Jaron Ennis vs Uisma Lima – results and post-fight report
On Saturday in Philadelphia, Jaron Ennis defeated Uisma Lima in the first round to win the interim WBA super welterweight world title.
Ennis (35-0, 31 KO), who entered the fight as a hefty favorite, dropped Lima (14-2, 10 KO) three times before referee Shawn Clark intervened and Ennis stopped his opponent’s punches at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
“Boots” made his super welterweight debut after relinquishing his IBF and WBA welterweight crowns. Victory over Eimantas Stanionis in April.
The 28-year-old Philadelphia native quickly turned southpaw after starting out as an Orthodox, and the impact was almost immediate.
A three-punch combination ending with a right hook knocked Lima down by the seat of his pants.

The 32-year-old, who had never been stopped before, quickly got up but another attack knocked him to the ground for a second time.
Sensing the early end of the match, “Boots” attacked his tired opponent, and the further attack forced the intervention of the referee, who also threw in the towel after Lima’s corner kick.
Ennis, who was lining up to fight WBA champion Abass Baraou, called for a fight with WBC interim champion Vergil Ortiz Jr, who will face Erickson Lubin on November 8 in Dallas.
“I sent an critical message,” he said DAZN.
“You all know who I want next.
“It will happen next.
“If he doesn’t win, I will fight Lubin, but next time I want Vergil Ortiz.”
If the clash with Ortiz Jr does not materialize, Ennis said he would be willing to face super welterweight world champions Sebastian Fundora, Bakhram Murtazaliev and Xander Zayas, as well as former champion Jermell Charlo.
“If we don’t get Ortiz next, I heard Charlo called me too,” he added.
“He might get it next.
“Fundora, Bakhram [Murtazaliev]IBF champion, he can get it.
“Xander [Zayas] can get it.
“Anybody at 154. I’m chasing the belt. This is my division.”
Vianello attacks Barriere
Guido Vianello breathed up-to-date life into his career by stopping Alexis Barriere in the fifth round of their heavyweight clash.
Vianello (14-3-1, 12 KO) dropped the previously undefeated Canadian in the fourth round after a powerful attack, and Barriere (12-1, 10 KO) was saved by the bell.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
