The boots (34-0, 30 kos) took a low and less risky struggle against Eimantas Stanionis last Saturday in a play that many considered to be one of the self -conservation. Ennis took advantage of his possibilities against Vergil Ortz Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) and concluded that it was safer to take the easiest path against the heavy weight champion of the WBA, Stanionis (15-1, 9 kos).
It looks bad in the part of the boots he chose to fight minor, but you have to understand his situation. He had just fought for the second time against Karen Chukhadzhian last November in a fight he approached.
He had seen Vergil Jr. He had looked in his victory over the former WBC 154-pound champion, Serii Bohachuk last August.
)We all know that Boots does not want to fight Vergil. This is what happened, right? ”Said Oscar de la Hoya to Fight Hub TV When asked about his thoughts about a struggle between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr.
There is no other way to look at Ennis’s decision to make a smaller struggle against Stanionis, except for duck work. It is good for the fighters to know their limitations because Ennis had already seen enough Ortiz JR fights to know that he could not beat him.
So he went with the easiest struggle against Stanionis and used the excuse he wanted to remain in 147 to complete his goal of turning into an indisputable champion.
“We called him and we fought, and then (Team Boots Ennis) retreated,” he said of La Hoya. “So until I see something on the role that Boots wants to fight against Vergil, then I will believe it. Everyone called, and suddenly, they (Ennis) pulled the Vergil train,” said Hoya, when he asked him what to think that his boots did not want the struggle with Ortiz Jr.
“So, who knows what the reasons are, but look, Vergil is the man in 154. This is the bottom line,” Oscar said.
