Crystal Ball: Stanionis ignores the team’s advice: Looks like killing false American boogeyman buts ennis
Published

By Frank Bay: Eimantas Stanionis is fearless and does not buy the noise of Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Why would he? If he was Eimantas Sandavol from Jalisco in Mexico, instead of Stanionis from Lithuania, this fight could compete on the legendary night by Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor in terms of noise and commercial noise. But Stanionis is little known, inactive Eastern Europe, without significant victories in its CV, which was given an e-mail belt.
Ennis also received his belt and is currently produced by the former Hype Showtime/PBC without significant names in his CV in over 30 fights. At some point, the claim of Ennis to Sława is the pretender Errola Spence and Crawford, who traversing the comma, when Crawford allowed himself to deprive his title, not to face him.
It is possible to argue whether Crawford has diluted Ennis or not. The truth is that none of Ennis’s noise is based on the ring. His most significant win is perhaps Willa Roiman. Villa is known for defeating the former pretender to Hype Fringe, Rashidi Ellis. The whole noise of Ennis is based on the narrative that other fighters pierce it. None of them is based and is not only speculated by its minimum fans base. One thing that Ennis has for him is that he is a philly warrior. Being a warrior Philly has some charm among boxing fans. Actual or imagined, this is a story that can be sold.
Although it should be the main boxing event, unfortunately it is not. Stanionis is a virtual unknown Eastern Europe, and Jaron Ennis has a mop’s personality and charisma. Without slightly ennis; All he wants to do is focus on boxing. This is good, but the possibility of selling, especially in boxing, is a necessary ingredient. Do not look further than Ryan Garcia, if you want to know why it matters.
I hear the overthrow now, but what about Crawford? Somehow, the bud is less nice than Ennis, and he is a boxing star, speaking relatively. My answer to this is he really? Crawford has the personality and charisma of the cake. And that’s why it took him 15 years to become even a name in boxing.
Before defeating Spence Crawford, he could also play football. What about Canelo Alvarez? Mr. Charisma is not exactly and he barely speaks English. And I say that Alvarez has the whole country behind it in the same way as Pacquiao and Hatton. The reality is that America is trying to find and build another golden boy or “Money” Mayweather, because they no longer support boxing, as in previous eras.
Boxing is behind darts on television. Therefore, boxers must understand this and go beyond independent marketing. Hire an acting trainer or hearing a dancing with the stars, just like former fighters did. Or even better, make friends with Jake Paul, as David Benavidez was wise enough. But you have to start trends.
Winners and losers
As for talent, based solely on the eye test, Ennis and Stanionis are the peak of their class. This may not say much, because once Glamor Leonardo, de la Hoya, Mayweather and Trinidad, currently a welterweight, has Mario Barrios as the biggest name. Barrios is known only for the breakthrough of Davis’s featherlight tank, and then move to get the E -Mail 147 strap. Currently 147 is a sterile landscape. To unite this again, we get the union of E -Mail masters.
Ennis reportedly rejected a huge control from Turk Ali to face Vergil Ortiz, because he said he had signed a contract with Eddie Hearn that his goal was to become the undisputed champion of 147. This could be the wise game of Ennis, or a huge error defining a career.
If Ennis defeats Stanionis, he becomes a 147-line ring champion. This is a historical achievement. I am not sure how much recognition will receive from critics and fans, because Stanionis is largely unverified. Ennis naively believes that defeating Stanionis will automatically make him a P4P warrior.
I think this is a bit of delusion on the part of Ennis. It seems that we, fans, do not really know boxing and you can not see that they are both Masters of E -Mail. On the other hand, Devin Haney is still in the P4P rankings of critics, so it may not be so much.
Now for the huge ones, but, but if Ennis makes a loss, this may be the worst decision he made since the entire career of the misfortune of Demetrius Andrade. I would doubt that Ennis could affect the loss to Stanionis. The loss would only strengthen the knocking of people.
This would confirm that he was noise. Crawford would be released and he could indicate and say “it was the guy that you said I was open.” By making social media will be next. He could end up like a hamed after he was revealed. You can never see again. Although this is drastic, this happens when the warrior and his fans buy noise and mean Boogeyman.
Claiming that they are the most avoided boxing warrior. In this way, Ennis built his name. Therefore, a loss of death would be a loss. Ennis does not seem to be ready to return to the drawing board and rebuild the fight for peanuts. In addition, he would still be too good for other names to give him an opportunity if they don’t have to.
This is a problem with making an unsuccessful attempt to fight Norman Jr so publicly deafening. Now the loss of one man and the other can indicate and say that it was not like that. Mayweather was able to employ this tactic throughout his entire career.
Whenever the warrior was mentioned as a threat to him, he lost. He pointed out and said: “Oh, he is a guy you said, he can overcome me that he just lost and so, allowing him to avoid such fighters through his entire career
No, Ennis must win and win in an impressive way to raise his profile and silence critics. Something less than a spectacular victory will be for nothing. Doubts will have their own cake. Stanionis is very good, but he should not win this fight. He is the only best warrior who took the opportunity to face the self -proclaimed Boogeyman.
In an interview, Stanionis stated that he had been fighting the advice of his guardians. His team did not feel that he was getting an sincere offer. They told him that the money was not suitable for such a grave struggle of unification. Stanionis told his team to make it happen anyway.
He will have all the chances that were set against him on the night of the fight. It will be a road team fighting on the ennis pitch. He will not have his wife at his side and miss the birth of his first child. Stanionis is weaker.
Run or not run
In terms of style, it’s a classic duel. Ennis transfer between boxer and boxer-puncher. He has power in both hands, and his chin is decent, but not great. We see talent, but we didn’t see him test. In Ennis, I don’t like the excuse that he is profuse for his impoverished fights. His excuse for the average towards Karen was a very doubtful statement that he was not properly motivated.
For my life, someone should have warned him that saying something like aterans. Receiving a payment of millions of dollars, fighting in front of the hometown for the title, and your answer is a lack of motivation. The correct answer would be that I have a lot to do. But the real answer should have been a bit overrated. There can be no such excuse against Stanionis. Stanionis will be there to bring it. He is your classic boxer.
Stanionis tries to literally break his opponents. He doesn’t look at the box or madness around the ring with a protruding tongue and looking charming. He is not a frill. He has decent to good power. His chin seems to be above the average, but to tell the truth, we cannot say for sure, because his opposition was very mediocre. Stanionis is there to be hit, but it’s because he doesn’t mind. He wants to put pressure on his opponent every minute of each round. He works on the head and the body, swearing to kill Ennis’s torso all night.
Ennis will have advantages of size, speed and athleticism. The power should be annulled because both can hurt. This should do it with an early affair. The direct path of Ennis to victory is that he is an applicant. He will want to constantly move Stanionis, making him raise his feet when he tries to load the bodies.
Ennis will have to be careful that he was an applicant, not a runner. This will negatively affect judges and viewers. Ennis knows that he has to sit and fight at least in the grooves to get the crowd.
This should not be if things are fair, but they are not and Stanionis will probably need a knockout to get a victory. I am not saying that he cannot win a decision, but if it is close, he should not expect that they will give him a fight. If it is a very close fight, Ennis will receive a decision in his hometown.
HEALTHY FIGHT
It should be honestly a greater fight than today, but it’s boxing. Both men say little and had long sections of inactivity. What we can expect is a good fight. This fight will answer many questions for both fans and critics. Is Ennis as good as advertised?
If Stanionis were to upset, could he become a star? If Ennis is nervous, do we question the validity of shiny records and still believe in Boogemen fairy tales in boxing? Will Eastern Europeans realize in the United States?
If Ennis receives a spectacular win, does it make him a superstar, and does he get huge names? The only answer I can come up with now is that I have the impression that we will see something unexpected. This has a classic production. I follow the weaker because I tend to root for the weaker and I don’t believe in Boogememen. However, I must say that American boxing needs this win in the worst way.

