Derek “Pooh” Ennis: Enter the Mind of a Philadelphia Champion

Derek has an upcoming fight this Friday March 4th in Atlantic City


MA: Do you like watching boxing or just like to compete?
I watch certain people. I watch certain people…certain stars and then people I support and know.


MA: Like who?

I like Floyd Mayweather, JR. I watch all the big time fights that come up. But I like Floyd’s style. I like Shane Mosley. I like a lot of different fighters. The older fighters are what I like more than anything. I really like Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker and “Sugar” Ray Leonard they’re the ones I really like.


MA: Speaking of Shane, who I am a big fan of, what do you think his chances are against Manny Pacquiao?

I don’t know why people are counting him out. I don’t think they should count him out. Shane still has speed…he has power. There is a puncher’s chance in the boxing world. All it takes is one punch.


MA: That would be crazy if he knocked out Pacquiao.


Yeah.


MA: What’s the current boxing atmosphere in Philadelphia?
Its great man, we have a lot of young fighters coming up and doing their thing right now. Like my brother, Farah, he is going for the NABF Championship. Demetrius Hopkins, there are a lot of guys out there doing their thing… Jamaal Davis, Steve Cunningham, there is a lot of people, Eddie Chambers; I can keep on going naming names.
