Ennis: Extra Weight Won’t Matter For Abreu; I'll Go In There & Get The Stoppage

•Sep 19, 2020

Jaron Ennis isn’t unnerved by Juan Carlos Abreu’s attempt at gaining a physical and psychological advantage over him. The gifted Philadelphia welterweight spars with super middleweights and light heavyweights, so Abreu will be far from the biggest boxer with whom he has traded punches. The Dominican Republic’s Abreu weighed in at 150¼ pounds Friday, 3¼ pounds above the contracted limit of 147 for their 10-round fight Saturday night.

Had he taken a more patient approach when he battled Bakhtiyar Eyubov, Jaron Ennis thinks he could’ve scored a second-round knockout. Ennis eventually stopped Eyubov in the fourth round, but the gifted Philadelphia welterweight learned to remain calm from his last performance January 10 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The 23-year-old Ennis plans to apply what he learned versus Eyubov when he faces Juan Carlos Abreu in a 10-round fight Saturday night and beyond.

Juan Carlos Abreu made it clear Thursday that nothing about boxing Jaron Ennis concerned him. Apparently, he wasn’t worried about making weight, either.

Juan Carlos Abreu believes Jaron Ennis is a good fighter. Just how good remains to be seen, although he has no intention of sticking around for all ten rounds in order to find out. “I’m not going to allow the fight to go the distance,” Abreu insisted during a recent Zoom media conference call to discuss his scheduled 10-round crossroads bout with Ennis this weekend (Saturday, Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET). “I’m gonna take him into my territory and this fight will end in knockout. Either he knocks me out or I will knock him out.”

NEW YORK – Terence Crawford couldn’t have seen too much from Alexander Besputin on Saturday night that would concern the WBO welterweight champion about a future fight between them. The Russian southpaw is a powerful puncher, but he showed some offensive limitations and defensive vulnerabilities against Juan Carlos Abreu in their physical, foul-filled fight on the Vasiliy Lomachenko-Jose Pedraza undercard. Crawford watched from a ringside seat as Besputin scored two knockdowns and beat Abreu by unanimous decision – 100-88 on all three scorecards – in a 10-rounder in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Losing its main event might’ve cost ESPN viewers Saturday night. Nielsen Media Research ratings released Tuesday indicated that the network’s two-bout boxing broadcast from Fresno, California, was watched by an average of 534,000 viewers. That’s the lowest viewership for one of Top Rank’s live prime-time telecasts on ESPN since an average audience of 488,000 tuned in to watch a card headlined by Jose Ramirez’s unanimous-decision victory over Amir Imam in their 12-round WBC super lightweight title fight March 17 in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
