winner of the Mario Barrios vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight. Whoever Emerges As the Winner of That Fight Will Avoid Ennis and Focus on Defending It Against Fighters like Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, or Conor Benn.

“I love the teo fight, and so did boots. But it was like, ‘can I perform to the best of my abilies at 147,” Said Hearn. “The Answer is, ‘i can probably perform good enough to win, but not to the best of my abilies.’ SO, when you see boots at 154, you are going to see what i’m talking about. ”

That Sounds Like Ennis was worried about losing to teofimo. That’s surprise because the way he performed Against Stanionis Last April, that wow be more than enough for him to defeat lopez. Even that drained version of Ennis Would Be too much for Teofimo.

“SO, It’s very likely Those Belts [IBF and WBA welterweight] Are Going to Be Vacated, “Hearn Said.“ We go to see this weekend and make a final decision. But yeah, it’s time to move to 154, and he’s been unified at 147 now. It’s time to try to become a Two-Division World Champion. ”

If boots doesn’t vacate his ibf and wba welterweight titles, he’s going to wish he Did Later, because I mentioned, he won’t get the opportunity to fig for the last two remaining belts. The Popular Fighters, Haney and Ryan Garcia, Won’t Fight Him. They know they’d lose.

“They Said, ‘Would You Fight Vergil Ortiz in August?’ And we Said, ‘Yes.’ And then they cam and said, ‘Vergil wasn’t ready for August.’ I Said, ‘We’re Happy. We’re Talking to Dazn at the moment.

If Ortiz Jr. Isn’t Ready to Fight Ennis in August, He Should Go After Ibf Bakhram Murtazaliev or Wbc Champ Sebastian Formla.

“We want to be involved in all the Biggest Fights. Obviously, He Wants to Win a World Title, and There’s a Good Chance That Vergil May End Up Get Championship. So, Yeah, All in for all the Big Fights with a real physically 100% boots, Which is a fright Given the Performance That He Gave Against Stanionis, ”Said Hearn.
