Boots Ennis TKO6 Eimantis Stanionis... Boots Ennis performed spectacularly in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday, adding Eimantis Stanionis' WBA welterweight title to the IBF version Ennis already owned. Ennis bloodied and punished Stanionis, knocking him down in the sixth round. At the end of the round, Stanionis' corner stopped the fight, making Ennis a unified champion with a 34-0 record. Stanionis is now listed at 15-1, but 19-4 is the more accurate record taking into account paid fights in the World Series of Boxing. Stanioinis landed a few solid punches when he threw with Ennis, but Ennis landed the harder punches consistently and in general, Ennis' movement was too much for Stanionis to deal with. Further unification is a goal of Ennis', and he certainly would be favored against both of the other welterweight champions, Mario Barrios (WBC) and Brian Norman (WBO).
