Boots Ennis Disposes Of Uisma Lima In Opening Round
By: Sean Crose
Jaron "Boots" Ennis returned to the ring Saturday night in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, stepping up to junior middleweight.
He faced Uisma Lima, a fighter with only one defeat, making his American debut. Despite Ennis being largely expected to win, Lima was a largely unknown commodity.
The opening round saw Ennis deliver a thunderous combination, putting Lima to the mat. After getting up, Ennis immediately went to work to end the fight early, sending Lima down again.
Although Lima got up once more, he was clearly in trouble, and a final furious flurry led the referee to step in and end the fight.
Ennis looked stellar in his junior middleweight debut.
