Farah “The Quiet Storm” Ennis started off Boxing’s biggest weekend in Atlantic City with a bang as he remained undefeated and captured the NABF Super Middleweight championship with a seven round beat down of Victor Lares that highlighted a big seven bout card dubbed Battle II at Harrah’s Resort & Casino that was promoted by Mike Brestle’s Spartan Fight Promotions.
Ennis broke down the game Lares throughout the fight as he used shots to the head and body that caused three knockdowns and a bloodied Lares as the bout was stopped by referee Eddie Cotton at 2:34 of round seven.
The win moves Ennis to 17-0 with eleven knockouts and the stoppage was the end of a perfect year for Ennis who went 6-0 with six knockouts in 2010.
In the co-feature, top Heavyweight contender Chazz Witherspoon took apart Alexis Mejias as Mejias did not come out for the fifth round of their scheduled ten round bout.
Witherspoon was very effective with his jab that caused swelling around the eyes of Mejias and then started unleashing some hard rights that buckled Mejias on several occasions.
In between round’s four and five, Mejias had seen enough and the fight was stopped.
The undercard featured five undefeated prospects who kept their ledgers clean as Light Heavyweight Lavarn Harvell, Lightweight Joey Tiberi and Lightweight Keenan Smith scored stoppages while Super Middleweight Joel De La Paz & Ismael Garcia cruised to decisions.
