Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Lipinets expecting "old-school melee" vs. Ennis
Former IBF 140-pound champion Sergey Lipinets shared insights into his training camp as he prepares to take on rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis in a twelve-round battle that headlines on Showtime Saturday, April 10th at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. in a Premier Boxing Champions event. The 32 year-old Lipinets became a champion at in 2017 when he dominated Akihiro Kondo on his way to a unanimous decision. After losing the title to Mikey Garcia via decision in March 2018, Lipinets began his campaign at 147 pounds, with his sights set on becoming a two-division champion.
Prior to a March 2019 showdown against former champion Lamont Peterson, Lipinets joined forces with trainer Joe Goossen to help guide him toward his welterweight goals. Lipinets showed immediate strides, stopping the durable Peterson in a memorable fight that he recently singled out as perhaps the best performance of his career. Lipinets followed that up with a knockout over Jayar Inson before most recently earning a draw against late-replacement Custio Clayton in their October 2020 clash.
Born in Kazakhstan and representing Russia, Lipinets now lives in Woodland Hills, California. Here is what Lipinets had to say from training camp in Los Angeles with Goossen:
On his current training camp: “Training is going really well. This is probably my hardest training camp ever. We’re training for Ennis’ physical abilities because we know he’s the full package as a fighter. He’s an up-and-comer with a lot on the line against me. So I’m really pushing myself. I’ve had to spar some really diverse fighters because Ennis does a lot of different things in the ring and he can switch up stances and styles. We’ve had some rigorous sparring sessions. Working with Coach Goossen is a great fit for me. He’s making it so that the things we’re working on are like second nature to me. It’s lots of work on combinations and throwing punches from different angles. Personality-wise we’re on the same page too, so we get along great, but he still pushes me.”
On Ennis being an “avoided” fighter: “I’m not sure why people say Ennis is avoided. On this level, nobody is afraid of anybody. I took this fight because I recognize that he’s one of the best welterweights out there, and I believe that when I beat him, it’ll put me in the mix for another championship fight. After this fight, the champions in this division are going to have to face me.”
On what he learned from his draw against Custio Clayton: “We didn’t have the proper amount of time to prepare for Clayton, and he’s not an easy guy to fight. He has a great amateur pedigree, and he’s athletic and boxes well. On top of all that, I pulled my left hamstring in the third round and it got worse and worse over the course of the fight. I don’t want to make excuses, but that wasn’t the best fight for me. What I learned from that fight and every other fight is that I have to fight from the first bell to the last bell. I’m prepared to go the full 12 rounds and give it my all, like always.”
On how his experience against top fighters and fighting during the pandemic will help him April 10th: “Mikey Garcia has a different physicality and power, so having gone 12 rounds with him might help me. I took some serious punches from him, and I did some damage to him as well. But Jaron was born with a mouthpiece in, not a pacifier. I know he’s a fighter and he’ll be ready. This fight will come down to sheer will. We’ll see on April 10 whether he’s ready for me, but I don’t think I have all that much more experience than him because I know he’s been around boxing his whole life. It’s good to have experience fighting during these times, but that won’t make much difference. No matter what, when the bright lights come on and the bell rings, I’m ready to go. I love to fight. That’s what I do, regardless of the bubble or wherever I am.”
On what fans can expect to see on April 10th: “I just want the sparks to fly. I believe that Jaron will bring out the best in me. I know that he’s a typical Philadelphia fighter who has a lot of pride, and I expect us to have an old-school melee on April 10th.”

Boots Ennis: I’m a dangerous man
Rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis says he’s ready for former world champion Sergey Lipinets on Showtime Saturday from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
“Whatever he brings, I’m going to be ready for it,” stated Ennis. “We don’t look at anybody as a stepping stone but this fight is going to take me to the next level. I can do a bunch of different things and my opponent doesn’t know how I’m going to come out. He just needs to know I’m ready and this is the hardest I’ve ever worked to get ready for a fight. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time and I finally got a guy with a name and now it’s my time to shine and show the world my talent and show them that I’m not to be played with. I’m a dangerous man and they will see on April 10.
“Every time I fight, they always say it’s a step-up. And then when I do what I do, they say I need to fight somebody better. At the end of the day, I just work for myself and my family and my team. I’m just focused on getting better each and every fight and I just work harder and harder every time so I can perform to the best of my ability and show the world that with each fight, I’m getting better, stronger and smarter.
“Beating Lipinets would take my career to the next level because he’s a former world champion at 140 pounds and he fought a lot of top guys. Making a statement against him is definitely a whole different level and it would boost me all the way up the rankings. I feel like after this fight, it’s on to bigger and better things. But we have business to handle on April 10 first.”

