GARFIELD, N.J. — Richard Pierson knows why he has been brought to Atlantic City.
The relatively unknown super middleweight is the supposed “B” side in an ESPN2 co-featured fight Friday night against Philadelphia’s Farah Ennis at Resorts Casino Hotel.
The 29-year-old Ennis is 19-1 (12 KOs) and a former NABF 168-pound champion attempting to overcome a costly loss 15 months ago to then-unbeaten Alexander Johnson (12-1, 5 KOs). The 31-year-old Pierson is an enigmatic former Kelly Pavlik sparring partner who has fought just three times in the past four years.
