Jaron “Boots” Ennis, the champion in the IBF welterweight division, successfully defended his title in his hometown of Philadelphia against David Avanesyan on Saturday night. While Ennis was considered the clear favorite, the unpredictable nature of boxing always keeps fans on their toes.
Ennis effectively utilized his height advantage by controlling the fight with his jab right from the beginning. Avanesyan was knocked down by a low blow early in the match. Ennis maintained his dominance in the subsequent rounds, demonstrating his talent and power with each punch.
Ennis showcased his superiority throughout the bout, while Avanesyan displayed resilience despite eventually succumbing to Ennis’ strength in the fifth round. The fight was halted by the ringside doctor due to the injuries sustained by Avanesyan, ending the match in Ennis’ favor.
