Matchroom introduced right now that Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez will share a card in a doubleheader on November ninth, reside on DAZN. The occasion will probably be staged on the Wells Fargo Middle in Philadelphia.
Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) will headline, defending his IBF welterweight title in a rematch towards his necessary Karen Chukhadzhian. It’s a questionable headliner as a result of lack of fan curiosity within the ‘Boots’ Ennis vs. Chukhadzhian rematch, however promoter Eddie Hearn hopes to show the Philadelphia native Jaron right into a star.
Hearn just lately misplaced the purse bid for the Ennis-Chukhadzhian, which begs the query: how did Hearn get Chukhadzhian’s administration to comply with have the combat staged in Philadelphia slightly than Germany?
Hearn possible needed to pay a princely sum to get Chukhadzhian to comply with combat in Philadelphia. In the long run, Hearn could have been higher off placing the cash into profitable the purse bid, and he wouldn’t have needed to take care of paying to get Staff Chukhadzhian to combat in Philly.
He’s acquired his work minimize out for him as a result of absence of notable fighters at 147 and his unwillingness to pay the champions to comply with combat Ennis. They received’t comply with lowball gives for fights they’ve little probability of profitable to come back to Philadelphia.
The British promoter Hearn goes to want to grasp the U.S. fighters as a result of he doesn’t look like he has any understanding of how People work.
Hearn just lately failed to barter a take care of WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. when he confronted to sweeten the deal by $500,000 from 1.7 million to 2.2 million for a unification conflict. Staff Norman was prepared to comply with the $1.7 million to combat Ennis in Las Vegas, however Hearn didn’t comply with the supply.
Hearn thinks that after Boots fights Karen, Staff Norman will see the sunshine and comply with his supply. I severely doubt it. If something, their worth will possible bounce to $3 million after Norman Jr. destroys Derrieck Cuevas on November eighth, and he seems to be like a golden idol in that efficiency.
It’s necessary that Hearn do a greater job of matching Ennis as a result of he’s getting off to a poor begin with him preventing David Avanesyan and now Chukhadzhian. With teh method issues are going, Ennis is heading in the identical path as Demetrius Andrade, a former Matchroom fighter, who Hearn matched towards weak oppoisition and did not additional his profession.
WBC tremendous flyweight champion ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) defends towards Pedro Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KOs) within the co-feature. Followers on social media consider the Rodriguez vs. Guevara combat ought to be the true headliner becaue there’s extra curiosity in that match-up than the principle occasion mismatch between Boots and Chukhadzhian.
Ennis already beat that man by a lopsided 12-round unanimous resolution a 12 months in the past on January seventh, profitable by the scores 120-108, 120-108, and 120-108.
