Jaron Ennis looks unstoppable, but there is a blueprint to beat him.
He is not totally unbeatable is Jaron Boots Ennis, his undefeated record is a bit padded and that victory over Xander Zayas lately proved his suspect defense true again.
Movement against him puzzles him, some notes on other boxers fighting him moving into his next bout from a technical boxing standpoint;
- Pivoting to Ennis’ right neutralizes his lead hook.
- Straight-back retreat plays directly into his combination range.
- Lateral steps force Ennis to reset his feet repeatedly.
- He struggles to land cleanly when opponents circle wide.
- Moving sideways takes away his power-punch loading zone.
- Ennis relies on opponents staying in front of him.
- Quick outside pivots disrupt his rhythm and timing.
- Good footwork makes his speed less overwhelming.
- Staying off the centerline reduces his knockout opportunities.
- Lateral movement forces him to work harder for every punch.
The above are key areas for his opponents to take notes of and expose him in his boxing game next up.
He is overrated and not the next pound for pound number one, he needs to get his defense in order to prove himself.
And fight high level pound for pound boxing competition.
