Rising star Jaron “Boots” Ennis wants to take out Roiman Villa on Saturday night. Fighting in front of Showtime cameras in Atlantic City, he did it. However, that is not easy for the 31-0 welding weight class. It wasn’t that Ennis had done anything wrong or looked weak. Simply Mansion 26-2 is a man who absolutely does not give up. Ennis had to chop his opponent like a red log. The fact that he was able to do so shows how good Ennis is.
The first inning saw Ennis keep his distance while delivering a sharp orthodox jab. Ennis switches to Southpaw at the beginning of the second. Less than a minute into the chapter, Ennis gave Villa a nosebleed. At the end of the round, Ennis was back to the mainstream and had good control over the course of the game. Villa had some sharp moments in the third inning, letting Ennis know he can hit very hard too. Indeed, at the end of the round, a gunfight broke out. However, how long can Villa hold out against an opponent of Ennis’ caliber?
Villa continued to advance in the fourth inning, but Ennis, with his faster, cleaner punches, was able to regain control of the match. However, the credit must go to Villa in the fifth inning, as the man not only kept going but didn’t fall under Ennis’ hammer-like punches. Without a doubt, it’s a fast-paced and exciting battle. A thunderous punch shook Villa in the sixth inning. He tried to keep his dear life while Ennis tried to end the battle early. The mansion was still standing when the bell rang.
Ennis nailed his man again midway through the seventh round – this time to the left, not the right. However, Villa did not come down and continued to shoot away. No matter how much Villa was paid for Saturday’s game, it wasn’t enough. In the 1/8 round, it was surprising that Villa still stood firm from round to round. He is being beaten, but he will not stop fighting. Ennis’ fist slammed into Villa’s head in the ninth minute. A series of shots finally knocked Villa down in the tenth minute. It’s unsettling to watch the cheeky Mansion go down in a slow motion. Fortunately, the referee knew enough to stop the game without even starting the count.
