Boots should win a comfortable decision. Stanionis does everything well, but he doesn't really excel in anything.
I am a huge Stanionis stan, but Ennis has more wrinkles to his game. Neverthless, I think Stanionis fights with such discipline and composure (think of a team that doesn't beat itself with careless turnovers) that he not only sees the final bell but wins 4 or 5 rounds in the process.
Much rather see ortiz vs stanionis or rocha Boots vs rashidi or ortiz Boots vs stanionis or rocha isnt even a challenge
Stanionis seems the more tougher of the two, I see him being the last man standing in a war. Though Ennis looks a superb talent, I've seen him momentarily hurt, with not the best defence, and he wasn't a top amateur like Stanionis ..he doesn't have that pedigree. Stanionis seems physically and mentally extremely tough, My money is on Stanionis.
I think Stan's style, toughness and power could prove problematic for Super Boots but ultimately I see him taking too many clean shots on the way in and getting stopped at some point.
Not so close.Butaev showed that Stanionis could be outboxed without risk.BUT Butaev was too wild and after 1, 2 minutes of outboxing his opponent, then again the wild in him was back and he was eating everything in a close distance fight for next couple rounds.Every round ,every minute, and every second he was just boxing smart, Stanionis was outboxed by Butaev(who is a good boxer, not a shame to be outboxed by him) Ennis can do the same, even better, but he won't be wild and eager for the KO like Butaev. Wide UD for Ennis or after tiring Stanionis finishing him in late rounds.
Boots wipe the floor with Stanionis...And I like Stan. Stan is easy to hit and Boots would put multi-punch combos on him all night until he crumbles...
