Ennis is seemingly all the time below strain within the ring–and I’m not even referring to Lima or any of his previous opponents. It appears like Ennis is all the time able the place the slightest misstep can be added to the record of issues his critics point to as a tragic flaw.
Whilst you might argue his critics have been supplied the ammunition on the power of the skilled decisions Boots and his staff have made, it is nonetheless a heck of a weight to hold into each combat.
Lima is a troublesome Angolan fighter who hasn’t confronted high competitors.
He has one loss on his professional document, a unanimous resolution defeat to Aaron McKenna in 2023 and the judges’ scorecards confirmed the latter in full management. That does not seem to bode nicely for Lima, although we’ll see what occurs within the ring.
If Lima has any success towards Boots, the doubters’ voices will get louder and extra will doubt the younger star’s health for a title shot at 154 kilos.
That stated, there are too many viable fights accessible for him towards the likes of WBO champion Xander Zayas, WBA champion Abass Baraou, WBC champ Sebastian Fundora or Keith Thurman (whom he faces on October 25), and IBF king Bakhram Murtazaliev. A win on Saturday would nearly definitely put him in line for a combat with certainly one of them–greater than probably Baraou.
