Patience will be key for Jaron Ennis
Jaron Ennis continues to impress, but there is no need to rush his development, writes Nigel Collins
JARON ENNIS’ flamboyant style is a hybrid, grounded in bedrock fundamentals but expressed in a seemingly spontaneous manner. It was far too much for the normally durable
Sergey “Samurai” Lipinets to handle during their scheduled 12-round welterweight bout at the Mohegan Sun Casino on Saturday (April 10). The California-based Kazakh was knocked out at the 2-11 mark of the sixth round, the victim of a continual beating and a right-left coup de grâce that left him helpless on his back.
David Benavidez gets back on track by stopping Ronald Ellis
FOR all his pronouncements about reaping the spoils of boxing,
David Benavidez has a curious relationship to success.
There was that time, in 2018, when his dalliance with a certain powdery white friend briefly derailed his white-hot career and saw him get stripped of his WBC super-middleweight title. Then Benavidez rebounded, swore he was a reformed man, and, in no time, the Arizonan reclaimed his old belt.
But then last August came around and, almost like clockwork, he was stripped of his title again, this time on the scales by coming in nearly three pounds over the limit ahead of his eventual 10th-round stoppage of Roamer Angulo.
Mouthy Adrien Broner does not impress while decisioning the game Jovanie Santiago
Jack Hirsch not impressed with Adrien Broner but Otto Wallin marches towards a heavyweight title shot
IN the past, Showtime has relieved three of its analysts (Bobby Czyz, Antonio Tarver, and Paul Malignaggi) of their broadcast duties because they crossed a line that did not meet with the network’s moral standards, yet they continue to condone
Adrien Broner’s vulgar conduct that was on display at the post fight interview after he was awarded a unanimous 12 round decision over Puerto Rico’s Jovanie Santiago.
The words Broner uttered won’t be repeated here – they need no further exposure – but what is obvious is, even at age 31, Broner is not maturing.
Lennox Lewis heard talk in 2000 that Michael Grant was boxing’s next great heavyweight. By Thomas Hauser
THE mid-20th century gave birth to a new breed of athlete; men who were big, well-coordinated, and faster than men their size had been before. By the start of the new millennium, athletes had further honed their natural gifts and were even bigger than their predecessors. Two heavyweights personified this trend: Lennox Lewis and Michael Grant. When they met in the ring at Madison Square Garden on April 29, 2000, Lewis was the reigning heavyweight champion. But Grant was seen in some circles as the heir apparent to the throne.
