Rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs) faces former world champion Sergey Lipinets (16-1-1, 12 KOs) in a twelve-rounder on Showtime April 10 from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
In the co-feature, Eimantas Stanionis (12-0, 9 KOs) meets former world title challenger Thomas Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KOs) in a 12-round WBA welterweight title eliminator. The telecast opener features IBF junior bantamweight champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 KOs) defending his title against Jonathan Rodríguez (22-1, 16 KOs) in a 12-round bout.
Boots is a Beast! Ennis vs. Ortiz late 2022 or early 2023, welterweight Superfight.
That’s an excellent fight in the main event and a pretty good card altogether.
This is a good test for Ennis. I want to see how Ennis deals with pressure. I hope to see how Ennis deals with possible ring discomfort during inside fighting (i.e. limited holding). Last, let’s see if Ennis’ chin gets tested and if so, I want to see how Ennis reacts to getting his chin tested.
I have high hopes for the Ennis train, but Vergil Ortiz, Jr. is also sounding like an approaching train on Ennis’ train track; and they will later create a MASSIVE COLLISION AT 147.
Lipinets is a busy solid fighter that will push Ennis possible to a level he is not used too. Great “test” fight to see if Ennis can move up to bigger and better than things to come.
Excellent test for Ennis.
