Eddie Hearn Defends Uisma Lima as an opponent of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis for the debut of 154 pounds, quoting the first 10 rankings in the middle of the criticism of the fans

Promoter Eddie Hearn defended his choice of Uisma Lima for his Matchs Hall, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, to fight his debut on October 11 in Philadelphia.

Hearn said that Lima (14-1, 10 kos) is ranked among the top 10 by three of the four organizations of half junior weight. He says his only loss against Aaron McKenna came when he fought with a five -day warning.

The fans have criticized the selection of Hearn, saying that he could have chosen Jesus Ramos, Israil Madrimov or Serhii Bohachuk. Instead, it focused on the lens and easy to hit Lima, whose record swells with wins on 14 unknown adversaries, excavated from various parts of the world.

Lima is number 9 IBF, #9 WBC and #10 WBA at 154. However, there are many defective contenders classified on it. Therefore, it does not mean anything that is classified in the top 10.

“It’s a great struggle. You have a boy among the top ten with three governing bodies,” said Eddie Hearn in The troubled landSpeaking of Uisma Lima. “He has been on the road in his last three fights, overcoming the unbeaten fighters.”

Classifying -among the top 10 places is not in any class of weight, especially at 154. If you are not ranked among the top five in 154, you are defective. Even being ranked among the top five does not mean much. Josh Kelly and Jorge Garcia are the first 5 and the fighters at the level of travelers, with talent. Uisma Lima’s unilateral defeat against Aaron McKenna in 2022 showed his limitations as a fighter.

“We could have chosen people who didn’t even win. We offered eight fighters the struggle,” said Hearn. “Everyone talks about wanting (Rashidi Ellis, Abel Ramos and Josh Kelly), and they were only so struggled because they know how good the “boots” are.

Hearn was combing 147 pounds for adversaries for ennis to acclimatize him to 154, and he was not pointing. Abel Ramirez, heavy weight has six losses in his resume. Ellis is another marginal fighter of 147 lb. The real question is, why did Hearn search the heavy weight division in search of opponents to help prepare the “boots” for 154? The only reason you would choose them is to make Ennis look better than him.

“I wanted someone to 154 to be a true 154, not a 147 pounds that have moved, who will win, really is really hard. And that’s Lima,” said Hearn. “He is a good fighter. It’s not an easy struggle. When you talk about the other fighters we talked about. Ellis, Lima beats. (Brian) Mendoza, Lima beats him.”

Mendoza has lost two of his last three fights. Therefore, it is not a great thing that Lima came. I don’t know I would. As bad as Aaron McKenna defeated Lima, Mendoza would.

Hearn fighters should have chosen

• Jesus Ramos Jr
• Serhii Bohachuk
• Israil Madrimov
• Charles Conwell
• Erickson Lubi
• Yoenis tellez
• Tim tszyu

“This is a boy (Lima) who has lost once in a four -day or five -day warning” (Aaron McKenna for a unanimous decision of ten rounds), “Hearn said about Lima.” This is a hard young man who comes with a lot of spirit and I need someone to try “boots” at 154 before diving -in all big fights. “

The reason Lima lost to McKenna was not due to him who took the fight with a five -day warning. It was beaten because it was overcome from the outset. Hearn is being rampant when to blame the defeat of Uisma against McKenna in his struggle with a brief warning. It could be seen from the first lap that was over the head. Lima was too slow and McKenna did not fall for her simplistic fences.

“Yes, of course,” Hearn said when asked if Lima is used to prepare Ennis for Vergil Ortiz Jr. “There is nothing wrong with a young man (28) like” boots “who has a fight at 154 against a boy who is the top 10 in the world. But people want to moan. We see. The test is in the stinking.

“I bet Lima gives us a great struggle on October 11, and he will have energy and full of desire, and this is what we want,” said Hearn.

This is predictably a complete white with dominant ennis Lima. However, instead that Hearn reviewed his previous comments, admitting that he was mistaken in overcoming Uisma Lima, he will be announced about the great Ennis. Will not admit that you have been wrong selecting
