Both Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Uisma Lima gained weight on Friday ahead of their 12-round junior middleweight headliner this Saturday night at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on October 11.

Promoter Eddie Hearn expects Lima to give “Boots” a tough test on Saturday night to keep the fight as enjoyable as possible. Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) looked slimmer than his opponent Lima (14-1, 10 KO), despite being slightly heavier.

“Boots” goes to the testing ground

Weights

Jaron Ennis 153.4 vs. Uisma Lima 153
Guido Vianello 247.4 vs. Alexis Barriere 237
Jose Roman 146.4 vs. Tahmir Smalls 146.8
Sean Diaz 122 vs. Dennis Thompson 121.4
Antonio Dunton-El Jr 133.4 vs. Zaquin Moses 132.2
James Wilkins 134.6 vs. Giorgio Visioli 135
Hylon Williams Jr 138.4 vs. Harley Mederos 141.6
Naheem Parker 141.6 vs. Justin Palmieri 136.4

Former IBF and WBA welterweight champion Ennis has a lot of pressure on him to impress in his debut at 154. He has talked a lot in the build-up to the fight and he will have to live up to it.

Hearn also pumps Ennis, calling him the “successor” to Terence Crawford. If “Boots” doesn’t look like a bag of 24-karat gold on Saturday, fans will be all over Hearn, claiming he’s been pushing fools’ gold on them all this time.

The truth is, we don’t know how good Ennis is because he has glided through nine years of professional football without facing any opposition at an elite level.

I rejected the Large Four – why?

So far, the best name on his CV is Eimantas Stanionis, the main striker. It’s not like Ennis didn’t have a chance to fight the best. He reportedly turned down fights with these fighters: Crawford, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Vergil Ortiz Jr.

“I don’t see anyone beating him at 154. I don’t see anyone beating him at 160. I think 160 will be his best weight as a fighter,” said Eddie Hearn DAZN Boxingspeaking of Jaron Ennis. “Even at 154, he gained weight much better than usual, but it was still hard.

“He’s a substantial guy. He’ll probably spar at 160 or 165 pounds,” Hearn said of “Boots.” “This guy is an unbelievable talent. You’ll see something different from him tomorrow night. Jaron Ennis has it all. ‘Boots’ has the defensive skill set, he also has the grit and the strength. He will lead you and bring you down.
