 Jaron Ennis Analysis

Jaron Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs) is a rising star in the welterweight division, possessing the skills and potential to become a truly dominant boxer. The Philly native grabbed the IBF title after Terence Crawford got stripped in 2023, and he’s not looking to let it go anytime soon.

Thanks to lightning-fast hands, devastating knockout power, and elusive defense, Ennis has stopped an impressive 28 of his 31 opponents. He’s riding high off notable victories over Karen Chukhadzhian and Roiman Villa.

If Boots wants to keep his perfect record intact, he’ll need to use that speed and movement to keep Avanesyan guessing. He’s got the skills to pick his spots, land those crisp combos, and frustrate the Russian all night long.

And if Avanesyan tries to bring the heat, expect Ennis to make him pay with those lightning-fast counters. He’s also got the crowd on his side in the city of Brotherly Love, so we can’t argue with his heavy price in the Saturday boxing odds.

David Avanesyan Analysis

David Avanesyan (30-4-1, 18 KOs), meanwhile, is a battle-tested and experienced contender who has previously held interim WBA, NABF, and European welterweight titles. He knows his way around the ring and can never be counted out.

Although the Russian-born fighter has fallen short against elite opponents such as Lamont Peterson and Terence Crawford, his relentless style and punching power make him a dangerous underdog.

The game plan for Avanesyan is simple but not easy – pressure, pressure, pressure. He’s got to cut off the ring, get in Ennis’ face, and unleash hell to the body and head.

If he can turn this into a phone booth brawl and wear down the young champ, he might just have a shot at pulling off the upset. Still, as the +900 underdog, oddsmakers aren’t bullish on his chances.

Ennis vs Avanesyan Prediction

While Avanesyan is a respectable opponent, it’s hard to bet against the highly-skilled Ennis, especially in Philadelphia. He’ll likely put on a show for the Philly crowd and prove once again why he’s one of the brightest young stars in boxing.

Expect Ennis to start fast, using his speed and accurate punching to establish control early. As this fight progresses, look for him to slow Avanesyan with body shots before stopping the Russian in the middle rounds. The boxing pick here is Jaron Ennis by 5th-round TKO.

Saturday Boxing Picks:

• Ennis by KO/TKO/Technical Decision or DQ (-600)
• Ennis in Rounds 4-6 (+220)
