On the clock: Jaron Ennis has to look forward to the WBA -Super -title height with the mandatory challenger Shakhram Giyasov

The WBA committee today voted for the increase in Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (34: 0, 30 Kos) to the supermaster in the weight of the world and demanded that it defend himself against his obligatory Shakhram Giyasov (17-0, 10 Kos).

120-day period

Ennis is on the clock and has to defend himself against Giyasov within 120 days of winning the WBA title against Eimantas Stanionis on April 12th. Giyasov is a more powerful version of Karen ChukhadzhianA fighter who gave ‘boots’ Ennis a difficult time on November 9 last year. Giyasov has skills, power and he can move. On paper it is a nightmare for the easy -to -do boots.

Ennis cannot avoid defending against Giyasov because he already stepped aside to allow him to combat Stanionis in an association. Of course, the promoter of Boots, Eddie Hearn, can find a way out for him to avoid his prescribed title defense.

Fuchs in the chicken house?

If the Old Fox Hearn with the WBO world champion of the World Heritage Weight Brian Norman or the WBC Champion Mario Barrios can set up an association fight for Ennis, he can be able to Weasel out From this risky title defense against the talented Olympic champion in 2016 Giyasov.

Hearn would have to open his piggy bank and offer Norman and Barrios a wide range so that they agree to fight Ennis. He won’t do that because it would invest in Ennis.

These champions will not agree to fight Ennis for the money that Hearn offers because their chances of winning would not be great. I don’t see any of these guys who run the struggle with Ennis.

When Turki Alalshikh decided to help Hearn by offering Barrios or Norman a large wallet to fight Ennis, the fight can happen and he can avoid Giyasov. Hearn will probably hope for this because, if he lets Ennis fight against Giyasov, he loses or looks just as bad as in his remaining with Karen. The stocks of boots fell away from this fight.

Fortunately, he had a weak champion, Stanionis who held the WBA. That was the ideal opponent for Ennis to look like 24,000 gold against a faulty belt holder.

“Ennis is now commissioned to defend his super championship against Shakhram Giyasov – the official official challenger of the division … According to WBA rules, Ennis has to compete against Stanionis against Giyasov within 120 days of his victory. The winner of Ennis vs. Giyasov will compete. WBA The committee ruled today.
