Gervonta 'Tank' Davis v Hector Luis Garcia 7/1/2023

[Master]

Jaron 'Boots' Ennis hopes to continue his rampage through the welterweight division on Saturday night when he takes on Karen Chukhadzhian on the undercard of Gervonta 'Tank' Davis vs. Hector Luis Garcia.

Ennis has made himself one of boxing's most exciting talents since turning professional 2016, amassing a 29-0 record with 27 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

Ennis will be looking to make it 28 knockout wins when he faces Chukhadzhian this weekend and when speaking in the final pre-fight press conference, the 25-year-old American revealed that he has been using elements of a heavyweight boxing legend's style to benefit his own.

"I’m on my ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. I don’t go in there looking for the knockout, but if I see that opening, I’m definitely taking it. I’m not afraid to get him out early. Everyone knows I’m in and out like a robbery," Ennis claimed.

“I’m putting my own twist on Tyson. I picked up a few things from watching Tyson, so this is gonna be a fun night. I’m going to be explosive with it.

“My message to the world is just continue to watch me grow and progress and make sure you don’t miss this knockout on Saturday night."

Good to see Boots trying to kick up the personality but I always get a little head tilt when young guys talk about doing a Mike Tyson. Two completely different looks and approaches to me and honestly..he doesn't need it for comparisons. Most already see him being the unanointed 'next' 147 star and expect him to do a serious number on Karen fella Saturday night so focus centerline. I see no chance of upset for him but cards like this one in particular always give a whiff of some top dog possibly overlooking what are pretty much on paper overmatched opponents. But hey, upsets are awesome too.

hector deserves some credit here for fighting his third highly rated opponent on the trot & tank is one weight class higher

Full credit he's earned his big mark by bringing Colbert down to Earth and solid win next out so him jumping at a 'ppv' opportunity to be expected. Owning a 130 trinket helps massively too.

This card is already 8 fights in and hasn't started the ppv portion yet? Can't see a thing but understand just 4 left.

Andrade gets his standard issue distance decision, very wide on the cards. Nicholson stayed in gritty and Andrade felt it a little bit more in small spots than the numbers indicated but as advertised result at the end. Couldn't make out the interview but think Andrade did some random yelling again.

Villa is a massive wide but glacial like presence. Not getting off too much at all. Ellis cannot have a minute of let down but pot shotting that jab all night. If Villa has a gas tank and eventually lights a fire under himself he may be pretty dangerous.

Evening chaps. This is a little one sided but a decent enough undercard fight I suppose.
