Errol Spence Jr: “Jaron [Ennis] Very skilled, I don’t herd ducks or avoid anyone.”

By: Hans Themistode

Slowly but surely, Jaron Ennis has captured the attention of every notable weight class competitor in the world. The harmful knockout artist has warned every challenger placed before him of another world defeat heading their way. To no one’s surprise, he backed up every word he uttered on his way to a spotless record of 28 career games.

The punches of the 24-year-old, who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have done even more damage over the past year.

In the first half of 2021, Ennis plays against former 140-pound champion Sergey Lipinets. Despite stepping up, Ennis eliminated his man in explosive style, forcing Lipinets to kiss the canvas on the fourth round before he finally lay motionless on the sixth round.

For an encore, Lipinets easily handled the business against Thomas Dulorme in the last quarter of the year. Philadelphiaelphian knocked Dulorme out with a wicked right hook early in the opening round, before ending the show seconds later.

As Ennis left a long trail of his heavy body, he repeatedly banged on the doors of Errol Spence Jr., Yordenis Ugas and Terence Crawford – the division’s three belt holders.

In the case of Spence Jr., in particular, Ennis enjoyed a showdown against him. While he’s not picky, considering that Spence Jr holds two heavyweight titles at the moment, more than Ugas and Crawford, Ennis sees fighting him as a quicker way to get there. its undisputed goals.

For now, Spence Jr practically couldn’t help but notice what Ennis had achieved. And, by all accounts, the unified list is thoroughly impressive.

“Jaron, I feel that he is very skilled, has many talents, good reflexes.” Spence Jr. told a group of reporters. “He can really fight. I like him. He has a lot of talent, I respect the talent. He has all the tools to do the real thing.”

In all, Spence Jr was able to use Ennis’ spectacular skills from afar but in the short term he could be forced to deal with him up close and personal.

To start 2022, Ennis will face an undefeated candidate, Custio Clayton, in an IBF final elimination, for a crack at Spence Jr. The two are scheduled to face off on May 21 at an unspecified location. .

Although the win for Ennis gave him a quick lead over Spence Jr., the Dallas-born player was preoccupied with other pressing matters. On April 16, Spence Jr will attempt to unify the heavyweight titles when he takes on WBA champion Yordenis Ugas.

Ultimately, the immediate goal of Spence Jr. was to cut Ugas’ reign as world champion short before plunging into the undisputed showdown with Crawford. However, with other ideas in mind, Spence Jr wanted to make it clear that he wasn’t dodging the Ennis match.

“In the future, we will see, we will see. I don’t avoid or avoid anyone. ”
