Comments Thread For: Eimantas Stanionis: Beating Jaron Ennis will make me the top welterweight

[crimsonfalcon07]

I have no problem with the fight at all
My only concern is will Stanionis be up to the task having fought only once in three years
Is it or will it be an excuse ???

Bigger issue for him will be 6" reach disadvantage and he doesn't really have power at the highest level. He was at reach disadvantages in his last fights also, but Ennis has way better feet than Maestre or Butaev, and I'm pretty sure he's faster too. They both throw similar amounts of punches in combination, so it's gonna be a tall order for Stanionis to outwork Ennis. Basically, I think he's got the short end of the stick when it comes to height, reach, speed, and power. Probably skill too, but at least Ennis is there to be hit, and Stanionis tends to be very accurate.

I am not sure if Stanionis can win, be he can make it tough for Boots, that is for sure.

And his inactivity will not benefit him at all
Hoping it won’t affect his fight plan

Considering Chukhadzhian had him struggling to stay afloat in their last fight, he has some practice.

Be sure to pivot, Stanionis. Don't stand still.
