Jaron “Boots” Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) was overpowered by Eimantas Stanionis (15-1, 9 KO) in Atlantic City to add WBA welterweight championship to your IBF belt. Boardwalk Hall had felt energy, because the building was hosting the first critical fight for the title since 2014, when Sergey Kovalev defeated Bernard Hopkins. Guardian Philadelphia 76ers Tyrese Maxey went from Philly from Ennis to the ring and unlike 76ers this season, Ennis met the expectations.

Ennis gave a tone with a burning stab. Stanionis suffered several sections of success, but she had no real answers for Ennis, who smoothly changed his attitudes and changed his attack between his head and body. In the sixth round, when Boots fastened Stanionis with a combination of body shots, which brought him to his knee, the result was an exaggerated ending. Stanionis’s coach, Marvin Somodio, decided not to send his warrior back to the seventh round, interrupting Ennis’s master class.

Ennis received criticism for the last few performances. Was the shoes another great thing in boxing, or did the noise not suit its results in the ring? While Ennis was a favorite of 6/1 entering this fight, Stanionis appeared as a reliable opponent, many observers saw as the second best weight in the world. Ennis showed why most observers perceive him as the best dog in a welterweight ward. After the fight, Ennis repeated this sentiment: “When I fight with the best guys, you see another. When I fight for something, it’s a completely different story. I can’t fail to mess with me.”

The fight helped to determine the hierarchy of 147 pounds. The division was tortured from two years ago, when Terence Crawford hit Errola Spence to be the undisputed champion before he moved to the 154-punting weight class and left all four welterweight championships.

After winning on Saturday evening, Ennis now has two of the four semi -edited division championships. Brian Norman Jr. (27-0, 21 KO) is the WBC champion, and Mario Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) is the WBO champion. Ennis said earlier that his goal is to win all four lanes in the welterweight division before moving to the weight of 154 pounds.

In November last year, Ennis and Norman Jr. They were close to the struggle to unite two welterweight championships. When both sides could not agree to Norman’s compensation for the fight, Ennis turned to face Karen Chukhadzhian, the man Ennis has already defeated convincingly. Ennis won easily and in the most critical. Ironically, Norman Jr. He would not be able to fulfill this November; An injury in a training camp meant that Norman underwent a second left hand operation.

Norman Jr. He recovered from the procedure, and the 24-year-old defeated Derrick Cuevas at the end of March in his first defense of the WBC championship. After winning Nokaut Norman Jr. called for WBO Master Mario Barrios. “Barrios looks after his belt, trying to hide in the corner. Go outside and make it happen.”

Mario Barrios, Master of WBO, intrigues for several reasons. His last fight was on Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Netflix, probably creating the night fight in an exhilarating draw against Abel Ramos. While Norman Jr. He called Barrios, Barrios does not lack potential contenders. In recent months, Barrios recalled, among others, Connor Benn, Danny Garcia and Manna Pacquiao. This is a debate whether these camps and others perceive Barrios as a draw because of the exhibition he received at Netflix, or has so many people who call him because they perceive the WBO WBO MASTERIGHT championship championship as a mature choice.

As one of the boxers classes, the Więdznhane Department was hosted by many great fights and ruled by many legendary fighters. The lungs of power appeared after Terenca Crawford equated in the division and moved to 154 pounds. It was doubtful whether Jaron “Boots” Ennis was ready to fill the shoes of the king of the welterweight. Along with the show at Boardwalk Hall Ennis ended these doubts. Regardless of whether it is Mario Barrios, Brian Norman Jr. or another claimant, anyone who wants to face Jaron Ennis and claim that welterweight supremacy is better to bring combat shoes.

The 36-year-old has not fought since losing his three welterweight world titles in July 2023. when he suffered a nine-round defeat to Terence Crawford during the battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Before their meeting, many suspected Spence was the top dog at 147 pounds, even after a life-threatening car accident in 2019.

