Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis was fired for Vergil Ortiz Jr. Clash at 154 lbs: “The Battle Everyone Wants to See”
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis wants to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. and believes that could happen as he moved to 154. Ennis promoter Eddie Hearn is reportedly negotiating with Ortiz JR promoters on Golden Boy to put together the September or October fight.
Hearn negotiates the battle for Ennis Ortiz Jr.
Boots (34-0, 30 KOs) says that if the battle of Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 Kos) doesn’t happen next, he has many other excellent options to fight at 154. He wants Vergil Jr.’s fight.Earn a lot of money. ” However, it depends on whether Hearn is able to put together a deal that makes sense for both fighters.
“That fight can definitely happen, and that’s a battle that everyone wants to see. I’m 154. It had to happen,” Jaron Ennis said. YSM Sports Media Regarding his fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr., “That fight will earn you a lot of money. It will sell out wherever you are.”
Negotiating the fight can be a nightmare for Ennis promoter Eddie Hearn. He has to deal with Oscar de la Hoya, the boss of Golden Boy Promotions. Vergil Jr. is now his last hope of becoming a superstar. He wants a big buck for Ortiz Jr. given the risks that come with combat boots. If Ortiz Jr. is beat hit, he will, De La Hoya will hope to make money huge for the fight.
Ennis deals with the “ducking” claim
“That’s an extra motivation. I can’t wait to close Y’all,” Boots said of the fans, who defeated Vergil Ortiz Jr. “We are here now, and it is time.
Boxing fans may continue to label the boots as ducks if Hearn can’t negotiate a deal to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. in September. With the boots now 154, people are hoping that battle will happen next. If not, they try to point their fingers of responsibility at Jaron, believing he has lost his nerve again, just as they chose not to fight Ortiz Jr. last February.
Beyond Ortiz Jr: Ennis Options
“There are so many. I’m here now. So, whatever the right person is willing to come next, that’s what we’re trying to do. Whatever the next best option is, that’s what comes next,” says Jesus Ramos, Serhee Bohakk, Jermel Charo, Sebastian Zayas, Zareil Madrimov and Isreil Madrimov.
What Ennis and promoter Eddie Hearn do for them is the deep pool of 154 talents they should choose. The pressure to get one big fight, like in 147, is less, and when Hearn fails to negotiate a unified clash with WBO champion Brian Norman Jr., he wants more money than he willing to offer.
If Hearn is unable to negotiate a deal with Vergil Ortiz Jr. in September or October, he can turn his attention to other fighter jets such as Fundora, Madrimov, Ramos, Charlo, or Bohachuk.
Ennis’ 154 pound knockout power
“Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, I know there are a lot of explosive knockouts from me,” Boots said of how he plays on the 154.
I believe the boots will be stronger in junior middleweight because they don’t have to lose weight the same way he competed in welterweight. Pond, who had to take off to descend to 147, left him with a skeleton showing on the measurements.
Jaron looked like someone who was eating a starving food when he hit the scale. I had to hurt his performance last year or two at welterweight. That might explain why Ennis wasn’t impressed in his two fights with Karen Charhajian.
