Boots Ennis Got The Knockout He Needed. Now What?

Boots Ennis Got The Knockout He Needed. Now What?

Jaron “Boots” Ennis did exactly what he needed to do, only faster. In his first fight since moving up to 154 pounds, Ennis knocked out somebody named Uisma Lima just two minutes after the opening bell on Saturday night in front of a hometown Philadelphia crowd to take the WBO interim super welterweight title.  

So I think I’m speaking for Ennis’s fans and, hell, anybody who gives a damn about boxing when I say, with all due respect: Nicely done, Boots … NOW GO FIGHT SOMEBODY WE’VE HEARD OF, FOR CRISSAKES!