He eventually recovered from the traumatic incident with back-to-back victories over Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas, but suffered an undisputed defeat against Crawford.

Canelo Camp announces Resendiz-Munguia as the winner next

Image: Canelo Alvarez Camp Signals Resendiz-Munguia Winner as Next Move

Eddy Reynoso may have said more than he intended when discussing Canelo Alvarez’s next move, as his comments pointed less to Christian Mbilli and more to the winner of next week’s Jaime Munguia-Armando Resendiz fight

Canelo is expected to return to Riyadh for the season in September after recovering from surgery on his left elbow. Reynoso told Ring magazine that the plan remains super middleweight and named several possible opponents, including Mbilli. However, the strongest language in the interview was the conversation about the May 2 fight between Munguia and Resendiz for the WBA title.


“This time it’s Munguia against Resendiz in a pan-Mexico fight on a pan-Mexico card,” Reynoso told Ring Magazine, discussing Cinco de Mayo weekend. “This is going to be an amazing fight and we are prepared to win. This fight is going to be so good that it will steal the show. They have the ingredients to distract from the main event.”

This was unique because Reynoso trains Munguia and has a direct stake in the outcome, but it also sounded like early preparation for what comes next. If Munguia wins, a rematch with Canelo will be an straightforward sell to the Mexican crowd and an straightforward one to build to. If Resendiz wins, he will arrive with the belt and fresh momentum.

After his recent victory over Lester Martinez, Reynoso mentioned Mbilli as a “massive challenge,” but the tone was different. This sounded like one option on the list as the Munguia-Resendiz fight gained full popularity.

Canelo’s team has also ruled out other routes. Reynoso said the David Benavidez fight is now over and suggested there is little chance of seeing it again. Staying at 168 pounds also reduces the likelihood of a rematch with Dmitry Bivol.

This leaves less room than it initially seemed. When camps start praising one fight with such a hard month ahead of time, it’s usually worth paying attention to.

Victor Ortiz was knocked out by Floyd Mayweather, but names an opponent who was ‘much better’

Victor Ortiz got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather but names the opponent who was ‘much better’

Floyd Mayweather’s last knockout victory over a legal opponent came in 2011 against Victor Ortiz, but despite the stoppage loss, the fighter known as “Vicious” claims he once fought a much better opponent.

It was a highly controversial moment when Mayweather knocked out Ortiz for the WBC welterweight title more than a decade ago, and the fourth round of their fight turned out to be full of drama.

Ortiz threw combinations on the ropes against Mayweather, but then got reckless and led with his head, prompting the referee to deduct a point.

With Ortiz paying no attention to the resumption of the fight, Mayweather fired a tough shot that knocked down and then knocked out his opponent, proving the elderly adage to always protect yourself.

Mayweather is undoubtedly the biggest name Ortiz has ever adopted, but while the boxing legend can be considered one of the best of all time, Ortiz told TalkSport that Andre Berto was better.

“He (Mayweather) is not the best opponent I’ve faced. Without a doubt, not. The best opponent I’ve faced was Andre Berto; he was much better. Andre Berto is a top-shelf pound-for-pound king. He knocked me down, I knocked him down, he got up, he knocked me down again.”

“This man showed everything: quality, heart, skill. Whatever, he’s got it. Someone like Floyd has what? Counter, running? That same year, I bought him some sprint shots at a press conference. My brother also bought him a box of tampons.

“But Andre Berto is special. I have the utmost respect for him. He has power in both hands; he is the total package. Someone with Floyd can’t compete with that.”

Ortiz defeated Berto to win the WBC welterweight title in a fight before facing Mayweather, which would be the first defeat of Berto’s professional career.

Berto’s final record was 32 wins and 6 losses, and during their meeting in September 2015, he suffered a one-sided defeat to Mayweather himself.

Mayweather competed just once again after the Berto fight, when he knocked out MMA fighter Conor McGregor in August 2017, although he is scheduled to return to fight former opponent Manny Pacquiao in September provided that the current problems can be solved.
