Prediction: Jaron Ennis on Points
Result: Jaron Ennis by Points
Ennis gave us his worst performance to date. For anyone else a defence against Chukhadzian where you dropped him and win clearly would be fantastic but for a guy who has potential to be one of the best fighters in the sport’s history it was awful. Unacceptable defence for a pound for pound talent and a limited IQ. I’ve always thought he would tighten up his defence and box smarter on the outside when he fought the top level but now I’m not sure. I think he has honestly regressed recently and is leaning more on his power and pure athleticism but maybe it’s the tough weight cut to 47. He’s hopefully moving up now and the Ortiz fight should be next. I used to be extremely confident in Boots winning that but now I have no confidence at all. He has unlimited potential but his IQ is what will hold him back if he doesn’t start to fight smarter. The corner talks with Bozy were also really poor as he just kept shouting to “get this guy out of here” 🤦♂️ Respect to Chukhadzian though he really came to win here and gave it his absolute all. I think he’s probably the best welter outside Ennis but nobody is going to want to fight him how 😂
