Eddie Hearn explains the strategic adjustment battle for Jaron’s “boots” Ennis before facing Virgil Ortiz Jr.
Eddie Hearn says Jaron’s “boots” Ennis is ready to fight Virgil Ortiz Jr. after a tune-up fight in September or October. Hearn says, “Not so.”unreasonable” After Ennis (34-0, 30 Kos) rises from 147, you get one tune-up at 154.
Fans don’t understand why Ennis needs a tune-up first. Given that it’s just 7 pounds and he’s at the height of his career at the age of 28, when 37-year-old Terrence Crawford moved to 154 last August, he didn’t need any adjustments. He challenged WBA junior middleweight champion Isler Madrimov and finished a year-long layoff.
Boots Secret Battle Plan
“We were asked to do that fight on August 16th. We accepted. They said Vergil wasn’t ready,” Eddie Hearn said. Aki Why Jaron Ennis hasn’t competed with Virgil Ortiz Jr. yet. “Then they said they wanted to fight on November 22nd. We’re already in a fight with boots planned for the end of September or early October.”
If Ennis is going to fight in September or October, Hearn keeps it a secret as nothing has been announced. If Boots refused to fight Teofimo Lopez and didn’t want to stay at 147 for another fight with Devin Haney, the only thing we’ve heard. They would have been Ennis’ massive paydays. How can he turn them down?
If he’s going to turn down the big fight offered to him, what is he using for the multi-fight extension for multi-room boot signature boots? The Vergil Ortiz contest is just the tip of the iceberg. Boots refused to fight left and right so that Yoy could do it.
Crawford criticizes Ennis’ decision
Terrence Crawford said in the past that Ennis had the opportunity to fight him and had not said this on social media. @Jaronennis had two opportunities to fight me. We’re talking about kids still fighting in the theatre. Make that logical. ”
Why Ennis needs 154 tune-up
“We’re going to fight Virgil Ortiz, but he (Ennis) plays that one (tune-up) fight at 154Hearn said of the boots he hopes to tune up at the junior middleweight division.
Many fans lost faith in Ennis fighting against either Virgil Jr. or big names. His three fights are perfect examples. The recent battle of these boots:
-Eimantas Stanionis
– Karen Chukazian
– David Avanesian
“This fight will be bigger and bigger. I don’t like marinating fights, but these two are great, undefeated fighters,” said Hahn about Ennis vs. Ortiz Jr. Clash. “The battle will be bigger and bigger. There’s no need to wait long for that battle.”
How can Ennis Virgil Jr. get bigger so that the boots turn down all the big fights and make it a Mega Crash? If Ennis is just being coordinated, it won’t be a massive battle. Vergil Jr. almost lost his final battle with Israil Madrimov. Had Madrimov not been separated from cases of acute bronchitis, he would probably have been beaten.
Even if Madrimov is not 100% he has given Virgil Jr. many punishments. The fight showed Ortiz Jr. could not continue to win any longer unless his promoter protects him. If Virgil Jr. loses to someone, Ennis’ battle is worth nothing.
Hearn predicts Ennis will win comfortably
“You’ll see the boots against Ortiz because you probably have to wait until December, January or February. Mark these words. The boots win the battle comfortably with Virgil Ortiz. I love Vergill Ortiz, but he’s not gonna be Jaron ‘boots’ Ennis,” Hahn said.
If the fight occurs in December, Hearn is only four months away, so negotiations should begin now. It seems unrealistic for Ennis to fight Virgil in December, especially if he’s going to do two tune-ups.
