David Avanesyan vs Jaron “Boots” Ennis: Odds, Tips and Predictions

Boots Ennis Returns With Philadelphia On His Back

Ennis vs Avanesyan

• Moneyline Ennis -2000
• Moneyline Avanesyan +1440
• Total Rounds 5.5

This Saturday night, Jaron Ennis returns to the ring in a homecoming bout live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, streaming on DAZN. Recently, Boots faced outside-the-ring issues in court regarding whom he wants as his representation. Regardless of how the boxing public perceives it, Jaron never signed with Al Haymon, instead signing a deal with Showtime Boxing. Now Ennis has signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Sports.

Two items stand out with this event coming up on Saturday. One is Jaron selling an impressive amount of tickets in his backyard of Philly. The second is Ennis taking on a journeyman in David Avanesyan. It should be noted that he was the replacement for Cody Crowley, who was forced to withdraw after being deemed medically unfit. If Jaron does what is expected of him versus David, let’s hope Eddie Hearn can secure a live opponent later this year.

It may come down to how much money Eddie can pay opponents due to the high-risk, low-reward scenario that fighters have found themselves taking on such a talented boxer in Ennis. Let’s hope the Saudis want to put up some real money for Terrence Crawford to fight Boots instead of a Canelo Alvarez fight. As far as the fight this Saturday, beyond a few rounds of possible competitiveness, looks for the fast hands, accuracy, and power punching of Boots to overwhelm Avanesyan.

A bet with value in this fight is non-existent unless you wanna guess the round Ennis stops him in.

My Official Prediction Jaron Ennis by mid-to-late stoppage.
