This is a chance for Ennis to showcase some of the nuances in his boxing game that belie the idea he’s just this Philly style KO artist.
Lipinets is a multi-faceted, crafty pugilist who will certainly test him in this regard, and he seems to think he will be able to flummox Ennis in this altercation.
[promoted-sportsbook]Jaron Ennis Looks For Statement Win
Jaron Boots Ennis is a surging 23-year-old contender, and this upcoming Lipinets fight represents a step up against a solid contender. Ennis has been dispatching foes steadily and has not gone more than six rounds in his pro career.
His last outing was a no-contest against Chris Van Heerden in December after a cut caused by an inadvertent headbutt. Boots looks to return to the form that saw him compile a sixteen-fight KO streak before the inconclusive finish of his last prizefight.
These 147 pounders match up quite well with one another stylistically. Ennis is a human highlight reel, and Lipinets is a high-octane, pressure fighter who always seems to be encroaching forward.
Sergey Lipinets’ Path to Being a Two Division Champ
Lipinets is a former 140-pound world champion and is currently ranked #3 in the division by the WBA. His last outing saw him go to a majority draw with Custio Clayton last October in their interim IBF welterweight world title fight.
Prior to that last bout, Sergey Lipinets was riding a three-fight win streak, with back-to-back stoppages after taking his sole career loss to Mikey Garcia in March 2018.
Ennis enters this contest with a 92 percent knockout rate with all but two bouts ending emphatically inside the distance.
Conversely, Lipinets has never been stopped inside the distance as a pro, and he also a respectable 75 percent stoppage rate overall. Sergey Lipinets also has some bite in his strikes that resonates across two different weight divisions.

This bout is scheduled for twelve rounds, but I do not see this one encroaching to the final bell.
Ultimately, I think that Ennis will get back to his modus operandi of separating opponents from consciousness this weekend.
I think there’s good value in pursuing prop bets on this bout not going the distance, Ennis winning via TKO or KO (-275), and Ennis winning in either the seventh or eighth rounds (situated at +850 and +900 respectively).
