IBF welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs) regarded drained in the present day throughout his PR face-off with challenger David Avanesyan (30-4-1, 18 KOs), 4 days earlier than they battle on Saturday, July thirteenth.
Ennis, 27, is the favourite to defeat Avanesyan of their twelve-round headliner on DAZN. Nonetheless, you may’t rule out an upset if he will get caught by one of many challenger’s huge pictures on the Wells Fargo Middle in Philadelphia.
Ennis’s Uncharacteristic Fatigue
Boots Ennis needed to make some changes to Avanesyan’s fashion shortly after his initially scheduled opponent, Cody Crowley, pulled out because of well being issues. Ennis states that it’s not been a giant deal for him to regulate to Avanesyan’s fashion, however we’ll see if that’s the case.
Throughout in the present day’s face-off, Boots appeared much less assured. Avanesyan, 35, regarded extra assured and comfy on the weight. He’s more likely to rehydrate lower than Boots, which may assist him.
“Avanesyan is often a really sturdy man, however Crawford knocked him out with one punch, which to me is a shocker,” stated boxing professional Paulie Malignaggi on his channel about David Avanesyan struggling a sixth-round knockout loss to Terence Crawford in his final battle on December tenth, 2022 in Omaha, Nebraska.
“I used to be stunned that Crawford stopped him with one punch. He’s [Avanesyan] very sturdy. He’s type of a prospect-buster,” stated Malignaggi about Avanesyan. He beat guys like Josh Kelly. He beat Kerman Lejarraga and one or two different guys.”
Crawford stopping Avanesyan has nothing to do with what the Boots Ennis battle as a result of he’s not on the identical degree as Terence. Crawford is a greater fighter than Ennis, so you may’t fault Avanesyan for getting knocked out by him in 2022.
Ennis’s Weight Drain: A Recipe for Upset?
“He’s a very rugged man, very sturdy man. I suppose you would forgive him [Avanesyan] for being stopped by one punch. It was a one-punch stoppage that basically shocked me. I don’t know if his chin is beginning to be dented right here as a result of he’s often a sturdy man who makes you go rounds and presses you.”
If Boots Ennis is weight-drained, Avanesyan could have a great opportunity of successful this battle and probably knocking him out. That may be a large upset, however it wouldn’t be that a lot of a shock, given how Boots regarded in the present day.
