Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Moving Up to 154 Pounds After Struggles Making Welterweight

Promoter Eddie Hearn Says Unified Welterweight Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Is “Moving Up” To 154. The Decision was Made His Team Conducted Tests That Determined That Ennis (34-0, 30 Kos) Was Underperforming Due to His Struggles to Make Weight For The 147-LB Division. He’d outgrown The Division.

Hearn Says Will Fight in August or September, and He’s Open to Making a Fight Between Him and WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. IF Not Him, It’ll Be Someone Ese That Boots Fights in His debut 154.

Boots Ennis: 154-Pound Move

Hearn Says Ennis Was Only “50%” His Unification Fight Against WBA Wellterweight Champion Eimantas Stanionis on 12th April. He believes with Jaron Moving Up to 154, He’ll be 100%, and Fans Will Be Be Able to See How Much Better He At Full Strength.

“Boots Is Moving, After The Stanionis Fight, He Had His Team Him, The Doctors, The Tests, and What They’re Basically Is Boots Is Boots Is Backs,” Said Eddie Hearn To Fighthype. “You Saw On Him Week. It takes Hard Work (to Make 147).”

Boxing Fans Have for Noted Wow Now That Ennis has looked Making Weight, and they’ve wanted Him to Move Up to 154 to Take on The Bigger Name. Also, The Welterweight Division is Lacking Big Names. The Champions at 147 That Boots Needs to Fight to Fight His Goal Of Becoming Untisputed Would Likely Demand Of Subtantial Amount of Money, And It’s Not Worth It.

“The Amazing Thing Is, He did that to Stanionis 50% of His Physical Capabilities,” Said Hearn. “What His’s saying and What His Team Is Saying You’re Going To Get You’re Going To Get The Ring Underperform In The Ring, And It’s Just Going To Catch Up To Catch Up To Catch Up To You.”

Hearn Sounds Pleased That Ennis Is Planning Moving Up In Weight. It’s Pointless Boots to Stay at 147 to Continue Killing Hims to Make Weight, Because He’s Likely to Be Prevented From The WBC Title Against The Winner of the Mario Barrios vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight. Wheverthing Emerges AS The Winner’s Fight Will Avoid Ennis and Focus on Defending It Against Fighters Like Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, or Conor Ben.

“I Love The Teo Fight, And So Did Boots. But I Was Like, ‘Can I Perform To The Best Of My Abilities 147,” Said Hearn. “The Answer Is, ‘I Can Probably Good Enough To Win, But Not To The Best of My Abilities.’ So, When You See Boots 154, You’re Going To See What I’m Talking About. “

That Sounds Like Ennis Worried About Losing To Teofimo. That’s Surprising Because The West HE Performed Stanionis Last April, That Would Be More Than Enough for Him to Defeat Lopez. Even That Drained Version Of Ennis Would Be Too Much For Teofimo.

“So, It’s Very Likely Those Belts (IBF and WBA WELTERWEIGHT) Are Going To Be Vacated,” Hearn Said. “We’re Going To Meet. But Yeah, It’s Time to move to 154, and he’s been Unified. It’s Time to Try to Bece-Division World Champion.”

IF Boots His IBF and WBA WELTERWEIGHT titles, He’s Going to the Later, Because As I Mentioned, He Won’t Get The Opportunity to Fight For The Last Two Remaining Belts. The Popular Fighters, Haney and Ryan Garcia, Wo’t Fight Him. They know them’d Lose.

“They Said, ‘Would You Fight Vergil Ortiz in August?’ And We Said, ‘Yes.’ And then the Came Back and Said, ‘Vergil Wasn’t Ready for August.’ I Said, ‘We’re Happy. That’s One of The Best In The Sport, and Vergil Is A Great Fighter.’ We’re Talking at the moment. Boots Will Fight Around August Or, and We’ll Make The Vergil Ortiz Fight Now. I Think It’s A Brilliant Fight at 154, “Said Hearn.

IF Ortiz Jr. Isn’t Ready to Fight In August, He Should Go After IBF Champion Bakhram Murteriev or WBC Champ Sebastian Formella.

“We want to be in the Biggest Fights. Obviously, Hey Win a World Title, Getting a Championship. So, Yeah, All For A Real Physically 100% Boots Ennis, Which Is A Frightening Proposition, Given the performance That He Gave Against Stanionis, “Said Hearn.
