Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Vs. Eimantas Stanionis Full Fight Card Results

We’re underway in Atlantic City. Who doesn’t love a legitimate welterweight title fight?

At the end of the night, barring a draw, the IBF and WBA welterweight championships will be unified.

IBF champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis will face WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in a true unification fight. The winner will also become the Ring Magazine champion at 147 pounds, which adds another layer of prestige.

I have you covered for the entire televised/streamed portions of the broadcast. Here is a look at all of the fights. The results will be filled in as they happen.

Main Event – Welterweight Unification Bout

Jaron Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) vs. Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs)

IBF, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles

Results: TBA

• Raymond Ford (17-1-1) vs. Thomas Mattice (22-5-1) via unanimous decision (100-90)
  Super Featherweight

Ford’s new nickname should be the “Punisher.” As he has gained more experience and settled into a new weight class at 130 pounds, Ford is simply punishing opponents. He set the tone by hurting Mattice early in the first round and kept that same energy over 10 rounds.

He scored a complete shutout 10 rounds to none. That’s impressive against a decent pro like Mattice.

• Shakhram Giyasov (17-0, 10 KOs) def. Franco Ocampo (17-3) via TKO-4
  Welterweight

Giyasov scored an impressive fourth-round KO win over Ocampo on an emotional night. Giyasov recently lost his daughter. He dedicated the fight and all of his fights moving forward to her memory. Here is a look at the finish.

• Omari Jones (2-0, 2 KO) def. William Jackson (13-6) via KO-1
  Super Welterweight

Jones made quick work of Jackson, stopping him win the first round with a body shot. The punch didn’t look all that hard, though Sergio Mora tried hard to sell its effectiveness.

In any case, Jones looked smooth while he was in the ring and he got the job done in his second pro fight. Here is a look at the finish.

Undercard

• Zaquin Moses (3-0, 2 KO) def. Alex Pallette (1-4) via KO-1
  Super Featherweight

Moses easily pounded his way through Pallette who is not on the former’s level. Moses, Shakur Stevenson’s younger cousin, has excellent instinct, athleticism and skill. He has a high ceiling, but it is very early. Here is a look at the finish.

• Tahmir Smalls (14-0, 10 KO) def. Earl Bascome (13-2) via KO-1
  Welterweight

Smalls looked huge for welterweight and vastly superior to Bascome–who doesn’t fight often and came into the fight with just two wins by KO. At any rate, Smalls looks like a plus athlete with long arms and legit punching power.

Here is a look at the KO.

It’ll be interesting to see who Smalls is matched against next.

• Arturo Cardenas (16-0-1 with 10 KO) def. Edgar Joe Cortes (9-8-1) via TKO-8
  Super Bantamweight

Cardenas came in as the hot and undefeated prospect, but Cortes, a late replacement offered a bit more opposition than most expected. He took this fight on 4-days notice and made a good account for himself.

However, Cardenas turned up the heat through the fight and scored the stoppage win including three knockdowns. Here is a look at one of them.

Here is a look at the finish:

• Francisco Rodriguez (7-0) def. Naheem Parker (5-2) via TKO-4
  Lightweight

Rodriguez improved to 7-0 with a lopsided fight. He was easily the faster and more technical fighter. There are times when one prospect is clearly miles ahead of another. This is one of those examples.

Also, Parker’s corner might have been as big of an opponent as Rodriguez. He screamed at the top of his lungs the entire fight. I almost muted. It’s tough to imagine how a young fighter could perform well in that environment–especially when he or she is already faced with a tough opponent.

Parker’s corner did make one smart decision. They threw in the towel between the third and fourth round to save Parker from taking more punishment.

Ennis-Stanionis Fight Card Coverage

The early portion of the stream had IBF super lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins handling color analysis. Early on, he is doing an excellent job. It’ll be interesting to see if DAZN continues to have him wear this hat during future fight cards.

It’s a great look.

Keep refreshing for the latest reactions and results.
