Ennis vs Stanionis fight week!

Good analysis. Although I hate to nitpick, but the the fight is on DAZN. Which means Stanionis is even more likely to get robbed.

 

Boots got hit in double digits ten out of twelve rounds against Chukhadzhian last time out. Karen punched with a thirty-five percent connect rate.

While Boots looks cool doing his defense slip dancing, he looks stupid getting hit repeatedly considering many think he's some defensive genius.

I think that, with his weight cutting, will catch up to Ennis here.

 

I haven't seen alot of Stanionis if i'm being honest so i can't comment alot on how he matches up with Ennis.

But on paper this is Ennis's best opponent right ? and in all honesty i've been commenting for quite awhile now that Ennis gets hit far too much for my liking and will be found out once he fights an elite opponent his own size possibly at 154.

I like Ennis and i wish him well and i do like watching him fight but i can see some glaring flaws in him especially when he stays in the pocket too long admiring his work and getting hit.

Will Stanionis be the man to really expose them flaws ? i don't know but it's definitely the most interesting fight of Ennis's career so far.

 

I'm backing Staniosis. Excellent underrated fighter

 

Pretty stoked for this one and expecting a great scrap. Stanionis is no joke and could potentially give Ennis fits. I expect Ennis to find a way to win but I'll be even more impressed if either guy ends up beating the other in convincing fashion.

 

I think I would give Stanionis a better chance if he wasn't so inactive. It's not his fault of course; he got screwed over by Ortiz Jr twice. He looked very sluggish in his previous outing, showing quite a bit of ring rust. Ennis didn't look very good in his previous fight either. He arguably lost that fight, but he is more active.

I think Ennis will win a close decision. Stanionis need to get his sharpness back to have a chance.

 

This wasn't clear at all. Actually what was clear was Ennis won a close fight. You'd have to be biased to score that to Karen.

People are making too much of the Karen fight. Ennis had already beat him by shutout in the first fight and was only fighting him again because he was mandatory. Looked to me like he was trying to put on a show because he expected it to be easy again, but Karen actually came to fight this time. Ennis will go into this fight actually respecting his opponent.

 

I'm actually quite hyped for this.

 

Interesting that Dulome is their common opponent, he went the 12 rounds with Stanionis and was stopped by Ennis in the first round. I'll lean Ennis in this fight if he doesn't have stamina problems, he's younger , has a 2 inch height advantage and a 6 inch reach advantage plus he's had 34 fights to Stan's 16. Add to this the fact promoters can make far more with Ennis than Stan so he'd have to REALLY win clearly to get a decision and I can't see that..