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
The biggest fight of Jaron Ennis’ career is officially on.
Ennis and Sergey Lipinets both made weight Friday morning for their 12-round welterweight fight Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena. Philadelphia’s Ennis stepped on the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation’s scale at 146.4 pounds, slightly less than Kazakhstan’s Lipinets, who weighed 146.8 pounds.
The 23-year-old Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs, 1 NC) is listed by most Internet sports books as a 12-1 favorite versus Lipinets the day before their “Showtime Championship Boxing” main event.
The 32-year-old Lipinets (16-1-1, 12 KOs), a former IBF junior welterweight champion, fought to a 12-round majority draw with Canada’s Custio Clayton in his last fight. Clayton (18-0-1, 12 KOs) won that fight for the IBF interim welterweight title on one scorecard, 115-113, but two judges scored it even, 114-114, on October 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Ennis’ most recent appearance abruptly ended before it really began.
South Africa’s Chris van Heerden suffered a deep cut on his forehead that prevented van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KOs, 1 NC) from continuing in the first round of their 12-rounder December 19 at Mohegan Sun Arena. That bout was consequently ruled a no-contest.
Moments before Ennis and Lipinets took center stage Friday morning, Eimantas Stanionis and Thomas Dulorme met their contractual obligations for another 12-round welterweight fight Saturday night.
Stanionis (12-0, 9 KOs), a 2016 Olympian from Lithuania, officially weighed 147 pounds. Puerto Rico’s Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KOs) came in at 146.4 pounds.
Showtime will televise Stanionis-Dulorme, a WBA eliminator, just before Ennis-Lipinets. Stanionis is consistently listed as a 10-1 favorite over Dulorme.
Like Lipinets for Ennis, the 31-year-old Dulorme is considered a significant step up in competition for the 26-year-old Stanionis.
Earlier Friday, Jerwin Ancajas and Jonathan Rodriguez made weight for their 12-round, 115-pound title fight, which will open Showtime’s tripleheader at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
The Philippines’ Ancajas came in at 114.8 pounds. Mexico’s Rodriguez officially weighed exactly 115 pounds.
The 25-year-old Rodriguez (22-1, 16 KOs) is the mandatory challenger for Ancajas’ IBF junior bantamweight title. They were supposed to fight last April 11 in Las Vegas, but that card was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 29-year-old Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 KOs), who is a 10-1 favorite, will end a 16-month layoff by making his ninth title defense against Rodriguez.

Ok clearly wasn’t a step to far. Weird fight, lots of mid range stuff, almost taking turns to throw, and the ring microphones were turned up so loud every shot sounded like a wilder right hand.

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Absolutely never going to happen but love to see him in with Connor Benn, I’d back boots, but, I dunno, still never seen him in a tough fight, I though lip would be but he seemed to be willing to take turns in a fight where taking turns didn’t seem smart.
Think with Ennis you either need to be in bullying, or well out of range. Much much much easier said than done though.

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Ennis is skilled and fun to watch, but it's time for a real step up fight to see what he's made of. Never been past 6 rounds? Lipinets is a good boxer, but limited. Mikey Garcia would be a better fight, as he dominated Lipinets. Crawford and Spence are shaking in their shoes, I'm sure. Vergil Ortiz Jr. would be the one now I'd pay to see, and think he'd beat Ennis. Ennis lost 3 out of 4 to Gary Russel in amateurs if I remember right.

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Why would you even bother to mention losses suffered by a 16/17 year old kid?
The 16 year old iteration of Mike Tyson was stopped by Al Evans.
Terence Crawford was beaten by Darnell Jiles Jr. when he was 16 years old.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was beaten by Martin Castillo when he was 17 years of age.
Do you think that losses incurred in the amateur ranks as a 16/17 year old actually mean anything to anyone?
I think you’re desperately looking for excuses to undermine Jaron Ennis, and you’ve resorted to scraping the barrel, by attempting to justify your criticism based on losses he may have suffered as a CHILD!
Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Lipinets was his sternest test so far at least on paper, and he absolutely smashed him. I hope he fights no lower than a Top 5 guy next time out. He looks ready for anyone to me.Bandog wrote: ↑11 Apr 2021, 08:41 Ennis is skilled and fun to watch, but it's time for a real step up fight to see what he's made of. Never been past 6 rounds?

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Jaron Ennis is claiming that he'll become a world champion either late 2021 or early 2022.
I can see him facing someone like Thomas Dulorme, before progressing to a shot at the regular WBA title held by Jamal James.
There isn't enough money to tempt Terence Crawford to cross the street from ESPN to face someone like Jaron Ennis.
Errol Spence Jr. has bigger fish to fry, since his next fight will likely be a title unification against Yordenis Ugas. And he'll probably try to secure bouts against other (big-name) fellow PBC stablemates after that (i.e. Pacquiao and/or Thurman).

Re: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets - April 10, 2021
Agree with all of this. Spence’s handlers will avoid him by jumping up to 154 soon. PBC clears the welterweight division for their next star that way.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑11 Apr 2021, 10:11 Jaron Ennis is claiming that he'll become a world champion either late 2021 or early 2022.

Boots is the most promising young welter today, scary set of combos and leverage.