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

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.
Many fans on social media suspect that Miller is once again chasing Joshua just to secure a huge payday, which he threw away when failed drug tests canceled their 2019 fight.
Joshua wants a tune-up before he finally meets Tyson Fury. The plan is to shake off the rust and keep his record pristine before this huge event happens. This gap in the schedule gives other heavyweights a chance to make their voices heard, and Miller takes advantage of the moment.
Miller is still a controversial name, but he knows how to cause offense. Beating Pero would aid him prove that he still belongs in this conversation.
“Your whooping cough will come sooner or later. You can run, but you can’t hide,” Jarrell Miller said on Matchroom.
From a business perspective, Joshua’s team is focused on the Tyson Fury event. Facing an aggressive, volume hitter like Miller in a comeback fight would be risky. If Joshua wins, critics may view it as defeating a challenger who has spent years outside the elite mix. If he loses, Fury’s payout and his position will take damage.
Miller has built much of his reputation on noise and confrontation, but he’s still trying to fight his way into the majors. A victory over Pero won’t put him in a fight with Joshua right away, but it will keep him in the wider discussion.
Joshua’s team may still choose the safer and more controlled option of a return, especially if negotiations with Fury progress behind the scenes. Risking that payday against a hazardous or inconvenient opponent wouldn’t make much sense.
Still, Miller continues to cling to the story whenever Joshua’s name resurfaces in the headlines. Heavyweight boxing has a long memory, and some unfinished fights remain useful long after the first fall.

Terence Crawford names one fight he would like to see against Gervonta Davis this year

Terence Crawford has named an opponent he would “love to face” with Gervonta Davis in his expected return to the sport.
The former world champion hasn’t fought since March 2025, when many felt he was lucky to draw with Lamont Roach.
Nevertheless, “Tank” retained the WBA lightweight title and was scheduled to face Roach in an immediate rematch before negotiating an exhibition match with Jake Paul.
But instead of spending time with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Davis was forced to deal with domestic violence allegations from his former partner, Courtney Rossel.
Since then The 31-year-old was recognized by the WBA as a “breaktime champion”.urged by No. 1 contender Floyd Schofield to book their fight or give him a free shot at the title.
Davis, however, has expressed greater interest in a rematch with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz at 140 pounds, even though he passed the Mexican in 2021.
Meanwhile, Crawford has no desire to watch “Tank” fight Schofield or Cruz, but he would happily sit back and watch him clash with Shakur Stevenson.
I’m talking to Danielle Pirello“Bud” called the WBO super lightweight world champion the perfect opponent for Davis, believing their potential meeting would be one of the best fights that could be had.
“I’d like to see Shakur vs. ‘Tank’ Davis.”
Stevenson had previously called on Davis to sign a contract several times, perhaps making him increasingly doubtful whether the Baltimore player would ever sign.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect an immediate fight between “Tank” and Stevenson, especially after the latter’s dominant performance against Teofimo Lopez in January.
