Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis must discover a method to make his rematch with IBF obligatory Karen Chukhadzhian extra thrilling for the followers on November ninth. They’re anticipating an identical uninteresting struggle to their earlier one a 12 months in the past, and so they’re not wanting ahead to this.
Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) regarded like he had two left ft in his struggle towards Chukhadzhian (24-2, 13 KOs) on January seventh in Washington, D.C. He was making an attempt to knock out the artful fighter and lacking with wild photographs. Chukhadzhian does effectively towards sluggers. He didn’t win, however he succeeded in making Ennis look clueless.
IBF welterweight champion Ennis will struggle in entrance of his house crowd on November ninth on the Wells Fargo Middle in Philadelphia. The struggle will probably be proven stay on DAZN. Boots says he’ll “have enjoyable,” however he voiced related feedback earlier than his final struggle towards David Avanesyan on July thirteenth. He didn’t look good in that struggle, both.
“There’s extra threat for Boots Ennis. This struggle is like seeing a Hollywood bomb after which saying, ‘Let’s pour more cash right into a sequel,’” stated Chris Mannix to DAZN Boxing concerning the rematch between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Karen Chukhadzhian on November ninth.
Ennis has no alternative however to take the rematch as a result of Chukhadzhian labored his approach into the IBF obligatory spot place, successful three fights since his January loss final 12 months.
Boots may have averted combating Chukhadzhian once more provided that his promoter, Eddie Hearn, had negotiated the unification struggle with WBO champion Brian Norman Jr. or if Ennis had vacated.
Hearn failed to barter the struggle with Norman as a result of he wished $2.2 million, and Eddie wasn’t going to sweeten the deal from the $1.7 million he supplied.
“That’s the anticipation for this struggle being terrible is frankly at an all time excessive. Boots Ennis must discover a method to compound these expectations. He’s acquired an excellent stablemate who might help him with a mover, and that’s Andy Cruz.
“I noticed Michael Mckinson in his coaching camp as effectively. That’s one other man that’s going to maneuver round in that health club,” stated Mannix about Ennis having Cruz and Mckinson to assist him put together for the extremely cellular Chukhadzhian.
Even with light-weight contender Andy Cruz and welterweight mover Michael McKinson serving to Ennis put together for Chukhadzhian’s mobility, it is going to be troublesome to chop off the ring to land his energy photographs.
This man is much more of a mover than these two. The Cuban Cruz is a fighter who stands in entrance of his opponents and makes them miss with reflexes and by leaning away from photographs.
Chukhadzhian strikes across the ring, and it’s virtually unattainable to catch him. It could be dangerous for Ennis’s profession if he turned in one other poor efficiency towards Karen, as he did final 12 months.
