Matchroom introduced at the moment that Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez will share a card in a doubleheader on November ninth, reside on DAZN. The occasion will likely be staged on the Wells Fargo Heart in Philadelphia.
Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) will headline, defending his IBF welterweight title in a rematch in opposition to his obligatory Karen Chukhadzhian. It’s a questionable headliner because of the lack of fan curiosity within the ‘Boots’ Ennis vs. Chukhadzhian rematch, however promoter Eddie Hearn hopes to show the Philadelphia native Jaron right into a star.
Hearn not too long ago misplaced the purse bid for the Ennis-Chukhadzhian, which begs the query: how did Hearn get Chukhadzhian’s administration to comply with have the battle staged in Philadelphia moderately than Germany?
Hearn seemingly needed to pay a princely sum to get Chukhadzhian to comply with battle in Philadelphia. In the long run, Hearn might have been higher off placing the cash into profitable the purse bid, and he wouldn’t have needed to take care of paying to get Crew Chukhadzhian to battle in Philly.
He’s obtained his work reduce out for him because of the absence of notable fighters at 147 and his unwillingness to pay the champions to comply with battle Ennis. They received’t comply with lowball presents for fights they’ve little likelihood of profitable to come back to Philadelphia.
The British promoter Hearn goes to want to know the U.S. fighters as a result of he doesn’t seem to be he has any understanding of how People work.
Hearn not too long ago failed to barter a take care of WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. when he confronted to sweeten the deal by $500,000 from 1.7 million to 2.2 million for a unification conflict. Crew Norman was prepared to comply with the $1.7 million to battle Ennis in Las Vegas, however Hearn didn’t comply with the supply.
Hearn thinks that after Boots fights Karen, Crew Norman will see the sunshine and comply with his supply. I severely doubt it. If something, their value will seemingly leap to $3 million after Norman Jr. destroys Derrieck Cuevas on November eighth, and he appears to be like like a golden idol in that efficiency.
It’s vital that Hearn do a greater job of matching Ennis as a result of he’s getting off to a poor begin with him preventing David Avanesyan and now Chukhadzhian. With teh manner issues are going, Ennis is heading in the identical route as Demetrius Andrade, a former Matchroom fighter, who Hearn matched in opposition to weak oppoisition and didn’t additional his profession.
WBC tremendous flyweight champion ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) defends in opposition to Pedro Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KOs) within the co-feature. Followers on social media consider the Rodriguez vs. Guevara battle ought to be the true headliner becaue there’s extra curiosity in that match-up than the principle occasion mismatch between Boots and Chukhadzhian.
Ennis already beat that man by a lopsided 12-round unanimous determination a yr in the past on January seventh, profitable by the scores 120-108, 120-108, and 120-108.
