Is Jaron Ennis vs Eimantas Stanionis fight a foregone conclusion...

[JakeTheBoxer]

Back than 2009 Zaveck went to South Africa to capture IBF belt from the hands of domestic guy Hlatschwayo.

Now it seems like a monster move compared to the way these guys took their belts.

I would go full force with Stanionis if he had more power.
My issue is that to get a draw he needs to win all 12 rounds.

I think Ennis is a better boxer, he's also substatially bigger. I'm not particularily excited for the match but definitely I'll watch.

So this is a division that had Mayweather, Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey...12-15 years ago.

It had Crawford, Spence, Porter, Ugas, Pacquiao...just a few years ago.

Now it is just meh division.

Barrios vs Norman should be getting made now to keep things moving.

Could you expand on how Ennis is a runner and a hugger? An example of a hugger to me would be someone like John Ruiz; a runner would be someone like Stevenson in his bouts against De Los Santos and Conceicao. How is Ennis in any way similar to what Ruiz or Stevenson behaved in the ring?

Just watch his matches before he went up against Karen.

Ennis should be winning this fight in flying colors just based on experience. Jaron Boots got a whopping 34 bouts on his record and Eimantas only got 16.

Jaron Boots should be winning this fight by stoppage.

Experience matters. 34 fights vs 16 fights.

Stanionis is a subtle tricky fighter. I think this fight will be better than most think. My biggest issue is that both guys have not been that active especially Stanionis.

I was impressed with Stanionis in his fight against Butaev. Radzhab is one tough Russian and I had my doubts he could hold up to the disciplined physicality Butaev brings.

Boots is a much different challenge but I think Stanionis has a consistent, disciplined approach with underrated skills. Boots is the better boxer with the physical gifts. Boots also has leaky defense and tends to get tagged while looking to unload his arsenal.

I could see Boots wanting to do more than simply outbox his opponent, and in the process, getting tagged clean by Stanionis. Let's see how that chin holds up if that happens.

Meaningful experience matters. Consistently fighting outmatched opponents can create complacency and reinforce bad habits. I'm not saying that's the case with Boots but it might be.

Ennis gets hit clean regularly. He’s looked defensively poor recently and his cranium size/neck length means it’s unlikely he’s super durable.

I would be surprised if Stan gives him a good beating
