When is Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Uisma Lima? Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Uisma Lima is on Saturday, October 11. The broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (1 a.m. BST).

The stakes are raised for Jaron "Boots" Ennis' foray into the 154lbs division, even if the matchup itself leaves a lot to be desired.

When the rest of us meet up with a friend in a resort town to throw back a few rounds and put on a few pounds, it tends to be a vastly different experience than it was for Jaron Ennis.

As profiles go, Uisma Lima knows that his own flies well under the radar of the average boxing fan. Then again, he also knows full well that profiles don’t win fights.
