The Shakur – Tank Hybrid? Shawn Porter’s Comparison Of Jaron Ennis’s Skills After His Victory Over Eimantas Stanionis

Pod host Shawn Porter was going overboard praising Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis after his win final Saturday night time, saying he’s a mixture of Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis. He says in case you “combine” Tank and Shakur, you get Jaron Ennis. It sounds wacky, however that’s Porter’s view.

Porter was caught within the second, overwhelmed by Ennis’s sixth-round stoppage win over WBA welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis (15-1, 9 KOs) on the Boardwalk Corridor in Atlantic Metropolis.

Overblown Reward?

Based mostly on that efficiency, Ennis, the previous IBF 147-lb champion ‘Showtime’ Shawn stated he’s like a mixture of Shakur and Tank. He says Boots’ defensive expertise are on par with WBC light-weight champion Shakur Stevesnon, who’s close to unhittable, and his “explosive” energy is like that of Tank Davis.

“If you need a fighter that’s as defensively accountable as Shakur Stevenson, makes the fitting transfer each time defensively, that man [Jaron Ennis] proper there,” stated Shawn Porter on his YouTube channel, going overboard, glazing Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.

Defensive Realities

Ennis will get hit approach an excessive amount of for him to be in comparison with Shakur. Porter’s concepts are completely unsound. Even in opposition to the Rocky Balboa-esque Eimantas Stanionis, Boots was getting hit onerous in each spherical. He wasn’t hit rather a lot as a result of Stanionis was so restricted as a fighter, however the punches that Boots was hit with had been the kind that may knock out many fighters.

I imply, he was getting hit clear by Stanionis. If this man had actual expertise, Ennis would have been knocked out.

“If you need a person that’s as highly effective as [135-pounder] Tank Davis, is as explosve and might finish the combat at any level and any time,” stated Shawn, persevering with along with his heavy reward of Boots.

“You might have a mixture of Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis, two of the most effective fighters on this planet and one man [Ennis] proper there. That’s how good that child is,” stated Porter.

Ennis’s energy will not be explosive. He has to land quite a lot of photographs to get knockouts. In distinction, Tank Davis has one-punch energy and will get his opponents out with one shot. Boots won’t ever be that type of fighter.

Porter must put a sock in it and maintain off on the glowing reward of Boots till he beats two or three of those killers:

– Vergil Ortiz Jr– Terence Crawford– Serhii Bohachuk– Janibek Alimkhanuly– Israil Madrimov– Sebastian Fundora– Charles Conwell

Tank + Shakur = Boots https://t.co/Th70xZiyBH
