Ennis has just a round to his name at 154 pounds. Zayas has been there for years.
He is already looking to go to middleweight as well after this fight so this weight cut is a big cocern for him.
The weight cut is a savage one for him and this could hamper him a bit in terms of cardio.
Ennis could be quite powerful and fresh at the weight as well.
Particularly if he carries some of that with him to 154 pounds and Zayas has not done the weight well.
That could tell from around 5 or so onwards.
This has the distance and points written all over it and if the fight does go the duration, Ennis has a cardio edge here possibly.
Who knows how the fight will go.
